The Cup of Harmony is a tournament for roleplaying nations, which failed to qualify for the World Cup. The term Cup of Harmony was invented by Warnocks Wizards, who hosted this tournament parallel to WCIX. However this was not the first installment of a tournament for non-qualifiers (sometimes called: 'Losers Cup'): parallel to WCVIII, the Frosty Invitational Tournament was hosted since a high number of roleplayers failed to qualify. Despite other names of successing tournaments was Cup of Harmony the name, which became used by the sporting community.

The Cup of Harmony is an official event of the World Cup committee. Its results affect the KPB-ranks of the participants and are an additional entice to roleplay during the World Cup.

Among notable incidents in Cup of Harmony history is the famous "voodoo dice" incident in Cup of Harmony V, during which several of the results were decidedly fishy. Particularly Melmond's 7-0 win over the now ceased nation Praying2God caused some eyebrows to rise around the sporting world, as the Melmondians had a less than glorious football history before the tournament - however, matters were resolved, and "voodoo dice" became a way of explaining results that did not exactly fit the norm (see also Margaret)

It looks, though, as this tradition will cease. With the seventeenth World Cup seeing most of the former organisers qualifying (only The Belmore Family of former, still active hosts were knocked out), little interest was made in hosting the tournament, and the outlook for this once-great tournament is now rather bleak.
