The Armed Galactic Republic of Corneliu also signs up.

Jeruselem look forward to your team taking us on :p
We're the best team in GP.

Well goodie for you. Problem though! We're not part of GP at the moment. :p

After a devestating Civil war, and the re-launch of the QFL, Qazox finally has the infrastructure to host the Women's World Cup, and formally announces its bid to host said tourney.

Depending on the number of sign-ups, there will be 3 to 5 qualifing groups, hopefully with an equal number of teams. Also depending on the number of sign-ups, either the top 2 or 3 teams from each group will advance to the Cup proper. If need be a play-off will determine any remaining spots. The Top 5 teams in the new rankings will be seeded while the remainder of the groups will be randomly drawn.

<Stuff deleted>The Top 5 teams in the new rankings will be seeded while the remainder of the groups will be randomly drawn.

By the looks of it - Qazox, Jeruselem, Wentland and two others (probably Green Wombat and ECIAM) will be top 5 seeds.

Count Anadu in, if signing up is still open. We're looking forward to meeting everyone on the pitch.

Join the 4th longest active football tourney on Nationstates today!!!

Ha. Ha.

Starblaydia signs up for the tournament with the fastest bloody turnaround.

Cafundéu signs-up.

Estresse Intenso will participate.

Im in

Just Quakmybush, no more Toranat

Oh, add my puppet Jeru FC - Rashina Dallas needs a team ...

Ha. Ha.

Starblaydia signs up for the tournament with the fastest bloody turnaround.

Well we got to catch up to the WORLD CUP somehow... lol

Sativaville and the Mathe's will be back once again to flame out in the quarters.

The Ermines, after a dissapointing loss to jeruslem in the Quarters of WWC9, announce that they will be back and will throw their hats into the ring for hosting bids.

The GREEN WOMBAT BID:

An unseeded, random draw, with either 4 or 5 groups depending on the number of sign-ups. I'm planning on having at least half the teams that sign up advance to the Cup proper. (i.e: if 20 sign up then 10 advance to next portion, if 30 sign up, 16 advance, etc.) There will be a mininum of 8 teams advancing to the next part. The scorinator to be used will be one of my own creation.

Of course, can't have one without US! So get US! in there.

bumpity bump

will there be style modifiers?

Sign up, it's like my 3rd cup...

Usually by now i have the new ranks up, but due to unfortunate circumstance, they won't be done until probably Thursday. (ooc:Gotta write a report for my crime scene class, and it's gonna take a couple of days.)

That's fine. The girls need a rest except in the case of ECIAM, it's blokes.

will there be style modifiers?

Yes from -3 to +3 and you can use decimals as well (i.e: -2.05 or +1.66) but keep it to 2 decimal places please.

Sorry about not having the new ranks up.. the paper took longer than i thought it would. I should have them up on Saturday, as i have to work tonight.. also bump to get more than 16 teams in.. come on.

I'vebeen knee-deep in work and college work and once again I can't do the rankings until sometime next week, could someone else possibly do them? Just look at the Qazoxian Rankings NSWiki, and you'll be able to figure it out. (9=100%, 8=50%, 7=25%)

Also I would like to put this to a vote, as to ask the World Cup to take over, as since Chicanada left following WWC5/beginning of WWC6, this has basically gone to crap. From about 30 teams in WWC's 2-5 to 17 last time out and so-far 16 this one. If the World Cup Commitee refuses to take over, THIS POSSIBLY WOULD BE THE LAST WOMEN'S WORLD CUP for the forseeable future. It has been a great run over these last 6-7 months, but the writing is on the wall.

Seen ECIAM? He has to score the 3rd placed game for WWC9. Oh well ...

Wentland withdrew there is no 3rd place game.

Yes you can.... we need the help.

Welcome back. We need more women, even if you start near the bottom.

Boy is this gonna be a fun tourney..


ZERO VOTES SO FAR FOR A HOST

And Mine and Green Wombat's don't count as they'd cancel out, and My Puppet can't vote.. so that leaves 14 teams to vote and ZERO have.. thanks.

I tell you what, if nobody's voted yet, I'd like to cast my hat into the ring for hosting. See, back before I was part of a WWC that saw some...well, quite retarded rules put down by Liverpool England, one of which I believe was that any complaints would be met with a ranking point penalty. I expressed displeasure, and when LE told me that I should have hosted it myself, I told him that I couldn't, having only realised the host bids were being accepted after the voting was closed.

Anyway.

I want to get a chance at hosting something to prove I can do it without any cock-ups, and I figure this is a good place to start.

If you want to... and if no one else decides in the next 2 days to actually vote.. It's yours.

I think I just ruined McPsychoville's plan LOL

I vote for Qazox

Only 24 hours left to vote and I have gotten 3 so far, so keep them coming. Ok? thanks.

I'm not going to cheat and use my puppet Jeru FC, in case people complain about the result. ;)

By a vote of 4-1 Qazox won the right to host Women's World Cup 10, but has decided to allow McPsychoville, a returning power to host instead. Qazox WILL host WWC 11 (if there is one) so NO hosting bids for that tourney will be allowed.

That's fine by me. :)
Hey, what about a Qazox-Psycho world cup bid for WC 35?

I don't think i'm ready for a World Cup hosting bid yet.. maybe after i graduate in May.. then i'll have time to host a World Cup (so maybe WC 36)

If i may ask. why haven't you tried to host a Cup yet?? (a JeruOx bid maybe...lol)

WELL THAT JUST SUCKS A$$... So I can't host WWC 11?

I may change my mind.. so there is a possiblity you could. just for now its up in the air.. An I really would have liked to see how a team could have played with a +2.89 or a -1.23 formation..

Well, hosting - my time zone will probably 12 hours difference between you and me. I cannot do this during the day as I have work which is very stressful (and sometimes destroys a weekend).

I do IT support ... for work and home (had to fix BSOD on my desktop yesterday, damn AMD Cool'n'Quiet)

I'm not discounting it yet, maybe getting a less stressful and busy job first. I like JeruOx! or Qazuselem

Ok.. thanks.

Time permitting, I will have the full thread up by Monday evening (GMT). I'd like to thank Qazox for giving me the opportunity to prove my hosting credentials (and that PsyQaz bid does not sound like a bad idea at all).

A few notes on the way the tournament will be run. Sixteen teams provides a nice 4x4 group stage and such, leading into the single elimination tournament we know and love. I will be using the Qazoxian ratings (below), and hope it will be a good clean fight, no punching below the belt, no fishhooking, no small joint manipulation, LET'S GET IT ON.

Qazox (4.281 points - 1st in the world)
Jeruselem (4.181 points - 3rd)
Wentland (4.206 points - 2nd)
Swilatia (2 points - Unranked)
Corneliu (2 points - Unranked)
Anadu (2 points - Unranked)
Starblaydia (3.913 points - 9th)
Cafundéu (4.049 - 5th)
Estresse Intenso (3.623 points - 12th)
Lovisa (3.040 points - 16th)
Quakmybush (3.950 points - 7th)
Sativaville (3.931 points - 8th)
Green wombat (4.078 points - 4th)
Yafor 2 (3.956 points - 6th)
Harlesburg (2 points - Unranked)
McPsychoville (2 points - Unranked)

Hey McPsychoville, I'm ranked 5th, with 4.049 points.

so, when does this start?

Looks like Rashina Dallas is back the Jeruselem team again as Jeru FC can't play. Oh well :p

Mistake? I don't know what you're talking about! >_>

I have one small assignment to finish and a couple of lectures today, so the full thread should be up tonight. Does 48 hours sound like a reasonable length of time between matchdays? Ah, also, if someone would be kind enough to do my own matches for me I'd be very appreciative.
