Introduction to the Cup

The Under-21 World Cup is a spinoff tournament of the World Cup which involves only players under the age of 21 years. It is held in Total n Utter Insanity every four years, usually just before the main World Cup.

The tournament was initially created by Liverpool England, but every single installment has been hosted by Total n Utter Insanity, partly to be a testing ground for the RPR ranking and RP-bonus system created by him. It has become known for its innovative approach to match result generation, incorporating tactical variations for each team. With many teams opting for extreme attacking formations - scientists in Kaze Progressa once cloned their famous striker Faiwe Irafma over twenty times and made each of the clones teenagers, using this as their Under-21 team - goals are never far away and ten goals in a game - which has only ever happened once in World Cup competition (in Rejistania's 10-1 defeat of Ravea in qualifying for WC17) - is quite common in this tournament. However also defensive tactics are possible (even more until 8-0-2 or AOD was removed) so also 0:0 and 0:1 tend to happen.
