A post later today will contain the rules and guidelines for the Pop World Cup. This post should be used for managerial reaction, requests for assistance, and so on. The spirit of fair play suggests that you should be open and generous in your offers of exotic pop to people who aren't your direct group stage opponents - share the knowledge!

Swaps of managerial posts are fine, though of course need to be mutual. Make sure you tell me.

If you want to pull out - whether because you are some kind of wimp who cannot find music from yr country, or because you really won't be able to find a track by the date indicated - please let me know ASAP as we have a couple of possible managerial replacements lined up.
