The important stuff: This tourney relies on RPing. You can RP about anything you want to about your team, but there are some limitations, more on that later.
Every team that posts a roster, which will hopefully be all 36 of you; will use an RP Permissions box. Within, you can control how your opponents can RP your game against them.
If My Opponent RP's first they may:
Choose my scorers: Yes/No
Choose scoring events: Yes/No
RP injuries to my players: Yes/No
Godmod Scoring events: Yes/No
Godmod injuries: Yes/No
Godmod "other" events: Yes/No
If you don't know, godmodding would be having the ball strike off a passing bird on a punt, and your 3rd string center returns it 100 yards for a TD. Basically, keep your RPs within the realm of probablity. Unless you happen to face a team that allows godmodding (or don't post a roster). Then go crazy if you so wish.
For a roster, you will need at a mininum of 11 players on offense and 11 players on defense. You can go as in-depth as you want with your players, providing backbrounds, performance stats from your leagues, college history, whatever. Or you can just do the minimalist approach and just have a name and maybe a number. Alos included within your Roster, include a Style Modifer. A style modifier adjusts how the scorinator determines the number of possessions your team has. The range of modifers will be from -2 to +2. -2 is a defensive modifer, reducing the number of possessions, leading to usually lower scoring games. +2 is an offensive modifier increasing the numberof possessions, usually leading to highe scoring games.
Your RPs can be as in-depth as you want as well. Most teams include a game recap or scoring summary or play-by-play or a high-light show. Some barely mention the score and focus on how the game affected certain players. Other than the following limitations, you can do whatever you wish.
RP LIMITATIONS:
1- Follow your opponent's permissions box.
2- The final score is the final score. Failure to comply will result in an RP bonus penalty for the day.
3- Don't have any events that involve any Qazox citizens.
Enough of the introductions. let's get down to business. The group Draw will be on Thursday, April 21st at 11:00pm. Each team will be placed into a group with 5 other teams. There will be 5 games played, one against every other team in your group. There will not be any ties in the group stage. After the 5 games have been played, the 2 best records from each group will advance to the playoffs. Teams will be ranked by the following tiebreakers:
- Tiebreakers to be used within a group:
H2H Record
H2H Point Differential
Overall Point Differential
Away record
Away point differential
Coin Flip
Tiebreakers to be used for playoff seeding:
Overall Point Differential
Away record
Away point differential
Coin Flip
All efforts will be made to prevent teams from the same group from facing each other in the first round. The 4 teams with the best records will receive a bye into the Quarterfinals, while the other 8 teams will face off in the first round. It will be a single-elimination tourney, so winners advance, losers go home.
I know that is a lot of suff to throw at you, but have fun regardless. Start posting your rosters and RPs now.
