| I'm planning on hosting an invitational association football tournament. I've been wanting to do this for a couple of years when I was playing as Pacifica. I want to use this as a debut for Port Hawthorne's first international squad leading up to the next AOCAF Cup. Not quite sure if this could be used to increase your standings, something to be discussed I suppose. Thoughts? |

| ok i was looking forward to another tournament because i wasnt in the latest AOCAF so shure why not |

| I will send a team - won't be the A squad but it will be a good one |

| Sweet! Thanks guys, I'll be using scorinator xkoranate. If anyone can recommend and, or send me a better one. I'd appreciate that too. Depending about how many people we have I may allow two international spots outside the region but we'll see. |

| Wouldn't support it being a rankings booster, if only because it leaves the door open for people hosting tourneys just to try and improve their ranks. Probably not a big enough of a deal for it to happen too often, but slippery slope and all that. As for personal participation, depends on your planned RL timeframe. |

| I'm pretty sure it wouldn't improve nor relegate your co-efficient in the AOCAF. Maybe for the Second Annual Invitational. At the moment this is just an interest thread. I'm hoping for at least for eight including myself. |

Well since you said this:
I figured I'd put in my two cents.  |

| No worries, bro |

| We shall attend |

| So far we have: - Savski Venac - Pacitalia - Andossa Se Mitrin Vega - Naitpyge - Melatia - Port Hawthorne (host nation) as interested parties so far. I'm going going to hold off closing signups until the fourteenth. I'm hoping for at least two more. If not, the six of us will go on ahead. |

| I'm definitely interested in taking part - put me on the probably register. An indication of timeframe would be useful. |

| Wight: I really hope to start by this Wednesday. |

Ah ok. You can put me in if you need the numbers then, but between RL and NSWC I'm fairly busy this week and I expect my RP contribution would be fairly low. |

| I'm in if this is still open. |
| Posted by: Port Hawthorne Aug 24 2012, 02:52 AM |
| Well we have eight teams then. I'll probably get us started this weekend. Should we do them here or on the NS Sport Forums? |
| Posted by: Wight Aug 26 2012, 01:37 PM | ||
NS I imagine. |
| Posted by: Israeli Apartheid Client-State Aug 30 2012, 01:17 PM |
| NS. I usually don't remember to check this forum except for every couple of days. |
| Posted by: Port Hawthorne Aug 30 2012, 11:51 PM |
| Sorry everyone for the delay, I've been busy with my new job. I'll try and get it started by at least next Friday. Sorry for the inconvenience. |

| No worries. RL always comes first |

| Just letting you know the OOC thread is live, please post your starting XI here: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=198287. Does anyone know who I can get in touch with to design me a kit? Man that was so funny! :D. |
| Posted by: Israeli Apartheid Client-State Sep 13 2012, 12:37 PM |
| There is a free program available called Smart Shirt Designer 2. I recommend selecting the blank option for kit maker logo (nike adidas etc) so as not to break NS "reality". |

| Do you know where I can download it? Tried to download it at a few places but wasn't able to! |
