Help[Games] International CAF: A Judged Tournament
Welcome to International Create a Family!
If you would like to play International CAF, simply sign up below by posting a response. Once you have signed up, I will respond by providing you a group of countries or languages that you are to use for the names of the members of your family (The groups and applicable languages are listed below). A new thread will be posted, in which I will provide the family template, judging criteria and specify the date when the thread will be closed for judging. So, here in the introduction thread, simply sign up, and once I assign your group, start brainstorming! The group assignments will be completely random, but if you have a strong preference for any one group, indicate it in your response, and I will see if I can accomodate you (to make sure all the categories are even).
Sign Ups end March 27, 2008, 8AM EST (New York City Time)

Disclaimer: For the sake of grouping, I have lumped many countrie together, sometimes along language lines, sometimes along geographical lines. I realize that to maintain a generally equal pool of names for each group, I may have forced together two completely different cultures. I apologize, but I did need to keep the groups to a minimum.
