Nice try Eddie.

Can we do 2 groups of 4 and 2 groups of 5 since groups of 3 feels a bit pointless. Poor Portugal, for example, who got a team together for the first time, will only play 2 games before getting knocked out probably. At least if they were in a bigger group they would play some games.

3 vs 3 sounds fun, there haven't been many in the past.

MrGallagher took down his NWEC 2012 YouTube vids unfortunately I think. They may be out there floating on YouTube's cloud still, but I haven't been able to access them from his YouTube playlists.
In other news: GB has added it's last two players to the team, Eddie and Mopin. We found out they should be able to play since the tournament start date was moved forwards. We have a good mix of old and new this year and look forward to a good competition. Bobertini has been moved to our (unofficial) managerial role, which freed up the extra spot for Mopin. Players who made it to the finals in the trials but who did not make the final team will be used as back-ups if it turns out we are allowed to replace players during the tournament. Final team:
Co-Captain: Herishey

Roster:

Back in NWEC 2014 we had some very specific rules that resolved and avoided nation/coalition drama like this. Most of it was never publically released but I'm going to release it here so that people can see how we did it and why it might be useful for this tournament.
Nation Eligibility Rules:
1. Persons who hold citizenship in the country are eligible to play for the nation.
2. Persons who hold permanent residency in the country are eligible to play for the nation.
3. Persons who have significant ancestry, e.g. a parent who originates from the country in question, and who also speak the official language(s) fluently, are eligible to play for the nation.
4. Persons who are within the same Region, as defined by NWEC, are eligible to play for the nation provided the Region Rules are not violated:
Region Rules:
Regions are defined by areas of common colour: https://db.tt/xrCwRMoq
1. Nation A can recruit players from Nation B only if both nations are in the same region.
2. Nation A can only recruit these players if Nation B cannot form a team.
3. Nation A can only recruit Nation B's players if more than 50% of the team remains from Nation A.
(On top of that exceptions were made for the nations of ex-Czechoslovakia and ex-Yugoslavia to make common teams make teams provided the nations involved could not make teams of their own.)
--
These rules more or less cover every possible conflict over nation eligibility to a reasonable degree in my opinion. They enable, for example: an ethnic Russian living in Ukraine to play for Russia, an Italian-speaking Swiss to play for Italy, a 2nd-generation Turk living in Germany to play for Turkey, a player from Monaco to play for France since Monaco will probably never have enough for a team, the ex-Yugoslavs to form a team if none of their nations have enough to make individual teams.
To give some examples of what was achieved with this rule-set which allowed more people to take part without breaking the whole notion of a 'national' competition:
Archer - He's from either Latvia or Estonia (can't remember which) but was allowed to play for Finland via the Region rules since Latvia/Estonia could not make a team
Berkovic - 2nd generation Turk living in Belgium: has Turkish parents and speaks fluent Turkish, allowed to play for Turkey
Bulgarian_Soldier - Bulgarian allowed to play for ex-Yugo provided 50% plus of ex-Yugo team remained ex-Yugo
Kore and Smyky allowed to play together in ex-Czechoslovakia team when one is Czech and the other is Slovak
I think adopting these rules would solve a lot of the problems we're having at the moment.

Ev 'n Eddie, an old partnership rekindled.
Good game though 77y, some close rounds. Lag was terrible nevertheless.

Just let the ethnic Russians living in Ukraine/Belarus/wherever play for Russia, it's how it always was in previous tourneys and it seems to be the best conflict resolution without actually messing up the national premise for these tournaments. It's the same principle as letting a French guy living in Belgium to play for France or a German living in Austria to play for Germany. We don't need to bring out all the dirty slavic laundry to solve this.
