[Frenline Delpha]

Well, I am thinking lady luck hates me.

[Frenline Delpha]

The only game one RP, and the only 0-2 record!`
Also, here is my previously buried Bowl Game suggestion:
Bowl Game Suggestion

Snakeskin Wars Memorial Bowl sponsored by Crispy Butter Toilet Paper

4th Ranked from Celestia/Horizon vs. 4th from Mineral/Woodlands
(The greater rank of the two "opposing" conferences by OSPI will receive first invite. If they decline, the other nation will be invited.)

Horse-Fill Arena; Bloodbenderopolis, Frenline Delpha
Capacity: 94,630

I assume this would be okay, but I thought I should check first. I would like to include press coverage from one of my puppets(Congo and Zambezi River Wilderness, alternately renamed just today as simply Congo and Zambezi) which has a player on my team. I know I could post it from my main, but ICly I feel a more compelling reason to post from either of those accounts. Any objections?

Personally, I wouldn't have any objection, but I'd suggest making sure that whoever is scorinating your conference is aware that you're RPing from that nation to ensure that you get an RP bonus for it.

Mmm. Your conference scorinator here.

I'm entirely fine with you posting as C&Z. Go ahead!

Thank you. There are still storylines that need to develop before I would want to unveil the press coverage, so it may be closer to mid-late season. Still, it was on my mind, and may(?) impact how the storyline develops along the way.

I'll be sure to post an OOC note to remind all parties in the current season of who the heck C&Z is.

Edit: I don't know what is up with my quote feature...that is the second one tonight it has not posted correctly.

[Frenline Delpha]

I am now beating my head against the keyboard in frustration. 0-3! Oh and bloody-3. Arrrgh!

[Banija]

Starting the season with 3 straight shutouts has to be some sort of record

I could probably check that for you, actually... remind me later. I have a database of all NSCF results somewhere. Need to update it with last season's numbers anyway.

I think the record for best defensive record across a season was something like 4.5 ppg allowed, though. Good luck!

It was a good while before the Matadors allowed any points last season.

[Osarius]

For the curious, here is the all-time standings sheet. Every result so far should be in there (including this season). I haven't finished updating the conferences for some past games, and I haven't checked ALL my calculations (yet) but this is what I've been building up over the past however many seasons.

I intend to implement an Elo calculation and all-time OSPI eventually. Trying to find the best way to do it first. Some other stats will be added over time, too (like Avg PD per game, streaks, etc) as well as a bunch of other things that are currently missing because I haven't had time.

Wow, there is a lot of data compiled on that sheet. Thank you for this.

Indeed. Very cool to look through.

[NSCF]

The list of non-conference games should be updated.

While the deadline was supposed to be tomorrow, I will be extending it until after Matchday 6 as the list was not updated in a timely manner.

[Frenline Delpha]

I have now listed my sponsor for the Snakeskin Wars Memorial Bowl.
it's about time I win a game. Finally!

[Barunia]

I just realised that when I was copy/pasting KMU's roster over from last season, I appear to have deleted their style mod. I thought those scores looked a bit odd for a defensive team.

Free Republics*, could you change KMU's stye mod to -3 please? Thankyou.


*or HRE, or whatever the name is at the moment.

Mineral Conference

OOC Note: I will get a picture soon. My iPad is buggering out, so I have to wait 'til I find a computer.

[NSCF]

Since the one bid for the NSCF Championship Game was posted after the MD10 cutoff, the deadline will be extended until the end of non-conference play to allow time for other bids.

I should note that hosting the NSCF Championship Game is IC-only and that the game itself will, like all non-conference and postseason games, be scorinated by the commissioner, unless one of the commissioner's schools is participating in it (in which case, it will be scorinated by a third party scorinator chosen at the discretion of the commissioner).

[Valanora]

Bowl Proposal

Vahalla Bowl sponsored by Viella Incorporated
Venue: Lathalein Celestial Stadium, Mar Sara, Valanora
Contested by: 2nd/3rd Zephyr v 3rd Celestia

[Banija]

I wasn't going to bid to host the NSCF championship game, due to my very limited scorinating abilities(I'm still learning how to xkoronate my domestic league). But if I'm not required to scorinate, then may as well.

Liberty Stadium: Istria, National Capitol Region


Capacity of 70,000.

IC information: This is part of the bid to further integrate Banija into the NSCF, and to further grow the support and the league in Banija. With bringing the NSCF title game to Banija in their first ever season in this league, then that will bring a great opportunity for fans to see other teams besides just Northern Moravica, which will help grow the league and league revenues as fans in Banija continue to watch the NSCF.

[Barunia]

Bowl Proposal

Frontier Bowl

To be played between 2nd/3rd Horizon & 2nd/3rd Woodland

Location: Blackrock Stadium, Newland, West Barunia
Capacity: 80,000

Karl Marx University, along with the Ministry of Sport, invite colleges from the Horizon and Woodland conferences to compete in Barunia. The purpose of this bowl is to further the sport of gridiron, or "football", in this country, and to give Barunians a chance to see some top quality teams go head to head. To this end, the game will not be played in Samford, at KMU's modest ground, but in Newland, at the country's largest indoor stadium. Blackrock stadium has played host to domestic finals in both football (aka soccer) and (field) hockey, as well as formerly being used for World Cup qualifiers. The field has not had any gridiron played on it before, but has been selected as it can easily be adapted to suit.

The Bowl does not have a corporate sponsor, for the simple reason that any such sponsorship would be illegal under Barunian law.

[The Isles of Azoria]

Saint Michael University will like to play one more non-conference game to fill the final non-conference game slot. It would be for the final NC-game slot. Anyone interested?

I believe that you can no longer schedule non-conference games.
