| Maklohi Vai is in. Host bid is highly unlikely, but about a 1% chance it will happen. |

| Posted by: Leorudo Feb 3 2013, 10:02 AM |
| Scientists have concluded Leorudo winning the AOCAF is scientifically impossible. Challenge Accepted. |
| Posted by: Legalese Feb 3 2013, 02:22 PM |
| Yeah, I guess the Stan Thate tenure needs to begin somewhere. Legalese in. |
| Posted by: Valanora Feb 3 2013, 03:42 PM |

| Posted by: Audioslavia Feb 3 2013, 07:57 PM |

| Posted by: Austenersey Feb 4 2013, 01:14 AM |

| Valanora Bid for AOCAF39 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, 5, or 6, 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(s), wins, goals scored, and then a playoff match(es) 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). |

| The Settler-Colonists are back, after missing AOCAF 38 due to an embarrassing paperwork mixup -- or a brilliant piece of political maneuvering, depending on your perspective. |
| Posted by: Glascovia Feb 6 2013, 08:23 PM |
| Glascovia would like to make its debut at the AOCAF. |
| Posted by: Yelvoldia Feb 7 2013, 11:01 AM |

| Signing up! |
| Posted by: Lymryk Isles Feb 10 2013, 04:15 PM |
| Through the sign-ups, I had a quick view. And it reads like a World Cup who's who. Chances of a win Are incredibly slim But sign-up I'll most certainly do. |
| Posted by: Khytenna Feb 11 2013, 03:54 AM |
| Khytenna signs up |
| Posted by: Burchadinger Feb 11 2013, 07:25 PM |

| Posted by: Lemurian Feb 12 2013, 03:09 PM |
| I would love to participate! I would be unable to host however. |

| FROM: Austenersian Department of Sport, New Bellevue, Austenersey TO: The nations and governments of Atlantian Oceania Atlantian Oceania, The Commonwealth of Austenersey would like to bid for hosting rights to the 39th edition of the AOCAF competition. Our national league, the AUSLEAGUE, will monitor scoring with version 3.0.1 of the NSFS system. The competition will include groups of 4 - the number of which will be announced at closure of entries. A single round robin with groups will take place at venues across Austenersey, with the top two placed teams to advance. Tiebreaks will be decided be a playoff match, to be held in New Bellevue. Our venues:
Although this is our first time entering and bidding to host the AOCAF tournament, we feel that Austenersey can bring a fresh and vibrant experience to fans. |
| Posted by: Geisenfried Feb 14 2013, 06:52 PM |
| The GKFV will enter the national team in for another round of AOCAF. |
| Posted by: Valanora Feb 19 2013, 04:18 PM |
| Sign ups are provisionally closed at 36 participants, anyone else signing up beyond this point is not guaranteed a spot unless we reach 40 participants. As a result, the format will change to 9 groups of 4 with group winners and the 7 best second placed teams advancing, if it stays at 36. The tournament threads will be up upon the updating of the ranks. |

| I'm not sure what the puppet rules are for AOCAF but I have my indigenous First Nation of Pre-Koselites (who appeared in the last World Cuppet) who could be a makeweight if Valanora needs the numbers. The host's call on that, but it's there if needed. |
| Posted by: Farfadillis Feb 20 2013, 10:06 AM |
| I've also got Anksgaard as possible puppet if needed, but bear in mind it's very likely that I won't RP with it, still haven't thought of a good way of RPing those guys over there in NSSport. |
| Posted by: West Guiana Feb 20 2013, 12:33 PM |
| Also to help the cause I can volunteer my puppet Zomni, I might manage to rp with it. |
