I was waiting for Gry to do this, but since he took a weekend off or sth and I want you guys to have enough time to prepare, I decided to get things started now.
With making the groups there was looked at the rankings of the teams in previous tournaments.
Also it has been prevented that there would be the same groups as last year.
The groups, which will be soon added to the NT page are as follows:
Group A:
Poland
Europe
Romania
Netherlands
Group B:
Finland
Serbia
Egypt
Germany
So what now?:
Its all on the National Tournament section already, but for your convenience I will tell you what to do:
In round 1, all teams will play on these 2 maps:
Crystalline
Frontier Falls
Both teams play 10 mins on each map with each color (red/blue), so in total a match takes 40 minutes.
It is round based, which means the maximum score you can win with is 4-0.
To see when games will be played, see the right of this page. The played game will appear in the National tournament section shortly.
Edit: I am Grytolle and I approve this messsage.

Am I the only one who thinks a Europe team is a ridiculous idea? It's a continent. There's already European countries with their own teams already.
Yes, yes you are.
Because Gry/MS allowed an extra team, he not only got more people in the tournament (making it more fun, etc.) but he also raised the number of teams to 8, instead of 7 which is a number hard to make a nice solid tournament schedule for. Otherwise 1 of the groups would've had 3 teams instead of 1.
So yes, I think there aren't much people who find the Europe team a "ridiculous idea". I could be mistaken though...

FIN vs. SRB was apparently played today too, but it'll take a while to get that game added, for lack of organization :p
The other two games have been scheduled and you can see them among the "Upcoming CW matches" on the front page of all ladders.
Everything will be linked together in the National tournament section shortly (links to all the games that have been played or scheduled can be found on the schedule page), where you will eventually also be able to see overall statistics for the players in the tournament.
Added EGY vs. GER: [URL=http://jazzjackrabbit.net/index.php?op=loosegames&id=1]click here[/URL]!

one should apply referees who remember to save stats
We rode on the winds of the rising storm,
We ran to the sounds of the thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
and tore the world asunder.
