This is the thread to sign up for World Cup captaincy. This is going up prior to player sign-ups so that hosts can have some idea of what teams will be competing this year. If you want to lead a team this year you must post here.

Expected returning teams are as follows:

Hide

Canada
Europe
France
Germany
India
Italy
Latin America
Oceania
Spain
US Midwest
US Northeast
US South
US West

All of the above teams have qualified based on their WCoP 2022 performance. Team Brazil, Team Greece and Team Asia are up for relegation (see the format here), and if all of the above teams return, they must play a qualifier to be included in this year's WCoP. Any teams who did not participate in Round 1 of WCoP 2022 must also participate in a qualifier if they wish to enter this year.

Please note that we will not be accepting alternative versions of teams (such as Spain #2) or expanded/multi-country teams (such as Spain + Portugal or Benelux). Additionally, the only United States teams that will be allowed are the ones mentioned above.

Also, please only post here if you are applying for captaincy. Like the SPL thread, this will be moderated and memes/nonsense will be deleted and possibly infracted. If you have any legitimate questions or concerns then feel free to PM us and we will address them.

Deadline for captains of Qualifying teams is Sunday, April 23rd, 8PM GMT+0.
They must also PM me on Smogon or Discord with a preliminary / approximate roster, so that we can verify they will be able to field enough players.

Deadline for captains of returning Main Event teams is Sunday, May 21st, 8PM GMT+0.​
