Information
Welcome back all, its almost that time again. Planning for this years Western Isles Cup has begun ! We have big plans in store this year to bring fellow nations in the Isles a FIFA-like, authentic national soccer experience, but with a TWI bend.
This OOC thread is for any questions, host bids, comments, concerns, and to foster an environment for intra nation collaboration and assistance in factbook building, the tournament itself, logistics, etc.
What's New ?
- I am trying to cooperate with other nations to establish an international soccer federation that runs these things, like FIFA. These will be comprised of regional federations/associations (i.e - Gaeltic Football Assn.) that shall form the governing body and structure of the Isles Federation of Association Football.
- Scoring will be switched from xKoranate to leaguesimulator.eu Special Thanks to Michigonia
- Furthermore, we are planning for this rendition of the Isles Cup to include a few more teams than last year (24 in 2017) that make it to the cup based on performance in regional qualifier tournaments, rather than open invite like last year to attempt to give a more authentic, meaningful feel.
- If you are interested in hosting, heading your sub-region (i.e-Gael, South Mesder, Central Argus, etc.) please let it be known below.
- Will be developing some detailed factbooks on the IFAF, etc. soon. I implore interested parties to shoot me their ideas and suggestions.
- Other stuff is in works behind the scenes. Stay Tuned!
