The Copa Rushmori has been hosted in 24 different nations with three nations hosting the competition twice (Saugeais, Valladares and Polar Islandstates).

Saintland won the latest edition which was hosted in Pasarga and Eura.

Format

The format of the tournament varies depending on the hosts. However, the tournament generally has a group stage followed by a knock-out stage, similar to the World Cup.

Qualification rules

• New nations joining Rushmore after the moment the sign-up thread is posted are ineligible to join.
• Regulars returning from CTE status after the sign-up threat is posted may join, provided that they have competed in at least two (back-to-back) of the previous Copa editions.
• Only one puppet will be allowed per OOC user (who must declare it as such when entering it) and their final inclusion into the tournament will be entirely up to host discretion.

Host bidding

All participating nations are free to submit host bids. A vote will then take place among all participants (minus those to have bid to be host and puppets) to determine the host. All ballots contain an option to reject the proposed bid(s) and re-open the bidding process.
