Euro Hockey League - Series 1 (Rosters/RP/Scores)

[North Chicanan]

Hello there from Port Augustine, located on the western coast of the Main Island of North Chicanan.

Yeah, we moved again. Tired of unpacking really.

Anywhoos...we'd like to welcome the 11 other states who will be joining North Chicanan for the first (again) Euro Hockey League in our lovely city, and hope to make for a splendid even that actually finishes this time.

First, the updates on qualifers. As it stands, we now are at 12 teams so there will be two groups of six competing in five matches during the group stage. The top teams from each group will advance to the semifinals while the second and third place teams will compete against each other in the quarterfinals.

Matchplay begins on Wednesday with first day scores being posted at 10am EST. Daily updates will be issued to keep everyone abrest of shifting time changes (ooc: Macy's is of the Devil and it's One-Day Sale time, so I have insane hours this weekend) of RP cut-offs and times to expect scores, but we should be able to keep at a good clip.

Group A and Group B will play at both the Port Augustine College Stadium and at Port Augustine Cricket Grounds, alternating dates between the two sites. College Stadium and the Cricket Grounds will be designed for two fields to be in play, with matches staggered throughout the day.

And now....The Groups!

OOC - I know the formation is messed up. The prebox is being stupid and I can't be bothered to fix it, cause I'm too lazy.

---------------------------------------TYLER---------------------------------------------------------------
                                         ----POWER (C)----
                     ----MARSDEN----                     ----WADE----

----BOND (VC)----    ----COX---- ----BEGUM---- ----HILL----  ----RILEY----  

                            ----ANDREWS----          ----WEST----

The team uses a 1-2-5-2 formation, although since Bond and Riley are Wingbacks, when they're required to run down to the defense, it changes to 1-4-3-2. At the start of a match the two are always up at the Midfield.

Style Modifier: +1

Unlike most Sweepers, the Darmen Sweeper is actually a Forward. When the Darmeni's are on defense, the Sweepers job is to pressure the ball handler into giving up possesion and force a turn over.

[North Chicanan]

As a heads up, Days 4 and 5 have been moved a day as tomorrow is a bit longer than I thought. Day 4 and Day 5's rp cutoff time will stay at 9am EST, but now will be on Sunday and Monday with the Quarterfinals on Wednesday, Semifinals on Thursday and the Finals staying on Friday. This will give teams today at least a longer posting period ^_^

AN OSN MESSAGE

A Message from the Director of Sports for Okunion Ron Carotti,
Dear fellow competitors, I don't know if you feel this way or not but the Bureau of Sports in Okunion feels that the Euro Hockey League wasn't as good of organzied that it could have been. I hope North Chicanan has no hard feelings against our nation, but this is just the way we feel. Good luck to all the teams of the future in this league as we have no wish as to join this league unless something changes. I think the limited number of rosters submited reflects our view.

[Darmen]

Darmen advances to Semis
The Darmen National Field Hockey Team(3-1-2) has advanced to the Semifinals of the Euro Hockey League Series One. Darmen will play against North Chicanan(4-0-1). It will be a tough and hard fouth match, but whatever the result, Darmen has done good.

[North Chicanan]

*is all confused about the concerns of Okunion but hopes future hosts will address them more effectively than apparently North Chicanan has? No harm no foul, just a bit confused...*

Semifinals (at College Stadium)
North Chicanan 4-7 Darmen
Cyborg Holland 3-1 Colmark

Grand Finals (at College Stadium, Friday)
Darmen v Cyborg Holland

[Darmen]

Darmen advances to Finals
The Darmen National Field Hockey Team has advanced to the Finals of the Euro Hockey League Series One. Darmen defeated hosts North Chicanan, 7-4. Darmen will play Cyborg Holland. Jeremy Albaladejo, the teams coach said, "I'm quite happy that the team has made it this far, and I hope we win." The Darmen Field Hockey Federation also released this statement, "We find no validity in the Okunion Bureau of Sports statement about the lack of organization of this tournament on the part of North Chicanan."

[North Chicanan]

At the Port Augustine College Stadium, two members of the Organizing Committee are having a coffee while watching the field be replaced for the final.

"So...what should we have done about their concerns?"

"What concerns?"

"Um...you know, their concerns!"

"Well, I think their concerns should have been addressed at the beginning of the tournament."

"But they said that was the problem!"

"So...we should have been more prompt in addressing their concerns."

"Understood. So, we don't start the event as quick as we did this time?"

"Yes, we give everyone plenty of time to release information to their national press."

"But no one covered the tournament."

"And clearly we need to allow more time between matches for coverage to the world."

"But it's field hockey."

"And you say that like it should not be treated with reverence."

"But...I mean c'mon John. You know we as a nation try and run a tournament on a prompt schedule."

"And now we know when we do we have to be more accomidating to all states."

"...John?"

"Yes David?"

"Shut up."

And with that, they return to coffee. The Grand Final's results will be up 1pm EST ^_^

[ooc: done in jest, North Chicanan is known for both prompt tournaments and holding a grudge at the slightest dig at the state ]

[North Chicanan]

After a surprise rainstorm hit the southwest corner of the nation for a good two hours, and after some hand work by the field crew of Port Augustine College (ooc: and after my internet finally came back on), we finally have a result of the first Euro Hockey League.

Cyborg Holland 2-3 Darmen

Congrats to Darmen as the inaugural winner of the Hockey League. and may the second one please everyone organizationally
