Firstly, I have towed this post to NS Sports, where it belongs. Neither the WA or Nationstates forums have nothing to do with Sports RP rules, and this is the appropriate thread for the discussion

The RL concept of a 'World Cup' is rather universal and not owned by any particular sport, as many of them run a World Cup. This is naturally a common title that adds verisimilitude to NS Sports, making it feel more realistic. What is not allowed, as mentioned in the 'What does not belong' section of the
Guide to Sports Roleplaying is copycat athletes, teams and tournaments, which for ease I will post below. Here, for example, will not run the 2022 FIFA World Cup, instead we have the 88th NationStates World Cup.
Referencing the original title of the
T20 thread that you posted, you were accidentally copying the Nationstates version of the tournament. The different sports tend to have organising bodies, which 'own' the concept of an NS-wide World Cup (or other named tournament) for that sport.

- Tournaments that are not scorinated, or have scores generated through Video Games such as FIFA, Football Manager, Madden, etc. Domestic Leagues can be done in this manner, though.
- Events that are not related to sport.
- Discussion about real life sports events or games. This should go in the General forum.
- Copycat versions of existing tournaments. A number of sports have a dominant competition that you cannot claim to be hosting without being voted in by other users. Some examples are:
- Football/Soccer: The NationStates World Cup, Baptism of Fire and Cup of Harmony
- Football/Soccer: The Under-21 (Di Bradini Cup), Under-18 (Sporting World Cup) and Under-15 World Cups
- American Football: The World Bowl, NationStates College Football
- Baseball: World Baseball Classic
- Ice Hockey: World Cup of Hockey, Cherry Cup
- Formula 1: WGPC, WGP2
- Athletics: The NS Olympic Games
- Lacross: World Lacrosse Championships
- Quidditch: The Quidditch World Cup
- Handball: Handball World Cup

Tournaments are held (usually being voted for) by volunteer players who, for scheduling reasons, usually limit their competitions to a certain number of participants. "Length of time left until sign-ups close" is not a meaningful measurement.

This you will need to elaborate on, because our competitions are split into:
- Hosts, who organise competitions and play in them
- Players, who play in competitions.
