There are just 3 places left now.

We have one vacancy in this division as we have had a late withdrawal.

Well i'm only allowed to enter two divisions,it being my first season but if you're seriously stuck for this or any other comps,just gimme a shout.

Important: All the fixtures in the themed events are "paired matches". Given that paired matches are currently disappearing off the server either just after they have finished or even while they are in progress, we recommend that you set up the two matches separately as single matches for the duration of the tournament. We also recommend that you make a note of the exact result of the game as soon as it finishes regardless of whether you are the winner or loser of the match. In this way we should be able to keep a full record of the tournament. Thanks.

I will be doing a "live" draw for both pools at midday (UK time) today so if you are about you can watch the competition take shape.

There are 16 players entered into each pool. The draw will be completely open - there is no seeding at all.

Is there anyone now who does not understand what this means?

Yes, the 50/10 rule does apply here as well and some of the armies have selection restrictions too (in brackets).

Can Macedonian Successor use the 4 Galatians in the main list, and are the Galatians restricted to max 16 fanatical warriors?

Yes and yes. I have added some text to the first post to clarify this point. Thanks for pointing it out, Oskar.
