You could have Trancaucasia be like the UK, with England, Wales, and Scotland all having their own FAs and national teams. I think in the past we've had it as one, unified national team, but the decision is yours. I'll also add in Ghaselja (Malta) and eliminate the Eastern Empire. What do you all think about paring down the list to 16? The tournament could be run as 4 groups of 4, with 3 teams advancing from each group. Then the teams/groups are again randomized to create 4 groups of 3, with 2 teams advancing (again the last place team is eliminated). The final part of the tournament would be a simple, single-elimination draw of the last 8 teams. IIRC, a few RL World Cups were designed this way. Thoughts? Lastly, we've also got to decide a host. I'll get a thread set up specifically for that here in the next few days. |

I think that system sounds pretty great. It's simple enough that it makes sense to me yet appropriate enough to sensibly determine a natural progression of teams. If we're paring down the teams from 19 to 16, whom would we eliminate? From that list, who is still around often enough/willing to participate in the occasional football-associated RP, aside from those that are NRE's, for example. Also, regarding a host, I'd kind of like to see the Federation host the tournament, a) because it's big enough to have lots of diverse and interesting host cities for each of the matches, b) because I'm still a huge fan of the Federation since my time here as GC, and c) because I wish more stuff happened in Africa :P |

The final list of teams will also depend, in part, on whether NRE decides to keep Transcaucasia a single FA or split among the different nations. Also, RD, I've tinkered with a crest for the new Kingdom of France. Let me know what you think and if there's something particular you'd like me to try just let me know. Kingdom of France and Luxembourg Crest 1 Kingdom of France and Luxembourg Crest 2 Kingdom of France and Luxembourg Crest 3

Though I'd like to split them up given their current political climate, for simplicity and so it will be easier for you to shorten your list (and if its ok), I think I'll claim the Transcaucasian team will be the winner of our own internal tournament to determine which team will go on to fight in the world tournament. Also I'm not opposed to hosting the tournament in the Federation though I'll wait til we make another thread to elaborate lol. |

Actually, quick question in regards to France. Is RD rping France or the Baltic State? I feel like if he's chosen one then the other can be removed. |
