Its been a long time since there was a regional domestic football/soccer competition. Seeing the NS-Wide competitions start up, I figured I'd post a thread here as well. (The Last AO CL was AOCL-4 won by Limbrogidila)

Does anyone have interest in one?


If so post 3 entries

1) League Champion / Highest Placed Team
2) Cup Winner or Alternative Team
3) Any third team you select



Every nation interested will be guaranteed 1 entry, 2nd and third entries will be added per some convoluted formula i will create if interest permits.



Entry Criteria:

A) All nations entering will be guaranteed their #1 entry in the tournament.
cool.gif The tournament shall feature a 32 team group stage with 8 groups.
C) If more than 20 nations submit entries, a preliminary qualification stage shall be added
D) To fill the required slots, multiple entries will be awarded to a nation based on the ranking coefficients or other factors.

I'm interested, but I do have a few questions that should be asked before we decide to do a full on revival.

1) If revived, are we going to have it run along the same schedule as the UICA events, with two per WC?

2) Who is going to be the scorinator and what are they going to use to scorinate?

3) Are there coefficients? If so, are we going to use those or start from fresh?

4) The method of choosing clubs for the competition should be left to the individual nations, not mandated, seeing as how in many instances there are multiple cups in nations domestic leagues or squads do doubles.

5) And where will this be hosted, on the AO forum or the NS one? I personally would prefer the NS forum, run in the IDSN, so as more nations from both the region and out of the region would see it.

Tentatively, I'll put forth my entries.

1) Hondo FC (League Champion)
2) Raynor City United (Navy Cup Champion)
3) FC Capri (Silver Cup Champion)

1) If revived, are we going to have it run along the same schedule as the UICA events, with two per WC?

--- I would say likely no, more like 1 per world cup.

2) Who is going to be the scorinator and what are they going to use to scorinate?

--- People who want to host can bid like classic events, the entries should be fairly limited (40 cap) to keep it manageable and easy to do with a classic World Cup style scorinator

3) Are there coefficients? If so, are we going to use those or start from fresh?

--- If there is interest, and I hosted (I'm happy for someone else to), I would probably do something like I did for the AOHC where coefficients were generated by nation based on performance in past AOCL's, AOCAF's and/or UICA having an input. However, the weightings would all be fairly small such that the Ranks will be fairly close, and performance in the AOCL V would dominate the rankings going into AOCL VI. That, or we can just use those factors to determine the number of teams each nation gets in, and we can start fresh with zero rank.

4) The method of choosing clubs for the competition should be left to the individual nations, not mandated, seeing as how in many instances there are multiple cups in nations domestic leagues or squads do doubles.

--- It is a Champions League, so I think the *guaranteed* Nation should be a some sort of champion, be it an actual league champion, or a nations highest finishing team in a multi-national league. After that, it can be any team, the "Cup Winner" part was just a suggestion.


5) And where will this be hosted, on the AO forum or the NS one? I personally would prefer the NS forum, run in the IDSN, so as more nations from both the region and out of the region would see it.

--- I would say scores would be posted on IDSN but any detail/matchday RP's should be in here.

1) I would prefer 2, if we are indeed doing a revival and not just something here and there.

2) Not in agreement with this, as shown by the UICA events, keeping it as a single host and scorinator program provides for the best consistency in keeping the tournament going as desired.

3) I'm really look at fresh rankings or for this tournament using a portion of previous AOCL's & UICA to create a base for this edition and then use this edition going forward. I think it seems the most fair since it has been ages since the last AOCL.

4) Agree that the main entrant should be the league champions.

5) Sounds find to me as well.

The Paripana Sporting Council is concerned that an Atlantian Oceania Champions League would require adding a large number of fixture dates to an already-congested schedule without producing a substantially different event from the existing Champions’ Cup, which has been won by a club from Atlantian Oceania twenty-seven times, including the last nine consecutively. It invites its fellow football associations to develop a format which would address this concern, and would like to not-at-all-subtly remind them that an event not including Paripanan teams, who hold a fifth of all world club championships ever, would not produce a true regional champion.

1) Well, considering its 3-4 months between world cups, 2 is fine if everyone commits. I didn't imagine having more than 1 AOCL every 2 months though, so if the pace of the world cup picks up... especially per this:

I would look at the AOCL as a special event, not a *must do every time there is gap in the world cup* event, Which is also why I invisions it more as a "true" champions cup with a hard cap at 40 teams, with a goal of something more like 32 entrants from 20 nations.

2) If someone wants to step up as a permanent scorinator thats fine, I'm happy to host it if needed to revive it, but I wouldn't want to commit to hosting it every time and then not be able to one time.

Yes, you may still submit 3 teams, however, note that it is likely that newer nations would be on the bottom of the list (first to have #3 and #2 clubs removed if we near a team cap)

Posted by: Borsola Jan 8 2012, 10:13 PM
I figured as much. Not a problem, and I'll submit these three clubs:

[LIST]
[*] CF Traian (won the top-tier Championship)
[*] Distrugatoarele de Estase (one of the capital's two football clubs; won the Binafone Speed Trials (a cup solely decided on shoot-outs) and did pretty well in the regular season of the Championship).
[*] Asociaţie Atletic de Edesă (won the second-tier League One).

There you have it. smile.gif

Falcanian Teams Enter Regional Contest - Sports Correspondent Jimmin Tarr


Boaris Alp, the Director of Sports & Culture, is proud to announce that the three highest-scoring teams in the first Falcanian High League are going to represent their nation in the AO Champion's League!

He had these words to offer at the press conference today.

"Little did we know at the start of the High League's first season, ten months ago, that football frenzy would hit the streets of our great nation. But what was once a loose conglomerate of corporate teams has been forged into a sporting institution - one that may, if we are lucky, rival that of our great neighbours in the region! My congratulations to the brave men of Integral, Associated Digital, and Goldmund-Teller, who will represent the Free Kingdom on the regional stage."

This is the first sporting endeavour the nation has engaged in outside its borders. As the highest-ranking three teams in the High League, the teams of Integral Technologies Incorporated, Associated Digital Limited, and Goldmund-Teller Energy Solutions, will represent us in the championship. Let's look at their profiles.

Integral FC
Integral stunned us this season with some of the highest-scoring matches we've seen. Who could forget the 4-0 victory over United Metal on the first day of the season? Since then we've also seen 5-0 against Inclusive, 6-1 against Icarus, and 4-0 against Ballacorp. Manager Tobi Worner has assembled a solid, well-rounded team, but the question remains to be asked; will they show us the flair they need to really push the game against a similarly matched foe? With long-time business rivals Associated Digital also through to the competition, this will be a crucial moment for Integral; both home and away, Associated Digital were the slightly better team, but Integral couldn't muster up the imagination to break the deadlock that cost them a goal each time. That worry aside, we are sure that these boys will make a good showing of themselves, as long as they learn from their mistakes. Look out for these chaps in the black and green strips.

Associated Digital FC
I've got a lot of time for the boys in the white and red. All season they made a very strong account of themselves; manager Wil Pankt notably scoured the unranked teams for players before the start of the first season, and he knew how to pick 'em. A solid team who know the field well, they made short work of OpPress, United Metal and Matsundai. They were very nearly league champions, notably beating rivals Integral twice, dragging the game out to 1-0 standoffs each time. It's clear that Pankt is a very astute manager, but not much for tactics; Gengrove turned a 2-0 lead for the Digital boys into a 2-3 loss, simply because Pankt failed to spot Gengrove's second-half substitutions. Their nose was bloodied by losing the title to Integral; they'll need to play smarter, not better, to clinch the title.

Goldmund-Teller FC
Erik Goldmund and Lori Teller took a personal interest in their company's team; both having played a little in their youth. An inauspicious start gave way to a series of landslide victories later in the season; and Goldmund-Teller became a fan favourite in the process. Their sledgehammer of a performance in their 4-1 win over Glowsnap saw a goalkeeper dribbling from goal-mouth to goal-mouth like the other team were playing in the schoolyard; the energy godfathers sold a lot of stripy blue and grey jerseys that day. Crowd-pleasing is one thing, however, but clumsy losses against OpPress and Airsweep won't butter any sausages. Less showboating and more consistency would do these talented players the world of good.

10 Nations signed up. I think at this point its safe to say this competition will go ahead, and this is now a signup/bids thread as opposed to simply an interest thread.


I would propose capping the entrants to 32 teams if there are 20 or fewer nations participating. If there are more than 20 nations signed up, I would expand the field to 40 teams.

I have no objections so far, do you want me to continue running the signups, or did you want to make an alternative proposal on format then what i've presented?

Posted by: Valanora Jan 11 2012, 01:09 AM
I think signups can be closed on Friday and depending upon the number of entrants, I'll likely go with 32 or 40. However I would be most appreciative, if I do end up being the host, of some sort of resolution to the ranks. Will make it easier (and fairer) to give certain teams byes if a field of 40 is used.

The Paripana Sporting Council agrees to enter three of its clubs into the fifth Atlantian Oceania Champions League on the condition that none of them are required to play in any preliminary stage. San Solari FC’s entry will be withdrawn if necessary to ensure the other clubs’ passage to the main stage. This will be the second appearance by Paripanan clubs in the AOCL; Yuba United claimed fourth place in the fourth edition played over eighty years ago, during the interregnum between the demise of the Bedistan Football Association and the establishment of the Élite League. Not entirely convinced of the necessity of such a competition, the PSC would be perfectly happy to wait another eighty years before the sixth edition.

Qidade Savana (Jasĭyun) — Élite League champion
Full name: Klube Qoqerálire Qidade Savana (Savana City Football Club)
Nickname: Roje’das (the Reds)
Home stadium: stádie:qs, Savana (capacity 104900)
Kit colors: Red and white stripes, red shorts

The least-venerated member of Paripanan football’s “Big Three” (a group completed by Yuba United and Sonoma Center Panthers), Qidade Savana won Élite League One for the tenth time in 2212–13. Their history is filled with backhanded compliments: they are the most successful club ever to be relegated from Élite League One, though they bounced back to win the second-division crown and earn a place in the first Series B Champions’ Cup. They twice suffered the greatest margin of defeat (4–1) ever seen in a Champions’ Cup final before finally winning the competition three seasons ago. Having also recently won the Globe Cup, Qidade Savana is currently at the top of the UICA club coëfficient ranking.

Sonoma Center Panthers (Capitalizt SLANI) — Élite League runner-up
Full name: Sonoma Center Panthers FC
Nicknames: the Panthers, SCP
Home stadium: Anaphase Alchemy Stadium, Sonoma Center (capacity 171337)
Kit colors: Black and blue halves, black shorts

With records dating it back to 1968, Sonoma Center Panthers is the oldest major football club in Paripana. Its glory days came during Capitalizt SLANI’s “Champions League” top-flight league, which it won nine times in eleven seasons before promotion to the International Association Football League, where it earned three Granite Conference titles but never the overall championship. Due to the complexity of this era’s multiple league, cup, and playoff competitions, Panthers supporters have a long-standing dispute with Yuba United over which club can claim the most trophies of various types in Paripanan football history. More recently, Sonoma Center has won twelve Élite League titles (second only to the Silver-Blues), and was known for its great many defeats in the semifinals of the Champions’ Cup before finally claiming its first and only world championship in 2196, becoming the only club ever to win the Globe Cup and Champions’ Cup in successive seasons.

San Solari FC (Capitalizt SLANI) — Paripana Open Cup champion
Full name: San Solari FC
Nickname: the Sky Blues
Home stadium: Silverbrook Stadium, San Solari (capacity 85254)
Kit colors: Sky blue with white trim, sky blue shorts

Four-time champions of the Bedistan Premier League during its latter years, San Solari are known primarily for their success in cup competitions. They have five Bedistani Cups to their name and won the inaugural Paripana Open Cup; their second Open Cup title has landed them in this AOCL. They reached the final of the old Champions League, the modern Champions’ Cup, the Globe Cup, and the Cygnus Cup, but hold the unenviable record of losing all four. Their only victory in a global competition final came in the Series B Champions’ Cup, which they reached as champions of Élite League Two. They won Élite League One many years ago, but few remember it.

It will depend on how many nations enter, so I would say, On saturday, I will post either 32 teams or 40 teams who have been accepted to the tournament.


If there are 32 teams, I would say a standard 8 groups of 4, top 2 advancing to knockout stages.


If there are 40, I would say 24 teams get byes to the group stage, and 16 have a play-in round.


So, on Saturday, I will post the Teams that have signed up, and note which 24 would have a bye to the group stage, if the 40 team format is used?

Posted by: Valanora Jan 11 2012, 10:09 PM
Sounds alright. I guess by that post though, we'll be going with complete fresh rankings and randomnes+RP as means for success in this new revival. Which I like, so, let's hurry up and get to Saturday! tongue.gif

While I don't think of a specific criteria for qualification to the next editions of this tournament, Cafundéu sends the top 3 teams of the national league in the previous season for this edition:

1- Cafundó do Juta

2- SC Lasft

3- Petardos S/A

Posted by: Kagdazka Jan 13 2012, 01:38 AM
I was just thinking we should get an AOCL of some kind put together. My idea was to have a much simpler tournament than a full out 'Champion's League,' as I have similar IC concerns as CH over fixture congestion. In the long term, I'll push for a very simple knockout cup with no group stage, and each nation being able to submit just one team. However, I'll certainly submit three teams here, based on the 5252 league finishes.

Gimnasia - 5252 KPFA League First Division Champion
City, Country: Gelendzhik, Kagdazka
Stadium: Gelendzhik Stadion (35,000 seats)
Nickname(s): The Gypsies, the Teal and Wisteria
Founded: 5201 (Pazhujebi calendar)
Manager: Zivan Zagorinski (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu)
Starting XI: GK Jimeno Arellano (Aguazul), RB Rkjhopxx Rhobkxmkk (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu), CB Itziar Amiso (Astograth), LB Yuri Utepov (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu), DM Lazhthuthezha Jujazhedhi (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu), RM Ratin Beenum (Stachland), LM Ole Berghaus (Polar Islandstates), RW Leon Sartelli (Krytenia), ST Lyonya Filipov (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu), LW Chalia Sajid (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu)

Once Gelendzhik's most popular club, Gimnasia fell upon hard times and for years flirted dangerously with a relegation that would have destroyed the team. In its struggles, it became a derelict shadow of its former self. The club's stadium, the Pit, once known as a fortress, was mostly empty on match day and was in complete disrepair anyway. However, ten years ago Unitopolitan newspaper tycoon Alakar Maxagonal bought the club and rebuilt everything. The Pit was abandoned in favor of the brand-new Gelendzhik Stadion which, while smaller, is a profitable venue. It has taken years, but slowly Gimnasia have put things back together piece by piece, until now, when they have become one of the best three clubs in the Federation. They have won titles in two out of the last three First Division seasons and have been victorious in two out of the last four Šenapatiam'ajat Vahavi (national cup) competitions.

Vulkan - 5252 KPFA League First Division Runner Up
City, Country: Gelendzhik, Kagdazka
Stadium: Yuzhniy Veter Stadion (51,000 seats)
Nickname(s): The Volcano, the Burgundy
Founded: 5222 (Pazhujebi calendar)
Manager: Šudhan Chahachim (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu)
Starting XI: GK Jenson Paulson (Saugeais), RB Eitan Andropov (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu), CB Pirdassia Bawuah (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu), CB Athaši Hu (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu), LB Tykaraije Makureru (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu), DM Inguma Sapano (Astograth), RM Yegor Obolensky (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu), LM Peregrina Thašighi (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu), AM Najazhghu Zeqhur (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu), ST Leonid Shcherbina (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu), ST Lucifer Andrea (Erathore)

The faithful fans of this historically lower-class team have embraced a rowdy and vocal supporters culture; if a player on the pitch is hit with a missile during First Division play, it's probably because his club are paying a visit to Vulkan. Verily, their stadium, Yuzhniy Veter Stadion, is without question the most difficult place in the league to play. The antics of Vulkan supporters often attract vociferous (and hypocritical) complaints from fans of other big clubs; their rowdiness allows other large misbehaving ultras groups to look angelic by comparison. Fans of smaller teams, however, are often secretly cheering for Vulkan as they see the team as a big club with a small club's heart. In 5246, the club hired the man who had won the last two First Division titles (with Juvapanam), Šudhan Chahachim. He changed the team's transfer policy and facilitated better relationships with players, and Vulkan are now amongst the league's three best teams.

FKM - 5252 KPFA League First Division Third Place
City, Country: CMZ Metropolitan Area, Kagdazka
Stadium: FKM Arena (69,000 seats)
Nickname(s): The People's Club, the Orange and Silver
Founded: 5203 (Pazhujebi calendar)
Manager: Nemešiabhi Ja (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu)
Starting XI: GK Baltabek Ignatyev (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu), RB Natasha Klossovskaya (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu), CB Aleksandr Onopko (Chetkosk), CB Zhavivi Qathif'ajuju (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu), LB Toivo Ulyanov (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu), RM Itzeder Unzueta (Astograth), CM Agoztar Gorstiaga (Astograth), CM Demyan Ilych (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu), CM Eduard Winogradsky (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu), LM Egoitz Malgor (Astograth), ST Olec Dasra (Swartaz)

Representing the larger metropolitan area of Chadan-Murmansk-Zanduznyy (the sixth-largest such area in the Federation), FKM can boast the largest fan support in Kagdazka. Throughout the club's history, the club has believed itself to be a scrappy underdog without the luxuries of any significant financial capital, relying instead on a virile youth system, not transfers. This, along with the club's tradition of 'beautiful football,' is partially why they have become so loved throughout the left-leaning Kagdaz populace. However, this self-image is completely delusional, as the club has plenty of money and is constantly involved in big-money wheeling and dealing. FKM skeptics tell a story of a mob of childish, self-indulgent, and ultimately hypocritical prosthelytizers hell-bent on the national implementation of a specific and highly limited brand of anti-tactical Kamikaze-ism. This football ideology is often accused of being murkily tied to the leftist political ideology of the team's fans and the team itself.

Well, if we have 32 Nations, each team could submit just 1 smile.gif


In order to facilitate signups, I asked all nations to submit 3 teams for consideration. However, I can assure you, not all nations will have 3 teams participating smile.gif The '3 Teams' request was made not knowing how many nations would be interested. Once 11 nations expressed interest, the number of teams being accepted per nation started to drop from 3.

Ideally we would allow 1 per nation, but the reality is its a + system. Some teams based on my convoluted formula will have more teams involved than others.

My feel is that it will be more like 2 per nation, right now, but anyone else who signs up should still submit 3, just in case.
