Sarzonia would be honoured to send a team as the sport has attained a cult following in our country. Perhaps this would lead us toward forming a professional league.

OOC: Is this the outdoor game or "box lacrosse"?

Hockey Canada proudly welcomes Sarzonia, and yes it is "box lacrosse".

Fmjphoenix would like to sign up as well. Being originally from New York and looking through my family, it runs in the blood. I am glad to see someone starting this :D

Just sending some blokes round to find out what lacrosse is, I guess they can be the team.

Well, this may not be the best analogy but think of it like hockey on a feild.

You mean like...field hockey?

Well, I know very little about the rules of feild hockey, but lacrosse and ice hockey have very similar rules only lacrosse is on a feild with sticks.

I believe lacrosse has sticks with nets on the end, and you fling the puck (or whatever it's called) around in the air and catch it in the nets. It's very strange...

Holy ****! never imagined this could spread this quickly! Here is the list:

Hockey Canada
Sarzonia
Fmjphoenix
Fimble Loving Peoples
Euroslavia
Largent
Kazakhstania
Tonissia
Lovisa
South Osettia
Marligantis

2 divisions of 5 and top 4 in each division advance? TG me if you want this idea. Host nation gets a bye.
Marligantis

BTW, there will be absolutely no rankings coming into this tournement so everyone has an equal playing field.

(But isn't that why this tournement is great?)

I'm not sure if that's the best idea. That team could be the worst team in the league, and they'd still make it into the playoffs, while another team who has a better record than them would miss out. Playoffs should be based solely on performance and records.
