Welcome to the 1st ever Soccer for hope tournament, hosted by Mangolana! This is not just another soccer tournament, it is a non-profit tournament, with all the revenue generated going to the people below poverty levels in unlucky countries.This tournament will also be good for your team, especially for you if you have been eliminated from world cup qualifing and are looking to see how you team stacks up against other great soccer nations, so you can start to prepare your team for the next world cup, or Cup of Harmony, if invited, it can also be a good testing ground to see how your younger teams can do. Signups will be open until Friday, febuary 4th.

It will most likely be a 20 team tournament. If it is there will be four groups of five, with each team playing each other once. At the end of the group stage, the second place team from Group A will face the first place team from Group B, the second place team from Group B will face the First place team from Group A, the second place team from group C will play the first place team from group D, and the second place team from group D will play the First Place team from Group C. The two winners will move on to face each other in the finals while the losers will play each other in the third place game. If more than 20 nations sign up, the format will be determined by a vote.
Tiebreakers are as follows: Points will be first, followed by goal differential, H2H result, and H2H goal differential.
After the group stage, most two semifinals will be played, followed by a third-place playoff and a championship game. However, if numbers are sufficient, there might be a quarterfinal as well.
Vephrall's NSFS3 will be used to scorinate, each night at 8-9 PM EST.
RPs will be graded based on respect for opponents' RP permissions, grammar and spelling (won't be ridiculous and nit-picky here), quality and effort. It wouldn't really be fair to define further what quality means, as people RP differently.
