The Tournament
The tournament, as always, will be played in a Round Robin style, with all the teams playing each other twice. The top two teams from that will get a bye through to the Semi-Finals, while the other four teams will enter the first elimination round in a (3) vs (6), (4) vs (5) match-up.
The Rewards
The only reward that counts are the long-lasting friendships you'll make with your fellow country-men and I dare say even your opposition. However, if you are materialistic, here's what you'll be going for:
Gold Medal
Silver Medal
Bronze Medal
MVP
Top Forward
Top Defenseman
Top Goalie
Breakout Star
Finally, feel free to increase the hype by doing a 6-TPE Point Task during the World Cup to earn 3 Uncapped TPE! Just link this post along with your PT in your update thread!
-----------------------
That's all for now,VHLians. Use this thread to start initial World Cup discussions and pose any questions you have. If a GM has created a Team Discussion thread, be sure to post in there and start trash-talking other teams. Streetlight and I will be sure to keep open lines of communication with you throughout the tournament!
