Womens World Cup 8- THE OCHO

As usual sign-ups are now open as are hosting bids. If you do want to host, please be available to actually host. Please confirm puppets as well, of course.

Yes.. provided that we don't notice.. there have been men before in the WWC. (we ain't that strict around here.)

Boy this seemed to have died off fast. So I'm setting the Sign-up cutoff date at THursday Jan 11th at 12:01 EST. Voting is now open for the host duties, so either post your host vote here, or TG me on nationstates. The voting will end that same day as well (unless another host bid pops up).

Women’s World Cup 8
Cafundéu hosting bid

(Cafundó do Juta, Cafundéu) – The CFFC(Confederação de Futebol Feminino de Cafundéu – in English, the Cafundéu’s Female Football Confederation) will try to host the Women's World Cup for the second time, after losing the hosting bid for Noremark in the last time.

The details of the hosting bid are almost the same, as nothing changed in the country during a year. As most of the stadiums' capacity were increased during the World Cup qualifiers, the infrastructure level is excellent. The population hopes to see the best national teams in women’s football. See below details of Cafundéu’s hosting bid:

1-Group Format: 4 or 6 groups, with number of teams per group definited after number of signups. Minimum of 16. The best 3 or 5 teams(depending on the number of groups) will be on separated groups, and the hosts too. After that, the other teams will be divided in pots. Teams in the same pot won’t be on the same group(World Cup format). In 4-group competition, the second phase will be already the quarter-finals. But in 6-group system, the Round of 16 will be played(called oitavas-de-final). A 6-group system will only be used if the number of signups is 24 or higher.

2-Scorination System: NSFooty Sim will be used to simulate the scores, using the Qazox rank as a basis and adding an average RP bonus.

3-Dates of the games: As we have 19 teams, 4 groups will be used(three with five and one with four teams). After a short break, the second phase will start, with two matchdays for each phase:

First 5 Days: Group Stage
Day 6: Rest day
Day 7 and 8: Quarterfinals
Day 9: Semifinals
Day 10: Rest day
Day 11: 3rd Place Game and Final
Day 12: Commemorative Game(champions x WWC8 NT)

4-Host Cities: Cafundéu decided to include 16 host cities. Note that some can be not used(yesm and they are the same of the last hosting bid):

Cafundó do Juta: capital of the country, Cafundó do Juta is a big metropolis, with many things to do. The police is well funded and the economy is great. The stadium is Praça Maior, with capacity of 120,000 and the most modern of the country.

Lasft: second biggest city, Lasft is another big city, but more beautiful than Cafundó do Juta, since it’s on the seaside. People from around the world come to Lasft every year because of its beaches. The stadium is the Obleisco Monumental, with capacity of 100,000 and it’s very modern too.

Dunboor: this city is big, but it isn’t too visited by tourists, because of its very cold weather. But it’s good for business and the biggest mines of the country are in Dunboor. The stadium is the Maracatu Arena, with capacity of 75,000 and less modern than the biggest ones.

Central City: as the name says, this city is located in the centre of the country. It has one of the biggest airports of the country and has a chaotic traffic. As the city is located in an area of mountains, it has many tunnels. The stadium is the Toca do Tatu, with capacity of 60,000 but very modern.

Carandirú City: this city was very interesting in the past, but now it’s only used to hold prisioners. Cafundéu’s army is located there, too. It’s called the “prison city”. The stadium is the Presídio, with capacity of 75,000 and good infrastructure.

Elville: a peaceful city, with few high buildings and many farms. But its citiziens love sports, and because of that Elville was chosen to be one of the hosts. The stadium is the Parque do Sol, with capacity of 60,000 and normal conditions.

Penderia: the city is very big, and is an important city because of its location, in the border of the country. A huge fort was built in the city, and some tourists like to see the old buildings. A historic city. The stadium is the Campo de Batalha, with capacity of 80,000 and good infrastructure.

Submiria: another city located on the seaside. But Submiria has only one beach, the other parts of the city are flooded. But special houses are build on these parts. The city is very interesting and has a very good nightlife. The stadium is the Aquário Maior, with capacity of 50,000 and very modern.

São José: the oldest city of the country, São José has many historic buildings and tourist points. But nowadays it doesn’t have economic importance. The stadium is the Estádio Pioneiro, with capacity of 120,000 but in very bad conditions.

Espinal: the party city. Tourists come to Espinal because of its wonderful nightlife and big parties. As the city is located on the seaside, its beaches are much visited too. The stadium is the Ernesto Honesto’s Ground(homage to the former mayor), with capacity of 40,000 and good conditions.

Astari: another economic centre, is the home of two of the biggest companies of Cafundéu: the C-Eletronics and the Uranium Kings. Business are constant there. The stadium is the C-Eletronic’s Stadium, with capacity of 80,000 and very modern, but the confederation doesn’t like it very much.

Al-Zalabahad: arab immigrants founded this city, and surprisingly it became the biggest source of petroleum in the country. Most of the population of this city is muslim and they live in peace with the other citiziens. The stadium is the Mohammed Field, with capacity of 50,000 and very modern.

Compos: a small city in the countryside, Compos is a quiet city, but very important for the primary sector of the economy. Its people is very friendly and symphatetic. The stadium is the Latifúndio, with capacity of 40,000 and nice conditions.

Tijhus: this city is very near from Cafundó do Juta, and it’s very big too. But doesn’t have the same importance as its “sister”. But it’s very interesting too. The stadium is the Tijhus Stadium, with capacity of 45,000 and modern.

Lux: has the highest IDH in the country and one of the highest in the world. So, it’s considered one of the best cities to live. It has good security, education and healthcare. The stadium is the Emperor Van Tocco’s Arena, with capacity of 60,000 and very modern.

Srieht: like São José, is a very old city with historical importance, but not important in economy. Is the hometown of the emperor and it’s a religious place too. The stadium is the Templo Colossal, with capacity of 50,000 and medium conditions.

someone remind me to ban Az-Cz from the WWC (lol.. J/k)

You do know that dogs are eligible for the regular world cup right? At this point I'd say go ahead. We've already got two entirely unnecessary world cups (womens and indingenous).

and my response:
I take offence that the Women's World Cup is unnecessary. Cafendeu, who qualified for the latest Cup, actually started thier RPing in the Women's World Cup, NOT in THE BOF or the COH or the NSWC!!! (WHAT A FREAKING SHOCK!!!!!) The WWC, is like the BoF. It gives a taste of the NSWC, and its not a strict, so its more fun.. so go stick your head in a blender.

Woman's World Cup.


I know many of my fine readers (all five of you) are scratching your heads right now. "What's a Woman's World Cup?" This Raven can tell you it's not a giant cup full of women or a cup for a woman whose bra is world size. A World Cup is a sporting event that countries from all over the world compete and a Woman's World Cup is one for women.

Why one for women? Because, unlike Kesshite where men and women are equally strong, many women in the outside world are giantesses. These muscle bound amazons often reach seven feet call and can lift an average Kesshite man as easily as one lifts a babe. This is because women in the outside world drink the blood of bulls during dark ceremonies - many even have half-bull children.

Obviously, these women could not compete again men as they'd easily win. In the outside world, if a man loses to a woman, he is so ashamed that he must kill himself by wrestling a lion naked. (The man is naked, not the lion. Well, the lion is naked too after a fashion)

You can now understand why this Raven is so excited about the Woman's World Cup! Rest assured, I'll bring you updates as soon as they happen.

Until I run out of words, you're looking through the Raven's Eye.

No.. the Q-Cup bonus is going to be added to the Ranking after this World Cup. So the ranks are going to be the same. sorry. ( I have "simmed" a WWC, and added the Q-Cup bonus to it.. and the ranks you came up with are similar to what i came up with.) Adding the Q-Cup bonus after the WWC will in fact impact the ranks more than before it, as only 1/2 the bonus would count towards the ranking pts, so its not as fair. But after the 3rd Q-Cup, which will be after this WWC, Iam going to add the bonus to the WWC score so it's all taken care of at the same time.
