The Global Cup of Soccer is a new tournament sponsored by the O'Reilly Organization which seeks to determine the greatest soccer team in the NS multiverse. In the interest of ensuring that our champion is the "undisputed" champion of the multiverse, all nations that attempt to qualify for World Cup 76 are prohibited from entering the Global Cup of Soccer. However, puppets of those nations and sub-national entities within those nations are not only permitted to enter, but are encouraged to do so. In an OOC sense, the Global Cup of Soccer is a tournament for those who missed World Cup signups and/or those that were unable to sign up for the World Cup due to puppet restrictions. It is a spiritual successor to the old Cuppet tournaments. To sign up, all you have to do is declare your intention to participate. Sub-national entities may use the larger nation's account or a separate nation. There is a limit of 3 nations or sub-national entities per OOC user. The Global Cup of Soccer is not affiliated with the WCC, will use its own set of rankings that disregard KPB rankings and will never count toward the KPB rankings, so entering the Global Cup of Soccer will not improve your nation's chances should you enter future WCC-affiliated tournaments (except in the limited sense of any improvement as an RPer that you may or may not see from participating in it). Anybody may bid to host by posting a host bid in this thread with the requisite OOC details.
