Teams:
Eligibility Requirements stolen from the WCOP of 2019
Eligibility requirements are listed below. If you have any specific questions about eligibility, please contact the hosts.
Players who participated in WCOP 2020
If a player participated in WCOP 2020, they will be locked onto their team from the previous year, barring the following exceptions:
Players that are not locked on a team and are not eligible for grandfathering (new players or players whose previous teams no longer exist) may only play for the regions associated with their forum IPs. Tournament directors will not consider any other means of identification for regional eligibility. Please do not submit real-world identifying documents such as passports or birth certificates.
If a player has IPs to prove that they spend extended periods of time in multiple regions within the past 12 months (e.g. students who attend university in one region and live in another), they can apply to join the team associated with either region. TDs will review this on a case-by-case basis. Eligibility for the rejected team will be forfeited.
Players with significant periods of provable residency prior to the past 12 months may apply to join the team associated with their old IPs. The TD team will consider these applications on a case-by-case basis, but as a general rule, the minimum amount of time we will consider is one year of residency in the old region. As referenced above, you MUST be able to verify said residency via forum IPs; if your IPs do not reflect this prior residency, your application will not be accepted. Eligibility for the rejected team will be forfeited.
"Cultural eligibility" rules were removed in earlier editions of WCOP, and have not been reinstated.
As a reminder, hosts and TDs reserve the right to reject any player they deem to be insufficiently eligible. An example of this would be a player whose IP drastically changes shortly before the start of the tournament.
Format of tour: There will be round robin pools of 4 players, where each player plays the other 3 players of their pool in a bo5 of the specified gen. The teams who get the most bo5 wins of these pools will go into a 4 team playoffs where the #1 seed plays the #4 seed and the winner of that plays the winner of the #2 and #3 seed.

Please format your signup in the following fashion:
NOTE: The "Requested Captain" field is a newly added section that allows players to show their support for who they'd prefer to act as Captains for their region out of the given signups from the Captain Signups thread. To be clear, please only list the Captain candidates you support for specifically the regions you would be qualifying for, not for all 8 teams. If you're unsure of who to support/don't know any of them very well, you are not required to put an answer.
Deadline: July 4th 11:59 PM GMT-4 (EDT)

Players who participated in WCOP 2020
If a player participated in WCOP 2020, they will be locked onto their team from the previous year, barring the following exceptions:
- If the team they most recently played for no longer exists, they will be treated as a player eligible for a new team (see below).
- If a player's region has changed since last WCOP, they may choose to instead play for the region currently associated with their forum IPs. This is a one-time choice; doing so forfeits their previous eligibility. They will not be able to be grandfathered back onto their previous team in the future, and even if they return to their old region in the future, this eligibility will remain forfeited.
Players that are not locked on a team and are not eligible for grandfathering (new players or players whose previous teams no longer exist) may only play for the regions associated with their forum IPs. Tournament directors will not consider any other means of identification for regional eligibility. Please do not submit real-world identifying documents such as passports or birth certificates.
