The Mathdon Falcons once again hope to be representing their country, mainly because their blunders are making a fortune on late-night cable "Nation's dumbest moments" shows.

Scorination & RP Bonus
Scorination will be done on NSFooty Sim using point-based rankings. Tournament rankings will be based on base AORankings and RP Bonus collected throughout the Cup. RP Bonuses will be staggered, with the three previous matchday's RPs counting for your rank. The RPs for the current matchday count 100%, then the previous day 50%, then the second-previous day will count 25%. This is designed to encourage continual RPing throughout the cup. The actual bonus will max out at 10 ranking points per matchday meaning the maximum you can add to your ranking point total will be 17.5 points from RPing matchdays. Rosters will be graded on a five point scale, and each point will be worth an increase of ten percent in your base ranking points.
e.g.) Let's say Druida's roster scores 3 out of 5 points, so his base ranking points are worth thirty percent more. In numbers, this means that his (24.86 * .3) + 24.86 = 32.18, or his new base ranking points. Then for matchday 4, he's scored 8 points, for MD3 9 points, and MD 2 7 points, so his total RP bonus is worth 8 + (9 * .5) + (7 * .25) = 14.25. Added to his base ranking points, his ranking points for MD5 become 46.43, almost double his old base points!
The RP bonus will be composed of two parts, quantity and quality, each out of a five point scale. Quantity will be scaled by 150 words per level. Quality will obviously be based on quality of writing in the RP, the originality of it, the use of opponents rosters and previous RPs, good breadth like covering the happenings of the whole cup as opposed to just your team, even just the scorelines, little things like that.

The newest stadium in the Allied States, shaped like a clover when seen from the air, and also happens to be the biggest stadium ever constructed in the Allied States. Though only around for a short time, the fuzzy green clover mascot and the great beer have made this place a fan favorite.
Lisbon Beach
Location: Lisbon, Portugal
Capacity 80,000

The Beach is situated close, to obviously, the beach. Built not far from the Port of Lisbon, the Beach is considered the most beautiful stadium in the Allied States, with great football weather almost seventy-five percent of the year and beautiful surroundings, it's not uncommon to have families spend all day at the beach, then spend the night watching some prime football.

The Island is a tropical, open air stadium built on the Island of Madeira, and considered one of the best overall stadia in the nation. Excellent groundskeeping, great football, excellent, well-lit halls and field, and location mean that win or lose, everyone loves spending a day at the Island.
