| QUOTE | | QUOTE | Scorination: Will be using the SQIS formula (not with xkoranate though, I'll be using the original version it was first scoranated on).
|
What benefit do you see in this?
|
The benefit I see from this is that as far as I can tell from the source of xkoranate, that it doesn't score extra time and penalties in the same way as the original version, and as the Q in SQIS I'd prefer to use the formula as originally intended.
| QUOTE | | QUOTE | Format: Group Stage (round-robin), followed by knockout phase. The knockout phase will depend on numbers of signups, with the 16-24 signups, the group stage will go into the quarter-finals, with over 24 the group stage will go into the round of 16.

How many round robin matches? Home and away or single-legs at a neutral venue (your nation)
|
I thought round-robin meant each team plays each other only once. So that is what I mean single-legs at at neutral venue in Carpathia and Ruthenia
| QUOTE | | QUOTE | Venues: Stadia will be announced in the RP thread.
|
Where will these Venues be? Neither Carpathia and Ruthenia or The Islands of Qutar is located on the AO Map, nor has a pending map claim to be added to the AO Map. One could question allowing a nation that has not competed in the previous AOCAF, nor has any land in AO currently, to be an IC host venue to its most prestigious competition. Also, your C&R Host bid appears to have been posted by your puppet, Qutar, adding to the confusion
|
These venues will be Stadia in Carpathia and Ruthenia, I'm quite happy to make a map claim if that would somehow help people's RPs, although I'm not quite sure how having the venues shown on a map in necessary for an RP.
Also my puppet doesn't have an account here, so I posted using my Qutar account although I think it's clear to everyone that Carpathia and Ruthenia are the IC bid nation. Also to be fair the AO forums are not exactly active and since we've been having the AOCAF RP threads on the Nationstates forums I was planning on doing the same, in which case the confusion would not happen. If however it is vital that we do it on the AO Forums can you make me a C&R account
| QUOTE | | QUOTE | Sign-ups: Since Pacitalia brought up the issue, I would be quite happy to delay the end of sign-ups for a week to allow as many participants as possible.
|
I doubt you will get many additional signups by waiting an additional week, this is not an open signup tournament, those nations that wish to join will join, and those that won't are either not currently interested, or inactive.
|
Well we certainly wouldn't lose any signups by waiting.
| QUOTE | | QUOTE | RP Bonus: Will be a degrading bonus, with the last two RPs contributing to the bonus, combined with a separate non-degrading bonus for the roster.
|
So in this, could a nation say, RP twice before the Cup Begins, then, not RP again the rest of the cup, and maintain their High-Bonus? Is it truly the last two RPs, or simply RPs from the previous two matchdays? Either way, I'm not sure of the benefit to either system. Capping RP bonus isn't a horrible idea, but its not clear how you are planning to do it here.
|
Sorry should have made this more clear, by last two RPs I meant on the last two matchdays.
I'll explain more now, there will be a max RP Bonus of X KPB, and in your example if someone did a perfect RP at the beginning and never RPed again they'd have X KPB points in their bonus on MD1. Then the next matchday they'd have X/2 KPB points, then following matchday they'd have X/4 KPB points, then on MD4 they would have no bonus.
