World Cup 36 Introduction:

For more information on the World Cup, its 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 36th competition, and your nation can take part! Every team is given a rank based on their performances in previous Cups, and the starting rank is roughly 200 (the Current 'best team in the world' is Ariddia, 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). Please note: A lot of RPs does not guarantee goals or wins, but your chances are improved of this happening. i.e. Two debutant, non-ranked, 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.

For any other questions you may have, please see the World Cup FAQs article on NSwiki. (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/World_Cup_FAQs) - Courtesy of Starblaydia


The longest-running sports-competition in NationStates reaches its milestone Thirty-sixth tournament: the Football (Soccer) World Cup. Please do specify if you have not participated before.


If your nation is new to the World Cup, you will be able to take part in the preliminary Baptism of Fire Cup (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Baptism_of_Fire) competition.
If this is your first Cup, please indicate whether you wish to be registered for the Baptism of Fire or not.


Puppets have to post with their nation and identify their master. One Puppet per Master nation, and you may only enter a puppet once you have already competed in a World Cup'

Oh, I sign up...

This message has been broadcast from Billopesha's national football team manager:

"The nation of Billopesha would like to sign up for the World Cup as well as Baptism of Fire football tournament. This will be our first international tournament, and the first time our national football team has played since it was beaten 9 - 0 by Ruby University. Still we...ur...hope for the best, no matter how very unlikely it is. We've got to start somewhere. I better get off now and get my team to resign from the army - they've been there for 2 years. Oh, and I'd better tell Billopesha Mail Service that I'll be off work for a month or two. Bye!"

Democratic Republic of Billopesha - "Through Sense We Prevail" (in football - hopefully)

*Claps hands with joy*

Sign us up. Maybe I'll actually RP this time.

Yafor 2 are in...again. Hey, we might just qualify this time!

Does this thread have to do with the world cup cause this is WC36 and this one is WC 35 RP Thread

The qualifying stage of World Cup 35 is in progress, so people are role-playing it in the World Cup 35 RP thread. These are the signups for the next cup, number 36.

"Follow that dark horse!"

On behalf of Keyne Island, this is Kimberley Clarke, signing up.
