OOC: KPB raised you. That's why I dropped from 7th to 8th (originally 11th until Star fixed the standings) despite winning second place in AOCAF XIV.

THE LOWLAND CLANS AOCAF XV BID

GROUPS & FINALS
  • There will be four groups, number of teams in each group is contingent of the number of teams
  • Should their remain 20 teams signed up, a TLC AOCAF would go straight to the quarter-finals, with the top two teams from each group qualifying, but should 4 more teams sign up, then the Finals would include a round of 16.
  • Tie Breakers will be head-to-head, goal differential, goals foe, goals against, in that order. In the rare instance that all of these remain the same, then a special tie-breaking game will be played before the next round.
  • Finals will obviously have no draws, and go to extra time and then to penalties

RP BONUS & SCORINATION
  • The AOCAF will be scorinated with NSFS v2.0, using the latest AORanks
  • Style modifiers WILL BE INCLUDED, with a range of -5 to 5
  • All Teams that post a roster will be given a small but permanent ranking boost
  • RPs will be calculated on a combination of length and quality, and will continue to count until they, like rosters, will count for a small but permanent increase into your RP Bonus

Stadia
City International Stadium
Location: Graham City, Capital District
Capacity: 110,000

The Allied States finest stadium, City International is considered the epitome of stadium design in the Allied States. The second largest in the country, the accoustics were specifically designed to increase noise level, meaning that most opposing teams struggle in this building. The concessions are also considered some of the best deals period.

New Trafford Field
Location: Machester, England
Capacity 100,000

Built to replace the aging Old Trafford in Manchester, New Trafford is designed to replicate the homey atmosphere of the ancient stadium. Thanks to the stone used in the building material, New Trafford is often referred to as the Castle, and the pubs in the stadium are downright the best in the Allied States

Limassol Memorial Stadium
Location: Limassol, Cyprus
Capacity: 90,000

Built as a memorial to the soldiers who died fighting for Cyprussian independance, several galleries are dedicated to the history of the island and the war to free it from Abu-Dhabi Khristatatan tyranny. A moment of silence is held before each game to commerorate the freedom received thanks to the soldiers of the Allied States.

Nicosia City Square
Location: Nicosia, Cyprus
Capacity: 50,000

One of the most unique stadia around, the acutal pitch is situated in the center of the city's downtown core, and is ground level and sits in the middle of the major thoroughfares of the city. When official matches are played, the thoroughfares are cleared and terraces placed all around the field, and the surrounding buildings have transformed themselves into open-aired restaurants with in house announcers and excellent food and views of the field.

Pairc Ui Caorih
Location: Cork, Ireland
Capacity 75,000

Remarkable in it's simplicity, yet regarded by all who play their as one of the best pitches in the Allied States. The field is cared for meticulously by the groundskeeper, Boothby, who's been there for as long as anyone can remember.

The Clover
Location: Dublin, Ireland
Capacity: 125,000

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
Location: Madeira, Portugal
Capacity 75,000

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.
