'''World Cup 98''' was an international football tournament held in [[Tikariot]], [[The Kytler Peninsulae]], [[Qusmo]], and [[Yuezhou]] (collectively billed as ''Xandrian Sea'' after the body of water that these nations surround).

The tournament represented several breaks from previous [[World Cup]] convention:
* It was the first World Cup to feature four credited host nations, and also the first to feature more than two ''predetermined'' host nations.
** [[World Cup 22]] replaced one withdrawing co-host with both members of the second-place bid for that cycle.
* Of the four in-character hosts, only three were also out-of-character hosts that automatically qualified; Yuezhou were an in-character host only and had to go through qualification as usual.
** This also applied to the various nations that hosted matches in [[World Cup 75]], but they were not credited as co-hosts in any form besides the tournament logo.
* The knockout bracket used a process referred to as ''Qusma seeding'' whereby paths through the knockout stage were set by group stage record with modifications to keep teams from the same group apart in the bracket for as long as is mathematically possible.
* The [[roleplay bonus]] was calculated as a weighted average and multiplied by a fixed constant ([[1093|10.93]]) throughout the tournament, rather than being applied on a cumulative basis as had become convention.

Additionally, this was the first World Cup to use the updated rankings formula (the name of which was announced during qualification as ''KPB+'') in lieu of the long-standing [[KPB ranking system]], which had been used (with some minor changes) for the preceding 86 World Cups.

[[Flavovespia]] won their first World Cup title, defeating [[Crpostran]] 1-0 in the final in [[TIkariot City]], [[Tikariot]]. All four semi-finalists were making their first appearance at that stage of the tournament, with two of them (Crpostran and [[Edsmontik]]) doing so within three cycles of their [[Baptism of Fire]] debut.

==Qualification==
{{Main article|World Cup 98 qualification}}
144 teams entered the qualification process; as mentioned above, Yuezhou were amongst them despite being an in-character host nation, leaving three automatically qualified hosts and hence 45 qualifying berths available for the 48-team tournament.

==Group stage==
===Draw===
Teams were allocated to four pots on the basis of the 98.2 [[KPB+ ranking system|KPB+ Rankings]]. The three automatically-qualified hosts were all placed into Pot 1 and assigned into scheduling position 1 of Groups A-C for IC purposes; Yuezhou were a Pot 1 team on merit, and assigned into scheduling position 1 of Group D. The remaining 44 teams were drawn randomly from their pot into both a group and a scheduling position for the purposes of determining the match schedules in each group; the computerised draw procedure used at this tournament incorporated both of these steps at once by way of assigning each group a code containing each of the digits 1-4 inclusive in a randomised order, with digit ''n'' in this code being the scheduling position of the team in Pot ''n''. (Groups A-D had this process adapted such that the first digit, representing the Pot 1 hosts in these groups, was always a 1.)

'''World Cup 98''' was an international football tournament held in [[Tikariot]], [[The Kytler Peninsulae]], [[Qusmo]], and [[Yuezhou]] (collectively billed as ''Xandrian Sea'' after the body of water that these nations surround).

The tournament represented several breaks from previous [[World Cup]] convention:
* It was the first World Cup to feature four credited host nations, and also the first to feature more than two ''predetermined'' host nations.
** [[World Cup 22]] replaced one withdrawing co-host with both members of the second-place bid for that cycle.
* Of the four in-character hosts, only three were also out-of-character hosts that automatically qualified; Yuezhou were an in-character host only and had to go through qualification as usual.
** This also applied to the various nations that hosted matches in [[World Cup 75]], but they were not credited as co-hosts in any form besides the tournament logo.
* The knockout bracket used a process referred to as ''Qusma seeding'' whereby paths through the knockout stage were set by group stage record with modifications to keep teams from the same group apart in the bracket for as long as is mathematically possible.
* The [[roleplay bonus]] was calculated as a weighted average and multiplied by a fixed constant ([[1093|10.93]]) throughout the tournament, rather than being applied on a cumulative basis as had become convention.

Additionally, this was the first World Cup to use the updated rankings formula (the name of which was announced during qualification as ''KPB+'') in lieu of the long-standing [[KPB ranking system]], which had been used (with some minor changes) for the preceding 86 World Cups.

==Qualification==
{{Main article|World Cup 98 qualification}}
144 teams entered the qualification process; as mentioned above, Yuezhou were amongst them despite being an in-character host nation, leaving three automatically qualified hosts and hence 45 qualifying berths available for the 48-team tournament.

==Group stage==
===Draw===
Teams were allocated to four pots on the basis of the 98.2 [[KPB+ ranking system|KPB+ Rankings]]. The three automatically-qualified hosts were all placed into Pot 1 and assigned into scheduling position 1 of Groups A-C for IC purposes; Yuezhou were a Pot 1 team on merit, and assigned into scheduling position 1 of Group D. The remaining 44 teams were drawn randomly from their pot into both a group and a scheduling position for the purposes of determining the match schedules in each group; the computerised draw procedure used at this tournament incorporated both of these steps at once by way of assigning each group a code containing each of the digits 1-4 inclusive in a randomised order, with digit ''n'' in this code being the scheduling position of the team in Pot ''n''. (Groups A-D had this process adapted such that the first digit, representing the Pot 1 hosts in these groups, was always a 1.)

'''World Cup 98''' is an ongoing international football tournament held in [[Tikariot]], [[The Kytler Peninsulae]], [[Qusmo]], and [[Yuezhou]] (collectively billed as ''Xandrian Sea'' after the body of water that these nations surround).

The tournament represents several breaks from previous [[World Cup]] convention:
* It is the first World Cup to feature four host nations, and also the first to feature more than two ''predetermined'' host nations ([[World Cup 22]], the only other World Cup with more than two hosts, replaced one withdrawing co-host with both members of the second-place bid for that cycle).
* Of the four in-character hosts, only three were also out-of-character hosts that automatically qualified; Yuezhou were an in-character host only and had to go through qualification as usual.
* The knockout bracket is to use a process referred to as ''Qusma seeding'' whereby paths through the knockout stage are set by group stage record with modifications to keep teams from the same group apart in the bracket for as long as is mathematically possible.
* The [[roleplay bonus]] was calculated as a weighted average and multiplied by a fixed constant ([[1093|10.93]]) throughout the tournament, rather than being applied on a cumulative basis as had become convention.

Additionally, this was the first World Cup to use the updated rankings formula (the name of which was announced during qualification as ''KPB+'') in lieu of the long-standing [[KPB ranking system]], which had been used (with some minor changes) for the preceding 86 World Cups.

==Qualification==
{{Main article|World Cup 98 qualification}}
144 teams entered the qualification process; as mentioned above, Yuezhou were amongst them despite being an in-character host nation, leaving three automatically qualified hosts and hence 45 qualifying berths available for the 48-team tournament.

==Group stage==
===Draw===
Teams were allocated to four pots on the basis of the 98.2 [[KPB+ ranking system|KPB+ Rankings]]. The three automatically-qualified hosts were all placed into Pot 1 and assigned into scheduling position 1 of Groups A-C for IC purposes; Yuezhou were a Pot 1 team on merit, and assigned into scheduling position 1 of Group D. The remaining 44 teams were drawn randomly from their pot into both a group and a scheduling position for the purposes of determining the match schedules in each group; the computerised draw procedure used at this tournament incorporated both of these steps at once by way of assigning each group a code containing each of the digits 1-4 inclusive in a randomised order, with digit ''n'' in this code being the scheduling position of the team in Pot ''n''. (Groups A-D had this process adapted such that the first digit, representing the Pot 1 hosts in these groups, was always a 1.)

The '''NationStates World Cup''' is the multiverse's longest-running recurring sporting event, dating back to the first half of 2003. Nations from around the NS world at all sorts of different technology levels play football (also known as 'soccer' or 'Association football') for the ultimate glory of becoming World Champions. The competition is governed and organized by the World Cup Committee (WCC), which is formed by the participating football associations.

Each World Cup cycle consists of three related tournaments: the World Cup itself, the [[Baptism of Fire]] held prior to the beginning of World Cup qualification for first-time entrants, and the [[Cup of Harmony]] to which nations not qualifying for the World Cup finals may enter by invitation. Matches in these WCC-sanctioned tournaments count towards a nation's world ranking (historically their [[KPB ranking system|KPB ranking]]).

==Procedure==
===Qualifying===
Each World Cup since [[World Cup 3]] has begun with a qualifying stage. Historically, anywhere from approximately fifty to two hundred nations enter qualifying in any given cycle. These nations are then seeded based on their ranking and then divided into qualifying groups of (usually) equal size. All teams in a qualifying group play each other twice, once at home, once away; this ''seeded double-round-robin format'' was first used in [[World Cup 7]] and has been used for all World Cup qualifiers since.

After all matches have been played, qualifiers are determined based on placement in their groups. The first criterion for placement is the number of ''points'' earned (three for a win, one for a draw, and zero for a loss). Each host committee determines further tiebreakers, usually ''goal difference'' (the number of goals conceded subtracted from the number of goals scored) or ''head-to-head results'' between the tied teams. In almost all situations, this is enough to resolve any tie. In some cases, playoffs are scheduled as part of the qualifying phase; although this is required when the number of groups is not a factor of the number of teams that qualify, some World Cups with 30 qualifying teams and fifteen qualifying groups - such as the [[World Cup 80|80th]], [[World Cup 91|91st]] and [[World Cup 92|92nd]] World Cups - have required the second- and third-placed teams in each group to enter playoffs. [[World Cup 54]] saw the use of a two-staged qualifying phase, where 30 "zonal" groups fed into 10 "interzonal" groups of 6, but this format is not common.

===World Cup===
The qualifiers in addition to the host nations advance to play in the World Cup proper. Historically, this has always been 30 qualifiers and two host nations; however, a constitutional amendment was passed prior to the competition's 91st running to clarify that "[i]t will always consist of '''at least''' 32 teams" and [[World Cup 97]] duly implemented a 48-team format.)

In 32-team World Cups, the first round (or the ''group stage'', as it is also known) was made up of eight groups of four nations. Routinely, four of these groups play in one host nation, while the other four groups compete in the second. Each nation in a group plays each other nation in that group once. The top two nations in each group advance to the second round.

Again, tiebreakers may be used here; in exceptional cases, there may be a playoff match, as in [[World Cup 12]], when [[Timway]] beat [[Liverpool England]] 2-1, or drawing of lots, as in [[World Cup 39]] where all four teams in one group finished with an identical record. In recent cycles, an in-character coin-toss - or, in out-of-character terms, a match between the deadlocked teams scorinated using only their respective roleplay bonuses - has increasingly gained favour among hosts; the most recent example of this was at [[World Cup 91]], where Farfadillis topped Group E at the expense of Pasarga after winning the coin-toss.

Beginning with the second round (also known as the ''round of sixteen'' and, less frequently, ''octofinals''), a single-elimination format was used. The exception to this is in the semifinals, as the two losing nations in the semifinals still move on to face off in the third-place playoff.

For the 48-team World Cup 97, the group stage comprised twelve four-team groups (six in each host nation) with the top two nations in each group advancing to a 32-team second round alongside the eight third-place teams with the best record. The single-elimination format then continued as in prior World Cups, albeit with one additional round.

===Scorination===
Results are determined by using a [[scorinate|scorinator]] of some sort. Excel spreadsheets were historically the most common method, and used for ten of the first twelve World Cups. The [[World Cup 13]] co-host [[Rejistania]] created a scorinator in Java, then only known as wc13.java; this would form the basis of [[Leagion]], which would be used for a number of subsequent World Cups. Around the same time, [[Bedistan]] was developing another scorinator, [[NSFootySim]], which used XML as its input language; unlike Leagion, this scorinator featured a graphical user interface, and as such became more popular. Today, the most common scorinator for the World Cup is [[xkoranate]], which supports multiple formulae for association football scorination, such as [[SQIS]] and [[Footba11er]] as well as NSFS.

The primary influence on the results is the rank of each nation, though ''roleplay bonus and [[Margaret|sheer randomness]]'' can also have moderate effects. The exact influence of each depends on the formula used and the extent to which hosts wish to emphasise it, and hence varies between World Cups.

==History==
Upon its institution by [[Ariddia]], there was no qualifying stage and no ranking system, in the World Cup, and match results were determined merely by rolls of the dice. Minor alterations were made to the dice-rolling formula for the second World Cup in [[Alasdair I Frosticus|The Holy Empire]]. [[Total n Utter Insanity]] initiated the move away from dice in [[World Cup 3]], and match results were now generated by Excel spreadsheets with, moreover, a qualifying stage appended to the system. This supplementation enabled more nations to participate at any given time, though until [[World Cup 97]] only thirty-two attained entrance to the World Cup proper. After ''qualifiers'' were introduced, the host(s) of the Cup, in addition to the few highest-ranked nations, automatically participated without need of qualification. Beginning in [[World Cup 7]], this too was modified, and thus only the inherent qualification of the host nation(s) prevailed.

In [[World Cup 9]], the [[roleplay bonus]] was introduced. The [[KPB ranking system]] was introduced for [[World Cup 12]], and remained in use until it was replaced by the [[World Rankings]] in a constitutional amendment passed prior to (but only implemented after) [[World Cup 97]].

==Hosting==
===World Cup Committee===
The World Cup Committee (WCC) governs the creation of the World Cup tournament and oversees its binding laws. The committee serves four key roles, namely to:
*elect World Cup host nations,
*elect [[Cup of Harmony]] host nations,
*nominate and elect WCC presidents, and
*propose and vote on amendments to the WCC Constitution.
Nations gain admission to the WCC if they have signed up for, and submitted a full roster to, two consecutive World Cups ''before the end of those World Cups' group stages''. This does not guarantee permanent admission, and nations must continue to follow this process for each Cup.

The World Cup Committee president is elected after every third Cup by WCC members and serves for a three-Cup cycle. The president calls for nominations and votes for the hosts of all three WCC tournaments and constitutional amendment votes. The nation that is chosen to serve in this position generally is a long-standing member of the international community and has significant experience as a host and participant.

===Executive World Cup Committee===
The Executive World Cup Committee (EWCC) is made up of representatives from all existing nations that have hosted a World Cup. These nations are well-acquainted with the ins and outs of a World Cup cycle, and thus provide most of the discussion and ideas for World Cup reform. The committee role is to elect hosts for the [[Baptism of Fire]]. The Baptism of Fire tournament is critical to instructing and retaining new participants, which requires capable, trusted hosts; this suits EWCC members' extra expertise and experience over WCC members.

''These facts may not necessarily be up to date by the time you read this. Please refer to NSWC Signups' factbook on World Cup [https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=773445 Facts and Records.]''

By defeating Liverpool England in the Semi-Final of [[World Cup 17]], [[Dance 2 Revolution]] became the first post-KPB team (a nation that has only competed in the World Cup since the official use of KPB ranks began in [[World Cup 12]]) to make the final. Dance 2 Revolution became the first post-KPB team to finish in the top 3 in two separate cups by beating Total n Utter Insanity in the [[World Cup 19]] 3rd-Placing Match. Dance 2 Revolution's World Cup 19 spotlight was quickly stolen by [[Crystilakere]], who went down in history as the first post-KPB nation to unseat the veterans and win the World Cup. Crystilakere's World Cup 19 win was vacated during cycle 95 following the [[Vilita puppet incident]], which is the only time a World Cup title has been removed from the record books.

[[Starblaydia]], [[Valanora]], and [[Vilita]] currently hold the record for most World Cups won (five). [[The Holy Empire]] holds the record for most appearances in the final with nine. Additionally, [[Capitalizt SLANI]] claims to inherit Bedistan’s records (after the destruction of Bedistan's football association but before the nation ceased to exist, Bedistani footballers played for Capitalizt SLANI), but this is not generally recognized. [[Audioslavia]] currently hold the record for most losses in the final match, with five ([[World Cup 12|WC12]], [[World Cup 19|WC19]], [[World Cup 20|WC20]], [[World Cup 29|WC29]], and [[World Cup 67|WC67]]); the first four of these came before their first victory, in [[World Cup 63|WC63]]. Thirty nations have made an appearance in the final more than once; of those, five have lost on each occasion.

The [[World Cup 22]] final will go down in history as one of the most unexpected finals ever, with both nations outside the top 10 in rankings prior to the finals. It has been suggested that the winning scoreline of 4-0 to [[Sarzonia]] against [[Oaker]] (Who had their runners-up spot later vacated because of the Vilita puppet incident) the biggest ever in a World Cup final; this was bested by [[Capitalizt SLANI]]'s 5-0 win against [[Milchama]] in the [[World Cup 39]] final, with the current record being held by Valanora's 7-1 demolishing of [[The Sylvanaes Queendom]] in the [[World Cup 61]] final on the Eternal Empire's home soil.

Rejistania's victory in the final of [[World Cup 23|WC23]] ended a run of three consecutive victories for sides from the [[Atlantian Oceania]] region ([[Vilita]] - WC20, Bedistan - [[World Cup 21|WC21]], Sarzonia, WC22), though AO was back on top again in [[World Cup 25]] with [[Starblaydia]]. There had not been a Final without an AO nation appearing in it since World Cup 18 until [[World Cup 31|WC31]], when [[Squornshelous]] & [[New Montreal States]] competed in the final. This also broke a 6 World Cup winning streak for Atlantian Oceania.

The record for the most goals in a World Cup match (qualifying or finals) is 15, in Bedistan's 8-7 defeat of Vilita in [[World Cup 21]]; this was tied in the qualifying stages of [[World Cup 55]], when [[Qlumez]] defeated [[Syracusse]] 10-5. The record winning margin in a World Cup match is 14, in [[Bears Armed]]' 14-0 defeat of [[Peisandros]] in [[World Cup 56]] qualification. More information on these games is available [https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=37224331#p37224331 here].

The final top-three finishing nations in [[World Cup 27]] were also the three previous Cup Winners: Bedistan ([[World Cup 26]] champions), [[Liverpool England]] ([[World Cup 24]] champions) and Starblaydia ([[World Cup 25]] champions). These were, coincidentally, also the top three finishers in [[World Cup 28]] and [[World Cup 30]]. None of these teams, however, got past the quarter-finals at [[World Cup 29]].

===World rankings===
Originally, the NSWC rankings were determined purely on finishing position in the previous Cup. The defending champions would be ranked first, the team with the best record in qualifying that failed to qualify would be 33rd, etc. During [[World Cup 9]], the WCC determined that a new ranking system was needed, but it took a while to come to a consensus. [[World Cup 11]] used the [[Roleplay ranks|RPR]] system. The majority of the World Cup community disliked that approach, mainly because Total n Utter Insanity failed to explain it and because its implementation tended to have discouraging effects for new nations. Starting with [[World Cup 12]], the [[KPB ranking system]] developed by [[Kaze Progressa]] with modifications from [[Bedistan]] was officially incorporated. KPB ranking takes into account the past three World Cups and the associated tournaments Cup of Harmony and Baptism of Fire.

The Empire of Vilita became the first to control two nations inside the top 10 of the KPB rankings at the conclusion of [[World Cup 19]]. The Emirate of [[Turori]], a colony of Vilita, lost in the quarterfinals of World Cup 19 to eventual runners-up Audioslavia, but their performance as first time hosts earned them a place in the top 10 for the first time, joining their rulers, Vilita. After Vilita won [[World Cup 20]] and Turori made the quarterfinals, the two remained in the top 10 for their third and second consecutive cups respectively, eventually doing one better as both nations found themselves ranked in the top 5, at 2nd and 4th in the list. Other times a nation and their puppet have both been in the top ten include [[Valanora]] and [[Demot]], Valanora and [[Pasarga]], and [[The Archregimancy]] and [[The Holy Empire]].

'''World Cup 98 qualification''' was a series of games to determine the 45 teams that will join hosts [[Tikariot national football team|Tikariot]], [[The Kytler Peninsulae national football team|The Kytler Peninsulae]] and [[Qusmo national football team|Qusmo]] at the [[World Cup 98]] finals.

{{TOC limit|2}}
==Format==
The qualification structure was as follows:
* '''Group stage''': The 144 qualifying entrants were divided into 18 groups of 8 teams to play home-and-away [[w:Round-robin tournament|round-robin]] matches. The winners and runners-up of each group directly qualified for the World Cup finals, while the third-place teams advance to the playoffs.
* '''Playoffs''': The 18 third-place teams will be paired into nine single-leg playoff ties to be played at neutral venues in the host nations. The winners of each tie qualified for the World Cup finals.

===Tiebreakers for group ranking===
In the group stage, the ranking of teams in each group were based on the following criteria:
# [[w:Three points for a win|Points]] in all group matches;
# {{wp|Goal difference}} in all group matches;
# Points in matches between tied teams;
# Goal difference in matches between tied teams;
# Wins in all group matches;
# Wins in matches between tied teams;
# Penalty shoot-out (OOC: a scorinated playoff match).
Ties are broken recursively: in the event that more than two teams are initially tied and at least one team wins or loses a tiebreaker, the tiebreaking procedure will restart from the first tiebreaker for any teams which might still be tied. This does not apply in the case of penalty shoot-outs, which will continue until the tie is completely broken.

===Criteria for overall ranking===
The overall ranking, used to seed third-place teams for the playoffs, was based on the following criteria:
# Position in the group;
# Points in all group matches;
# Goal difference in all group matches;
# Wins in all group matches;
# Points away from home;
# Goal difference away from home;
# Wins away from home;
# Penalty shoot-out.

==Draw==
Teams were seeded into one of eight pots according to the 98.1 [[KPB+ ranking system|KPB+ Rankings]], including results at [[Baptism of Fire 85]]. Teams in each pot were drawn consecutively into Groups 1 to 18, and additionally into a scheduling position for the purposes of determining the match schedules in each group; the computerised draw procedure used at this tournament incorporated both of these steps at once by way of assigning each group a code containing each of the digits 1-8 inclusive in a randomised order, with digit ''n'' in this code being the scheduling position of the team in Pot ''n''.

'''World Cup 98 qualification''' is an ongoing series of games to determine the 45 teams that will join hosts [[Tikariot national football team|Tikariot]], [[The Kytler Peninsulae national football team|The Kytler Peninsulae]] and [[Qusmo national football team|Qusmo]] at the [[World Cup 98]] finals.

{{TOC limit|2}}
==Format==
The qualification structure is as follows:
* '''Group stage''': The 144 qualifying entrants were divided into 18 groups of 8 teams to play home-and-away [[w:Round-robin tournament|round-robin]] matches. The winners and runners-up of each group directly qualify for the World Cup finals, while the third-place teams advance to the playoffs.
* '''Playoffs''': The 18 third-place teams will be paired into nine single-leg playoff ties to be played at neutral venues in the host nations. The winners of each tie qualify for the World Cup finals.

===Tiebreakers for group ranking===
In the group stage, the ranking of teams in each group will be based on the following criteria:
# [[w:Three points for a win|Points]] in all group matches;
# {{wp|Goal difference}} in all group matches;
# Points in matches between tied teams;
# Goal difference in matches between tied teams;
# Wins in all group matches;
# Wins in matches between tied teams;
# Penalty shoot-out (OOC: a scorinated playoff match).
Ties are broken recursively: in the event that more than two teams are initially tied and at least one team wins or loses a tiebreaker, the tiebreaking procedure will restart from the first tiebreaker for any teams which might still be tied. This does not apply in the case of penalty shoot-outs, which will continue until the tie is completely broken.

===Criteria for overall ranking===
The overall ranking, which will be used to seed third-place teams for the playoffs, will be based on the following criteria:
# Position in the group;
# Points in all group matches;
# Goal difference in all group matches;
# Wins in all group matches;
# Points away from home;
# Goal difference away from home;
# Wins away from home;
# Penalty shoot-out.

Teams were seeded into one of eight pots according to the 98.1 [[KPB+ ranking system|KPB+ Rankings]], including results at [[Baptism of Fire 85]]. Teams in each pot were drawn consecutively into Groups 1 to 18, and additionally into a scheduling position for the purposes of determining the match schedules in each group; the computerised draw procedure used at this tournament incorporated both of these steps at once by way of assigning each group a code containing each of the digits 1-8 inclusive in a randomised order, with digit ''n'' in this code being the scheduling position of the team in Pot ''n''.

'''World Cup 98 qualification''' is an ongoing series of games to determine the 45 teams that will join hosts [[Tikariot national football team|Tikariot]], [[The Kytler Peninsulae national football team|The Kytler Peninsulae]] and [[Qusmo national football team|Qusmo]] at the [[World Cup 98]] finals.

{{TOC limit|2}}
==Format==
The qualification structure is as follows:
* '''Group stage''': The 144 qualifying entrants were divided into 18 groups of 8 teams to play home-and-away [[w:Round-robin tournament|round-robin]] matches. The winners and runners-up of each group directly qualify for the World Cup finals, while the third-place teams advance to the playoffs.
* '''Playoffs''': The 18 third-place teams will be paired into nine single-leg playoff ties to be played at neutral venues in the host nations. The winners of each tie qualify for the World Cup finals.

===Tiebreakers for group ranking===
In the group stage, the ranking of teams in each group will be based on the following criteria:
# [[w:Three points for a win|Points]] in all group matches;
# {{wp|Goal difference}} in all group matches;
# Points in matches between tied teams;
# Goal difference in matches between tied teams;
# Wins in all group matches;
# Wins in matches between tied teams;
# Penalty shoot-out (OOC: a scorinated playoff match).
Ties are broken recursively: in the event that more than two teams are initially tied and at least one team wins or loses a tiebreaker, the tiebreaking procedure will restart from the first tiebreaker for any teams which might still be tied. This does not apply in the case of penalty shoot-outs, which will continue until the tie is completely broken.

===Criteria for overall ranking===
The overall ranking, which will be used to seed third-place teams for the playoffs, will be based on the following criteria:
# Position in the group;
# Points in all group matches;
# Goal difference in all group matches;
# Wins in all group matches;
# Points away from home;
# Goal difference away from home;
# Wins away from home;
# Penalty shoot-out.

==Draw==
Teams were seeded into one of eight pots according to the 98.1 [[KPB+ ranking system|KPB+ Rankings]], including results at [[Baptism of Fire 85]]. Teams in each pot were drawn consecutively into Groups 1 to 18, and additionally into a scheduling position for the purposes of determining the match schedules in each group; the computerised draw procedure used at this tournament incorporated both of these steps at once by way of assigning each group a code containing each of the digits 1-8 inclusive in a randomised order, with digit ''n'' in this code being the scheduling position of the team in Pot ''n''.

'''World Cup 98 qualification''' is an ongoing series of games to determine the 45 teams that will join hosts [[Tikariot national football team|Tikariot]], [[The Kytler Peninsulae national football team|The Kytler Peninsulae]] and [[Qusmo national football team|Qusmo]] at the [[World Cup 98]] finals.

{{TOC limit|2}}
==Format==
The qualification structure is as follows:
* '''Group stage''': The 144 qualifying entrants were divided into 18 groups of 8 teams to play home-and-away [[w:Round-robin tournament|round-robin]] matches. The winners and runners-up of each group directly qualify for the World Cup finals, while the third-place teams advance to the playoffs.
* '''Playoffs''': The 18 third-place teams will be paired into nine single-leg playoff ties to be played at neutral venues in the host nations. The winners of each tie qualify for the World Cup finals.

===Tiebreakers for group ranking===
In the group stage, the ranking of teams in each group will be based on the following criteria:
# [[w:Three points for a win|Points]] in all group matches;
# {{wp|Goal difference}} in all group matches;
# Points in matches between tied teams;
# Goal difference in matches between tied teams;
# Wins in all group matches;
# Wins in matches between tied teams;
# Penalty shoot-out (OOC: a scorinated playoff match).
Ties are broken recursively: in the event that more than two teams are initially tied and at least one team wins or loses a tiebreaker, the tiebreaking procedure will restart from the first tiebreaker for any teams which might still be tied. This does not apply in the case of penalty shoot-outs, which will continue until the tie is completely broken.

===Criteria for overall ranking===
The overall ranking, which will be used to seed third-place teams for the playoffs, will be based on the following criteria:
# Position in the group;
# Points in all group matches;
# Goal difference in all group matches;
# Wins in all group matches;
# Points away from home;
# Goal difference away from home;
# Wins away from home;
# Penalty shoot-out.

==Draw==
Teams were seeded into one of eight pots according to the 98.1 [[KPB+ ranking system|KPB+ Rankings]], including results at [[Baptism of Fire 85]]. Teams in each pot were drawn consecutively into Groups 1 to 18, and additionally into a scheduling position for the purposes of determining the match schedules in each group; the computerised draw procedure used at this tournament incorporated both of these steps at once by way of assigning each group a code containing each of the digits 1-8 inclusive in a randomised order, with digit ''n'' in this code being the scheduling position of the team in Pot ''n''.

The '''NationStates World Cup''' is the multiverse's longest-running recurring sporting event, dating back to the first half of 2003. Nations from around the NS world at all sorts of different technology levels play football (also known as 'soccer' or 'Association football') for the ultimate glory of becoming World Champions. The competition is governed and organized by the World Cup Committee (WCC), which is formed by the participating football associations.

Each World Cup cycle consists of three related tournaments: the World Cup itself, the [[Baptism of Fire]] held prior to the beginning of World Cup qualification for first-time entrants, and the [[Cup of Harmony]] to which nations not qualifying for the World Cup finals may enter by invitation. Matches in these WCC-sanctioned tournaments count towards a nation's world ranking (historically their [[KPB ranking system|KPB ranking]]).

==Procedure==
===Qualifying===
Each World Cup since [[World Cup 3]] has begun with a qualifying stage. Historically, anywhere from approximately fifty to two hundred nations enter qualifying in any given cycle. These nations are then seeded based on their ranking and then divided into qualifying groups of (usually) equal size. All teams in a qualifying group play each other twice, once at home, once away; this ''seeded double-round-robin format'' was first used in [[World Cup 7]] and has been used for all World Cup qualifiers since.

After all matches have been played, qualifiers are determined based on placement in their groups. The first criterion for placement is the number of ''points'' earned (three for a win, one for a draw, and zero for a loss). Each host committee determines further tiebreakers, usually ''goal difference'' (the number of goals conceded subtracted from the number of goals scored) or ''head-to-head results'' between the tied teams. In almost all situations, this is enough to resolve any tie. In some cases, playoffs are scheduled as part of the qualifying phase; although this is required when the number of groups is not a factor of the number of teams that qualify, some World Cups with 30 qualifying teams and fifteen qualifying groups - such as the [[World Cup 80|80th]], [[World Cup 91|91st]] and [[World Cup 92|92nd]] World Cups - have required the second- and third-placed teams in each group to enter playoffs. [[World Cup 54]] saw the use of a two-staged qualifying phase, where 30 "zonal" groups fed into 10 "interzonal" groups of 6, but this format is not common.

===World Cup===
The qualifiers in addition to the host nations advance to play in the World Cup proper. Historically, this has always been 30 qualifiers and two host nations; however, a constitutional amendment was passed prior to the competition's 91st running to clarify that "[i]t will always consist of '''at least''' 32 teams" and [[World Cup 97]] duly implemented a 48-team format.)

In 32-team World Cups, the first round (or the ''group stage'', as it is also known) was made up of eight groups of four nations. Routinely, four of these groups play in one host nation, while the other four groups compete in the second. Each nation in a group plays each other nation in that group once. The top two nations in each group advance to the second round.

Again, tiebreakers may be used here; in exceptional cases, there may be a playoff match, as in [[World Cup 12]], when [[Timway]] beat [[Liverpool England]] 2-1, or drawing of lots, as in [[World Cup 39]] where all four teams in one group finished with an identical record. In recent cycles, an in-character coin-toss - or, in out-of-character terms, a match between the deadlocked teams scorinated using only their respective roleplay bonuses - has increasingly gained favour among hosts; the most recent example of this was at [[World Cup 91]], where Farfadillis topped Group E at the expense of Pasarga after winning the coin-toss.

Beginning with the second round (also known as the ''round of sixteen'' and, less frequently, ''octofinals''), a single-elimination format was used. The exception to this is in the semifinals, as the two losing nations in the semifinals still move on to face off in the third-place playoff.

For the 48-team World Cup 97, the group stage comprised twelve four-team groups (six in each host nation) with the top two nations in each group advancing to a 32-team second round alongside the eight third-place teams with the best record. The single-elimination format then continued as in prior World Cups, albeit with one additional round.

===Scorination===
Results are determined by using a [[scorinate|scorinator]] of some sort. Excel spreadsheets were historically the most common method, and used for ten of the first twelve World Cups. The [[World Cup 13]] co-host [[Rejistania]] created a scorinator in Java, then only known as wc13.java; this would form the basis of [[Leagion]], which would be used for a number of subsequent World Cups. Around the same time, [[Bedistan]] was developing another scorinator, [[NSFootySim]], which used XML as its input language; unlike Leagion, this scorinator featured a graphical user interface, and as such became more popular. Today, the most common scorinator for the World Cup is [[xkoranate]], which supports multiple formulae for association football scorination, such as [[SQIS]] and [[Footba11er]] as well as NSFS.

The primary influence on the results is the rank of each nation, though ''roleplay bonus and [[Margaret|sheer randomness]]'' can also have moderate effects. The exact influence of each depends on the formula used and the extent to which hosts wish to emphasise it, and hence varies between World Cups.

==History==
Upon its institution by [[Ariddia]], there was no qualifying stage and no ranking system, in the World Cup, and match results were determined merely by rolls of the dice. Minor alterations were made to the dice-rolling formula for the second World Cup in [[Alasdair I Frosticus|The Holy Empire]]. [[Total n Utter Insanity]] initiated the move away from dice in [[World Cup 3]], and match results were now generated by Excel spreadsheets with, moreover, a qualifying stage appended to the system. This supplementation enabled more nations to participate at any given time, though until [[World Cup 97]] only thirty-two attained entrance to the World Cup proper. After ''qualifiers'' were introduced, the host(s) of the Cup, in addition to the few highest-ranked nations, automatically participated without need of qualification. Beginning in [[World Cup 7]], this too was modified, and thus only the inherent qualification of the host nation(s) prevailed.

In [[World Cup 9]], the [[roleplay bonus]] was introduced. The [[KPB ranking system]] was introduced for [[World Cup 12]], and remained in use until it was replaced by the [[World Rankings]] in a constitutional amendment passed prior to (but only implemented after) [[World Cup 97]].

==Hosting==
===World Cup Committee===
The World Cup Committee (WCC) governs the creation of the World Cup tournament and oversees its binding laws. The committee serves four key roles, namely to:
*elect World Cup host nations,
*elect [[Cup of Harmony]] host nations,
*nominate and elect WCC presidents, and
*propose and vote on amendments to the WCC Constitution.
Nations gain admission to the WCC if they have signed up for, and submitted a full roster to, two consecutive World Cups ''before the end of those World Cups' group stages''. This does not guarantee permanent admission, and nations must continue to follow this process for each Cup.

The World Cup Committee president is elected after every third Cup by WCC members and serves for a three-Cup cycle. The president calls for nominations and votes for the hosts of all three WCC tournaments and constitutional amendment votes. The nation that is chosen to serve in this position generally is a long-standing member of the international community and has significant experience as a host and participant.

===Executive World Cup Committee===
The Executive World Cup Committee (EWCC) is made up of representatives from all existing nations that have hosted a World Cup. These nations are well-acquainted with the ins and outs of a World Cup cycle, and thus provide most of the discussion and ideas for World Cup reform. The committee role is to elect hosts for the [[Baptism of Fire]]. The Baptism of Fire tournament is critical to instructing and retaining new participants, which requires capable, trusted hosts; this suits EWCC members' extra expertise and experience over WCC members.

==Records==
''These facts may not necessarily be up to date by the time you read this. Please refer to NSWC Signups' factbook on World Cup [https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=773445 Facts and Records.]''

By defeating Liverpool England in the Semi-Final of [[World Cup 17]], [[Dance 2 Revolution]] became the first post-KPB team (a nation that has only competed in the World Cup since the official use of KPB ranks began in [[World Cup 12]]) to make the final. Dance 2 Revolution became the first post-KPB team to finish in the top 3 in two separate cups by beating Total n Utter Insanity in the [[World Cup 19]] 3rd-Placing Match. Dance 2 Revolution's World Cup 19 spotlight was quickly stolen by [[Crystilakere]], who went down in history as the first post-KPB nation to unseat the veterans and win the World Cup. Crystilakere's World Cup 19 win was vacated during cycle 95 following the [[Vilita puppet incident]], which is the only time a World Cup title has been removed from the record books.

[[Starblaydia]], [[Valanora]], and [[Vilita]] currently hold the record for most World Cups won (five). [[The Holy Empire]] holds the record for most appearances in the final with nine. Additionally, [[Capitalizt SLANI]] claims to inherit Bedistan’s records (after the destruction of Bedistan's football association but before the nation ceased to exist, Bedistani footballers played for Capitalizt SLANI), but this is not generally recognized. [[Audioslavia]] currently hold the record for most losses in the final match, with five ([[World Cup 12|WC12]], [[World Cup 19|WC19]], [[World Cup 20|WC20]], [[World Cup 29|WC29]], and [[World Cup 67|WC67]]); the first four of these came before their first victory, in [[World Cup 63|WC63]]. Thirty nations have made an appearance in the final more than once; of those, five have lost on each occasion.

The [[World Cup 22]] final will go down in history as one of the most unexpected finals ever, with both nations outside the top 10 in rankings prior to the finals. It has been suggested that the winning scoreline of 4-0 to [[Sarzonia]] against [[Oaker]] (Who had their runners-up spot later vacated because of the Vilita puppet incident) the biggest ever in a World Cup final; this was bested by [[Capitalizt SLANI]]'s 5-0 win against [[Milchama]] in the [[World Cup 39]] final, with the current record being held by Valanora's 7-1 demolishing of [[The Sylvanaes Queendom]] in the [[World Cup 61]] final on the Eternal Empire's home soil.

Rejistania's victory in the final of [[World Cup 23|WC23]] ended a run of three consecutive victories for sides from the [[Atlantian Oceania]] region ([[Vilita]] - WC20, Bedistan - [[World Cup 21|WC21]], Sarzonia, WC22), though AO was back on top again in [[World Cup 25]] with [[Starblaydia]]. There had not been a Final without an AO nation appearing in it since World Cup 18 until [[World Cup 31|WC31]], when [[Squornshelous]] & [[New Montreal States]] competed in the final. This also broke a 6 World Cup winning streak for Atlantian Oceania.

The record for the most goals in a World Cup match (qualifying or finals) is 15, in Bedistan's 8-7 defeat of Vilita in [[World Cup 21]]; this was tied in the qualifying stages of [[World Cup 55]], when [[Qlumez]] defeated [[Syracusse]] 10-5. The record winning margin in a World Cup match is 14, in [[Bears Armed]]' 14-0 defeat of [[Peisandros]] in [[World Cup 56]] qualification. More information on these games is available [https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=37224331#p37224331 here].

The final top-three finishing nations in [[World Cup 27]] were also the three previous Cup Winners: Bedistan ([[World Cup 26]] champions), [[Liverpool England]] ([[World Cup 24]] champions) and Starblaydia ([[World Cup 25]] champions). These were, coincidentally, also the top three finishers in [[World Cup 28]] and [[World Cup 30]]. None of these teams, however, got past the quarter-finals at [[World Cup 29]].

===World rankings===
Originally, the NSWC rankings were determined purely on finishing position in the previous Cup. The defending champions would be ranked first, the team with the best record in qualifying that failed to qualify would be 33rd, etc. During [[World Cup 9]], the WCC determined that a new ranking system was needed, but it took a while to come to a consensus. [[World Cup 11]] used the [[Roleplay ranks|RPR]] system. The majority of the World Cup community disliked that approach, mainly because Total n Utter Insanity failed to explain it and because its implementation tended to have discouraging effects for new nations. Starting with [[World Cup 12]], the [[KPB ranking system]] developed by [[Kaze Progressa]] with modifications from [[Bedistan]] was officially incorporated. KPB ranking takes into account the past three World Cups and the associated tournaments Cup of Harmony and Baptism of Fire.

The Empire of Vilita became the first to control two nations inside the top 10 of the KPB rankings at the conclusion of [[World Cup 19]]. The Emirate of [[Turori]], a colony of Vilita, lost in the quarterfinals of World Cup 19 to eventual runners-up Audioslavia, but their performance as first time hosts earned them a place in the top 10 for the first time, joining their rulers, Vilita. After Vilita won [[World Cup 20]] and Turori made the quarterfinals, the two remained in the top 10 for their third and second consecutive cups respectively, eventually doing one better as both nations found themselves ranked in the top 5, at 2nd and 4th in the list. Other times a nation and their puppet have both been in the top ten include [[Valanora]] and [[Demot]], Valanora and [[Pasarga]], and [[The Archregimancy]] and [[The Holy Empire]].

The '''NationStates World Cup''' is the multiverse's longest-running recurring sporting event, dating back to the first half of 2003. Nations from around the NS world at all sorts of different technology levels play football (also known as 'soccer' or 'Association football') for the ultimate glory of becoming World Champions. The competition is governed and organized by the World Cup Committee (WCC), which is formed by the participating football associations.

Each World Cup cycle consists of three related tournaments: the World Cup itself, the [[Baptism of Fire]] held prior to the beginning of World Cup qualification for first-time entrants, and the [[Cup of Harmony]] to which nations not qualifying for the World Cup finals may enter by invitation. Matches in these WCC-sanctioned tournaments count towards a nation's world ranking (historically their [[KPB ranking system|KPB ranking]]).

==Procedure==
===Qualifying===
Each World Cup since [[World Cup 3]] has begun with a qualifying stage. Historically, anywhere from approximately fifty to two hundred nations enter qualifying in any given cycle. These nations are then seeded based on their ranking and then divided into qualifying groups of (usually) equal size. All teams in a qualifying group play each other twice, once at home, once away; this ''seeded double-round-robin format'' was first used in [[World Cup 7]] and has been used for all World Cup qualifiers since.

After all matches have been played, qualifiers are determined based on placement in their groups. The first criterion for placement is the number of ''points'' earned (three for a win, one for a draw, and zero for a loss). Each host committee determines further tiebreakers, usually ''goal difference'' (the number of goals conceded subtracted from the number of goals scored) or ''head-to-head results'' between the tied teams. In almost all situations, this is enough to resolve any tie. In some cases, playoffs are scheduled as part of the qualifying phase; although this is required when the number of groups is not a factor of the number of teams that qualify, some World Cups with 30 qualifying teams and fifteen qualifying groups - such as the [[World Cup 80|80th]], [[World Cup 91|91st]] and [[World Cup 92|92nd]] World Cups - have required the second- and third-placed teams in each group to enter playoffs. [[World Cup 54]] saw the use of a two-staged qualifying phase, where 30 "zonal" groups fed into 10 "interzonal" groups of 6, but this format is not common.

===World Cup===
The qualifiers in addition to the host nations advance to play in the World Cup proper. Historically, this has always been 30 qualifiers and two host nations; however, a constitutional amendment was passed prior to the competition's 91st running to clarify that "[i]t will always consist of '''at least''' 32 teams" and [[World Cup 97]] duly implemented a 48-team format.)

In 32-team World Cups, the first round (or the ''group stage'', as it is also known) was made up of eight groups of four nations. Routinely, four of these groups play in one host nation, while the other four groups compete in the second. Each nation in a group plays each other nation in that group once. The top two nations in each group advance to the second round.

Again, tiebreakers may be used here; in exceptional cases, there may be a playoff match, as in [[World Cup 12]], when [[Timway]] beat [[Liverpool England]] 2-1, or drawing of lots, as in [[World Cup 39]] where all four teams in one group finished with an identical record. In recent cycles, an in-character coin-toss - or, in out-of-character terms, a match between the deadlocked teams scorinated using only their respective roleplay bonuses - has increasingly gained favour among hosts; the most recent example of this was at [[World Cup 91]], where Farfadillis topped Group E at the expense of Pasarga after winning the coin-toss.

Beginning with the second round (also known as the ''round of sixteen'' and, less frequently, ''octofinals''), a single-elimination format was used. The exception to this is in the semifinals, as the two losing nations in the semifinals still move on to face off in the third-place playoff.

For the 48-team World Cup 97, the group stage comprised twelve four-team groups (six in each host nation) with the top two nations in each group advancing to a 32-team second round alongside the eight third-place teams with the best record. The single-elimination format then continued as in prior World Cups, albeit with one additional round.

===Scorination===
Results are determined by using a [[scorinate|scorinator]] of some sort. Excel spreadsheets were historically the most common method, and used for ten of the first twelve World Cups. The [[World Cup 13]] co-host [[Rejistania]] created a scorinator in Java, then only known as wc13.java; this would form the basis of [[Leagion]], which would be used for a number of subsequent World Cups. Around the same time, [[Bedistan]] was developing another scorinator, [[NSFootySim]], which used XML as its input language; unlike Leagion, this scorinator featured a graphical user interface, and as such became more popular. Today, the most common scorinator for the World Cup is [[xkoranate]], which supports multiple formulae for association football scorination, such as [[SQIS]] and [[Footba11er]] as well as NSFS.

The primary influence on the results is the rank of each nation, though ''roleplay bonus and [[Margaret|sheer randomness]]'' can also have moderate effects. The exact influence of each depends on the formula used and the extent to which hosts wish to emphasise it, and hence varies between World Cups.

==History==
Upon its institution by [[Ariddia]], there was no qualifying stage and no ranking system, in the World Cup, and match results were determined merely by rolls of the dice. Minor alterations were made to the dice-rolling formula for the second World Cup in [[Alasdair I Frosticus|The Holy Empire]]. [[Total n Utter Insanity]] initiated the move away from dice in [[World Cup 3]], and match results were now generated by Excel spreadsheets with, moreover, a qualifying stage appended to the system. This supplementation enabled more nations to participate at any given time, though until [[World Cup 97]] only thirty-two attained entrance to the World Cup proper. After ''qualifiers'' were introduced, the host(s) of the Cup, in addition to the few highest-ranked nations, automatically participated without need of qualification. Beginning in [[World Cup 7]], this too was modified, and thus only the inherent qualification of the host nation(s) prevailed.

In [[World Cup 9]], the [[roleplay bonus]] was introduced. The [[KPB ranking system]] was introduced for [[World Cup 12]], and remained in use until it was replaced by the [[World Rankings]] in a constitutional amendment passed prior to (but only implemented after) [[World Cup 97]].

==Hosting==
===World Cup Committee===
The World Cup Committee (WCC) governs the creation of the World Cup tournament and oversees its binding laws. The committee serves four key roles, namely to:
*elect World Cup host nations,
*elect [[Cup of Harmony]] host nations,
*nominate and elect WCC presidents, and
*propose and vote on amendments to the WCC Constitution.
Nations gain admission to the WCC if they have signed up for, and submitted a full roster to, two consecutive World Cups ''before the end of those World Cups' group stages''. This does not guarantee permanent admission, and nations must continue to follow this process for each Cup.

The World Cup Committee president is elected after every third Cup by WCC members and serves for a three-Cup cycle. The president calls for nominations and votes for the hosts of all three WCC tournaments and constitutional amendment votes. The nation that is chosen to serve in this position generally is a long-standing member of the international community and has significant experience as a host and participant.

===Executive World Cup Committee===
The Executive World Cup Committee (EWCC) is made up of representatives from all existing nations that have hosted a World Cup. These nations are well-acquainted with the ins and outs of a World Cup cycle, and thus provide most of the discussion and ideas for World Cup reform. The committee role is to elect hosts for the [[Baptism of Fire]]. The Baptism of Fire tournament is critical to instructing and retaining new participants, which requires capable, trusted hosts; this suits EWCC members' extra expertise and experience over WCC members.

==Records==
''These facts may not necessarily be up to date by the time you read this. Please refer to NSWC Signups' factbook on World Cup [https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=773445 Facts and Records.]''

By defeating Liverpool England in the Semi-Final of [[World Cup 17]], [[Dance 2 Revolution]] became the first post-KPB team (a nation that has only competed in the World Cup since the official use of KPB ranks began in [[World Cup 12]]) to make the final. Dance 2 Revolution became the first post-KPB team to finish in the top 3 in two separate cups by beating Total n Utter Insanity in the [[World Cup 19]] 3rd-Placing Match. Dance 2 Revolution's World Cup 19 spotlight was quickly stolen by [[Crystilakere]], who went down in history as the first post-KPB nation to unseat the veterans and win the World Cup. Crystilakere's World Cup 19 win was vacated during cycle 95 following the [[Vilita puppet incident]], which is the only time a World Cup title has been removed from the record books.

[[Starblaydia]], [[Valanora]], and [[Vilita]] currently hold the record for most World Cups won (five). [[The Holy Empire]] holds the record for most appearances in the final with nine. Additionally, [[Capitalizt SLANI]] claims to inherit Bedistan’s records (after the destruction of Bedistan's football association but before the nation ceased to exist, Bedistani footballers played for Capitalizt SLANI), but this is not generally recognized. [[Audioslavia]] currently hold the record for most losses in the final match, with five ([[World Cup 12|WC12]], [[World Cup 19|WC19]], [[World Cup 20|WC20]], [[World Cup 29|WC29]], and [[World Cup 67|WC67]]); the first four of these came before their first victory, in [[World Cup 63|WC63]]. Thirty nations have made an appearance in the final more than once; of those, five have lost on each occasion.

The [[World Cup 22]] final will go down in history as one of the most unexpected finals ever, with both nations outside the top 10 in rankings prior to the finals. It has been suggested that the winning scoreline of 4-0 to [[Sarzonia]] against [[Oaker]] (Who had their runners-up spot later vacated because of the Vilita puppet incident) the biggest ever in a World Cup final; this was bested by [[Capitalizt SLANI]]'s 5-0 win against [[Milchama]] in the [[World Cup 39]] final, with the current record being held by Valanora's 7-1 demolishing of [[The Sylvanaes Queendom]] in the [[World Cup 61]] final on the Eternal Empire's home soil.

Rejistania's victory in the final of [[World Cup 23|WC23]] ended a run of three consecutive victories for sides from the [[Atlantian Oceania]] region ([[Vilita]] - WC20, Bedistan - [[World Cup 21|WC21]], Sarzonia, WC22), though AO was back on top again in [[World Cup 25]] with [[Starblaydia]]. There had not been a Final without an AO nation appearing in it since World Cup 18 until [[World Cup 31|WC31]], when [[Squornshelous]] & [[New Montreal States]] competed in the final. This also broke a 6 World Cup winning streak for Atlantian Oceania.

The record for the most goals in a World Cup match (qualifying or finals) is 15, in Bedistan's 8-7 defeat of Vilita in [[World Cup 21]]; this was tied in the qualifying stages of [[World Cup 55]], when [[Qlumez]] defeated [[Syracusse]] 10-5. The record winning margin in a World Cup match is 14, in [[Bears Armed]]' 14-0 defeat of [[Peisandros]] in [[World Cup 56]] qualification. More information on these games is available [https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=37224331#p37224331 here].

The final top-three finishing nations in [[World Cup 27]] were also the three previous Cup Winners: Bedistan ([[World Cup 26]] champions), [[Liverpool England]] ([[World Cup 24]] champions) and Starblaydia ([[World Cup 25]] champions). These were, coincidentally, also the top three finishers in [[World Cup 28]] and [[World Cup 30]]. None of these teams, however, got past the quarter-finals at [[World Cup 29]].

===World rankings===
Originally, the NSWC rankings were determined purely on finishing position in the previous Cup. The defending champions would be ranked first, the team with the best record in qualifying that failed to qualify would be 33rd, etc. During [[World Cup 9]], the WCC determined that a new ranking system was needed, but it took a while to come to a consensus. [[World Cup 11]] used the [[Roleplay ranks|RPR]] system. The majority of the World Cup community disliked that approach, mainly because Total n Utter Insanity failed to explain it and because its implementation tended to have discouraging effects for new nations. Starting with [[World Cup 12]], the [[KPB ranking system]] developed by [[Kaze Progressa]] with modifications from [[Bedistan]] was officially incorporated. KPB ranking takes into account the past three World Cups and the associated tournaments Cup of Harmony and Baptism of Fire.

The Empire of Vilita became the first to control two nations inside the top 10 of the KPB rankings at the conclusion of [[World Cup 19]]. The Emirate of [[Turori]], a colony of Vilita, lost in the quarterfinals of World Cup 19 to eventual runners-up Audioslavia, but their performance as first time hosts earned them a place in the top 10 for the first time, joining their rulers, Vilita. After Vilita won [[World Cup 20]] and Turori made the quarterfinals, the two remained in the top 10 for their third and second consecutive cups respectively, eventually doing one better as both nations found themselves ranked in the top 5, at 2nd and 4th in the list. Other times a nation and their puppet have both been in the top ten include [[Valanora]] and [[Demot]], Valanora and [[Pasarga]], and [[The Archregimancy]] and [[The Holy Empire]].

'''World Cup 97''' was an international football tournament held in [[Eastfield Lodge]] and [[Pasarga]].
It was the first [[World Cup]] to have a final phase of 48 teams, a move which had been first permitted by a vote of the World Cup Committee prior to World Cup 91 but had not been proposed by subsequent hosts. It was also the last World Cup to use the [[KPB ranking system]] before the introduction of a replacement ranking structure.
==Qualification==
==Group stage==
===Draw===
Teams were allocated to four pots on the basis of their world ranking at the end of qualification. Although both host nations are normally placed in pot one, Eastfield Lodge agreed to be seeded based on its rank and was consequently placed in pot four.

'''World Cup 97''' was an international football tournament held in [[Eastfield Lodge]] and [[Pasarga]]. [[Squornshelan Remnant States]] defeated [[Valanora]] in the final..

It was the first [[World Cup]] to have a final phase of 48 teams, a move which had been first permitted by a vote of the World Cup Committee prior to World Cup 91 but had not been proposed by subsequent hosts. It was also the last World Cup to use the [[KPB ranking system]] before the introduction of a replacement ranking structure.
==Qualification==
==Group stage==
===Draw===
Teams were allocated to four pots on the basis of their world ranking at the end of qualification. Although both host nations are normally placed in pot one, Eastfield Lodge agreed to be seeded based on its rank and was consequently placed in pot four.

The overall number of individual athletes and events makes the Summer Olympics (formally referred to as the Games of the Olympiad) the largest sporting event in the world, although the number of nations participating in each Olympics is generally smaller than that competing in the football [[World Cup]]. While considerably smaller, the Winter Olympics (formally the Olympic Winter Games) is also similar or larger in scale than the biggest international tournaments.

The Olympic Charter sets out the governance of the Olympics, most importantly the composition of the Olympic Council, procedures for voting on host cities, and the lists of medal events. The charter also sets out that the Summer and Winter Olympics must alternate. Both are held once per [[Time|OOC year]], usually in the northern hemisphere summer and winter respectively.

==History==
Various regions of the multiverse have hosted regional Olympics, sometimes opening them up to foreign nations, but none have approached the scale of the NationStates Olympics, which are conducted on the game's main forums. The first Olympic Games to be successfully completed was the [[1st Winter Olympics]] in [[Aeropag]], [[Paripana]], a region that has since hosted five more editions of both Summer and Winter Games. Compared to competitions in other sports, such as football and ice hockey, the Olympics were quite late in being adopted by the sports roleplayers, only beginning in 2006. For several years beforehand there had been attempts to organize a multi-sport event patterned after the real-world summer Olympics, such as Kaza '08 which was incompletely scorinated and abandoned. These efforts reflected the significant demands of developing a means to [[scorinate]], and then overseeing the hosting of such a large series of events.

There were some historical antecedents to the first NS Olympics, though. The largest successful multi-sport event to that point had been organized by Casari, in the form of the Tyrellian Ylompic Games, which had a summer sports focus. The NS United Nations had also attempted to pass a resolution to institute an Olympic contest: the proposal was deleted, however, and came to be regarded as an interesting and historic moment in the evolution of the Enodian proposal rules, becoming the inspiration for the revised committee rules in the Hackian Laws. The inspiration for Hersfold's proposal was probably the RL 2004 Summer Olympics, and similarly the First Winter Olympics finally did come about in the wake of the RL 2006 Winter Olympics.

Long before any Olympic Games were organized, an [[Olympic Council]] was founded. This prompted great excitement but not a great deal of actual organization, and it took months before they would have any bids to vote on. The Olympic Council subsequently went into decline and was, for several years, totally defunct, in comparison with the relatively resilient World Cup Committee. Several factors contributed to this: the infrequency of the Olympics compared with other sports events; the complexity of hosting the Olympics and the consequent self-selection of hosts; and the inactivity of original members. For example, only four nations from the 1st Winter Olympics returned for the [[4th Winter Olympics]].

===Olympic Charter===
The dormant Olympic Council was revived by the ratification of an Olympic Charter in January 2010 (at the same vote in which the [[5th Winter Olympics]] host was decided), which established a new set of formalised rules for running the Olympics and selecting hosts. The membership of the Olympic Council is made up of all nations which took part in the immediately previous Winter or Summer Olympics; nations lose membership if they entirely miss an Olympic cycle but can regain membership if they make a valid entry for the Olympics again. This new regime's first formal act was to hold a vote ratifying a host for the [[5th Summer Olympics]]; its host selection process has now been used for all subsequent editions of the Olympic Games (see below).

==Olympic hosts==
Any nation can bid to host the Olympics, and nations from around the world come to compete. Despite this, hosting duties were initially almost monopolised by [[Atlantian Oceania]], a region with a strong history of involvement in sports roleplaying. Indeed, until the fourth Olympic cycle, no Games had ever been held outside this region: [[Alavaria]], [[Kelssek]], host of the [[4th Winter Olympics|IV Olympic Winter Games]], is located in [[The East Pacific]]. This statistic is somewhat skewed by the fact that five of the eight Games up to that point were held in Paripana, owing to their proven record of reliable hosting and development of the xkoranate multi-event scorinator. The historic significance of Paripana to the NS Olympics was honoured at the Alavaria Games by the ceremonial firing of a cannon during the opening ceremony.

Hosting can be extremely time consuming, far more so than most other sporting events. Sign-ups typically open weeks in advance to allow sufficient time to register all entrants, and the generation and posting of results can take several hours, and is typically split up into two separate scorinations per day ("afternoon" and "evening", for RP purposes). As a result of these demands, it has become increasingly common for the Games to be co-hosted by two nations, which first occurred at the [[10th Summer Olympics]] (though the preceding [[9th Summer Olympics]] also had some scorination outsourced). At the same time, Olympic hosts are generally afforded more generous prerogatives than those of, for example, the World Cup: prior to the implementation of the Olympic Charter they could decide which events to include and which to drop, and which demonstration events to hold, limited by the general convention of staying close to the real-life Olympic programme. This has seen the schedule of events fluctuate slightly over the course of the first few Games. With the ratification of the Olympic Charter prior to the 5th Winter Olympics, adherence to the real-life programme for medal events became a formal requirement, while allowing for minor variations for gender equality and the rationalisation of weight categories in combat sports (see "Sports" below).

===Host selection===
Under the Olympic Charter rules, bids from any nation can be considered. The president of the Olympic Council - who is the person who last successfully hosted the Summer Olympics - determines which bids meet the technical requirements (for instance, specifying an appropriate scorinator) and when satisfied that no further bids are forthcoming administers a vote of the members of the Olympic Council (all players who have participated in the previous Summer or Winter Olympics, plus any players appointed to the executive committee under the Charter). Votes will include the option to re-open bids, and are decided by the option which wins the most votes. In the case of a tie, the option which received the majority of the executive committee members' votes wins. The president holds the final tie-breaking vote if the vote among executive committee members is still tied.

Before being formalised by the Olympic Charter, the method of electing of a host city varied from case-to-case. Initially, the Olympic Council controlled the process, setting deadlines for bid submissions, rejecting bids that were technically incompetent (a task assigned to an Olympic Upper Council, selected largely by reputation), and then organizing a vote (with each National Olympic Committee being permitted one vote). Over time, the Olympic Council's influence greatly diminished, and it became increasingly clear that the demands of hosting were so great that very few nations could realistically be expected to perform them. Paripana, Quakmybush, and Kelssek therefore took on hosting duties by default, in the absence of any competing bids and with no objection expected. By the time of the [[4th Summer Olympics]], the process regained a degree of formality, although the Olympic Council as such still played no part. The host selection process was overseen by the Kelssek Olympic Committee, and featured a vote open to NOCs which had participated in at least one of the previous two Olympic Games. This process was repeated to select a host for the [[5th Winter Olympics]], at which point the ratification of the Olympic Charter meant that future votes have followed a more formal process.

===Scorination===
Every Olympics since the [[2nd Summer Olympics]] has used xkoranate as the primary scorinator. For the [[1st Summer Olympics]], Casari used a set of spreadsheets, which were based on current world records at the time. This has led to many of the results being considered unofficial as it generated results differently from xkoranate. For the 1st and 2nd Winter Olympics, Commerce Heights used an earlier version of xkoranate, a PHP/SQL based program with a command-line interface.

==Participation==
All athletes are entered into the Games as part of a delegation. Almost always, each delegation is submitted by an organization known as an Olympic committee, which is assigned its own three-letter code for recordkeeping purposes. However, a delegation may combine entrants from more than one Olympic committee. Seven national Olympic committees from the Teremara region combine their entrants into a single delegation, the Tereman Unified Team, while being identified by their respective nations in competition and in record-keeping. In other situations, certain nations have competed both separately and as part of the same delegation, for example Vilita and Turori.

Olympic committees are often called NOCs (National Olympic Committees) for short, given that most but not all Olympic committees represent nation-states. A significant number of Olympic committees are exceptions to this, most notably those representing the stateless geographic region of Paripana (Paripana Sporting Council, Jasi'yun, Association francophone).

As of the eighth Olympic cycle , it was estimated that at least 193 National Olympic Committees had sent delegations to at least one Olympic event, though none have sent delegations to every Games; Qazox was previously the only nation to have participated in every Olympics, but did not enter the [[9th Summer Olympics]].

==Sports==
Though the programme of events contested has always been based on the real-life Olympic Games, the list of summer sports has changed subtly over time, reflecting additions and removals from the hosts of each Games as well as changes to the real-life programme. From the [[5th Summer Olympics]] (Outineau) onwards, the Olympic Charter was enacted, formally requiring that only events contested in the real-life Olympics may be held as medal events, and hosts are required to follow the full programme with the exception that the number of weight categories for combat sports may be reduced and that where the real Olympics has an event in one gender but not another, the event may also be held in the corresponding gender (examples include men's synchronized swimming and women's ski jumping). These are specifically identified on the "base list" which must be held, and the "extended list" which hosts have the discretion to include or exclude. Events not on those lists cannot be held as medal events.

The Summer Olympics also sometimes include several demonstration sports, while only snow-angel making, bandy and winter pentathlon (devised by the Liventian organizing committee of the 7th Winter Olympics) have been contested as demonstration events at the winter edition. The Winter Olympic programme has always consisted of fifteen official disciplines in seven sports. The only variations in the programme during the first eight Games were the exclusion of a women’s 5000 m speed skating event at the I Olympic Winter Games, and the inclusion of skicross at the failed [[3rd Winter Olympics]]. Three additional events were added for the 9th Winter Olympics, reflecting their addition to the real-life programme.

Significant changes in the Summer Olympics programme were made for the [[2nd Summer Olympics]]. These changes included additional events for women (including boxing and cycling), an expansion in the number of events in canoeing and combat sports, and the elimination of cricket and rugby sevens. The [[4th Summer Olympics]] saw further changes, with the removal of baseball and softball (in line with the real Olympics) and a streamlining of gymnastics events so that the real-life apparatus were used, rather than all apparatus being contested by both men and women. Several further changes in line with the RL programme were made for the [[8th Summer Olympics]]. Rugby sevens and golf were contested for the first time as medal events at the [[11th Summer Olympics]], ahead of their inclusion in the real Games. Further updates in line with RL changes have occurred since then.

==Medals==
Generally, gold, silver, and bronze medals are awarded to the competitors placing first, second, and third respectively according to the rules for each event. The winners are further awarded the title of Olympic champion. In combat sports two bronze medals are awarded in each event. For judo, taekwondo, and wrestling, they are awarded to the winners of matches between the losing semifinalists and two competitors who won the repêchage after having been eliminated earlier in the tournament. In boxing, there is no repêchage and both losing semi-finalists are awarded bronze medals.

The Olympic Council does not officially recognize nation rankings, as the events are ostensibly competitions between athletes and not nations. However, the publication of medal tallies by country is common in the media. Furthermore, between media outlets there is often variation on whether ranking is based on the number of gold medals or total medals won.
