International Cup of 7ball II (OOC)

[Drawkland]

He clearly states that he modified tennis.

Please read.

He's created a separate scorinator for it though.

I do believe my wording was ambiguous. What I meant was that I've edited an existing scoring file used by xkoranate.

[Anglatia]

How easy was it to make the xkoranate file? I have an idea for the national sport of Anglatia but I'm not sure about if I should make a new file or use the hockey file when I do a domestic league for it.

All I did was copy the tennis file and tweak some numbers. Relatively easy, since the scoring was similar. I also tweak the synchronized swimming scorinator to do drum corps competition results as well. TG me if you want help.

IC Information
The Kébecois ❄ Republic is one of the geographically largest democracies in the world, situated in the far northern reaches of the world, it is home to one of the world's most thriving economies. The northernmost parts of the country are home to some of the coldest places man inhabits. The southern tips of the country are known to be much warmer with an easier more suitable climate for the larger amount of the inhabitants, about 94% of The Kébecois ❄ Republic's 11.000.000 inhabitants (10.340.000) live along the southern border with the United States if Paramerica. As Kébecois is a parliamentary constitutional nobility, Noble Charles Picqué is the head of state residing in the Palace of Vancouver on Vancouver Island. Owning to its large economy, 7Ball, a relatively new sport introduced in 1983 has gained much popularity with over 140.000 playing in the Q7L (Quebecois 7's League). The Frontier 7's have proven to be the most successful with sixteen 7's Cups to its name. Traveling to The Kébecois ❄ Republic will offer you the charms of western Canada. Kébecois ❄ Republic offers you the hustle and bustle of the city (Vancouver, Calgary, etc) while also offering you the beauties of the north seeing the Native peoples performing their centuries old traditions. Kébecois is seen as being light on restrictions for traveling, all that is needed for travel to Kébecois is an authentic passport which has been confirmed by the traveler's government.

Group Draw
The Group Draw will be done in a Chatzy that I will add later if this bid wins the rights to host the cup. Currently we have eleven sign-ups and I am aiming for fourteen, however, other numbers can be used if we are unable to meet our number. All games will be hosted and played within Kébecois (most likely in Rugby/Cricket/Gaelic Football Stadias).

• 14 Teams: Two groups of 7; top four from each group advance
• 21: Teams: Three Groups of 7; top three from each group advance creating a round-robin in which the top four teams advance to the semi-finals

Scorinating Experience
I have some scorinating experience in the form of scorinating the games from The Royal Alliance's Royal Soccer Cup, I scorinated and co-scorinated the 1st and 3rd editions. Within the COL, I've scorinated an Olympics. I am looking to launch my 5-A-Side Soccer scorination soon. Although I have a small list of things scorinated, I assure you I am qualified for the position to scorinate this event.

Scorinating Method
I will be using Drawkland's self-created scorinating system for 7Ball. Since not many teams are returning from the original 7Ball cup, I will be using RP bonuses which will be awarded based on the quality, the creativity and the quantity of rp. The RP bonuses will be fair and will allow a new nation to compete with a champion in 7Ball. Roster bonuses will be given out also.

Tiebreakers
1) Points
2) Head-2-Head Record
3) Goals Differential
4) Goals For
5) Goals Scored H-2-H

Retconned

[Gregoryisgodistan]

Gregoryisgodistan 7s sign up conditional on there being a host who is actually competent. Also, is it OK if our team is unofficially nicknamed the 7s Slaves in line with our other national teams' nicknames (the official nickname would be 7s in line with rules.)

What could I have possibly done this time that needs your insult.

[Gregoryisgodistan]

So now you have yet another IC name, SRF..... Or did you copy/paste this bid as well from one of your regionmates? Frankly, you haven't proven yourself to be competent, and if anything, you've proven the opposite. You were overwhelmingly defeated for the WJHC, and in several cases you have more teams advancing out of groups than are in the groups to begin with. At best, this suggests a lack of attention and caring, and at worst, this means you have no clue what you're doing. You've given me no reason to suspect it's anything but the latter.

You have consistently proven to be lacking. Perhaps if you'd taken a look at my main page, you'd realize I've moved to Canada. I have not copied this bid at all. Perhaps since you seem to be head over heels about the fact I seem to be a bad guy based on bad experiences over two years ago, you should look to see that I have changed. You once again prove you don't read the bids, concerning when you said: "...you have more teams advancing out of groups than are in the groups to begin with.", perhaps if you'd read my bid, you would've seen this: " 11 Teams: Two groups of 4; one group of 3; top three from the groups of 2 and top two from group of 3 advance
14 Teams: Two groups of 7; top four from each group advance
16: Teams: Four groups of 4; top two from each group advance
18 Teams: Three groups of 6; top four from each group advance"
You have proven to attempt to bring me down at everything I attempt to do with your apparent hatred of me. Since I have apparently "cop[ied] [and] paste[d] this bid from one of your [my] regionmates, I ask you to prove that to me. We can perhaps appoint a third source and I shall prove you wrong.

[Gregoryisgodistan]

I'm not quoting everything since it will be a mess but here goes....

(Image)

• 11 Teams: Two groups of 4; one group of 3; top three from the groups of 2 and top two from group of 3 advance
• 14 Teams: Two groups of 7; top four from each group advance
• 16: Teams: Four groups of 4; top two from each group advance
• 18 Teams: Three groups of 6; top four from each group advance

Emphasis mine. So you've got three teams advancing from groups of 2. Yes, there you go. And there aren't even any groups of two for them to advance from so I'm really not sure what's going on. Plus 8 out of 11 teams advancing is too many IMO but that's another issue....

As for the copy/paste.... I didn't accuse you of copy/pasting, I asked you if you did, and if not, why you have yet another IC name that is different from your OOC one (Silver Rainbow Fumes). In your WJHC bid, you were West African Republic or something like that, and now you're the Kebecois (or is it Quebecois?) Republic. I was asking if you really are changing IC names every few days, if so why, and if not, why does it seem that way - are you copy/pasting or something?

[Azrea]

If sign ups are still open, count us in

I was asking if you really are changing IC names every few days, if so why, and if not, why does it seem that way - are you copy/pasting or something?

1. My bad, I shall correct later
2. I did not copy and paste. I have changed (ic) locations in my region to Western Canada and am constructing an alt. History. Kébec is the real name of Quebec, Quebec is French for the Algonquin word. I am rping an alt. history nation in which it is French although it does not control the territory of Quebec.
3. Bidding as 'Silver Rainbow Fumes' sounds honestly retarded and reminds me to much of my past on NS. Bidding as my IC name is more professional.
4. As I said before, I am willing to have you prove your accusations.

[Arcantova]

Arcantova is in because...why not?

[Gregoryisgodistan]

Ok, there are a lot of well-respected users who have different IC names than OOC names, including The Holy Empire, who has probably been here longer than you've been alive. That's not an issue. But what exactly is your IC name? Kebec? Quebecois Republic? West African Republic? I'm so confused. I'm not accusing you of anything, I just want an answer so I know what's going on, which you seem unable or unwilling to provide.

My IC name is the name that goes before Silver Rainbow Fumes... You seem to be failing to comprehend that I moved to Canada within my region so naturally my IC name must change.

[Drawkland]

Gregoryisgodistan 7s sign up conditional on there being a host who is actually competent. Also, is it OK if our team is unofficially nicknamed the 7s Slaves in line with our other national teams' nicknames (the official nickname would be 7s in line with rules.)

The "Slave 7s" would be more kosher. But if that's not acceptable, 7s Slaves would technically work.

I believe with Arcantova, Greg, and Azrea, we have 14 signups, which is optimal. However, with this level of interest, I'm sure we could scrape up another 7 for the most optimal setup of groups of 7 (3 in this case).

My own bid to come tonight or tomorrow.

IC Intro
The Interstellar Empire of Drawkland is the central and arguably the most influential nation on Sonnel. There's a lot of people living there, and it makes up an entire continent. Drawkland sporters were the first to see 7ball being played in the Backwards Nations and decide to bring it to light. Because of them, 7ball is now an international phenomenon. The Drawkland 7ball league has an illustrious roster of teams, and despite its silly nature, it has quite a cult following. The 7.7.7.7.7.7.7., Sonnel's international 7ball league, was founded by DISC, Drawkland's Sporting Council. Also, 7.

Groups/Format
With 16 teams, I'm looking to get to 21 signups. I absolutely require there be a number divisible by 7, so that the groups will be 7 each. In the highly unlikely case we get to 28 signups, we'll go with that. After we get 21 signups though, I plan to wait-list the signups, and if 28 isn't achieved by a day or two afterwards, we'll have to axe the excess.

• 21 Teams: 3 groups of 7, single round-robin. Top 2 from each advance, Best #3 advanced, other #3 seeds have a playoff match to determine who gets the final spot. 8-team single-elim playoff.
• 28 Teams: 4 groups of 7, single round-robin. Top 2 from each advance. 8-team single elim playoff.

Group Draw will be released the same day that the Everything thread is posted. Pots will not be used since there's no ranking system, but I will try to evenly distribute teams that competed last edition, to emulate such a system.

Scoring Portfolio
The player behind Drawkland has hosted 4 drum corps competition events (this was his first handle of scorination experience). He hosted the First Official 7ball Tournament, single-handedly, and is almost done hosting World Bowl XXIX with Frenline Delpha, which has enjoyed good success. He also is starting to operate some domestic leagues on and off.

Scoring Method
I will be using the 7ball scorinator used with xkoranate (latest version). This is my custom scorinator file which I created using the preexisting xkoranate Tennis file. I used it in the past edition, and it works well. RP bonuses will be generous, since I'm not expecting much of it and I want to reward those that do. Rosters will be given a full matchday's bonus if posted.

Here are the Tiebreakers that will be used in sorting the group placements:

1. Wins
2. 7et Difference
3. H2H 7et Difference
4. 7ets For
5. H2H 7ets For
6. Roster, then RP

Reminder that 7ets are the "sets" of play in 7ball, so this equates to sets won in tennis. Wins used instead of points because there are no draws in 7ball, and therefore the point arranger would be pointless. Sneaky pun


I am open to any questions you may have, ask away.

Courage 7s are back!

[Gregoryisgodistan]

Gregoryisgodistan 7s sign up conditional on there being a host who is actually competent. Also, is it OK if our team is unofficially nicknamed the 7s Slaves in line with our other national teams' nicknames (the official nickname would be 7s in line with rules.)

The "Slave 7s" would be more kosher. But if that's not acceptable, 7s Slaves would technically work.

I believe with Arcantova, Greg, and Azrea, we have 14 signups, which is optimal. However, with this level of interest, I'm sure we could scrape up another 7 for the most optimal setup of groups of 7 (3 in this case).

My own bid to come tonight or tomorrow.

The "X Slaves" is unofficial. The official nickname would be whatever is required.

Also, I'm a bit confused. Are groups of seven a requirement or merely a tradition? If the former, SRF should adjust his bid accordingly but I'm really not sure. If the latter, he probably should too but that would be up to him.

Anyway, to address what SRF said above about the IC name,I'm still a bit confused as to what that even means but I've learned better than to question bizarre regional stuff. I mean, we have a region that exists outside of space and time and another full of magical sapient ponies, so this seems normal by comparison.

Technically the groups of 7 is not REQUIRED (as there's nothing written that would require it), but it would be a faux pas to not have groups of 7. I'd say it's tradition.

That being said, I do suggest SRF changes their bid to reflect groups of 7.

[Gregoryisgodistan]

I still don't get why SRF is changing his IC name every two days, but that's another issue. And I won't hold the questionable methods his region uses against him since I don't believe in guilt by association. That being said, I don't think SRF is ready to host this or anything else. Hosting a regional Olympics in an obscure region doesn't really count. This is a good tournament for someone with no hosting experience to host, but I'm not convinced SRF, or whatever his Name du jour is, is ready. And him bidding for every single event isn't helping my confidence either.

[Silver Rainbow Fumes]

I'm going to retcon my bid as it seems nations would rather another nation bid. Rather then dis-interest people from the sport of 7Ball, I shall not submit a host bid.
