Question(s) for BOL bidders:

Roleplays, no matter what the subject as long as it’s forum-appropriate, will be graded on a scale of 0-2, with quality favored over length (although we wish anybody who tries to write two-line, “quality” RP bonuses good luck-they’ll need it). Rosters will be graded on a scale of 0-3.

Twice during the tournament (one in the middle of qualifiers and one before playoffs), we will give nations opportunities to earn up to one free point in their RP if they perform a certain RP challenge. Some examples from the Watterson Bowl II, one of Super-Llamaland’s tournaments that used them (Example: “Write rhyming haiku” and “Include every letter of the English alphabet in your RP except for "h". RP must be longer than 100 words.”), or funny and bizarre situations that SJG will include throughout the tournament as: delays, fans, UFO invasion, etc.

Rosters
Why the choice/reason to grade rosters on a 0-3 scale rather than a simple X bonus pts for posting one?

Bonus RP opportunities
Will the bonus be in addition to a normal RP for that given day?
Example: say Nation X RPs, then the bonus criteria is posted and Nation X RPs the bonus on the same match day (two RPs on one day). Do you Grade Original RP (ORP) and Bonus RP (BRP) then add those together? Do you simply add 1 to ORP grade and place no grade on the separate BRP?
Which brings up another question: How will multiple RPs be dealt with? (separate from above situation where you have 1 rp and then the bonus rp, this time just two or three RPs on same match day)

Format

Our proposed formats show a conventional double round-robin group stage, with each team playing their groupmates once at home and once away.

16 teams: 4 groups of 4
18 teams: 3 groups of 6
20 teams: 4 groups of 5
24 teams: 4 groups of 6

Will the match days all be consecutive or will there be any breaks build in? (please note any difference that would be dependent on actual group size, if there would be)

Will the home and away be played in the respective nations venue or will Super-Llamaland and San José Guayabal venues be used throughout? Also, how about after the group stage?

Question(s) for BOL bidders:

Rosters
Why the choice/reason to grade rosters on a 0-3 scale rather than a simple X bonus pts for posting one?

First reason: To reward the quality of the rosters, giving more justice, because it's not so logical put the same bonus to a low quality roster with the same level of another with full details.

Bonus RP opportunities
Will the bonus be in addition to a normal RP for that given day?
Example: say Nation X RPs, then the bonus criteria is posted and Nation X RPs the bonus on the same match day (two RPs on one day). Do you Grade Original RP (ORP) and Bonus RP (BRP) then add those together? Do you simply add 1 to ORP grade and place no grade on the separate BRP?
Which brings up another question: How will multiple RPs be dealt with? (separate from above situation where you have 1 rp and then the bonus rp, this time just two or three RPs on same match day)

For every day, if you post two or three RP's in the same day, that won't increase your chances to win, it's the day RP, depending of Quality above Quantity.

It will be a one day break after group stage, and then all MD's will be consecutive.

Will be played at SJG and SLL.
