Welcome to the 22nd edition of the World Bowl, hosted by The Kingdom of Saintland and the Federation of Free Republics. This thread is for the posting of your rosters and RPs. Please refrain from posting anything in this thread that is neither roster nor an RP. While including OOC notes in your RPs is fine, posts that are purely OOC belong in the World Bowl Discussion Thread. Additional information will be found in the next few posts.

All-World Bowl Team
Sporting World magazine will be naming an All-World Bowl team, consisting of the best-RPed players from the tournament. The team will consist of 25 players (a QB, RB, 2 WRs, TE, RB/WR/TE, 5 OL, 3 DL, 3 LB, DL/LB, 4 DB, K, P and KR/PR), with no limit on the number of players chosen per nation. "Ironman" players (those that play on both offense and defense, as well as kickers that also play other positions) may be considered for multiple positions, but will be held to a correspondingly higher standard. There will be no additional RP bonuses other than what the posts would normally obtain because the idea here is to provide an interesting RP opportunity.
