Welcome to the Everything Thread for the 83rd Cup of Harmony. A tournament to reward consistent and high-quality roleplay, we're very much pleased to bring you the next edition of the tournament that, in all likelihood, is more than just another trophy. Perhaps you're looking for revenge, after getting dumped out of qualifying. Perhaps you're looking to stake down a marker, and see how much you've improved after qualifying. But most importantly, we're all here to have fun — and we hope we'll be able to bring you said fun.
You are encouraged to post a new roster in this thread, including whatever details you deem necessary; but do take note that should you accept the invitation and then not post a roster, we will use the roster you have posted in the World Cup 91 Roster Thread. We will link to that instead, so that your opponents have something to refer to.
Please make sure you indicate your RP permissions with your roster. Please read and respect the RP permissions of other users, and contact them if you are uncertain of anything. You are strongly encouraged to at least set the "Choose my goalscorers" RP permission to "Yes".
You may post a style modifier with your roster, which goes from negative 5 (most defensive; scoring less, conceding less) to positive 5 (most offensive; scoring more, conceding more). Each user is allowed a maximum of one style mod change throughout the tournament, and the hosts must be notified separately.
With 56 confirmed participants, we will have an 8*7 group stage format, with 7 nations per group. The top four nations from each group will proceed to the knockout rounds. Within each "rank", nations will be seeded in accordance to their performance in their group. (This means that group winners will be seeded 1-8, group runners-up will be seeded 9-16, etc.) The knockouts will proceed in a single-elimination tournament, with a round of 32 being the first knockout round, and so on.
The tie-breakers used will be Points, Goal Difference, H2H points, H2H goal difference, coinflip (OOC: a scorinated game with RP bonus only, without any rank). Group re-matches will be avoided for seeding to the second round.
Both hosts' cutoff windows will be from 1600-1700 UTC.

No user may RP destructive damage to the infrastructure or people of the host nations (stadium crush, riots, explosions, etc.) No pandemics are to be introduced into either country.
Any user that breaches etiquette by spamming OOC comments, disregarding RP permissions, plagiarises another RP or any online article, or any other form of etiquette, explicit or otherwise, will receive a warning from the hosts. Any user who continues after being warned will have their RP bonus reset to zero.
The host's decision on issues other than those to be resolved by Moderation is final.
