| eh, ok |
| Posted by: Mangolana Apr 23 2014, 03:02 PM |
| Mangolana is in for their first |
| Posted by: Mastille Apr 23 2014, 07:07 PM |

| *waves at everyone else* Here to get stomped. |
| Posted by: Schiavonia Apr 23 2014, 07:19 PM |
| Schiavonia will return. I very much doubt there will be a hosting bid - despite our expansion, there are still only 7,000 Schiavones, and there are only three football grounds, the largest of which will be for 10,000. Not conductive to hosting a major regional football championship. |

| We will continue our futility. |
| Posted by: Ko-oren Apr 25 2014, 06:13 AM |
| In! |
| Posted by: Starblaydia Apr 25 2014, 07:05 AM |

| Thatius is in once again! |
| Posted by: Farfadillis Apr 25 2014, 03:07 PM |
| Defending champions back. We might find it hard to find proper press coverage, but we're in nonetheless. |
| Posted by: Ibex Apr 25 2014, 04:58 PM |
| Maybe I'll actually RP this time! |
| Posted by: Blouman Empire Apr 25 2014, 10:01 PM |
| Blouman Empire signs up |

| It is inevitable that we sign-up, so Nellietopia is signing-up pre-emptively. Whomever decides to host this darned thing accepts any responsibility for damages caused by Nellies and/or people running away in fright/panic/confusion/delight. |
| Posted by: 95X-Scottfire Apr 26 2014, 09:55 AM |
| 95X in. (Can anyone else believe it's been 6 RL years since AOCAF 22?!) |
| Posted by: Cosumar Apr 27 2014, 12:32 AM |
| Cosumar will return |
| Posted by: Audioslavia Apr 27 2014, 01:25 AM |
| In, if only to deny the Syndicate a 'lucky' seventh go. |
| Posted by: Legalese Apr 27 2014, 11:41 AM |
| Back, in what I believe is my 40th cycle since my first go round. |
| Posted by: Ratastan Apr 27 2014, 02:54 PM |
| The mice are ready for their first go. |
| Posted by: Osarius Apr 27 2014, 03:01 PM |
| YAASSSSS the kids will be there, in some shape or form. |
| Posted by: Equestrian States Apr 27 2014, 03:07 PM |
| We'll be there. |
| Posted by: West Guiana Apr 27 2014, 04:00 PM |
| As promised after AOCAF 43 WG will be succeeded by Unolia, that is the Unolian Kingdom. |
| Posted by: Naitpyge Apr 28 2014, 02:16 PM |
| Naitpyge in! |
| Posted by: Weimania Apr 28 2014, 07:43 PM |
| Weimania returns |
| Posted by: Mochria Apr 30 2014, 07:20 PM |
| Mochria is in for their first one! |
| Posted by: New Montreal States May 2 2014, 08:43 PM |
| I guess we'll sign up. |

| Valanora Bid for AOCAF 44 With what do you intend to use? The board of trustees of the VFA and VSC have agreed to use to the hosting technology known as NSFS, version 3.0.1.A(CH modified version) with styles allowed to be ultra conservative (-5) to ultra attacking (+5) for all associations wishing to participate in the competition. How? The preferred format is to be of 8 groups of 4 or 5 depending upon which final number of competitors there are, though other formats will be considered per sign up numbers. They would participate in a single round robin, each team playing each other once in Valanora, with the group winners and runners up of each group advancing. Tiebreakers should teams finish on the same amount of points will be used in the following order: goal difference, head to head result, goals scored, and then a playoff match if the tie has yet to be resolved. Incentive to participate? The association believes that participating in the tournament enriches the tournament and the nations involved in it and are ready to properly reward participation. Without revealing my methods, the rewards in my simulations have proven that those with consistent participation have their chances of success increase significantly over those who choose not to participate at all. A one time reward will also be given to all associations that provide the organizers a roster in which to provide the fans and other associations in their respective competition groups. You done this before? Valanora has a plethora of hosting experience, having hosted WCC events no less than eight times, as well as other major tournament (such as the DBC and WCoH and a previous AOCAF). |
