The first step to your participation is to post a roster. Even if you do not think you will have time to RP, please consider posting a roster as a basic courtesy to everyone else. The roster should contain at minimum:
- Your players. A standard soccer squad is 23 to 26 players, including three goalkeepers.
- A style modifier, from -5 to +5. This dictates how attacking your team is (-5 being most defensive, +5 most attacking). It will influence goals per game but not affect the overall outcome or margin of victory. You may change this modifier once during the group stage, and once again during the playoffs, by sending a TG to the host at least 1 hour prior to cutoff.
- RP permissions. See the guide to sports roleplaying if you’re new to sports roleplaying. You may customize your permissions as you wish, but a suggested version is included here which you can copy and paste into your roster.
- Code: Select all

Please read and respect other users’ RP permissions, and contact them directly if you are not certain. In addition to individual users’ RP permissions, the following tournament-wide permissions apply to all participants:
- No pandemic, COVID or otherwise, may be introduced to the host nation or spread to any other teams.
- No destructive violence towards the host nation's people or infrastructure.
In addition to the above, you may include other relevant information in your roster such as details about your players or coaching staff, uniforms, team history, tactics guide, favorite ice cream, etc.
Once you have posted your roster, you may begin roleplaying. These roleplays may take any form, such as newspaper articles, narratives, or images. Audio/visual roleplays must provide a transcript. Please keep images to a reasonable size.
The format of the tournament will involve all teams being drawn into 6 groups of 4 teams, and playing a single round robin (playing every other team in that group once) at arenas in Schutzenphalia and West Ruhntuhnkuhnland. The top two teams from each group, plus the four best placed third-placed finishers, will progress to the Round of 16 playoffs, which will be single elimination. Games in the group round may be drawn; games in the playoff round that are tied after 90 minutes will be decided on penalties only with no extra time played.
