Hello,

I did say in the other World Cup 50 post that I would appreciate emails for coutry preferences. While that's true, I really should leave the option for people to post here (we might even see some duplicate preferences which could lead to some early competitive banter). There are four options for team preferences (per the World Cup Rules):

■ A. No preference; random selection will happen after all preferences have been assigned.

■ B. Yes, I want a specific country; no preference after that.

○ If you answer B, please list that country in your response.

○ If a manager wants only one nation, but loses a coin toss (if necessary) to another team, the manager will receive a random nation once all other preferences have been filled.

■ C. I have national preferences and a specific order.

○ If you answer C, please list your top five nations in order of preference. For example:

○ (1) Sweden (2) USA (3) Portugal (4) Brazil (5) Poland

■ D. I have national preferences but no specific order

○ If you answer D, please list your five nations. For example:

○ Brazil, Portugal, Poland, USA and Sweden

● The group draw will be held live over Zoom or Google Meet. The draw will be random; no seeding will take place.

In summary, if you want to join the World Cup after season 50 concludes, please let me know in this post or by email at [email protected].

Thank you.
