Alright then, how do I RP this?
Well.... this is a bit different from other sports. I'd recommend reading the rules linked earlier on. In the OOC Thread you'll find a link to the first two tournament, which should give you a rough idea of what you're doing here.
Can't you explain it here?
Alright.....
Okay, so how do I write a roster for this thing?
Ummm... however you like. There is no definitive team size or anything like that. You could have a squad of 1000 armed military personnel, or a lone sheep. It's up to you. Rosters are to be graded on a fluid scale, so be creative.
What about RP Permissions?
You can have them if you really want to, but this is Calvinball, where everything is crazy and nothing make actual sense, so most teams go without them.
And how exactly does scorination and the such work?
Well, there are three disciplines in each match. Each one is scorinated a different way, and given a different multiplier (which will addd up to 10). At the end we add them all up, stick a consonant on the end (which means nothing), and there's your score.
I still don't get it.... can you give an example?
Sure!
For this example match, the scores are generated as follows
5x football (soccer) : Points given for eating banana peels whilst being submerged in custard
3x lacrosse: Points given for bedazzling the Calvinball
2x rugby: Point given for playing The Crazy Frog using only a shovel and a tin of baked beans
So the scores might be this:
Football: Team A 2-1 Team B
Lacrosse: Team A 5-10 Team B
Rugby: Team A 20-10 Team B
Team A's score= 10 (5x2) + 15 (3x5) + 40 (20x2) - 65
Team B's score= 5 (5x1) + 30 (3x10) + 20 (10x2) - 55
So the final score is Team A 65(consonant) - 55(consonant) Team B
Oh now I get it, but I have another question that has not been answered in this schtzophrenic OP.
Ask it in the Calvinball Discussion Thread, or contact me via TG, IRC and any other means you can.
Best of luck!
