The third Landsberg Charity Vase (organised by the Association Septentrionienne de Soccer, the Bostopian FA on behalf of the Landsberg Group and the Sorthern Northland FA) will shortly be starting, with Bostopia hoping to win the LCV for the third time running. The previous LCVs were organised alongside the World Cup, with the last one being hosted by Kura-Pelland, but an agreement on a new format has now taken place.
Each team will play each other in a round-robin league format. This ensures that the maximum amount of money available from ticket sales can go to charity.
The Landsberg Group will cover all usual costs of hosting each game.
The winners will be given B£6,000,000, with second place receiving B£5,000,000 and so on. The money will be awarded from the tournament sponsors, Landsberg. However, all monies won and all monies gained from ticket sales must be given to charities that are focused on developing youth football.
The representative FAs (or equivalent) from the following nations have been invited and will be the only nations eligible to play. Back-up nations have already been selected and notified:
Bostopia - Accepted
Nethertopia - Accepted
Septentrionia - Accepted
Somewhereistonia - Accepted
Sorthern Northland - Accepted
Yafor 2 - Accepted
Hosting
Matches will be scorinated by Bostopia using NSFS 2.0.7 on the basis that I know how to use it. Matches involving Bostopia will not be scorinated by Bostopia. Bostopia's RPs will be judged and their match scored by a person not involved in the match with Bostopia. RPs will be judged and scored on the same basis that they were in the Baptism of Fire for World Cup 47, co-hosted by Bostopia.
All rosters, RPs and scores will go in this thread so as not to clutter up the forum.
Ranks
Ranks have been created in a KPB format based on the previous two LCV competitions and are as follows. It has been agreed by Bostopia, Oli and Snorth in IRC. The original format saw Bostopia at around 26 KPBs and Sorthern Northland at 23 KPBs, and this has been toned down to make it fairer on new entrants.
Bostopia – 13.00
Sorthern Northland – 11.50
Septentrionia – 7.00
Nethertopia – 6.00
Somewhereistonia – 0.00
Yafor 2 – 0.00
Table
Teams will be placed in the table by the following means; Points, goal difference, goals for, games won, then head to head.
Fixtures
Fixtures have been generated by use of php code on an external website. This has currently been done for a league of 6 teams.
Guide for Players
RPs, style modifiers: As with the World Cup, players will be able to include an RP box or short statement saying what other players can/cannot do. Teams may, when submitting their roster, include a style modifier. This ranges from -5 (Defend! *clap clap* Yaffy! *clap clap* Defend!) to +5 (Bostopia's military strategy). If a style modifier is not submitted, it will default to 0.
CTEs: Nations who cease to exist during the tournament will be glared at over IRC and prodded gently to revive their nation. This is assuming that it's noticed they've ceased to exist.
Friendlies: Anyone asking for friendlies will be kindly asked to do it them-bloody-selves.
Rankings: Rankings have been created based on the previous two LCV competitions in a KPB style. This will be updated independently of the World Cup and other WCC-sanctioned events.
Rules: A more substantive set of rules will be drawn up and placed on NSwiki.net at some point in the future - holding your breath not advised.
