World Bowl XXIII - Everything Thread

Postby Estope » Wed Apr 23, 2014 3:27 pm

World Bowl XXIII

Welcome to the 23rd edition of the World Bowl, hosted by The Holy Republic of Estope. Estope is a relatively small, nation located in Esportiva. Sports are a huge deal in Estope as almost everyone either plays a sport or actively follows Estope's national teams. Baseball, Tennis, and Soccer are the major sports in Estope, but Football, or Gridiron as it is referred to as, is also a very popular sport. Outside of Sports, Estope is a very conservative and religious nation. Almost the entire population is Catholic, which is the national religion. There are still some other Christians and even non-Christians, although they do have to pay a larger tax. That being said people are still very free and so foreigners will not have to worry about any ridiculous laws. Most laws are based off of the Ten Commandments so as long as those are followed there shouldn't be any trouble. There are very few restrictions on guns, although they will not be allowed in the stadiums except by security guards, and many people carry concealed weapons on them. There is very little crime in Estope so any visitors will be safe. Twin Brooks, the host of the World Bowl, is the capital of Estope. It is a very large city and the center of everything in Estope. The city is very clean and there are many options for hotels, dining, and entertainment. More info to be added later.

Style modifier = -5

My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my scorers: Yes
Choose scoring events: Yes
RP injuries to my players: Yes, but only one per match
Godmod scoring events: Yes
Godmod injuries: Yes
Godmod other events: Yes, go crazy, just don't kill Lord Almighty Gregory. Trying to kill him is fine, as is staging a fake assassination using actors/other creative means. And if you do anything too weird, Telegram me to give me a heads up, but you don't need to ask permission.
Style Modifier: -5


Most Gregoryisgodistanis (that is the demonym) do not have real names, only titles and government IDs. For instance, our starting quarterback is Zookeeper ZNZ949AHX. This means his job is Zookeeper and his government ID is ZNZ949AHX. Government IDs do not change throughout one's life, but titles may. For instance, our quarterback was formerly known as Youth ZNZ949AHX until he turned 18, then Lion Tamer ZNZ949AHX while he worked as a Lion Tamer, before becoming a Zookeeper and acquiring his current title. He should be referred to by his full name at all times, never ZNZ949AHX. A few high-ranking government elites have personal names.


Gregoryisgodistan normally goes with 2 wide receivers, 1 tight end, a halfback, and a fullback on offense, but may use other sets, such as 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 RB, etc.

On defense, our base is a 4-3-4 (4 linemen, 3 linebackers, 4 backs) but we also use a 4-2-5 nickel from time to time, and occasionally, a 3-2-6 dime. We NEVER play prevent defense.)

Additionally, since our success rate on two-point conversions is roughly 53%, meaning the expected value from going for 2 is higher than the expected value from an extra point, we almost always go for two points after a touchdown, unless we're either winning in a blowout (to avoid appearing unsportsmanlike) or if one point is equally as good as two (such as if we've just scored a touchdown to tie the game, in which case usually we'll kick the extra point for the lead unless it's early in the game.)

Our defense is very strong, but our offense is mediocre at best. Most of our scores are either directly scored by the defense or scored by the defense setting up the offense with good field position. We also frequently will use Defected Chicago Bear Brian Urlacher (more on him later) as a blitzing linebacker, meaning we're sending five men.


Note: our head coach calls all plays, unlike most teams.

Head Coach: Assistant Sports Minister Jorgen Roth
Offensive Coordinator: Assistant Sports Minister Orlando Pornoa

What is an Enemy Crusher? And why are they all so fat?
Enemy Crushers work for the government to crush people as an "enhanced interrogation" technique to get them to confess. Many of them die if they don't confess in time. They are fat in order to successfully inflict pain upon the torturee. That's why most die. The Enemy Crushers also crushed to death multiple referees, plus several players, coaches, and fans of the the opposing teams since Gregoryisgodistan's debut. You have been warned. Also, Enemy Crusher Piotr von Porker is the brother of the late Samuel "Porky" von Porker who was executed in Free Republics for crushing someone to death during the last World Bowl. He will likely look for revenge if Gregoryisgodistan winds up playing the Republicans again. Furthermore, the enemy crushers have gained a lot of weight since the last World Bowl and will be doing even more crushing.

Is Enemy Crusher Carl Paladino related to the politician from New York?
No, and he will crush to death anyone who asks him that. So don't try, unless you want to be crushed to death.

Did Darrelle Revis and Brian Urlacher really defect to Gregoryisgodistan?
No, but the government claims to have kidnapped them. Following the Baptism of Iron, in which "Uralcher" was named MVP of the final, the two "kidnapped NFL players" claimed they liked Gregoryisgodistan so much that they wanted to live here forever, even though Lord Almighty Gregory offered them the opportunity to leave. But in reality, they are just random Gregoryisgodistanis who are good at football who were instructed to pretend to be Urlacher and Revis. Keep in mind that everyone in the country believes the official government story because they are so propagandized, even though "Urlacher" and "Revis" look nothing like their real counterparts.

"Liked Gregoryisgodistan so much and decided to stay here forever" sounds an awful lot like Stockholm Syndrome, considering they were allegedly kidnapped, right?
It is often debated among Gregoryisgodistanis whether it is Stockholm Syndrome or true love of the country, and in fact both players mentioned Stockholm Syndrome then specifically denied it. A recent survey showed that 76% of Gregoryisgodistanis believe the two genuinely love this country, 24% believe it is Stockholm Syndrome, and 0% believe the "absurd foreign propaganda" that the players are not really who they supposedly are.

You do realize Darrelle Revis doesn't play for the Jets, anymore, right?
Exactly, and the official government story is that he no longer plays for the Jets because he was kidnapped and later defected. In reality, he was traded to the Buccaneers.

And Urlacher's retired, you know?
Yes, but the official story is we kidnapped him and he defected permanently.

How should I refer to these two in my RP's?
By their official names, but feel free to use irony quotes to imply doubt as to the name's veracity.

What's a pervert chaser? Sounds creepy.
It really isn't. They chase down perverts who expose themselves and run away, then cut their privates off with a butcher's knife. Without any anesthetic or Novocaine. Don't be a pervert in Gregoryisgodistan. Or a Pervert Chaser will catch you.

Are all the von Streudels related?
Yes, they are brothers.

What is a Grammar Enforcement Officer?
A Grammar Enforcement Officer is a law enforcement officer in Gregoryisgodistan who is responsible for enforcing the use of proper grammar. Using improper grammar is punishable by 28 days in a grammar reeducation camp under Gregoryisgodistani law. The Grammar Enforcement Officers enforce this law. There are also Spelling Enforcement Officers, Mathematics Enforcement Officers, and Speaking Enforcement Officers, and respective reeducation camps.

Home games will be played at Lord Almighty Gregory National Stadium in the Capital District, which has been expanded to seat 400,617. The last three digits are in honor of Lord Almighty Gregory's birthday. If the game is not a sellout, fans will be selected by lottery and forced to attend. The stadium seats are divided into two areas, the upper and lower sections. The lower section is the original and seats 225,617. It is shown in the picture below. The upper section is on top of the partial roof and fans watch the game through the opening. The angle is good enough that they can see the entire field but they cannot see the stands in the lower level. It seats 175,000. It was built prior to the last World Cup. The configuration shown in the photo is for soccer, not football.

Notes

King Petrus XX is an athletic QB who is known to scramble frequently. He is also the new King of Saintland. During World Bowl XX, he famously suffered a serious injury suffered at the hooves of the Equestrian States, but he returned during World Bowl XXI as good as ever and was especially dominant during World Bowl XXII. Salvius is more of an accurate pocket passer. Ulpius is a big quarterback with a very strong arm who can run a little. Tuccius is a power RB and Maximius is a speed back. Loreius is a great pass catcher, but lacks elite power or elite speed. Ancharius is a large fullback who moves pretty well and can make some plays. Matius is a pure blocking fullback. Matthaeus and Thomas Favonius are twins and Paulus Favonius is their younger brother. Ioannes Lusius is a deep threat and all-around dominant WR. Herius is more of a possession WR. Epidius is a relatively tall WR. Thomas Lusius is the younger brother of Ioannes. He is a speed WR who is drop-prone. All of the defensive linemen are big players that would be defensive tackles in a 4-3. Oranius is a balanced WR. Georgius Didius is an elite pass rusher. His brother Silvester is more of a coverage OLB. The Stlaccius brothers are known for their hard hits. The defense is extremely aggressive and tends to show alot of different looks. They use movement to throw the opposition off guard. Offensively, Saintland tends to run the ball most of the time, but they are an extremely deep offense that can run any style of offense. They can go no huddle or use a huddle. They can go option and they can go run and shoot. Saintland will run trick plays and they will call unexpected plays. Prince Petrus calls the offensive signals and Georgius Didius calls defensive signals. If Didius is knocked out of a game, Publicius would likely become the defensive signalcaller. The league in Saintland has 12 players per side, 3 downs, a 110-yard field that is also wider and 20 yard end zones ("Canadian" rules). This team won Arena Bowl IV with an undefeated record. They finished 9-5 at World Bowl XX and, despite playing without Prince Petrus, won the inaugural Maple Leaf Bowl with an undefeated record. At World Bowl XXI, they went 7-2, failing to advance out of the 2nd group stage after Francus blew a potential game-winning field goal against the Quebecois. That defeat would be followed by a mistake-filled defeat against Taeshan, which eliminated the Sanctii from the World Bowl. At World Bowl XXII, on home turf, they were undefeated in the Casaran stage and undefeated in the Group Stage, but after being stunned by West Guiana in the Quarterfinals, they were out, despite having fewer losses in World Bowl XXII than anybody else, including champions Cassadaigua. After winning the second Maple Leaf Bowl, shortly after King Paulus XV, father of King Petrus XX, was assassinated at the World Bowl XXII Championship Game, they are now ranked #3 and come into this World Bowl expecting to leave as the champions.

Notes

The Federation of Free Republics (FFR) is a federation of Republics with a weak national government (the "Federation Government") that has numerous checks and balances. The Republics, each of which has its own government, are relatively independent, although they are subject to the Federation Constitution and its numerous restrictions on what government can do. Most important among them is the cap on taxation, which makes it unconstitutional for government (meaning all governments in the FFR) to take more than 10% combined of anybody's income in taxes, effectively limiting the government. They are the nearest neighbor to Saintland, although that tiny island nation is over a thousand miles to the north of the northern-most Republic's northern border, and most Republicans actually tend to consider progressives worse than religious fanatics, even if both ideologies are considered extreme and contrary to Republicanism. The players on this team would not necessarily be considered the best players in the FFR. Republican athletes tend to have massive egos and often aren't interested in playing for their country.

This team, like other Republican National Teams, was created by its coach. In this case, it was the creation of Logan Allen. Coach Allen has been a successful assistant coach for many professional teams, but he has never been offered a job as a head coach. After the promising start to the National Soccer Team program run by Rule Theriault, Allen decided to start his own National Team in football. Since football is the most popular sport in the Free Republics, it was easy to find investors for the team and Coach Allen quickly obtained the funds he needed and then some. When he heard that Saintland wanted to host the 22nd edition of the World Bowl, he contacted the Sanctii embassy and they put together a joint bid, using the Casaran format that had been used in the ill-fated Saintland-Legalese World Cup bid. The Republican National Team has a truly massive roster, filled with depth. If a player is struggling, Coach Allen will be perfectly happy to bench that player and give somebody else a chance.

Coach Allen chose to go with an offensive based around a dual-threat quarterback, usually throwing or running out of the pistol formation. Thus, all of the quarterbacks on the roster are dual threats. Meier Pongor is a 255-pound power running back. Rasmussen is more of a balanced back. Neither of them catch passes well, so Jake Willis will come in on 3rd downs. Rosado is a possession receiver. Basic is a deep threat, but he is notoriously inconsistent and a poor route runner. The tight ends are primarily pass-catching tight ends. If the Free Republics need extra blockers for a play, Allen will bring in an extra offensive lineman instead. Defensively, the Free Republics play a bend-but-don't-break scheme, involving heavy amounts of Cover 2, Cover 3 and Cover 4. The zone defensive scheme can confuse inexperienced quarterbacks. Alfie Lord is the star of the defense. He is a very good middle linebacker with the potential to become a dominant player at the position. Kwiatkowski is the team's best pass rusher, but he is downright awful against the run. Zuyev is a very accurate kicker, but van Harn has the stronger leg and would be called upon if the Free Republics needed a 60-yard field goal to win a game. Connor Stewart is a dangerous return man whom opposing teams will want to avoid.

To be its children, called we can
And let us swear our lives spiritedly
Without rest to its good, consecrate!

Let us salute, the Motherland, proudly
To be its children, called we can
And let us swear our lives spiritedly
Without rest to its good, consecrate!, consecrate!, consegrate!, consegrate!

FIRST VERSE
Of peace enjoyed in perfect happiness
San Jose Guayabal always nobly dreamed.
To achieve this has been Her eternal proposition,
To keep it, Her greatest glory.
With inviolable faith, the path of progress
She strives to follow
To fulfil Her great destiny
And conquer a happy future.
A stern barrier protects Her
Against the clash of vile disloyalty,
Ever since the day when Her soaring Flag,
Wrote Freedom with Its blood

CHORUS
Let us salute, the Motherland, proudly
To be its children, called we can
And let us swear our lives spiritedly
Without rest to its good, consecrate!

Strategy

Offense
The Fire Ponies generally aren’t known for being a strong offensive team overall, with the defense being the indisputable cornerstone of their success (though recent years have seen the offense steadily improve its performance). That’s not to say that the Equestrians don’t have a few tricks up their metaphorical sleeves, of course. On the ground, the Fire Ponies have a rugged and very determined running game that can eat up clock but earn reasonable yardage at the same time, setting up some of the long-range field goals that the team is extremely well-known for. The natural abilities of sapient ponies give their kicks considerably more strength than the average human does. Thus, it’s not unusual to see the field goal team come on the field even when they’re over 60 yards away from the uprights. Why? In one of their World Bowl 18 games, the team scored 21 points off of field goals, three of which were from longer than 65 yards. Two years after that defining result, in a group stage game against Saintland, Blackmane (the Equestrians' star kicker) hammered eight field goals through the uprights from more than 50 yards out, and would set a personal best the following week with a 70 yard attempt that was spot-on.

Defense
Brutal and relentless are the two words that most analysts choose to describe the Equestrians’ tough-as-nails defense. If you want to score on the Equestrian States, you’re not going to have an easy time doing it without the help of over-zealous officials. The records offer confirmation of just how difficult it is to score against the Fire Ponies, as the team has recorded 24 shutouts in their 46 World Bowl victories and have conceded more than 21 points just six times in their five tournament appearances (the last such occurrence being a World Bowl 20 group stage defeat to eventual champions German Zerabithea). The intimidation factor of predatory dragons and griffons on the Equestrian line is considered to be a major factor in the team's defensive success, and has caused several fainting spells among opposing offensive linemen from time-to-time. Thus, blitzes are a specialty of the Fire Ponies, with the lineponies often presenting few avenues of escape for a targeted quarterback. As the Equestrian defense regularly forces turnovers, they are also a potent scoring machine for the team.

Stadium

Image

Name: The Royal Coliseum
Location: Canterlot, Equestrian States
Capacity: 65,775
The oldest of the growing number of large stadiums in the Equestrian States dedicated solely to the sport of gridiron, the Royal Coliseum is home to the Canterlot Crowns and is capable of holding 65,755 ponies and other assorted species. When the stadium was constructed about ten years ago, the press (or at least the few reporters who bothered to write about gridiron) criticized the move to allow for such a large capacity considering the low popularity of the sport. However, such critics seem to have been proven wrong, as the domestic popularity of gridiron has since soared.


RP Permissions
My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my Scorers: Yes
Choose Scoring Events: Yes
Godmod Scoring Events: Yes
RP Injuries to my Players: Yes - Limited to minor injuries only without TG permission
Godmod Injuries to my Players: Yes - See the above restrictions
Godmod Other Events: Yes - Nothing weather-related if I am the home team
Other Notes: If you wish to do something that is either not listed as allowed in my RP permissions or really out of the ordinary, I require that you ask me (via TG) at least two hours prior to RP cutoff so my own post can account for the unusual event. Failure to send a TG in time will likely result in your request being turned down as I will probably have already begun work on my own RP. Also, feel free to TG me if you want more IC info on my team or nation.

Head Coach: Buck Naters, 78

Strategy: On offence, Naters uses a 2 RB set and uses a smashmouth running attack to force the safeties to watch the RB and then airs it out deep to the wideouts and uses the TE either as a blocker or a receiver. On defense, Naters uses a complex zone blitz scheme that involves LB's and DE's dropping in and out of zone coverage changing blitzing schemes while the CB's play man on the outside helped out by the safeties to watch any deep pass

Roster:
Offence:
Quarterback: Buck Williams
Running-back: Adrian Crawford
Fullback: Darius T. Jermichael V.
Center: Nagi Ja
Right Tackle: Mike Enders
Left Tackle: Milos Cruz
Right Guard: Joe Valentine

Tight End: Brain Udderson

The HopNation Malts
American Football Team


Brief history of HopNation Handball, er, Football
Though it doesn’t have as big a following as Association Football, American Football is the second largest sport in HopNation. With the chagrin of Warren VonHopton, Winston Churschmidt created the first league (HopNation Football League (HFL)) in the state Hefebayern (HBN), and despite the sport being the second largest Hefebayern (HBN) is still the only state in HopNation that plays it. This could be because Hoptonian’s commonly call it ‘Handball’, since there is very little use of players feet with respect to the ball. Churschmidt expects growth after the successful launch, but only time will tell. The National Team known as the Malts is a thrown together squad, team consisting of the best ‘Handballers’ in all of HopNation (well Hefebayern, HopNation anyway).
For more details on the events leading up to this team and HopNation Handball take a look here:

Stadium

Fressen Hundefutter Stadion

Fressen Hundefutter Stadion: Capacity 78,000|Location: Wortwort, Hefebayern
Fressen Hundefutter is a new stadium with many great features. It is an open air stadium so both players and fans are subjected to what ever mother nature throws at it, to an extent. The field however is heated and typically stays at a nice 45 to 50 degrees right at grass level even when the outside temperature dips down into the single or below zero digits. It also has cooling fans with misters built just under the first row of seats so on those hot HopNation days players have a few spots to keep cool. Fan comforts are also something that was considered when this facility was erected. Throughout the concourses there are heaters as well as the same cooling fans that the players have, so depending on the outside temperature the fans will also be somewhat comfortable. The stadium seats themselves do not have cooling elements but they do have a self regulated heater that each fan can set to his/her comfort level, however the heater quality degrades as the ticket price decreases so fans in the cheapest sections have a far less reliable seat than those in the prime expensive sections. Viewer pleasure was also something that was considered during construction, so there are a number of video boards throughout and no seat has an obstructed view of the field. Each seat also has a headphone jack so they can listen to the games broadcast if desired (Ear Buds or Headphones not provided).
Home of the Große Hunde and is also the official home of the National Handball Team the Malts (American Football).

LumberKings: Felling Trees with Big Axes


About the LumberKings
The Lumberjacks or Jacks, as they are often called, that make up the LumberKing’s roster are a brawny bunch plucked from the limbs of Great TimberOaks which stand deep within the Great Timbermunich Forest. These Great TimberOaks are massive trees that make up the central portion of the Great Timbermunich Forest, the trees stand at nearly 424 meters tall with trunks that can reach upwards of 32 meters in diameter. It is said that these Lumberjacks once selected spend their entire life within the Great Timbermunich Forest. To be a Jack in Timbermunich is a great honor and they are selected by The Great Battle Axe while still in utero. They are tasked with guarding the Great Timbermunich Forest from all harm (natural or otherwise) starting at their birth and continuing to their death, that is if they actually do die as no one has ever witnessed a Jacks death nor has a Jacks body ever been discovered void of life they seem to vanish from existence once they reach and estimated 250 years of forest protection. It is also said that each of the Great TimberOaks has a single Jack to watch along with the shared duty over the rest of the Great Timbermunich Forest. If true this would mean that there are approximately 450 thousand Jacks, there are also nearly 100000 trees (multiple genomes) per living Timbermunichers (everyday folks: 50 million) so there are a great number of trees to watch over.

You may be asking what this has to do with a football team, well you see the Jacks get a small senescence in which they are able to leave the Great Timbermunich Forest and they choose to play sports during this abscission time. Much of the lore around the Jacks seems to indicate this is their final farewell before vanishing from the forest. It is unknown if a Jack gets more than one senescence or not, we have seen some Jacks on more than one cycles roster, but since the legends are not written down we don’t know if this is due to the length of ones senescence or if they have more than one. They do seem to stick with the more strength and power sporting events, which we attribute to their physical stature and strength. After all they spend their entire life wielding one or sometimes two Double Bit Great Felling Axe, an axe that no normal human can lift. This doesn’t mean we don’t see them in finesse sports; it’s just more common for them to choose physical sports more during their senescence.

RP: I could care less on what you say, but if you want to kill or injure someone. Tele me first. Also, I realize that my nation name does not reflect this, but both the G and the Z are capitalized.
98% of all internet users would cry if facebook would break down, if you are part of that 2% who simply would sit back and laugh then copy and paste this into your sig.

The Menukten Silence
Image


Menuktenites do not play gridiron football, being so small of stature. The Mourning Guild, what counts for Menukten's government, has instead called in some favors and hired a secret service to represent Menukten in the WB. The team consists of agents called "Silents" who are "memory-proof". Silents can only be remembered when you are looking at them. As soon as you look away, you completely forget about them. You can't even remember seeing a picture of them. This being the case, it is impossible for me to post a roster because I don't even remember that Menukten is fielding a gridiron team. You too will completely forget this post after you have read it and wonder why Menukten did not post a roster, and how they manage to play games when they never show up, but the games seem to have been played anyways, with points on the board and the scorekeeper scratching his head.

RP permissions: anything goes.

Lord Almighty Gregory vows Enemy Crushers will crush Guayabalese players

Earlier today, following the announcement of the World Bowl groups, Lord Almighty Gregory announced that the enemy crushers on the Grid Slaves will crush the players from San Jose Guayabal to death when the two teams face off in the group stage of World Bowl XXIII. According to the Lord, "San Jose Guayabal is a wicked country full of sinners who do not recognize me as the Lord Almighty and instead mock our athletes by chanting forbidden words. For that, they must be crushed. I am counting on our enemy crushers to crush all the Guayabalese players and fans. I should also remind them that San Jose Guayabal is on our enemy list, so there is a reward for killing them. I am temporarily lifting the restriction on killing Guayabalese athletes, but only members of the Grid Slaves are eligible to kill them and receive a reward."

The enemy crushers have been gaining weight before this tournament with the intention of crushing even more opposing players, coaches, and fans and look to increase their kill count in the current tournament. So far, the Grid Slaves alone have claimed several dozen victims. Enemy Crusher Carl Paladino, right end and defensive captain, was thrilled by the news of Lord Almighty Gregory's declaration. "I will crush all of San Jose Guayabal to death along with my enemy crusher teammates. This will be a lot of fun. Those people are heathens who insist on chanting forbidden words. Death to San Jose Guayabal!"

Meanwhile, the rest of the enemy crushers were busily preparing for their match against San Jose Guayabal by crushing the slaves who served as the temporary practice squad. New slaves were brought in, and they too were crushed. This repeated a few times before they moved back to practicing against the normal practice squad, who was not crushed. The Grid Slaves' opener is against Alparia on Monday, and this will be followed by the first game against San Jose Guayabal on Tuesday. It should be a lot of fun for the enemy crushers to crush their opponents. Good luck to all the enemy crushers from the folks at The Lord's Word.

World Bowl XXIII: Preview

(SP) For the first time since his Coronation, King Petrus XX will lead the Saintland National Gridiron Team at the World Bowl. The 23rd edition of the World Bowl is already shaping up to be a more modest affair than the 22nd edition, with 20 fewer participating national teams, a single group stage and just 16 teams advancing to the Round of 16. It is clear that World Bowl XXIII isn't going to be on the same scale as World Bowl XXII. The impossibility of topping World Bowl XXII led to a shortage of host bids, with the only serious bid coming from the nation of Estope. "For the first time, the World Bowl is going to be held in Esportiva. While the region of Esportiva is more widely known as the home of a significant number of rising powers in international soccer, they do have several nations that dabble in gridiron. Foremost among them is Estope, so it is fitting that Estope will host the first World Bowl held in Esportiva. Last time around, we were upset by West Guiana in the Quarterfinals. Since we finished with a better winning percentage than anybody in the last World Bowl and managed a head-to-head victory against Cassadaigua, the second straight World Bowl where we had a head-to-head victory over the eventual champion, we are widely considered one of the favorites to win this World Bowl, but that doesn't mean anything unless we actually win it." - King Petrus XX

World Bowl XXIII features 48 teams, which have been drawn into 8 groups of 6 that will play home and away. The Saintland National Gridiron Team has been drawn into Group E, as the top seed in that group. Their opening game in this group will be at New South Aqmuland, a nation that will be making their international gridiron debut in this World Bowl. That will be followed by a game against Macquarrie, another newcomer. With the Baptism of Iron canceled by the World Bowl Assembly due to lack of interest, the new nations participating in this World Bowl are coming in with no track record whatsoever, making it more difficult to determine which of them will actually be formidable opponents.

Only in their 3rd game in Quakmybush, will the National Gridiron Team actually face an opponent with actual World Bowl experience. That opponent is Quakmybush, who went 2-8 in World Bowl 7, before disappearing until World Bowl XXII. Last time, they managed just 2 wins and 6 defeats in the Casaran stage, finishing 64th. The only victories for Quakmybush came against Gloriax and MoonBase Fourcannon, not exactly imposing opposition. However, they managed to be on the wrong end of several lopsided defeats, including a 71 to 27 defeat against Zeneabo, a team that would win just 3 games themselves.

Fourth up is Anditia, who debuted in World Bowl XXII, after missing the signups for the Baptism of Iron. Anditia managed a 4-4 record in the Casaran Stage, which was sufficient to get into the tiebreaker round. After winning 2 games, Anditia qualified for the Group Stage of World Bowl XXII. In the group stage, they would even manage an upset over the Serbian Empire, but would ultimately finish 3rd in their group with a 1-2 record. They will visit Royal Stadium on the 4th matchday.

Our only opponent ranked within the top 20 will be the hosts, ranked 17th in the latest rankings. Estope made their debut in the 12th Baptism of Iron, where they finished 1-2 in a group consisting of 3 nations that we have never heard of, here at the SP. That wasn't exactly the most inspiring debut in international gridiron and they went just 4-6 in World Bowl XIX, finishing 4th in a 6 team group. World Bowl XX would start out much better for them, as they won their first 6 games before a 29-0 defeat against Subramani. 4 games later, they would be 10-1 and alone atop their group. However, after losing 2 out of their final 3 games, they were 11-3 and had finished 3rd on a tiebreaker. Therefore, they would not advance past the group stage. In World Bowl XXI, they would finish 4-2 and third in their group, once again failing to advance on a tiebreaker. They had the misfortune of drawing a group that included our Kingdom's National Team, which went undefeated in the group stage of that World Bowl, and Qazox, who would go on to win that World Bowl. Estope finally advanced in World Bowl XXII, going 5-3 in the Casaran Stage. That was good enough for a spot in the Group Stage. However, they would finish 1-2 in the Group Stage, failing to advance.

Needless to say, the National Gridiron Team will be heavily favored in all 10 of their group stage games, with the 2 games against Estope expected to be the most challenging. After their visit to Estope on the 5th matchday, the schedule will repeat, after 2 off days, with home and away reversed. The top 2 teams in each group will advance to the Round of 16 in Estope for up to 4 games in a single-elimination tournament to determine the World Bowl XXIII champions. With the return to the traditional Group Stage format, there will be a shortage of compelling matchups during the group stage, but expect things to heat up once the Round of 16 begins around 2 weeks from now.
