Dear RZA managers,

I would like to discuss a friendly cup concept. RZA currently does not propose a national team feature and it is not on pete's agenda. Yet I know several of us would like to have a country event. This is why I come with this idea.

The idea would be to create a Sunday16 teams cup, in normal mode, gathering the best team of each first 16 countries showing up in the ELO ranking. I know the ELO is not perfect, but it is the best tool we have right now.

So the 16 first teams would receive an invitation. If they accept it, they are in. If they deny it, the second team of the country would receive the next invite.

Right now, the cup would gather:

Qualified Teams:
San Diego Blitz - USA 🇺🇸 => Would participate
Baltimore Ravens - Italy 🇮🇹 => Would participate
Salt City Pirates - Germany 🇩🇪 => Would participate
Chelt Nam Bobbers - UK 🇬🇧 => Would participate
Helsinki Gangsters - Finland 🇫🇮 => Declined the invitation
Free Agent Mascots - Hungary 🇭🇺 => Would participate
The Masked Ducks - France 🇫🇷 => Would participate
AS Roma Wolves - Czech Republic 🇨🇿 => Would participate
TigerCats - Canada 🇨🇦 => Would participate
Willemstad Bridges - Nederlands 🇳🇱 => Would participate
Marife-Lacion - Spain 🇪🇸 => Declined the invitation
Istanbul Whitings - Turkey 🇹🇷 => Would participate
Växjö Gladiators AFC - Sweden 🇸🇪
Wolflings - Australia 🇦🇺 => Would participate
Green Mark Packers - Austira 🇦🇹 => Would participate
Dumbarajko Elephants - Serbia 🇷🇸 => Would participate

Qualified Back-up Teams:

Sønderborg 84-pounders - Denmark 🇩🇰
Maykop Dynamos - Russia

Registered Teams: 1/16

Back-up top manager - new countries:
vamosahi - Spain 🇪🇸

Rio Stars - Brazil
Draft Busts United - Micronesia
Trnava Saints - Slovakia
Pitcairn Bounty Mutineers - Pitcairn Islands
Xu Da - Hong Kong
AB Misawa Stars - Japan
Poznan Knights - Poland
Totoras Patriots - Argentina
Lisbon Seacrows - Portugal
Andorran Castellers - Andorra



Back-up list:
DC Washingtonians - USA
Social Distance Runners - Germany => Would participate
BobBoy Magpies - UK
Motol Ducks - Czech Republic
Bracciano Lakers - Italy
Lyon Eagles - France
Basterds - Austria
vamosahi - Spain
Burnaby Bruisers - Canada
Tilburg Torpedos - Nederlands
Devon Warriors - Serbia
Novosibirsk Lions - Russia
Óbudai Egyetem - Hungary
Barossa Bulldogs - Australia



I did group all countries from the UK under one banner and I considered Pete's team as German.

And for example if San Diego decides to do not participate, DC Washingtonians would receive its invite. If the Pirates rejects it, it would be for the Runners and so on. However if Willemstad Bridges rejects it, the invite would go to Maykop Dynamos which ranks higher than the next Dutch team but is the first Russian team.

Ideally the cup would start in the early season 42 after the Collosevm cvp finishes. The ranking would be stopped after the S41 Elite Bowl.

The RZA Team World Cup would take place every 4 seasons.

If neither you nor I meet the requirements to qualify for the cup, can you create it without any of us playing it? If not, I guess I would count your team outside of Germany making you qualified basically at every edition (and I would be OK with that).

Tournament setting summary:
16 teams play in 4 groups, the best 2 teams per group proceed to KO round
Registartion costs per team: 30 credits
Maximum matches per team: 6
Winning team gets bonus: 177 credits
Runnerup gets bonus: 88 credits

So? What do you think?

Lets see where this leads to. I can handle friendly cups without me being part of the tournament, as I did for IECC

Awesome. If people likes it I can manage to contact « qualified managers » for the invite (and eventually before to warn not to start a new cup approaching the event).

And if the motivation is less than expected, it could work on a 8 teams cup.

The idea sounds good. I have been thinking on a similar idea but based on "achievements" during 4 or 5 seasons (e.g. Bowls, Conference, Division titles). The nation thing looks more attractive.

I would play...but I think DC Washingtonians is probably a better team at this point.

What about a 16-team friendly cup...take 4 teams from each of US, Germany, UK and everywhere else. Put one team from each country in the various division and then see which countries can compile the most wins.

I considered it, but it would look too much as a random cup. I really like one team per country. It’s a little bit like basketball in the olympics. The US could probably have 3 teams and get 3 medals. Yet only one plays.

We can also see it as a reward for durable strong performances which is the sense of ELO ranking. That’s also why we would play the cup every 4 seasons, to let the chance for the ranking to change.

There is also the option to deny the invite to let a stronger team play. This could even be discussed on the forum or be subject to a vote from the top managers in the country.

You can have a Friday friendly up front to figure out who qualifies... or a complete Friendly Cup Qualification tournament ;-)

Those are valid options! The Friday tournament would be easier to organized as many are already engaged in friendly cups.

The Friday gives you no option about controlling the thing. People will forget about their duties, or the autoscheduler will screw things.
