I think this type of things belong in the General forum. Not in the internationsl incidenst forum :S

General is for OOC...this is IC.

One question.
Would I be able to join, since I am in Earth V, but according to some I am not technically a country yet? I know it's very confusing.

I think this type of things belong in the General forum. Not in the internationsl incidenst forum :S

This is e5 dude. I'd like to sign up. Brazilians luv football!. I'd liek to host to.

Until someone else says otherwise The Caucasus Republic will officially join this. We have no interest in hosting, because we have few stadiums big enough for the Size of the Crowds we will draw.

OCC: Only two of my countries has a football teams and Granate you don't have a football team. Not a good one anyway, I found a link that lists the players, stats and so on of the teams that competed in the World Cup not long ago. Heres the link-http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/w/team/index.html

That link should get us started, I haven't decided yet if I'm going to join.

You dont need to have one. You can form one.

I know, but his team is going to suck major starting from stratch while the rest of us can use our a real team to begin with. I'm sure they play football in the coutries Granate owns, just none that competed in the World Cup.

All teams will be considered level.

Sweet. I also think Persecution and Hatred wanted in, he made a post in the OCC Thread bout this.

It dosnt matter nobdy sucks in this. You use a number random number machine to get socres. Theres no skill level in teams. I've done this before.

The DPRI will send a team to this event.

Die Rechtskonservativ Monokratie Großdeutsches Sechste Reich announces that it will join, and also announces a bid for host nation status.

[OOC- Okay. I'm ready to start the bracketing and then scoring as soon as everyone who wants to sign up does so. I'm going to throw some NPC nations in to flesh out th torunament, if the need arises.

If you're a big country, please consider doing what the UK does and having eacc RL country you control send their own team- otherwise there will be all of a dozen countries competing.]

IC:
The United Autonomous Republics of Central Asia shall send a team to this event. Our FIFA-qualified referees are also standing by for officiating purposes.

The Protectorate of Poland announces that it will join, and also announces a bid for host nation status.

The Protectorate of Scandinavia announces that it will join, and also announces a bid for host nation status.

The Republican Republic of Great Romeo announces that it will join the competition, and also announces a bid for host nation status.

Well if you really want to seed it yourself, I guess go ahead.

List updated to here. Protectorates...Ok start putting together your roster and...well you can post them here I suppose. Remember to chose from RL teams(use wikipedia {____ national football team} usually that format).

I can't find anybody. Oh well.

I can't find anybody. Oh well.

Azebaijani Team (http://www.affa.az/affa.php?lg=en&ml=6)

Just use them. ;)

The Empire of Vineyard not only wishes to sent a competitor to the tornement, but offers to host it in either Rome, Zagreb, or the Reformed City of Kinshasa. We can guarentee secruity at any of these locations, as we have a force of 200,000 Military Poliece currently on Stand-by.

The Philippines will br sending a team as well.

(If you can send more than one team : Taiwan and New Zealand will be sending too)

Tommrow I will put up a profile for my host city.

The Emirate will send a team to play, but unfortunately will refrain from hosting the Cup, due to numerous other issues of domestic concern. We will arrange the team profile as soon as possible.

[OOC- Dweladelfia prime, no. There may be more than one team per country, as detailed by me earlier and as quoted by TG6R.

Okay. As of this time, we have 25 PC nations/divisions of nations participating. I'm closing the admittance tomorrow my-time (GMT-6), so anyone who hasn't announced their intention to join, too bad. You'll have to wait for the next one.

Should we not get 32 nations (I'm not expecting we do), in the interests of keeping it bracketed fairly I'm going to throw some NPC nations in against each other and against you guys. Just enough to bump to 32.

Azaha, I'll try to keep it going as quickly as possible. Hopefully your nation loses before you ship out, I guess. :P]

Or you could have it grouped as qualifiers and allow 16 to qualify. I'd also be ok with breaking up. If we have 4 slots open, then split me. If three, take Ukraine, Turkey, and SA Balkan Team. If 2 then SA East(Turkey) and SA West(all else).

Nope :p

[OOC- Then don't join.

Seriously, no one else has a problem with it and it fits perfectly with the RL examples of Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and England. Since, you know, there's no U.K. team in the RL tournament. And, since I'm bracketing, I say that I would like people with very large countries (like TG6R) to divide up. Others are welcome to do so and have.

If you want to only send one team, fine, do it. But please don't insult the method I'm using to create the tournament or the other people who decided that they wanted to divide up their countries a bit as I requested that some people do.]

The Confederacy will be sending a team to take part in the first world cup.

[OOC-Entry into this World Cup is now closed.

So, who's to decide the venue? Sel Appa, you or me? What do you want to do- you have put your name forward as a country to host it, so should I choose the nation so as to have an unbiased judgement? Or do you want to randomize it or something?]

I only offered a bid if no one offered their own, so mine is voided. I'll have a coin flipout for host. I'm using a virtually even coin(one of those plastic ones). Tails knocks you out, heads moves you to the next round. Last nation standing wins the bid.

Here is the full bracket. Empty places were eliminated by placing PC Earth V nations that had not expressed interest in joining into the bracket- so whoever wins is someone who's on Earth V. As a real person.

I present to you the bracket.

(Bracketing done with RNG help. It was a bit complicated- basically, at every stage in the bracketing, every nation had a unique number chosen for sections of the bracket from within the range of numbers available and the RNG selected the number needed to fill parts of the bracket/assign group letters for stage 1. If needed, I can explain more. I doubt anyone wants to hear it, but..... door is open.)

Due to DP's boycott, the host bid defaults to Great Romeo. A boycott would be made into a forfeit I think or maybe the matches wouldn't count. Whatever you want to do Mr. WC Tech ;)

Wouldn't my first match be against Dweladelfia?
Or would it be against TG6R?

ooc: Seeing how Kopparsbergs has 3 teams, and DP is boycotting the cup, would it be possible for me to form 2 teams; Team Europa and Team Africana? The Europa team will fill the space I origionally had, while the Team Africana can fill the void DP left.

Vineyard: Yes.

[OOC- A Bit of Clarification: Star meant a very, very close game. A few ties. Scores were derived from the ratio of wins to each side in the RNG. The number in parantheses next to each nation's name is that nation's rank in their Group at this time. There are 2 games left to play still in each group. Congrats to winners, good luck to losers in the next game!]

How did the FIFA ranked 32nd team (Serbia) get shut out by the 76th FIFA ranked team?

[OOC- Because the FIFA rankings in the real world have no bearing on an imaginary World Cup. Because seeding and socrinating for these things are done by random and there is no complicated percentage-based thing for an event that, even in real life, has massive surprises. And because the FIFA world ranking system is a P.O.S. that doesn't work right, even in real life.]

OOC: Okay. ;)

Starblaydia of the NSWC happens to agree with you.

OOC: Was this finished?

OOC: Was this finished?

No

I want this to finish. Only because I wanna win.

I'm ordering this to finish. :eek:

And this is the part where you say "Make it so, Number 1". Oh How I loved TNG.
