This match is inspired by the same contest host by Justin FitzPatrick (ShoeSnob) and Jesper Ingerversen (Shoegazing), as Justin told, this match will be Europe centered, and no plan to be in China in a short time. So I think to host a China Branch is not a bad idea.
Below are the rules for the contests, hope more ambitious bespoke sheomakers can join.
