== Host Selection ==

The first host bid was submitted by [[United Civil Republic]], but it was withdrawn after the host nation refused to reply after the vote had been completed. The result of this was [[Baggieland]] submitting a host bid, which was quite conventional in most ways.

== Draw ==

As it was the first edition and there were no rankings, all fourteen sides were randomly drawn into two groups of seven teams each. Baggieland was automatically assigned top position in Group A as hosts. 

== Group stage ==

=== Tiebreakers ===

In the group stage, the following criteria determined the ranking of teams. 
* Standings points
* Points difference
* Points scored
* Head-to-head record
* Coin toss (OOC: cumulative RP bonus)

=== Group A ===
