World Korfball Classic I (EVERYTHING)

Postby Shadowbourne » Mon Oct 22, 2012 6:08 pm

This is the official sign-up thread for the first legitimate korfball tournament. Such a tournament was originally attempted by Lymantatia, but failed due to a lack of RP opportunities and an effective schedule. The KorfBowl GUARANTEES players one day to RP for the each match in the first round, with two days for the Final Four and Championship stages. The 8-team tournament (single elimination, two matches per stage) will be randomly seeded and scorinated using the latest version of xkoranate. If you have any interest, just say so below. Rosters are accepted but not required. The "World Korfball Championships" may have been a failure, but the KorfBowl WILL succeed.

RPs bonuses will be scored as follows:

1-Excellent RP
0.75-Pretty good RP
0.5-Average RP
0.25-Bad/One-Liner RP
0-No RP

Skill will be standardized, as this is the first event of its kind; in this tournament, RP is key, so make sure you take it seriously.

There are 16 spots and it will be scorinated using the latest version of xskoranate. I said this in the blurb-thing.

I was in Lymanthias first edition of the thing and I must admit, it could be hardly worser than this.
So I'm in, after all sometimes people should give niche-sports a chance.

I appreciate your intentions, as I was a participant in the failed attempt. However, you say this will succeed. HOW do you guarantee that?

No. I will host the first KorfBowl, and if it is a success, I will accept hosting bids next time around. This thread is for signups for the actual tournament.

Because I have a legitimate plan and reasonable expectations. The guy who ran the first one tried to get forty-some odd participants, which was just not realistic, and he allotted almost no time for RP.

Sign up maybe? :)

None hosting, just scorinating friendlies, but you have to start somewhere, right?
And I have participated in two tournaments.

Korfball is a sport invented in the Netherlands 100 years ago.
It's a mix of Handball and Basketball and includes mixed teams of men and women which makes them a good school sport.

No, as this is the first actual tournament of its kind. So RP is everything this time around.
