With today's win over Egypt
(872), we're through to the World Championships. Thanks to all of the NT owners, past and present, who trained players good enough to get us this far.
If I'm doing the math right, our fellow Second Chance winners are France, Spain, and Argentina. Not sure who the auto-qualifiers were other than the USA and Brazil. Whatever, we'll find out soon enough...
There will be two pools of six teams, with each team playing a round robin. The top 4 teams will move on. These games start one week today.
Here's the important bit!If you have an NT prospect not yet on the national team, I would appreciate it if you sent me an update with that player's
complete skill set. Please copy and paste the player information from their player page starting with their name and ending with their experience.
If you want to send me that information now, that's fine. If you want to send it to me very soon after Friday's training, that's even better. If you want to send it both times, I can live with that, too.
How do you know if you have an NT prospect? Possibly you sent me a BB-mail in the past and I replied with something like "looks interesting, please keep me updated". Maybe you've never talked to me, but your player has a proficient (or better) skill or two. If in doubt, send me the player's skills, and I'll let you know whether he has a chance.
Finally, if your player is not on the roster now, or next week, or the week after that, etc... that doesn't mean I don't want your player on the team at some point. There is an enthusiasm penalty when removing players from the NT, so I only want to add players when I need them, and when I know I won't be forced to remove them before the season's end.
