The succession to the Crée du Sud is open! Here we go for this twelfth edition!
The rules remain the same.
However, I would like to stress the following point:
You have until Sunday 7 December at the latest to play your 4 matches.
The ranking of qualifiers for the Top Twelve will be published on Monday 8 December.
I would like to remind you that as of 7 December, any federation that has played or even simply scheduled more than 4 matches will not be able to take part in the final phase (even if it believes it finished in the top 4 and has qualified directly for the quarter-finals without having to go through the 1/8 finals, which will take place in the days following publication of the rankings).
I would also like to remind you that players who do not have a 0 progression coefficient may not take part in a match (even if the coefficient is close to zero).
Finally, I would like to remind you that it is forbidden to select more than two players from the same club or more than 5 players from clubs belonging to the same association.
Last season, 6 federations were caught red-handed.
At my level, only sanctions specific to the competition are taken (match lost on the green carpet, etc.) but I would also remind you that in the event of an infringement, the game's administrators can apply any sanctions they deem useful and which will apply to the coach's club.

Good luck to you all in your bid to add your name to the list of winners.

The match was therefore declared lost for England on the green carpet.

and
E. O'runov
The selection of a second player from the same club results from the use of a loophole.
Reminder of the above rules

Match lost on the green carpet by Viet Nam 0-1

Uruguay - United States
#match?mid=6543607
Uruguay lost on the green carpet for (involuntary) use of 2 players from the same club.
Thanks to Jules Verne for his fair play

Trinidad and Tobago v. Brazil
#match?mid=6555615
The match is declared lost 0-1 on the green carpet for Trinitad and Tobago, who did not respect the 1 player per club rule.
Example:

The two players mentioned belong to the same club.

As a reminder, irrespective of the competition-specific penalty for failing to comply with this rule, the club to which the players belong is also at fault, as it knows full well that it is benefiting from the selection of several players (... unwittingly!), but it is up to the game's admins to decide what to do about this.

General comment: double (or triple) selection seems to be on the increase and the possibility of doing this is generally the result of using a loophole.
