Maklohi Vai - The Paradystopi Lymryk Isles - AOCAF 42 Bid "South by Southeast" Scorination Done using the latest AO Rankings and with the most recent xkoranate. Time between scorinations There will be 48 hours between each group matchday, as per convention, and 48 hours as well in the playoffs with the exception of the third place match, which will take place 24 hours after the semifinals. Cutoff times will be announced at a later date. Location and RL Dates We'll be running the tournament on NS Sports rather than here. RL dates will be announced once signups have closed, or slightly before if we're confident in a target number. RP Bonus As always, quality over quantity, but don't expect a two line answer to the meaning of life to get you full credit. We'll grade on a 0-3 scale with no degradation. Format We seek either 32 or 40 teams, preferably, but are of course willing to adjust that if necessary. The best scenario calls for 8 groups with single round robin group play, and then the top two from each groups advancing to the round of 16. From the round of 16, playoffs proceed in bracket format as per convention. If teams finish with the same number of points, tiebreakers will be, in order: goal differential, head to head result, and head to head goal difference. If teams are still locked after this procedure, there will be a play-in match. Maklohi Vai Hosting Experience World Baseball Classic 27, Friendly Cups 7 and 9, Esportivan Autumn Festival Tennis (as Åsløtten-Bëðerbørg så Česky), Maklohi Vai Baseball Tournament 1, and football and baseball domestic leagues. The Paradystopi Lymryk Isles Hosting Experience Campionatio Esportiva VII (as Commune-PDTv2), World Badminton Championships 3 (as Paradystopia), Esportivan Autumn Festival Athletics (as Paradystopia), IRLCC (as Paradystopia with The Licentian Islands), and assorted domestic leagues. |

95X signs up. We'll win our second AOCAF Cup one of these days! |
Posted by: Vilita Oct 20 2013, 12:50 PM |
For the potential hosts - will you also be documenting the AOCAF results on the NS WIKI as many, but not all, prior hosts have done? |
Posted by: Maklohi Vai Oct 20 2013, 02:31 PM | ||
We'd love to do so, but unfortunately neither of us have any wiki experience whatsoever. If someone would be so kind as to show us the ropes, we would try our best to get up a page. |

Scorination The same formula as used in World Cup 66, but with a little more emphasis on RP bonus. The SQIS formula in Xkoranate will be used. RP Bonus No degredation, based mainly on the amount of effort put in to making the RP interesting and enjoyable. Quality, basically. Format The format will stick as close as possible to the traditional AOCAF/WC format, meaning five or less teams per group throughout eight or so groups. Under 40 teams is ideal, but over that figure is not a problem. After points earned, Head-to-head points will be the main seperator, followed by Goal Difference. After that, a game of scissors-paper-stone will be played in the centre circle, between opposing managers, with the winner being the one with the larger RP bonus. Hosting experience: Audioslavia co-hosted World Cup 66 just recently, along with The Inevitable Syndicate, and has co-hosted World Cups 7 and 25 in the past, as well as running two editions of the Jeremy Jaffacake Jamboree tournament. OOC timing Matches will be scorinated around midnight UTC (World Cup scorinations were at 11pm UTC. The change is to account for daylight-savings which will occur soon) every other day. Audioslavia's games will be scorinated by whomever is availble on #nssport at the time. The RP/rosters/scores thread will be posted in the NS Sport forum a day after voting is confirmed, the matchday one coming within that week. Finally, I *will* be updating the wiki after the tournament, but have zero wiki skills so it may be a rather... basic... page |

With Wight withdrawing his main nation and pre-Koselites from both the region and the tournament, I'm withdrawing Kjeligsted and the tournament will go ahead with 32 teams. Signups closed, guys! |
