World Cup Introduction:

For more information on the World Cup, it's History, how it works, who runs it, and the competitions related to it, check out the World Cup Wiki Site (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/World_Cup)

The NSWC is a tournament for any NS nation who signs up. This World Cup is about to Start its 19th competition. Every team is given a rank based on their performances in previous Cups, and the starting rank is 150 (the Current 'best team in the world' is Rejistania, with a rank of 1) See::KPB Rankings (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/KPB_ranking_system)

Scores are generated using either a Java program or through various or MS Excel sheet 'scorinators' which use random numbers, weighted by ranking and RP bonus to produce the scores.

It is encouraged for Nations to RP - roleplay - their matches, team rosters, players and such. Good RPs will help raise your chance of winning (especially in the Baptism of Fire and Colony Cup). Please note: A lot of RPs does not guarantee goals or wins, but your chances are improved or this happening. i.e. Two debutant, Rank 150, nations play each other. One has RP'd a few times, the other has not. The nation who has participated should have the better probability of victory, but still has a chance of a Win, Loss or Draw.

RPs can be Team Roster announcements, fan comments, press conferences, media stories, anything about the game, as long as you've kept to the score as posted or TGd to you by the host/scorer. - Originally Produced by Starblaydia

The Kassyyk Raging Reds international side would like to be considered for a berth in the illustrious World Cup contest as well as the BoF Cup.

The Vikings will return despite the pathetic performence from World Cup XXII

"We'll be back" as the Governor of California says.

Spruitland will be participating for the first time. So, yes, sign us up for the BoF as well.

We're back. No puppets.

Let's qualify this time!

The Seraphims intend to return for more glory next time around. =^^=

*looks around*

*sees no menacing Rejistanians*

*signs up, and hurriedly leaves*

Vilita & Turori will return once again :D Confirmation is a given, but alas will come eventually.

Hypocria would like to sign up for its first senior tournament.

We'll have a go at the BOF as well.

Brand new team, so please...be gentle :D

Hiya,

The World Cup is for national teams. :)
There are international club competitions as well (Champions League, NSFA), but for this one, you'll have to send a selection of Buben's best.
Of course, nothing's stopping you from putting those Kronoss Capitals in a new shirt and making them the Buben national team. :)
(I'd suggest signing up for the BoF as well - it's a pre-World Cup tournament for newcomers and will increase your ranking by the time the actual WC starts.)

Okay Sweet, I shall make the change, and yes i'm up for the BoF, sign up here for that?

And thanks for pointing that out :)

Okay Sweet, I shall make the change, and yes i'm up for the BoF, sign up here for that?

And thanks for pointing that out :)

Yep, sign up for BoF is here too, so you should be all set for that now. (BoF = Baptism of Fire - see first post in this thread).

Legalese is ready to actually qualify for the World Cup Final this time, unless we win a bid to host (unconfirmed).

Also, look for confirmation from the Giustizalian Football Union, whose national team may make an appearance in the BoF.

What can I say? Legalese just knows what he's talking about ;)

Giustizalia signs up for WC XXIII and (if there's space) the BoF, provided that main nations get first dibs.

Legal, you DID qualify for the WC22 finals. ;)

Bettia toss their hat into the World Cup ring once more - maybe we'll go better this time around and qualify.

President Smith leaves the room, leaving his Druidan Bitter behind. That's unusual. Wait the label... That doesn't say Bessburg Best Bitter... it says... sign Druida up for World Cup 23...? Odd name for a beverage...

We sign up for the World Cup, and I guess the BoF, because we're new.

Starblaydia will, of course, be back in town for World Cup 23.

As will our cruelly-denied WC22-Qualification puppet of Nova Britannicus when we manage to log into Jolt with them.

Well whaddaya know? We're in!

After only our second Cup of Harmony appearance, of course. Bloody Hiiraan!

Let´s go guys........ win the cup

The Krytenian National Team has nothing better to do than participate in their ninth WC tourney.

So, no BoF for us!

I have nothing better to do than copy Krytenia's line and sign Tadjikistan up

Hockey canada is in for our second WC

I have nothing better to do than copy Krytenia's line and sign Tadjikistan up

Fair enough you copying my line...I did copy your 10-0-0 qualifying record after all... :)

The goats of Caprine States are itching to get their feet wet in international competition. They haven't been able to play even a friendly since we gained independence; sign us up for the BoF and the WC.

Sarzonia would like to announce that it intends to return to play in its eighth World Cup.

My team of super mutants want to sign up for BoF.

Continuing in the trend of World Cup 22, Oglethorpia would like to again field a novice team that shall likely dramatically fall to and languish in the bottom of the table.

Vtorbetin signs up for its first ever World Cup, as well as it's first (and indeed last) BoF.

The Colony of Funny Looking Islands would like to play in the cup again.

FLP sign up. And we'll actually send a team and play this time.

The U.S.S.E. would like to sign up it's national team for its first World Cup and the Baptism of Fire Tournament.

The Nedalian FA has released its intention to particapte the Lions in their second World Cup after its dismal performance.

Chicanada will be sending its third team to the World Cup in hopes of maybe just sliding into the Finals.

we want to play B.o.F and within 10 worldcups we'll be on top of the world!! Mwahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Les Tailles de Commerce s’inscrit à sa dix-septième Tasse du Monde.

Oliverry signs-up for it's 3rd WC!

I believe I signed up.

Pedriana signs up as a puppet of Bedistan. Played before, but I think it was back in 20, and then 17 before that. Every three Cups, I guess.

Sign up the Prolaterian Pandas please, both for WC and BoF.

The CHFF is interested in hosting World Cup 23. Of course, it would be much easier, for several reasons, if another nation was available to co-host, but the CHFF doesn’t really care who that co-host is. Probably not Lovisa, though…

Lucianic to sign up please, and BoF

Englerica would love to join.

I'd be only too happy to, if you want.

Anarchist Canuckistan would be proud to enter the Baptism of Fire tourney in preparation for its first foray into the World Cup, as an opportunity to show those other Canuck pretenders who's the right heir to the red, white (and black) flag.
We will field a selection from the defunct Canadian national team, as well as most of the roster of the Montreal Impact, who didn't have a choice to to become Punks in Anarchist Canuckistan.
May the games begin !!!

The last time(s) we entered the Cup, we had our national arses handed to us. So we laid low a few years, and practised twenty-nine hours a day until our feet were swollen and blistered, and emerged from the cocoon a beautiful swan. So count us in this time.

We need 3 more sign ups! I refuse to make a RP-thread before we have a definite number of sign-ups since everybody deserves the same chance to get an RP-bonus!

Wiht signups still open, two questions:
a) Can I send a joint puppet team of Liamopolis and Liamton (referred to as Liamopolis-Liamton, a single team)? This wouldn't necessarily violate the one puppet team rule. I asked in the discussion thread but got no reply.
b) If so, and understanding that the Pre-WC23 BoF is over, can they be entered into the Pre-WC24 BoF, even after playing the WC 23? Probably not but I'd thought I'd ask.

If yes to a, then I'll confirm (with Liamopolis) when I can log out of this account without deleting all my cookies.

To b), it's no, once you entere a WC you're ineligible for the BoF.

You won't have a rank but otherwise no problem! As it was said, no BoF once you entered a WC.

If I may quote from IRC...

<Sonaron> gonna say, if my KPB hasn't been purged and I get my nation back quickly, i might want into this one too
<Bedistan> which WC were you last in?
<Sonaron> uh.
<Sonaron> either 22 or 21, IIRC
<Bedistan> wasn't 22, I'm pretty sure, but anything from 20 on would mean you still have a rank
<Bedistan> 63 Sonaron 6.00
<Bedistan> yep, you're still ranked :)
<Sonaron> ooh, fun :)
<Bedistan> and it actually was WC22, I stand corrected
<Sonaron> can I be signed up absentee, given that I'm in the process of getting my forum access back?
<Sonaron> ;p
<Bedistan> yeah, I'll take care of that for you
