Welcome to the 73rd Cup of Harmony, being hosted by the Equestrian States and Cassadaigua!
Thirty-two teams are making the trip to the Free Republics and Banija for the World Cup finals, but unfortunately, not everyone was able to qualify for the multiverse's grandest tournament. That's where the Cup of Harmony comes in: the cup for the "best of the rest". Another thirty-two teams, selected by the organizing committee from those who failed to qualify for the World Cup, will battle it out for pride. The Cup of Harmony is often a springboard for on-the-rise national teams, which frequently appear here before they take the final step towards qualifying for the World Cup.
Who will emerge victorious in the final at Canterlot's famed Royal Equestria Stadium? Who will be the "best of the rest?" The path starts here.
Teams which have received and accepted invitations to the Cup of Harmony may post their rosters and roleplays here. Groups A-D will play in the Equestrian States and Groups E-H will play in Cassadaigua.
