Embark on the great journey to capture the glorious World Cup! Crush your enemies in 1v1 and 3-8 player Standard games! Emerge from your country to overpower players qualifying from across the globe!

Welcome to the 2011 World Cup of Risk!


2011 World Cup Anthem
Alone Tonight, by Above and Beyond

To play, first see if you meet these requirements:

show: Requirements to Play


If you are a non-premium member, once the tournament begins, you must guarantee to keep 1 of your 4 game slots open for tournament games, until you are eliminated!

The tournament will feature two game types; 1v1 and 3-8 player singles, to take place on nearly every Earth map. All play begins in Stage I, in which there is 1v1 play. Following Stage I, there will only be 3-8 player singles games.

Though CC is hosting 3 Official World Cup events, this tournament is certainly a much different tournament. The 2011 World Cup is more freemium-friendly (requiring only 1 game slot), has a totally different format (two different game modes), and uses the Earth maps instead of the World Cup map. It is a sequel to the 2010 World Cup of Risk that I have been arduously working on for months.

Now look through the 5 leagues below and find your favorite division. They are highlighted in blue. The name of the division corresponds with the map you will be playing on in the division. (there are 32 divisions.)

The Official Rules of the 2011 World Cup of Risk
*The tournament organizer has the final say on any issues connected to the tournament and tournament play.
*Random.org shall be used when randomness is needed.


show: Universal Settings


Important Note
Regardless of the variations in tournament format across the 5 leagues, the tournament structure is fair. The following two golden rules will always apply, regardless of format:
  • The League Final in any league will always be made up of one-quarter (1/4th) of the players in that league. In other words, 1 out of every 4 players will reach the League Final.
  • The World Cup Final (which has all the winners of the League Finals) will always be made up of one-sixteenth (1/16th) of the players in the tournament. In other words, 1 out of every 16 players will reach the World Cup Final.

The Leagues

show: Asian League


Having chosen a division, you will now face each of the other 3 members of the division twice in a 1v1 game (this process is known as round-robin). Thus, each player is guaranteed 6 games. Games will take place on the map corresponding to the name of the division (so if you join the Middle East division, you will play on the Middle East map).

Players will be ranked by wins. If you advance from your division you will face opponents on larger maps from the same region, qualifying from other maps in other locations of the continent. For example, if you advance from the Jamaica division, you will face opponents on the South America map, qualifying from the Brazil, Haiti, and Central America divisions.

Eventually, with great skill and a bit of luck, you just might reach the Final, facing opponents qualifying from the entire globe.

show: Format of Round-Robin


show: Tie-Breaker Policy


Divisions and leagues will play independently of each other, so one division or league may be finished before another.

World Cup Final

Host Map: Classic
Includes 2 players from North American League, 1 Player from South American League, 3 players from European League, 1 Player from African League, and 1 Player from Asian League.

The 8 players play in 1, 8-player Standard Game, with the Universal Settings. The winner of this game is the champion of the 2011 World Cup of Risk!



The name of the division, conference, or final ALWAYS corresponds with the name of the map used.

I'm in. My first choice would be Italy, but if you have a lot of demand for Italy I'm willing to take a shot at Malta or Netherlands instead.

I have a question though: I see a good description of divisional play, but nothing about the format of conference play. Is that still coming, or did I miss it?

Thanks for the feedback:

The Conference format is league-specific, meaning it can be found in the individual League Spoils. Some division winners will not play in a Conference game.
