Host Vote Results
Mriin - 5
Cosumar - 4

Therefore Mriin has been awarded the rights of this tournament and it is now handed over to them.

[Competitive Solitaire]

In!

[Mriin]

edit: Just noticed Competitive Solitaire isn't in AO at the moment, so that's a nulled signup.

Thanks muchly to the voters! Here's the plan as I sees it:

Signups cutoff/Group Draw: We're currently sitting at 26, up to Competitive Solitaire Northwest Kalactin and not including Lochario. The cutoff will happen at one of two points, whichever comes first:
a) We hit 32 proper signups, at which point things will be cutoff and I'll work to get the group draw up ASAP.
b) We hit ~9pm EST on Tuesday the 20th. The waitlist will be leveraged to get us to one of 28, 30, or 32, signups will cut off, and the group draw will go up.

Everything thread: Tomorrow, for your early-bird roster needs and a full schedule.

First scorination: Big ol' gap here, to make room for American Thanksgiving. MD1 will be on Saturday the 24th, at the cutoff time of ~9pm EST.

[Xuois]

Salut. On s'appelle Xuois, et on voudrait disputer le cinquante-septième Championnat de la Confédération du Football Association d'Océanie Atlantique. Bonjour, tous le monde, et bonne merde.

[Eshan]

not sure what this but Eshan is into play

[Mriin]

Thread ahoy.

[Mriin]

And with that radio silence, signups are cutoff. Including Lochario bumps us up to a clean 28 and we'll get going. Group Draw will be up in the everything thread OP by the end of the hour, and the host info post should follow shortly.

[Mriin]

Hey all, quick host announcement: After some discussion on Discord, Novo Calania will be considered transferred from my ownership to Krytenia's for this tournament (and it'll be some joint thing going forward, we'll figure that out), as there's IC justification for it and getting a storied AOCAF user in on the action is more valuable than me having an extra nation. Because of the conflict of interest, I'll also be seeking third party scorination for any applicable Novo Calanian matches.
