Legionas, your application is approved. That brings us to 6 teams out of a required 16, although I'm expecting more people to apply once they get the time and once the Lauchenoiria RP concludes.

I've also set up the league on the leaguesimulator.eu website, and I'm adding teams to it when each new application is approved.

[Legionas]

Cheers!

[Lauchenoiria]

I will apply once the war is over and we have a relatively stable government.

A note - Good Luck to all!

[New Lusitania and the Algarves]

A couple of enquiries:
- What format is the competition ? (I'd suggest the World Cup 16 teams mode)
- RPwise, are we to play in our own nations or have a host nation? (not too important, just wondering).
- what "skills" is the competition to be in (I'd suggest semi-random)
Also, on another note if it's complicated to get to the 16 teams, Unified Legandia, sister nation to New Lusitania, is ready. Won't put it in because it's nicer to have actual nations, than two from the same person.
Anyway, Good Luck to all.

Your team is accepted. In response to your questions:
-Yes, I'll be using World Cup 16 teams mode
-Laeral is hosting. I'll provide details once the IC thread starts.
-Yes, I'll be using semi-random.

I've held off on encouraging puppets so far, for the reason that you've mentioned.

Offense Score (1-9):5

Additional Notes (Optional, no points):
The Dezreik have very little ability with soccer - with the notable exception of the Beran Triplets who, when playing together, form a formidable defensive line. The nation is one of few that is truely gender neutral when it comes to sport, refusing to field teams of single sex if the players have the ability to compete together. The supporters are amazed and proud that their National team has made it to the championship.
Droves of fans from the nation turn up to all games in the championship, even if their team isn't playing. The most common thing they can be heard chanting is "Wooo, go Sports!" and are more than happy to endulge in extravagant eating and drinking sessions pre and post match so long as everyone's invited.
:b2:

[Laeral]

Bonalando, Dezreik, your applications are both approved. Bonalando, you seem to have not used one of your skill points, since you've completed enough of the optional portions of the application to get 15 skill points, but your skill points only add up to 14. Would you like to rectify that?

So you are fielding a team with Girls? Wasn't this a Male Cup? If it works out well I would be down to have (or host) a women's championship. Obviously, Laeral deemed it legal, so can't argue with you from a legality standpoint. I just don't know. Fielding a team with a bunch of guys and a few girls seems wrong, out of place, odd. Especially when you consider that they are playing against mostly (maybe entirely, haven't checked) male teams.

I'm fine with however a national team wants to make their team, especially as I doubt anyone will create an IDU Women's Football Championship. Besides, we all know that if Kerlile was competing, their entire team would be women.

Also, Shuell, your application is approved. We are now at 15 of the 16 teams needed for the Championship.
