Hello gamers we are here today to discuss RBY World Cup, slated to launch in a little over two weeks

Discussion points:

How many slots, and which tiers
I think this should be 6 starters + 2 substitutes and I think this should be all OU. Lowtiers have really tiny playerbases and nations will have a hard time finding 8 players as is. If you have different opinions, please voice them in this thread.

Will (this nation) get its own team?
If they have enough players, sure! The plan is to allow any nation that can put together a roster of 6+2 to participate as their own team, and then cobble together continental teams as need be.
US teams, likewise, will highly depend on signups. It's easily possible we'll redraw borders to have only 2 or 3 teams instead of 4.
I will open signups on Sunday the 26th, by March 5th I'll announce all the teams based on the signups that we get, and then we'll leave signups open another week for all rosters to finalize, launching on March 12th.

Much as I love lower tiers I agree with all OU for this. Can teams have more subs or is it limited to exactly whatever number is agreed on for sub slots?
 
All OU is probably best yes. Maybe there can be an RBY Ubers since its really similar to OU and people can learn it real quickly(idk how they would without a ladder tho) but i dont really like that meta anyways. All OU it is.

This tour should very clearly be 100% RBY OU.

TBD starters (likely 4-6), substitutes (likely 2-4), and teams based on signups.
