The Final Foot Championships are legally described as "An attempt to find the best team in the known worlds at a series of foot-based ball games with many similarities and some slight rule deviations" as described in the charter of the organization (a joint venture between the Gudersnipe Foundation and the Trans-Draconic Federation).

The problem: throughout the known worlds, the most popular sports involve two teams attempting to kick a round ball into a net. All the deviations of this are similar enough that the games can be played together. The three main games include:

  • Soccer - played throughout the Alliance territories and extremely popular
  • Football - identicle to soccer, just named differently. This version is largely played within the Gudersnipe Foundation and associated control zones.
  • Foot Kort - a game with origins among Necromancers which evolved in parallel to become indistinguishable from the other two games. The only core distance has to do with the way some of the scoring works; however no real game strategy revolves around this. While is technically possible for two teams to play the same game, with one being scored according to foot kort rules and the other soccer/football rules, and get different outcomes; in practice the scores are usually similar as to make no odds.

In practice, nearly all participants play either Foot Kort or some derivative of soccer. There are extremely brutal arguments over which sport is which, that have made the peaceful and fun activity much more difficult than it needs to be.

Final championships are held once every six years, usually at a completely newly-constructed venue often times in the middle of nowhere. In person fan attendance must be kept limited due to potential clashes over the sport being played.
