The Rise Of Australasia

Years of experience as a monarch taught Arthur a simple truth: it is actually quite easy for a ruler to achieve something.

For example, if Arthur now wants to establish an internationally renowned sports event, all he needs to do is lift a finger, allocate funds, and there will be a large number of people working for Arthur, getting involved in the planning of this sports event.

In just one week’s time, a framework for the football sports event in Australasia has emerged, and the specific system is also under urgent discussion.

The duration of the sports event is relatively important. Since it is an international event, it cannot be a league.

After all, football associations from different countries will need to spend more than half a month to get to Australasia, so the competition should be relatively short.

After careful consideration, the football event held in Australasia was named the King’s Cup.

From the name, it is clear that it is a football cup specially held by King Arthur of Australasia.

The competition will last for about a month, and the specific time will depend on how many countries register to participate in the end.

To make the competition more international, participation must come from official football associations of each country, not private football clubs.

This means that the participating football associations will represent their respective countries, competing on the sports field to glorify their countries, and also to uphold their national dignity.

In this way, it is believed that the football associations that sign up to participate will take the event more seriously. If they win, it would be good, and if they lose, they would not only lose their own face but also the face of their fellow countrymen.

To attract more countries to participate in the football event, the prize money for the King’s Cup is also unrivaled by other events.

First of all, there are prizes for the top 10 teams in the King’s Cup, which is intended to encourage more countries to register and increase the enthusiasm of football associations in these countries. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

From 6th-10th place, the prize will be the same and is expected to be 12,000 Australian dollars.

5th place is expected to have 25,000 Australian dollars in prize money, which is already very substantial compared to 6th-10th place.

4th place is slightly higher, with a prize of around 36,000 Australian dollars.

As for the top three, the prize money is the highest. The third-place winner will have 50,000 Australian dollars, the second-place winner 88,000 Australian dollars, and the first-place winner a whopping 150,000 Australian dollars.

The King’s Cup prize money amounts to 409,000 Australian dollars. With the addition of the gold trophy for the champion and some commemorative gifts, the total cost is around 500,000 Australian dollars.

Compared to the prize money, the cost of hosting and promoting the King’s Cup is the highest.

The good news is that the Sydney National Stadium fully meets the needs of hosting such a football event, so there is no need to build a dedicated football field for now.

This saves Arthur a substantial amount of expenditure, allowing the saved budget to be spent on the promotion of the event.

In order to increase the enthusiasm of other countries to participate in the event, Arthur still decided to follow the example of the Sydney Olympics and cover all travel expenses of the participating countries.

After all, Australasia has its own shipping and air transportation companies, so the cost of round-trip transportation is not high.

Trading a relatively low spending to encourage other countries to sign up is a profitable deal.

To promote the King’s Cup internationally, it will take a long time to promote the event, providing enough time for football associations from many countries to register.

The first Australasian Football King’s Cup is expected to be held in October this year, just in time to avoid the winter of Australasia and facilitate the event’s organization.

The registration period will start in January 1920 and continue until May 1920.

Preliminary rounds of the King’s Cup will take place in late August and early September, with group matches and knockout rounds deciding the 16 spots in the main competition.

After all, the number of recognized countries in the world is not too many, and 16 spots in the main event are already more than enough.

Subsequently, in October, 16 teams representing their respective countries will compete in Australasia to determine the final winner. The champion will have the opportunity to be received by Arthur.

The schedule is generally designed as such, and with the preliminary schedule in place, the focus shifts to promoting the event.

To raise the international profile of the King’s Cup, Arthur spared no effort, instructing Butler Kent to mobilize all connections of the Australasian Royal Family to promote extensive media coverage of the event in Europe and America.

For Belgium, this is not good news. Belgians found, with tears in their eyes, that before the epidemic finally ended, their carefully-prepared Olympic Games have met with a strong rival.

Currently, the popularity of the Olympic Games worldwide is greater than that of the King’s Cup being planned in Australasia.

But the problem is that the winners of the Olympic Games do not have such rich prize money. Other than gold, silver, and bronze medals, most of the prize money for champions in the Olympics is given by their respective countries, not the host of the competition.

But with its relatively generous prize money, the King’s Cup held in Australasia alone is enough to attract a large number of national football associations to participate, which is something the Olympic Games couldn’t compete with for now.

Luckily, the King’s Cup is only an event aimed at football. Apart from football, it has basically no conflict with Belgium’s Olympics.

This could be considered as fortunate amidst the misfortune. Belgians immediately decided to reduce the importance of football and focus the core of the Olympics on other events to avoid being overshadowed by the King’s Cup.
