NS Arena Bowl I RP/Rosters/Scores Thread
Posted: Sat Aug 14, 2010 6:44 pm
Greetings, and welcome to the inaugural NS Arena Bowl competition, now brought to you by ViZion World Corporation, the international business leader keeping the world spinning!
Some of the nations competing may already be familiar with the rules of this tournament, but for those who aren't, this tournament was originally known as the Sarzonian Indoor Gridball Cup. Because this tournament will be a continuation of that competition, it will be retroactively referred to as NS Arena Bowl 0.
The 15 nations that have signed up are asked to provide us with your lists of players and coaches, along with accounts and descriptions of your matches in this realm. In turn, we will place you in three groups of five teams apiece. Each team will play the other twice in double round robin competition before the top 10 teams qualify for the knockout rounds.
The three group winners will automatically clinch the top three seeds in the knockout rounds, and the seven remaining spots will be determined by won-loss record. The other tiebreaking procedures in effect shall be as follows: Head-to-head results, overall point differential in head-to-head results, overall point differential, most points scored, coin flip. The first knockout round phase shall feature the seventh seeded team facing the 10th seeded team at Estrella Motor Cars Arena in Wilmington. The eighth seed will face the ninth seed at The Annex in Nicksia. The higher remaining seed will face the second seed in the quarterfinal round; the lower remaining seed will face the top seed in the quarterfinal round.
The groups will be as follows:
Group A
Sarzonia
Delaclava
Mossulia
Sibirsky
Freelasio
Group B
Andossa Se Mitrin Vega
Qazox
Krytenia
Cosumar
Mytannion
