I will get an RP bonus for the two part RP that I just posted with my main account and my puppet, right? I decided to use the puppet because most of the characters from this line of RPs are from the Keystone Islands, the Armeian colony.

I'm so happy y'all are still using the flag I made for the World Bowl account.

No, I actually am using the Saintland one.

But after looking at the last World Bowl, which also used Saintland's formula, there aren't really that many more shutouts this time around. A lot of them have just been in Kaboomlandia's group for some reason.

*notices that I'm ranked second in the Group of Death going into MD10*

So, you're telling me there's a chance?

If I make it into the knockouts, that's one of the best quasi-upsets ever considering that these are my first ever national team games and I'm going against the number one and number twelve teams as well as another top fifty team.

AARGH! I was three points from the group title in B. Which means I get to face Timbermunich - again.

I'm getting a lot of deja vu in this tournament.
- 8-2
- 7-game winning streak
- Up against Timbermunich in Round of 16

Sound familiar?

Though it would be fitting for your side to give us our first loss and send us packing...

You're definitely welcome to sign up for the next World Bowl. Just look for the World Bowl XXVIII Signup Thread (likely around the end of the gridiron season).

Unfortunately, you're going to need to produce your own roster for the World Bowl. You can use somebody else's roster format as a template but you need to make up your own names for your players (and there are several web sites that can help you come up with names). At a minimum, a roster just needs to be a list of names and positions for the players on your team though you can add more details if you want to.

I know,just needed a blank roster template. I'll add my own stuff such as stadium features. Hint,blank. So,is it okay if I copy one of yours and clear out the names with some new ones for my team?

I'll likely open signups toward the end of the upcoming World Cup but that depends on the new NSCF commissioner's planned timetable for the next season as well. Regardless, signups for the next World Bowl will open sometime before the end of the current NFL season.
