The Lion Cup: Battle of the Religions (results, RP thread)

by **Menukten** » Mon Mar 24, 2014 2:05 pm

Menukten, in concert with the regions Rasta Narnia and The Interfaith Ecumenical Council are sponsoring the first International Lion Cup, a friendly competition between religious organizations for the eponymous trophy which shall be hosted by Haile Selassie IV (OOC: a puppet of mine) on the beautiful tropical island of Rasta Narnia. The tournament is an amateur competition in which four monasteries ( or churches, mosques, temples, synagogues, ashrams or other religious organizations) from a certain country enter and compete separately for the championship. The tournament in non-UICA, so it won't effect your country's international rankings, and completely amateur, so no professional teams allowed, please. The teams must also belong to a religious organization as defined by your nation's statutes. Secular clubs are not allowed to enter.

History

The Lion Cup was originally a friendly annual soccer competition between Rastanarnian monasteries that played for the coveted eponymous trophy. The tournament was started as a way to honor Jah Lion Aslan with a sporting competition. The tournament is several decades old and a firm part of Rastanarnian culture. The tournament is so popular that the Rasta Narnian government has declared the game day of the final match a regional holiday. The site of the final game, which is free to all spectators, always grows considerably larger during the tournament, with hole cities of tents springing up around the stadium like mushrooms after a thunderstorm, and the air hazy and pungent with the smell of ganja.

Trophy

The champion will be awarded the Lion Cup trophy:

The winning team shall also receive the following badge:

Purpose

The administrative board of Rasta Narnia's Monasterial League have decided, in consultation with The Interfaith Ecumenical Council, to open up the traditionally Rastanarnian tournament to the world. The purpose is to allow practitioners of different religions to meet and interact with each other outside of academia and ecumenical meetings in a friendly and fun football competition. The organizers hope that the tournament will help nurture peace, understanding, and harmony between the world's different religions and that participants will meet each other first as fellow lovers of football, rather than members of a different religion.

Hosting Situation

While Menukten is introducing the tournament to the world, Haile Selassie IV shall be hosting it. Further IC information will become available if it becomes obvious that people are interested in the tournament.

Format

Each nation will contribute four teams from religious organizations in their nation to the tournaments. The teams may all represent the same religion, or different ones. The tournament will start with a double round robin group stages, the number of groups dependent on how many nations sign up. Those in the bottom of the groups will be eliminated. The tournament will then progress to knock out stages, and then on to the finals.

Eligibility

Only amateur and expressly religious soccer/football clubs are eligible to enter the tournament. Religious universities. seminaries, and high schools are also eligible.

Sign ups

Sign ups will close April 1st. Nations may sign up with the following formula:

Code: Select all: Nation: Trigram: Religious Clubs: (please include style modifiers for each club and what religion they represent) My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following: Choose my goalscorers: Y/N Godmod Scoring Events: Y/N RP injuries to my players: Y/N Godmod injuries to my players: Y/N Godmod harsh technical fouls resulting in ejection of my players: Y/N Godmod Other Events: Y/N

Only sign ups with four religious clubs will be accepted. Nations may enter a puppet, if it is declared.

Scorination
I will be using xkoranate association football NSF3-style with style modifiers and RP bonuses.

Competency

I'm new to sports roleplaying, but I've been on nationstates off and on since 2010. However I know many of you will have concerns about whether a newbie like me would be competent enough to host a tournament. Some of you might say I should gain the trust of the community first by entering competitions and with solid RPing before doing this sort of thing. These are legitimate concerns. However I think that a strong showing of my creative capabilities that hosting a tournament reveals would as do much to increase the currency of trust I will receive in this community than several months of laying low and entering the occasional tournament. However, don't take my word for it. Judge for yourself. If you are interested in the tournament, take the risk and join and see if I make a good showing.

I am currently running several domestic leagues (which in most cases are of obscure sports, which is one of the themes of The High County's sub-regions) which you can find here, here, and here.

To allay some concerns, I will run a mock up of the tournament below.

Are university teams allowed/count as amatuer?

(TIP: using the (pre)(/pre) tags is better than the code tags IMO)

Good question. Yes, I would personally consider universities amateur and if the university in religious (as is yours), then they are free to enter. I will update the OP to reflect this.

Thanks for the tip on the tags, I will try it out!

Everything in Gregoryisgodistan, including all universities, is controlled by the government. The government and religion are one and the same, since all citizens are required to worship our leader as a God. Therefore, technically speaking every university in Gregoryisgodistan is affiliated with the Church of Gregoryisgodistan. Does that mean we can pick any of our colleges? Or does it have to be an institution dedicated to religious study, like the Church of Gregoryisgodistan Religious Seminary, where you go to study to be a Worship Leader?

Edit: By "skill modifier" do you actually mean "style modifier"? Also, what rankings will be used? You say 15 percent RP bonus, but if no rankings are used and everyone gets 0, 15 percent of 0 is still 0.

*Jefferson is not offcially a Llamisticist university, but over 28.7% of it's student body declared itself as Llamistic in a recent poll. Llamisticism is the belief that llamas rule over all.

My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:

In your case all universities would be eligible, since they are all religion-affiliated, though institutions specifically dedicated to religious studies would be more in keeping with the spirit of the tournament. If you do send teams from seminaries not specifically dedicated to religious study, we hope that the teams will still enter ecumenical nature of the tournament.

Good catch, I've fixed that. There will be no rankings so skill will be determined by the excellency of your RP.

by **Menukten** » Tue Mar 25, 2014 7:53 pm

Teams from both Super-Llamaland and The Holy Forden Church accepted.

Looking forward to meeting The Church of Forden's college of Cardinals on the pitch (I'm picturing a squad of 80 year old Italians wheezing their way up and down the field as they try to keep up with the younger competition)!

This is fine as long as the members of the team are Llamistic and part of a religious group or club at the university that forms the basis of their team.

We'll throw our hat into the ring:

Ein Savlanoot - Haredi College
Chaialim - Professional Club in Milchama that only has Jewish players (in the same way that Athletic Bilbao only has Basque players)
Mayim Mesorti - Amateur Club made up of entirely Mesorti Jews
Hapoel Alexandria - Socialist secular zionists.

Could you please provide me with your nation's trigram as well as style modifiers for each team and a list of RP permissions? Also I'm afraid this tournament is purely amateur, so Chaialim is not elligible. Could you send someone else in their place? Otherwise, accepted.

We have 24 teams competing currently; sign up will be cut off on April 1st.

I'm afraid only 4 clubs are allowed from each team, however we are short one berth from another nation who hasn't gotten back on me about replacing one of their professional teams with an amateur one. If they don't before the end of signups, I will be able to accept all five of your teams.

Nevertheless you may wish to decide which club you would like to withdraw from competition.

by **Menukten** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 7:48 am

I've decided, what with people being busy with the World Cup and the CoC that there will be no RP requirement for this tournament, though, of course, they are still welcome. Sign ups stop on the 1st of April with the tournament starting the day after.
