Greetings to footballing countries throughout the multiverse!
The Incorporated Football Federation cordially invites your nation to participate in the grand tradition of the Mike Sarzo Memorial Trophy, a tournament intended to fund cancer research throughout the multiverse. The tournament was initially brainstormed by then-Atlantian Oceania regionmates Starblaydia and Krytenia, whom the IFF consider among the founding countries of this tournament. It is named in honour of the late founding President of the Incorporated States, Mike Sarzo, who died from a particularly aggressive form of testicular cancer on 1 December 2006. The MSMT will be a knockout round tournament where each match must have a winner and will award the Mike Sarzo Memorial Trophy.
[OOC information:
Atlantian Oceania/Anaia: As of right now, Sarzonia retains sanctions against all nations from Anaia; therefore, ICly, your country is required to submit a request to the External Affairs Department for your teams, support staffs and supporters to travel to Sarzonia. In order to move things along OOCly, I will assume that your country has already submitted the request and External Affairs has already approved it. If you'd prefer to turn this into a roleplay angle, please TG me and we can work something out.
Puppet policy: Unlike other tournaments, I will ask that you NOT submit puppets to this tournament unless 1) your puppet has a relationship with Sarzonia and your main does not or 2) I OOCly open the door to allow ONE puppet per main nation. In an instance where I permit a puppet to enter the competition, the puppet must be announced as a puppet by both the main nation and the puppet with confirmation by each pursuant to standard NS Sport practice.
Scorination will be done using the Vilita mobile/online scorinator. For the purposes of this tournament, please include your KPB rank and style modifier in your sign-ups. If I notify you that your chosen style modifier is unavailable, please choose an alternate. If you do not choose an alternate, I'll pick the next closest one when I scorinate your match(es). If you do not provide a style modifier, I will use zero as your style modifier.]
