Thanks to you, the field of 16 for Rock Town Hall’s World Cup of Rock ‘n Roll<\/strong> has been set! Because this is our inaugural World Cup of Rock ‘n Roll, for this year only<\/em> we will allow each competing nation to submit up to three artists, past or present. The rationale for keeping this year’s competition open to all-time contributors is to set the baseline for all future World Cup tournaments and enable up-and-coming rock rock nations the chance to overthrow more-established favorites in coming matches. <\/p>\n

The groupings and our next steps toward opening ceremonies follow the jump!<\/em>
\n
\nGroup A<\/strong>
\nUSA (Coach: 2000 man)
\nNetherlands
\nAustralia (Coach: cdm [unless mikeydread claims his home team])
\nBrazil (Coach: BigSteve)<\/p>\n

Group B<\/strong>
\nEngland (Coach: Mr. Moderator)
\nWales (Coach: plasticsun)
\nNigeria (Coach: sir telewacker)
\nGermany<\/p>\n

Group C<\/strong>
\nIreland (Coach: hrrundivbakshi)
\nJamaica (Coach: bostonhistorian)
\nNew Zealand (Coach: k.)
\nNorway<\/p>\n

Group D<\/strong>
\nCanada (Coach: northvancoveman)
\nScotland (Coach: ladymisskirroyale)
\nFrance (Coach: cliff sovinsanity)
\nSweden (Coach: mockcarr)<\/p>\n

Before we get into the scoring system and all that jazz, we must first determine the coaches of each nation. At this time I ask that you submit your applications<\/strong> to serve as coach<\/strong> of the squad of your choice. To do so, you must simply be the first Townsperson to proclaim (in the Comments) something to the effect of, I would like to coach [nation X].<\/em><\/p>\n

As coach of that squad, you will then need to, with your assistant coaches (ie, whichever Townspeople whose opinions you most value in the ensuing discussion), determine the artists<\/strong> (up to 3) who will represent your club. <\/p>\n

In short, please use this thread to claim one of the 16 participating nations. Then, when you are confident of the roster you would like to take into this competition, state your roster.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow or so, after we determine that much, I can walk you through the rules for play so that we may launch the opening ceremonies before getting this historic competition underway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
