Here it is! The sixth edition of NationStates College Football. Here you will find Rosters for your opposition, and all RPs should be posted here too.
Any questions should be posted in the discussion thread, to avoid OOC clutter, please. Failing that, feel free to send a telegram to either myself, or any other conference host.
There are a few changes this time around, so if you're a returning team, please read carefully. New teams, welcome!
The NSCF procedure is outlined here.
There will be seven conferences this season; Big Eight, Horizon, Mineral, Sequoia, Woodlands and Equinox return, with the addition of the new Celestia conference. Each conference will have six teams, and the regular season will be double round-robin, for a total of 10 games. Games will be scorinated three times a week, on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please check your conference for a projected RP cutoff time. Scores will be posted in this thread.
After all ten regular season games, there will be an out-of-conference week, with each team playing up to three games against opposition from other conferences. These games will not count toward conference championships, but WILL affect playoff seedings. All OoC games must be arranged by the teams playing them, and confirmed by the end of the first week of the regular season (matchday three).
The playoff format is fourteen teams -- conference champions plus the next best five by OSPI, and two selected by the NSCF committee -- in a seeded, three round, single-elimination bracket. Seeds for the playoffs will be determined purely by OSPI, and the higher seed will have home advantage until the final, which will take place at a neutral venue yet to be decided. Any nation can put together a final hosting bid, before the start of OoC week, to be voted on by the NSCF Committee.

** Artheim Imperial Academy replaced at the final hour by Coastal Carolina University. The Kryosi college, it turned out, had miscalculated the maturity of their clones -- someone carried a one and added a remainder where they weren't supposed to, or something like that -- and they were in fact ineligible to take part in collegiate competition. They have stated their intent to enter next season, however.
