Copa Rushmori XXV
Río Oscuro
Ladies, gentlemen, and other sentient beings from Rushmore and the rest of the multiverse, the Confederación Rushmori de Fútbol (CRF) and the Federación Oscureña de Fútbol (FOF) would like to welcome you all to the twenty-fifth edition of Rushmore's premier football tournament, the Copa Rushmori, featuring twenty-four nations from all over the region who will be battling it out for regional supremacy in this Terranean country.
The competition's 24 entrants will be split into 6 groups of 4, with each team playing the others in its group once. The top 2 teams in each group plus the 4 best third-placed teams will advance to the round of 16, where we will begin the competition's knockout rounds. The first cutoff of this Copa Rushmori edition is set to be held on Tuesday, August 9th at around 02:00 UTC (Monday 22:00 EST), and will be scorinated every other day thereon.
That said, let the games begin and may the best team win!
