    Hi MrUmbrella, by chosing WGT flag to determine the Nation a player will play for, we meant no disrespect for any player, and I apologize if by doing so we hurt your feelings.

    Me and Carlo are organizing this WGT tournament with quite a number of players to keep track of, so I hope you understand if we try to "keep it simple" by using what WGT offers to identify what nation a player belongs.

    It is true that WGT uses your billing address to determine your flag, but I wouldn't say it has "nothing to do" with Nationality: I would say in most case the two things match.
    And as you and me and many other can prove, you might end up playing WGT with a different Nation's flag than your own.
    Also true that WGT does not make a difference between Scotland, Wales and Britain: again I apologize if this ends up against your Nation pride.

    Thinking about the reason why I have a different flag in WGT, even made me think a lot about my identity too.
    Some say "home is where your heart is" ... maybe we need to ask WGT to add this feature in one of the next updates :-)

    I respect your choice, and I anyway wish you will want to reconsider and play this tournament with your "WGT Nation's Flag", which is what we will use for all players of this competition.

    Alberto, no bad feelings, and you are setting up this interesting tournament, so I respect your decision, and make mine.  It is also not a matter of national pride on my side, but a matter of language. In the first place, the flag is obviously decoying anyone familiar with the feature, where it denotes a country chosen by a player, but extending something wrong does not help. Call it residency (or domestic, or ...) cup, and I am fine with the format as is. But I am fine with not taking part. But of course it said that many country are not represented, and/or misrepresenting, starting with the countries of the UK. Wales is these days even better placed than England in the FIFA.

    Good luck and a lot of fun to all who take part.

    Ciao Alberto

    I did read your thread on the first page and would like to take part.

    As you might see the pic and that's where my heart is (& Nationality) but the one of my flag is where I'm living but can't change it.

    So your choice and I understand your ruling
