The Dancougar Black Wings have won it three times. Arroza, Rennidan, and Qazox have also experienced the glory. Newmanistan has been to two finals and Kura-Pelland is a perennial power. A handful of other nations sit right beneath them, like a Taeshan or a Secristan.
The powers of the World in gridiron (American Football) are known, and others have taken their shots. We have heard that there are aspiring nations out there, willing to show the world that they can also be a dominant nation in this brand of football.
It’s time for another get-together. There’s no reason to wait, let’s get this going. It’s World Bowl 7. If you wish to participate, this is where you sign up.
If you wish to host: Please submit a hosting bid, World Cup-style, on this thread by Friday, June 5th (noon Eastern USA time). If there are multiple bids, then all members of the World Bowl Committee (Which are previous participants in any World Bowl), will vote on the bid. If there is one bid, it will be automatically accepted UNLESS there is a general consensus among the WBC members that the bid is insufficient, and in which case a vote will held to accept or re-open bids.
The chosen host at that point will then “take things over”, deciding when to close signups and when to start the competition.
Note: In World Bowl 5, due to a high number of new participants, we held a “Baptism of Iron”, so that new users could differentiate themselves a little bit from their peers. This wasn’t needed in World Bowl 6, and whether or not it is to be included in World Bowl 7 will be something I let the chosen host decide.
Note 2: We generally refer to our brand of football as “gridiron”, or in some cases “gridball”, simply to avoid confusion between football and soccer. You’re more then welcome to call it football, though. Please, no commentaries over which sport you like better, this is not the place.

I have decided that Holy Marsh and Bettia will not be eligible for the Baptism of Iron as they have participated before, although if people wanted to debate this. There is precedent as Fujisawan Territories was in the same situation and was not entered in the first Baptism of Iron.
