Glad you are back in competitions! Are you OK to represent Portugal?

The question is.... Am I OK with it?

Is there an entry deadline and/or proposed start date?

Forgot to answer to this.
The plan is to set entry deadline to 19.11 (2 weeks overall). Accordingly, we could start at 20.11-21.11.

OK, that sounds good. I'll be back home from South Africa on the 28th, but I might be able to play some games while I'm here too.

@Rosco
Specially glad to see you on board, brother  Arrow!

Thank you, MrNumbers.  We, Belgians aren't quite great in any World Cup but hereby, I'll try to change that statistic.  And so will Piet_Agoras.

Oh you guys!

I will represent Mozambique if no one objects, since I recently visited there. This allows me to stay in the (former) Portuguese empire but not offend my colonial master / postman Chooselife.

World Cup without Germany? No way. So count me in

C'mon people, a world cup with only 12 participants?!  Even in the first World Cup football in 1930 they managed to get 13 participants...    We can do better!

[Sinscerly]

Well, I don't know if I have enough time, otherwise I would love to represent The Netherlands

I too hope that more people will join in, but without wishing anyone to join who might not be able to play all of their games in good time of course...

And it appears that I'm the only one on this side of the Atlantic.

Another random question: how will you populate the initial groups without up-to-date Elo ratings for each player? We need... Jere!
