Thanks for all the nominations. Sadly all of the nominated theologians cannot make it to the competition, but then Finland never made it to the Fifa cup, either. I know that some of you will be disappointed that you favourite did not make it, (and that Hick did!), but that's just the way it is... Like fifa, I may be slightly evil, but I'm still in charge here.
Blogger is, as you know, in a bad way, so I am unsure of what this will be like. I hope they clear up the problems soon. Anyway: here are the eight groups for the first round in the tournament. I used some very high tech random generators to create the groups, though I ranked some participants to make it more exciting.
I think we will see some very exciting matches already in the first round! Tomorrow, God and Bloggers servers willing, it all begins!

It will soon be Finland's year.
I'm bursting with excitement - how will the rounds work?
(Though also disappointed that no Aussies made it - oh well, guess I'll just have to support our theologians of the round ball...)
Let the games begin!
in keeping with world cup speculation, is there a group of death in this competition?
i think the augustine, gregory, and ephraim are particularly strong
I am very pleased to see that Hans Frei has made it, but he's up against big competition in his group with Jenson there and all...although he's got Lossky and McFague beat hands down!
Thanks Patrik!
Were my entrants too late to get into the tournament?
With PT Forsyth failing to make the final cut, I almost feel like giving up and just waiting for the rugby to start again. Not that there aren't other worthy teams to cheer for. Blow that whistle boy! Let's begin this game.
