Someone, I don't know who, logged into the NSWC Signups account and gave out 1093 at a time to a bunch of recent (and less recent, evidently) champs. Much appreciated, whoever you are. :)

My best guess is that it'll be June sometime. This one has a long ways to go, and then it generally takes about three weeks afterwards before the next BoF. Also, the next one is the 60th world cup so I foresee a lot more planning.

As those above said, some time yet. But don't despair, in the meantime there will be other minor tournaments to take part in, like the di Bradini Cup which is the World Under-21s, and the World Indoor Soccer Championships among others. I joined NS at a similar stage to you - just after the beginning of a World Cup cycle. But I got five small tournaments under my belt while I was waiting (and won one of them!).

Last two means the last two completed cycles, I believe. That means that you will be eligible to vote once Cup of Harmony 51 ends. Unless there's an administrative/constitutional vote that I don't know about, the first thing you should be able to vote on will be World Cup 60 host voting.

Thought so. I guess it's the fact that the rankings update between the qualifiers and the CoH/WC proper that tripped me up a bit.
