- Nations may announce a tentative schedule for their tours but the WCC retains the right to change them to regulate the calendar

Upgrades

Teams can earn the following upgrades during the 2002 FTP season:-

Spoiler: Tours

Bilateral Series

- [ 2 ]

upgrades for winning a bilateral series with 5 to 8 matches in it

Arranging Tours

You can arrange tours via PMs, DMs and in threads outside of WoC, but they aren't considered official until all managers involved agree to it in this thread.
You can arrange tours that seep into the 2003 FTP season; they will take away from slots available to you from that season instead of the ongoing 2002 one.

You can only arrange tours and/or tournaments available here. Use this form to make the process easy:

The 2002 season is underway! All of the rules and guidelines are available in the posts above. If you wish to not take part (for whatever reason), you can simply ignore this message. This will be the only tag you receive all year unless you choose to play cricket. You can also choose to schedule your games sometime later if you wish, there will probably be free slots available in the new FTP calendar.

Happy FTP!
