Creator, Director and Producer of MLPF WC PMVs
@Stellafera
She did a Stellar-fera job on these PMVs, am I right?!?! or am I right?!?!?! Stella worked with very short time frames in order to put these videos together for our enjoyment at the beginning and ending of the tournament. I don't know when we'll ever say "thank you" to her enough for both of them!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Tournament Tables
created the Group and Knockout Tables, and @Zhooves created the fonts and icons used for each entry on the charts

Commentary Trio and Peace-Keepers
@Frostgage, , and myself were asked by Sterling to attempt to provide commentary during as many matches as we could! Thanks guys for picking up the slack where I left it!
I'd also like to thank @ghostfacekiller39 specifically, and all the others who helped keep the peace during the matches while Sterling and I were absent. I know there were others that helped, but I can't bring myself to search through 400+ pages of commentary to find them! Sorry I can't name the others off the top of my head!

Character Jerseys
@Frostgage pulled these out of nowhere. I didn't even know he was doing them until they were all done! Now we just need to get them on the production line!!

Character Flag Design Team
By unspoken agreement with @Sterling Crimson, I became the Lead Flag Designer and Editor. Though I was not the first to participate in the making of these flags, I was heavily invested in making them tournament ready!! I'm grateful for those who joined in as the end drew near, for I was running out of steam creating so many unique designs by myself. (Honestly, I don't know how @Frostgage came up with 32 jersey designs so quickly by himself! *brohoofs*) Anyway, back to the flags:
I will list everypony with the flags they either conceptualized, drafted, created, finalized, or otherwise inspired. (Flags are in alphabetical order, excepting 7 at the bottom). I gotta say though, it feels somewhat trite having my name next to so many, but nopony helped for a while, so I did a lot of them!! haha (If my name is next to another's here, it means I either helped finish/finalize the design, or had the design described to me by them to have me make it)

Interviewees
Sterling took the time to interview a LOT of members here about their favorite pony, their involvement in the World Cup, and all the like. I don't have a list of all he interviewed, so I'll leave it at a BIG THANKS from Sterling and I for your willingness and eagerness with which you responded to the questions posed to you!
===================================================================

Fans & Participants
Lastly, to all y'all!! If it weren't for you, it would have been Sterling, myself, and a small group of others voting. Actually, without the dramatic increase in voters, Sterling was tempted on a few occasions to cancel this whole thing! THANK YOU FOR NOT GIVING UP ON IT Sterling!! And THANK YOU everypony for joining in so enthusiastically just at the perfect time to keep it from being abandoned!
We only had a hoof-full of posts that we considered undesirable for the tournament, and I'm grateful to the moderators for taking care of them promptly, and to those who we had to chat with for not completely freaking out about it. (Impressive for a thread sitting just 500 shy of 10,000 replies!!!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We started with only ~20-40 voters responding to pre-World Cup polls (Group of Death, Friendlies etc), spiking up to over 100 the first day of the tournament, and slowly rising up over 200 during the knockout stages, and finally, finishing with 313 votes in the final!!
Once again, THANK YOU for making this an EPIC tournament and supporting us in this endeavor! It was well-worth the effort!!
