New to Sports RPing or the World Bowl?

First, if you’re new to the NS Sports forum, I strongly encourage you read the Guide to Sports Roleplaying as the guide does an excellent job of giving new participants a general idea of what to do and how tournaments generally work. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them on the discussion thread or by sending me a telegram.

For those of you who want the basics, the first thing I’ll cover is the roster. A roster is a list of the names of your players and what positions they play; but if you want, you can post other information as well. This can include, but certainly isn’t limited to: physical traits, strengths and weaknesses, and really anything you think might be relevant. Other common elements of a good roster include information on stadium(s) your team uses, uniforms, and coaching staff.

The RP Permissions box is an essential part of participating in any tournament. The idea of the box is to let your opponents know what you are willing to allow them to do, and what you aren’t willing to allow them to do. This includes injuries, scoring, and other events. Please post the following somewhere in your roster when you post one:

Code: Select all: My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following: Choose my Scorers: Yes/No Choose Scoring Events: Yes/No Godmod Scoring Events: Yes/No RP Injuries to my Players: Yes/No Godmod Injuries to my Players: Yes/No Godmod Other Events: Yes/No

Scorination

Games will be scorinated between 10:00 PM and Midnight EST (03:00-05:00 UTC) each day unless otherwise noted. Participants should assume the cutoff will be at the earlier end of that window regardless of the previous day's cutoff time. Should the time frame need to be changed, it will be pushed back and I will try to give no less than one day’s warning before this.

Tournament Schedule

First Group Stage
The first group stage will consist of each team playing the others in their groups twice: once at home and once on the road. Group finishing position in the first stage will determine pot placement in the second stage (ex. Group 12 winner in Pot 1, Group 5 runner-up in Pot 2, etc.) and will count towards the final overall table after the second stage, which will determine advancement to the latter stages of the tournament. The first team listed in each game is the home team.

Saturday, January 31: Match Day 1 - 1v4, 2v3
Sunday, February 1: Match Day 2 - 4v3, 1v2
Monday, February 2: Match Day 3 - 2v4, 3v1
Wednesday, February 4: Match Day 4 - 4v1, 3v2
Thursday, February 5: Match Day 5 - 3v4, 2v1
Friday, February 6: Match Day 6 - 4v2, 1v3

Second Group Stage
The draw for the second group stage will be conducted immediately following the scorination of MD6 in the first stage. The second stage, like the first, will consist of each team playing the others in their groups twice: once at home and once on the road. Second stage results, along with the those from the first stage will count towards the final overall table, from which the best 16 teams will advance to the knockouts. The first team listed in each game is the home team.

Sunday, February 8: Match Day 1 - 1v4, 2v3
Monday, February 9: Match Day 2 - 4v3, 1v2
Tuesday, February 10: Match Day 3 - 2v4, 3v1
Wednesday, February 11: Match Day 4 - 4v1, 3v2
Thursday, February 12: Match Day 5 - 3v4, 2v1
Friday, February 13: Match Day 6 - 4v2, 1v3

Qualification Playoffs
Should there be teams with the same record as the 16th best team in the overall table following the second group stage, play-in games will be held at a neutral site to determine advancement as necessary.

Saturday, February 14: Preliminary Playoff
Monday, February 16: Qualifying Playoffs

World Bowl Playoffs
The playoffs will consist of a standard single-elimination knockout bracket, with games held at venues in the Equestrian States. Teams will not be re-seeded following each round of the playoffs.

Wednesday, February 18: Round of 16
Thursday, February 19: Quarterfinals
Friday, February 20: Semifinals
Saturday, February 21: Third Place Game
Sunday, February 22: Championship Game

LONELY MULTIVERSE
The Approx Guide to the Equestrian States

Introduction

The Pony Republic of Equestrian States is a diverse country inhabited by several dozen sapient species, each contributing to the nation's proud culture of tolerance and giving the Equestrian States a reputation of compassion and kindness. Tradition and innovation have combined well in this North Pony Lands nation, rapidly bringing it into the modern world after centuries of self-imposed isolation from the rest of the multiverse. This Lonely Multiverse travel guide is designed to be the ultimate companion for any tourist (regardless of his/her species) visiting the Equestrian States, and is loaded with every tip and bit of advice one needs to have an safe and enjoyable stay.

History

Originally colonized by sapient equines (commonly referred to as ponies) from Magical Equestria over 2000 years ago, the Equestrian States was first established as a largely-autonomous overseas territory of its motherland. As a colony, the Equestrian States was fairly prosperous, developing a matriarchal society similar to that of Magical Equestria and other prominent Pony Lands nations. Several decades after the first ponies set hoof on the islands now part of the Equestrian States, however, the rise of a mysterious and chaotic entity known as Discord led to the government of the growing colony to adopt strict isolationist policies to avoid attracting the attention of Discord.

Several centuries later, the anarchic reign of Discord in the Pony Lands came to an end, though the Equestrian States remained firmly entrenched in its isolationist policies. Having formally declared its independence from Magical Equestria during the rule of Discord, the Equestrian States was reluctant to turn away from the policies which had allowed it to escape the turmoil faced by the rest of the region. Yet another cataclysmic event, just over a millennia ago, saw the known world embroiled in conflict with itself and the fledgling former colony sunk deeper into isolation for the next several centuries.

However, about 200 years ago, the long-standing policies separating the Equestrian States from the rest of the region gradually began to erode with the rapid growth of international maritime trade. Though it would take until just 50 years ago for the remaining isolationist policies to be overturned or made obsolete, foreigners began to take note of the Equestrian States and its northern location in the Pony Lands. What finally drove the ponies of the Equestrian States to abandon isolationism entirely was commerce, with the nation's location being perfect as a refueling and stopping point for ships traveling from outside the Pony Lands.

Active membership in the Coalition of Ponyist States (a military, economic, and political alliance famed for its quick, efficient, and merciless dealings with nations actively persecuting sapient equines and other non-humans) gave the Equestrian States reason to become heavily involved in international politics and trade. Within a decade, the Equestrians entered the modern era, utilizing magic in creative ways to avoid industrial pollution wherever possible and speed the nation's development.

Today, the Equestrian States is an advanced country that has successfully merged tradition, magic, and technology. With an economy dominated by tourism, agriculture, and the mining of precious minerals, the Equestrians have found their niche in the international community. Thanks to its location in the Pony Lands, the Equestrian States has become a travel hub for many visiting the region from around the world, and the nation is easily among the more prosperous and safe for foreigners to visit.

Geography & Climate

The Equestrian States is best described as an island nation. However, most Equestrians live on the largest island, which is referred to by locals as the mainland, due to its size and role as a population and commercial center for the country.

The mainland is mostly flat grassland and plains, though forests and hilly areas exist and are generally scattered throughout the island. Running north to south are the Harmony Mountains, named for Mt. Harmony near the capital city of Canterlot. The mountain range divides the mainland into eastern and western geographic regions, and was once home to dozens of active volcanoes. However, no eruption has occurred in the Harmony Mountains in over 800 years, and the range is believed to be inactive. The ancient volcanic activity on the mainland (and on many of the Equestrian States' smaller islands, as well) resulted in mineral deposits from which Equestrian miners have extracted gold, silver, and other valuable materials for export.

Two notable exceptions to the mainland's grassy majority are the Everfree Forest and Southern Desert. The Everfree Forest is more of a jungle than a temperate forest, and is widely considered the most dangerous region in the Equestrian States due to its large numbers of wild carnivorous species, some of which would be considered "mythical" by foreigners. Within the Everfree Forest is the city of Everfree, located along the banks of the Stampede River and home to the largest population of non-equines in the nation. A number of more typical temperate forests surround the Everfree Forest itself.

The Southern Desert is (as one might expect) a dry region located in a small pocket of flat land surrounded by the Harmony Mountains near the southern coast. The only major population center in the Southern Desert is the small city of Appleoosa, located in what could be considered by some as a cooler oasis.

But where things begin to get weird for the average tourist is the Equestrian States' weather. Due to the magical nature of many of its inhabitants, the Equestrians are fully capable of creating, manipulating, and otherwise controlling the clouds and weather. This gives them the ability to determine where and when in rains, snows, hails, or any other . The Equestrian government is very actively involved in coordinating the pegasai of the country to generate and control weather patterns favorable to the Equestrian States inhabitants (and its many farmers, in particular). As such, the odds of an Equestrian weatherpony giving an incorrect forecast are almost nonexistent, unless you happen to be in the Everfree Forest (the only region of the Equestrian States where the weather is practically impossible to control due to a prevalence of wild magic).

Travel

Travelling to the Equestrian States is generally easy, as most methods of interregional travel are available to visitors from outside the Pony Lands. Most international flights to the Equestrian States arrive at Canterlot's Harmony International Airport, but other regularly-used airports such as Manehattan's Royal International and Stalliongrad's Friendship Heights International are easy to find flights to. However, it should be noted that pilots flying to and from the Equestrian States internationally must receive additional certification due to the nature of the Equestrian States and much of the Pony Lands. Because of this additional requirement for pilots, some airlines do charge extra to cover the training fees.

Another common way of reaching the States is via sea. Manehattan's seaport is among the most active in the North Pony Lands, and isn't located far from the heart of the Equestrian States' largest city.

Once in the Equestrian States, there are many other options for travel. Rental cars, taxis, and busses are easy to find in the larger cities such as Manehattan, Stalliongrad, and Everfree, though one might notice that most vehicles are electric-powered. But while cars and busses are regularly used in some cities, there are also several in which their use is limited to emergency services (most notably in Ponyville and Canterlot's Old City district) or is totally banned (as is the case in Cloudsdale).

However, the limited use of automobiles is balanced out by the proliferation of trains for travel between and within cities. Some of the more prominent and historical lines (such as the Ponyville-Canterlot Express) still use steam-powered engines or high-speed trains designed to mimic the classical appearance of an Equestrian train. Subways are also a common feature in Equestrian cities, spreading underground to connect many places of interest for foreign tourists. Cloudsdale is the only city where cars, buses, and trains/subways are unavailable.

But in the end, the most common method of travel in the Equestrian States is one's own two feet (or whatever you have to walk on). Few Equestrians drive or use public transportation unless they have to, preferring to take in the clean air on their way from place-to-place.

Culture & Society

Religion

Any analysis of Equestrian culture and society must begin with its majority religion and guiding philosophy: Harmonism. A dualistic religion, it revolves around the physical sun and moon deities, Celestia and Luna, as well as the six principles known as the Elements of Harmony. The religion's origins are near-impossible to determination, though it is widely believed to begun shortly after ponykind first encountered Celestia and Luna over two millennia ago. Unlike other religions, Harmonism lacks a written scripture or centralized multiversal organization to create such writings, occasionally resulting in disagreements between Harmonists from different regions. For the sake of brevity, we will only be exploring the most common spiritual and secular beliefs held by those from the Equestrian States.

As stated earlier, the central beliefs of Harmonism include the worship of the Regal Sisters (Celestia and Luna) and adherence to the Elements of Harmony. Celestia and Luna are the two Princess rulers of distant Magical Equestria, though Luna has (in recent years) begun to spend considerable time aiding the C'tan in preserving peace throughout the Pony Lands. Immortal and, according to spiritual Harmonists, capable of moving celestial bodies through magic, the two Regal Sisters are worshiped (or at least respected) by ponies throughout the multiverse as living goddesses. Some have recently begun to question the actual power of the Sisters, though it is widely accepted among ponykind that they are the two most powerful magical beings in existence.

The six Elements of Harmony are Honesty, Laughter, Kindness, Generosity, Loyalty, and Magic. These Elements exist both as philosophical concepts as well as physical objects capable of great power that contain the purest magical essence of the aforementioned virtues. The philosophical aspects of the Elements are more central to Harmonist faith as a set of morals to guide one throughout life. They are, for the most part, fairly self-explanatory, except for Magic. The sixth element has been connected not only to the ability of equine Harmonists to use magical spells, but also to the drive for new knowledge or understanding. It also has been connected to the power of friendship, and is mentioned in the most common Harmonist saying: "Friendship is Magic".

However, Harmonism has expanded from its spiritual roots (particularly as more non-equines are exposed to harmonist teachings) to become a secular philosophy as well. Secular Harmonists generally try to follow the virtues of Harmonism, though they generally do not believe that the Regal Sisters are physical goddesses. The expansion of Secular Harmonism has also led to the traditional virtues being adopted and woven into other religions as well, such as Christianity. Excluding the overwhelmingly Spiritual Harmonist equine population of the Equestrian States, the most common religion is Harmonist Christianity, which is especially popular among the human inhabitants of the nation.

Language

Traditionally, ponies have spoken in their native Equestrian tongue which is common throughout the Pony Lands. However, since the emergence of the Equestrian States into the international community, laws have been passed requiring citizens to be capable of speaking multiple languages. The most common non-Equestrian language is easily English, which is spoken by approximately two-thirds of the population. It should be noted that some English words have been altered by Equestrians to better fit the equine majority, as the use of "everypony", "anypony", "hoofball", and other such words are modifications of the more standard English words. Mastery of many different languages is especially common among Unicorns, and as they are generally the ones more involved in business, are easy enough to find for foreign visitors. Numerous translating services exist throughout the Equestrian States, and airport bookstores generally contain a plethora of multilingual dictionaries for purchase.

Food

As one might expect from a nation dominated by a species of herbivores, many traditional Equestrian dishes are vegetarian in nature. The proliferation of such food is also furthered by the general lack of agriculture for the purpose of raising up animals for the slaughter. To hurt another living creature is, to many Equestrians, simply unthinkable. However, the Equestrian States is not only inhabited by equines, but also by griffons, dragons, and humans (among others). Restaurants do exist to cater to these non-equine species, and do serve a wide variety of meats imported from outside of the region. That being said, it would be unwise to be seen in public eating a hamburger made from beef or any other meat product as many Equestrians are disgusted by such foods. This can make finding food difficult in smaller cities and in the nicer areas of the larger ones. A general tip would be: if your waiter looks like a herbivore, don't ask them for a cheeseburger or steak. Equestrian cafes are fairly creative with what they can do with non-meat products, and the bread and pastries are oftentimes better than what you might find in other nations.

Drink in the Equestrian States also differs significantly from other nations around the multiverse, as the most common alcoholic beverage is hard cider, which can be found at virtually every bar, pub, and restaurant. Ponies generally refrain from drinking too heavily, but other non-human sapients such as griffons are known to consume vast quantities of alcohol in a single sitting. We advise our human readers to graciously decline any drinking challenges offered, as one is unlikely to win, and drunk griffons can be notoriously temperamental. Beer is a distant second to cider, in terms of both popularity and availability, though bars and eateries which cater to human tourists will often keep domestic Equestrian brands in stock.

Inter-Species Relations

As the Equestrian States is home to a wide range of species, it is practically impossible for any visitor to the country to avoid seeing a member of another species, regardless of where they might be. Unicorns could pull this off in certain neighborhoods of Canterlot, and Earth Ponies could do the same in isolated rural areas, though foreigners will often stumble across other species upon entry into the Equestrian States as customs officials are perhaps the most diverse Equestrian demographic.

Relations between the three major pony races have not always been smooth, and some tensions still exist today despite the educational system's teaching of acceptance and tolerance. However, inter-species violence is very rare within the Equestrian States, as is violence in general, with the possible exceptions coming from dragons, griffons, and other more naturally-aggressive species. Angering a dragon is about as dumb as it sounds, and is not advised unless one has a death wish.

Visitors to the Equestrian States are also advised to avoid appearing speciesist to locals, as Equestrian society could be described as having a herd mentality, where an attack against or insult towards one person might be considered an attack on all those around that person. Thus, some words to avoid using in the Equestrian States are: horse, mule, foal, or donkey. Calling a pony any of those terms is likely to result in a backlash towards the offending individual, as they are considered to be offensive unless one is actually speaking to a sapient horse or donkey, which are both easy to tell apart from ponies through their size and general lack of bright-colored fur or manes.

Vermark National Handegg Team
In Vermark, the sport of handegg (American Football) is considered another code of rugby and is governed by such the Vermark Rugby Federation (VRF). It is by no means a vastly popular sport in Vermark; however, like the other codes of rugby, handegg has a decent sized population of followers with a stronghold in the plains region of the country. Varish players tend to be smaller in size, but often much quicker. They tend to favor the running game, and most passing plays will stem from play action. Varish handegg players have two seasons: one for handegg (American Football) in the fall months and one for Northern Rules (Canadian Football) in the spring.

The Pony Republic of Equestrian States
National Gridiron Team - World Bowl XXV Roster

Introduction
Though the Equestrian States currently boasts one of the World Bowl's better-known and most consistent teams, the Fire Ponies' (as the national gridiron team has been nicknamed by its fans) international debut was anything but impressive. At the Baptism of Iron prior to World Bowl XVII, the Equestrians crashed out of the group stage with a 1-3 record, the only time the Fire Ponies have ever finished a tournament with a sub-.600 winning percentage. Fortunately, the team would manage to turn things around in time for their first World Bowl and scraped together a winning 6-4 record, missing the playoffs and finishing 4th their group on point differential. It was at that World Bowl that the Equestrians first faced two nations that would become their gridiron rivals in the next couple years: Yesopalitha and German Zerabithea. Returning for World Bowl XVIII, the Fire Ponies stormed to an impressive 8-2 record, but in a cruel twist of fate were denied both the group title and a playoff berth on point differential for the second straight year.

Strategy

Offense
The Fire Ponies generally aren’t known for being a strong offensive team overall, with the defense being the indisputable cornerstone of their success (though recent years have seen the offense steadily improve its performance). That’s not to say that the Equestrians don’t have a few tricks up their metaphorical sleeves, of course. On the ground, the Fire Ponies have a rugged and very determined running game that can eat up clock but earn reasonable yardage at the same time, setting up some of the long-range field goals that the team is extremely well-known for. The natural abilities of sapient ponies give their kicks considerably more strength than the average human does. Thus, it’s not unusual to see the field goal team come on the field even when they’re over 60 yards away from the uprights. Why? In one of their World Bowl XVIII games, the team scored 21 points off of field goals, three of which were from longer than 65 yards. Two years after that defining result, in a group stage game against Saintland, Blackmane (the Equestrians' legendary star kicker) hammered eight field goals through the uprights from more than 50 yards out, and would set a personal best the following week with a 70 yard attempt that was spot-on.

Defense
Brutal and relentless are the two words that most analysts choose to describe the Equestrians’ tough-as-nails defense. If you want to score on the Equestrian States, you’re not going to have an easy time doing it without the help of over-zealous officials. The records offer confirmation of just how difficult it is to score against the Fire Ponies, as the team has recorded 31 shutouts in their 72 World Bowl victories and rarely concede more than 21 points in a game. The intimidation factor of predatory dragons and griffons on the Equestrian line is considered to be a major factor in the team's defensive success, and has caused several fainting spells among opposing offensive linemen from time-to-time. Thus, blitzes are a specialty of the Fire Ponies, with the lineponies often presenting few avenues of escape for a targeted quarterback. As the Equestrian defense regularly forces turnovers, they are also a potent scoring machine for the team.

Stadium

Name: The Royal Coliseum
Location: Canterlot, Equestrian States
Capacity: 65,775

The oldest of the growing number of large stadiums in the Equestrian States dedicated solely to the sport of gridiron, the Royal Coliseum is home to the Canterlot Crowns and is capable of holding 65,755 ponies and other assorted species. When the stadium was constructed about ten years ago, the press (or at least the few reporters who bothered to write about gridiron) criticized the move to allow for such a large capacity considering the low popularity of the sport. However, such critics seem to have been proven wrong, as the domestic popularity of gridiron has since soared.

Godmod Scoring Events: Yes
RP Injuries to my Players: Yes - Limited to minor injuries only without TG permission

Other Notes: If you wish to do something that is either not listed as allowed in my RP permissions or really out of the ordinary, I require that you ask me (via TG) at least two hours prior to RP cutoff so my own post can account for the unusual event. Failure to send a TG in time will likely result in your request being turned down as I will probably have already begun work on my own RP. Also, feel free to TG me if you want more IC info on my team or nation.

Gridiron (as it is known in Barunia) does not have a large popularity in the country. No professional, semi-professional or school/university leagues exist, and much of this team has been thrown together from other sports. Most are from Rugby Union (itself not very popular in the country, but a semi-professional league does exist), while others come from the more popular sports of Field Hockey, Association Football, and in the case of Ryan Dunne, Cricket. Olympic sports has also proved a good place to find players: A few of the stronger players are professional judokas, while Frank Hammond is an Olympic sprinter. Lyle Firmin has also represented Barunia in the Olympics as a gymnast.

Because of the limited popularity of the sport in the country, the team is not as large as it might otherwise be. As such, many players double up in the offensive, defensive and specialist teams. Some players have moved from the positions they played in the Baptism of Iron.

Team Name and Kits
The team name is the Barunia Sea Cows, and take their name from the Barunian Sea Cow, or White Dugong, a rare Sirenian which is known to live only in the deep sea and coastal waters around Barunia. Team kits utilise the three colours of the Barunian flag, with the helmets in yellow, a colour often associated with Barunian sports. The distinctive white stripe flanked by two thin red lines on the flag is a dominant feature in the kit; it features on the socks, the side of the pants, the shoulders of the shirts, and down the centre of the helmet.
Kits are made by Barunian company Foroni Fabrics.

Stadium
Hedley Tannock Field (Karl Marx University), Samford, Havenia
Usually used for Rugby, Hedley Tannock Field is located on the grounds of Karl Marx University, and named after the university's first chancellor. There is a permanent 1,250-seat grandstand, and for the tournament, a temporary stand with an extra 1050-seats will be set up to allow for 3,500 spectators to view the event. Expected numbers are a lot less, however, and it will depend a lot on the number of away fans. KMU is located in Samford, a small city about 50 kilometres south-west of Barunia's capital Porthaven, in the state of Havenia.

THE NATIONAL GRIDIRON FOOTBALL TEAM OF NEU ENGOLLON
The IBEX

The Ibex of Neu Engollon are new to the sport of gridiron in the last few years, with a small minor league starting out and a handful of university teams playing in a collective conference for experience. With rugby being the far more popular sport, and association football rapidly rising and surpassing hockey to become the second, not much room is left in athletic budgets, private or TCS Ministry, for American or Gridiron football. The Ministry of Athletics for the Confederacy has decided that this collection of men (and one woman - Reyna Holtzen) that were pulled from the various minor league and university teams for the last bowl cycle, would continue to represent Neu Engollon, even after a quite lackluster performance last time around. Oh boy! Here goes absolutely nothing.

Timbermunich Football
LumberKings: Felling Trees with Big Axes

About
The Lumberjacks or Jacks, as they are often called, that make up the LumberKing’s roster are a brawny bunch plucked from the limbs of Great TimberOaks which stand deep within the Great Timbermunich Forest. These Great TimberOaks are massive trees that make up the central portion of the Great Timbermunich Forest, the trees stand at nearly 424 meters tall with trunks that can reach upwards of 32 meters in diameter. It is said that these Lumberjacks once selected spend their entire life within the Great Timbermunich Forest. To be a Jack in Timbermunich is a great honor and they are selected by The Great Battle Axe while still in utero. They are tasked with guarding the Great Timbermunich Forest from all harm (natural or otherwise) starting at their birth and continuing to their death, that is if they actually do die as no one has ever witnessed a Jacks death nor has a Jacks body ever been discovered void of life they seem to vanish from existence once they reach and estimated 250 years of forest protection. It is also said that each of the Great TimberOaks has a single Jack to watch along with the shared duty over the rest of the Great Timbermunich Forest. If true this would mean that there are approximately 450 thousand Jacks, there are also nearly 100000 trees (multiple genomes) per living Timbermunichers (everyday folks: 50 million) so there are a great number of trees to watch over.
You may be asking what this has to do with a football team, well you see the Jacks get a small senescence in which they are able to leave the Great Timbermunich Forest and they choose to play sports during this abscission time. Much of the lore around the Jacks seems to indicate this is their final farewell before vanishing from the forest. It is unknown if a Jack gets more than one senescence or not, we have seen some Jacks on more than one cycles roster, but since the legends are not written down we don’t know if this is due to the length of ones senescence or if they have more than one. They do seem to stick with the more strength and power sporting events, which we attribute to their physical stature and strength. After all they spend their entire life wielding one or sometimes two Double Bit Great Felling Axe, an axe that no normal human can lift. This doesn’t mean we don’t see them in finesse sports; it’s just more common for them to choose physical sports more during their senescence.

Stadium

Fressen Hundefutter Stadion

Fressen Hundefutter Stadion: Capacity 78,000|Location: Wortwort, Hefebayern
Fressen Hundefutter is a new stadium with many great features. It is an open air stadium so both players and fans are subjected to what ever mother nature throws at it, to an extent. The field however is heated and typically stays at a nice 45 to 50 degrees right at grass level even when the outside temperature dips down into the single or below zero digits. It also has cooling fans with misters built just under the first row of seats so on those hot HopNation days players have a few spots to keep cool. Fan comforts are also something that was considered when this facility was erected. Throughout the concourses there are heaters as well as the same cooling fans that the players have, so depending on the outside temperature the fans will also be somewhat comfortable. The stadium seats themselves do not have cooling elements but they do have a self regulated heater that each fan can set to his/her comfort level, however the heater quality degrades as the ticket price decreases so fans in the cheapest sections have a far less reliable seat than those in the prime expensive sections. Viewer pleasure was also something that was considered during construction, so there are a number of video boards throughout and no seat has an obstructed view of the field. Each seat also has a headphone jack so they can listen to the games broadcast if desired (Ear Buds or Headphones not provided).

Cosumar National Football Team - World Bowl XXV

Basic Information

Nation: The Fiefdom of Cosumar

Demonym: Cosumarite

Stadium: Sweethaven Stadium

Capacity: 88,000

Location: Port Stoneshore, Cosumar

Nickname: Dragons

Debut: Baptism of Iron VI (3rd place), World Bowl XI

Ranking: 12

Style Modifier: Moderately Offensive (+2)

Football in Cosumar:
Football, as it is known here, is the second most popular spectator sport behind only soccer. The Cosumar Football League (CFL) commands a strong Fiefdom-wide following. See my domestic newswire (link in sig) for league results. Cosumar's World Bowl team is a collection of All-Stars from the CFL. Cosumar also boasts one of the most prominent college football programs in the world at Ramusok Capital University (RCU), which won the most recent edition of Nation States College Football. As such, many of Cosumar's World Bowl players have past experience in NSCF with either RCU or Stoneshore College from prior to their CFL careers. For example, Ramusok Capital University's star NSCF-winning quarterback Brandon Reigner was drafted into the CFL by the Emerald Cove Conquistadores and won Rookie of the Year, landing him a third-string role on the National Team for this World Bowl. As previously mentioned, football is immensely popular in the Fiefdom at collegiate, professional, AND international levels. Many fans stubbornly take offense to use of terms other than "football" when describing the sport.

The Leviathans of Schottia

G.F.C
World Bowl XXV

Team Info
There is no tradition of the sport in Schottia, with only a small amateur league serving eight teams. With that said the team's third place in the Baptism of Iron will have come as a huge surprise to player as much as to the fans back home. The team received a grant before the tournament, from a government funding body, thus allowing them to quit their jobs and train for the tournament. Expectations for the team will not be particularly high at the World Bowl, if they could pick up a couple of wins against some of the more experienced teams then it would be considered a good learning curve.

The players are from a range of different ages and sporting backgrounds. A few come over from rugby union and rugby league, along with a couple of youngsters who played the sport while studying in countries such as Novitera or the Allamunnic States. Expectations for the team will not be particularly high, with qualifying out of their BoI group the main target.

Playing Style
The Leviathans are considerably stronger in offence than in defence, relying heavily on veteran quarterback Lewis Patterson, the only one of the team to have played professionally. Particularly in defence, expect the Schottia to be pretty rough around the edges. There will be a lot of gritty, aggressive blocks and tackles owing to their lack of experience. In attack they will look to move the ball very quickly trying to catch their opponents of guard.

Schottia have a strong kicker in the form of Mark Tomkins-Brown, a former Rugby player, who has a keen eye for goal.

National American football team

This will be Abanhfleft's second time participating in the World Bowl.

Official history: This will be Abanhfleft's second time playing the World Bowl. Their last performance in the World Bowl XXIV was forgettable, at best.

THEREISNOGODISTAN COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE
OFFICIAL TEAM SHEET

Thereisnogodistan County is a county in the Abanhfleft colony of the Fhulghamous Peninsula. It was established on November 30, 2014 from the splitting of Haritzaga County, by Colonial Executive Order No. 190047. The southern part of the county retained the name and history of Haritzaga County, while the northern part was named Thereisnogodistan County. The county seat is Thereisnogodabad.

Thereisnogodistan County Community College is an American football team based in Thereisnogodabad, Fhulghamous Peninsula. Its home ground is Richard Dawkins Park, a newly-built 8,000-seater park named after the prominent atheist Richard Dawkins, which is also currently Thereisnogodistan FC's home ground. The team is set to be integrated into Abanhfleft's NCAA football. Thereisnogodistan County Community College had requested to play in the World Bowl through the Fleftic Commission on Games and Sports to acquire some crucially needed experience before it began playing against some of Abanhfleft's best colleges and universities.

BASIC INFORMATION
Name of team: Thereisnogodistan FC
Team colors: Yellow shirt, pants, socks, and helmet (home); white shirt, pants, socks, and helmet (away)
Style modifier: +3.5. Thereisnogodistan is inspired by Fleftic sporting philosophy in that the best defense is offense.
Manager: Francois-Michel Nkong'o (Abanhfleft, 39 years old)

HOME STADIUM

NOTE: Since Thereisnogodistan County Community College is a small college, the team will not have as many reserves as they would like, and therefore injuries are very much not good for the team. An injury might force a safety to become a temporary quarterback, and such cross-position training is not very popular within Abanhfleft's sporting systems.

Walamzian National Football Team Information

Stadium: Vrankel Motors Stadium, Calacea

The stadium will have temporary seating on the far endzone for the World Bowl, plus upgrades in bathrooms and concessions, along with a permanent upgrade to the locker rooms. The stadium is the home of the Calcea Monsters of the Walamzian Football League, the biggest football team in the country, partly because this is the only area of the country that actually cares about it. Calacea is located approximately 2 hours driving distance from the capital of Rottington, and is very underdeveloped. Free transit will be provided for all national teams from their hotel in Rottington to the game. A hotel was planned for the visitors, but it was scrapped due to the inability to complete it on time.

About the Stadium Sponsor: Vrankel Motors is located in Calacea, and is the most successful auto company in Calacea. Unfortunately, it has not received a tremendous ovation in the other parts of Walamzia due to its reputation (Calacea itself shares that) of being cheapskates with the cars they sell. A report came out in the Calacea Courier that they stripped the engine of a Ford GT with that of a Mazda 6, causing some quiet uproar around the rest of the nation. There are motels around town in which fans can stay, but none have the accommodations necessary to house a football team.

Roster: (positions in parentheses are the starters on defense. Walamzia players play both offense and defense. A player designated Ret is a kickoff or punt returner)

#98 J.L. Watt (DT)
#97 Cardalle Suggs (DT)
#96 Brian Seager (LE)

K/P: Leo Nixon

Strategy: The team typically runs a 4-3 style. Heap is usually not playing LB, but he is capable in case of injury. On offense, the team typically runs an I-formation with Williams lined up as a FB, but he is used if we run a 5-receiver set. We almost always go for the extra point. Players are listed in order from starter to bench for the position players for their offensive position.

The Karditan Ironworkers

Coming mostly from the rough streets of Detrot and Sinsinatti, the Ironworkers are the biggest and the strongest that managed to bash their way onto the national gridiron. They specialize in stopping the other team cold, delivering quick crushing hits that'll make your jaw rattle just watching. They have no particular preference on how to start drives; some call it a lack of focus, we call it flexibility. Passing and running can and will be used on all downs, forcing the opponents to constantly readjust and guess. (To be honest, the kicker and the defense combined often outscore the offense.) Of course all pegasus competitors play with their wings tied to be fair.

Home Stadium: Redzzon Coliseum, Indianeighpolis; Cap. 120 000. They sure do love their football in Indianeighpolis. Football football football. Not baseball, no, and not just because their team is consistently terrible. Football. And if you do anything to insult their football, well, they've got pretty good hospitals. The denizens (70% pony) are the loudest, most obnoxious fans Karditan has to offer, which is partially why they have this giant stadium to root in. That and Redzzon Oil is based in Indianeighpolis and has a ludicrous amount of profits to throw around. They've also got a big-screen scoreboard the size of a house hanging above the western stands.

Stadium: Tzar Zachary 1st National Stadium (previously known as the Tzar Zachary 1st National center) , which holds up to 64,000 people.

(This is just there so I can just copy and paste after each bowl, having image issues atm, so don't question why this is here.)

RP: As said up there, the team runs a fast pace offense, while sporting a defense designed to force QBs to make mistakes, if you are an experienced team, feel free to laugh as my team fails to faze you, but if you lose, some of it probably worked, especially if you have a young inexperience QB, which the defense was made to take advantage of. On the whole though, I don't usually care what you write about, however, if you want to kill or injure someone. Tele me first. Also, I realize that my nation name does not reflect this, but both the G and the Z are capitalized.

Head Coach: Buck Natters, 78

Strategy: On offence, Natters uses a 2 RB set and uses a smashmouth running attack to force the safeties to watch the RB and then airs it out deep to the wideouts and uses the TE either as a blocker or a receiver. On defense, Naters uses a complex zone blitz scheme that involves LB's and DE's dropping in and out of zone coverage changing blitzing schemes while the CB's play man on the outside helped out by the safeties to watch any deep pass

Notes

The Holy Republican Empire (HRE), formerly known as the Federation of Free Republics (FFR), is a Federal Empire with a Republican form of government, governed by the Holy Party, in the name of the True Church of Iesus Christus (A.K.A. "The Church of Saintland"). The Holy Party came to power after a series of shocking events, due to the use of voting machines that were programmed, by True Church members, to intentionally rig the election in their favor (however, this is not public knowledge, ICly and few people suspect that the election was rigged). However, the Holy Party only commands a plurality of the Assembly and a minority faction in the Senate, so they must rely on coalitions (limiting their power to reshape the traditionally ultra-libertarian Republican culture). The Republican military remains as trigger-happy as ever, though, but with a government that is now much more open to warmongering (so long as the war is conducted for the purpose of spreading the True Faith). The players on this team would not necessarily be considered the best players in the HRE. Republican athletes tend to have massive egos and often aren't interested in playing for their country.

This team, like other Holy Republican National Teams, was created by its coach. In this case, it was the creation of Logan Allen. Coach Allen has been a successful assistant coach for many professional teams, but he has never been offered a job as a head coach. After the promising start to the National Soccer Team program run by Rule Theriault, Allen decided to start his own National Team in football. Since football is the most popular sport in the Free Republics, it was easy to find investors for the team and Coach Allen quickly obtained the funds he needed and then some. When he heard that Saintland wanted to host the 22nd edition of the World Bowl, he contacted the Sanctii embassy and they put together a joint bid, using the Casaran format that had been used in the ill-fated Saintland-Legalese World Cup bid. The Republican National Team has a truly massive roster, filled with depth. If a player is struggling, Coach Allen will be perfectly happy to bench that player and give somebody else a chance.

Coach Allen chose to go with an offensive based around a dual-threat quarterback, usually throwing or running out of the pistol formation. Thus, all of the quarterbacks on the roster are dual threats. Meier Pongor is a 255-pound power running back. Rasmussen is more of a balanced back. Neither of them catch passes well, so Jake Willis will come in on 3rd downs. Rosado is a possession receiver. Basic is a deep threat, but he is notoriously inconsistent and a poor route runner. The tight ends are primarily pass-catching tight ends. If the Free Republics need extra blockers for a play, Allen will bring in an extra offensive lineman instead. Defensively, the Free Republics play a bend-but-don't-break scheme, involving heavy amounts of Cover 2, Cover 3 and Cover 4. The zone defensive scheme can confuse inexperienced quarterbacks. Alfie Lord is the star of the defense. He is a very good middle linebacker with the potential to become a dominant player at the position. Kwiatkowski is the team's best pass rusher, but he is downright awful against the run. Zuyev is a very accurate kicker, but van Harn has the stronger leg and would be called upon if the Free Republics needed a 60-yard field goal to win a game. Connor Stewart is a dangerous return man whom opposing teams will want to avoid.

A major controversy surrounded the team coming into World Bowl XXIV, thanks to Jonas Rasmussen, the team's change-of-pace running back. Several months prior to that World Bowl, Rasmussen was arrested as part of a domestic disturbance involving his fiance. The couple later married. Rasmussen competed at that World Bowl and was not be suspended or fined or otherwise punished for his actions. He remains, to this day, one of, if not the, most popular player on the Holy Republican National Team. At that World Bowl, the Holy Republican National Team looked like a serious contender for the first time, but ultimately failed to advance out of a tough group that also included traditional international gridiron powers Cosumar and the Equestrian States. Coming into this World Bowl, they expect to finally make the playoffs, for the first time ever.

Gregoryisgodistan Drawn into Supremely Easy Group

Gregoryisgodistan's beloved Grid Slaves have been drawn into a supremely easy group featuring them, DBostick, Sheffland, and Nukehavistan. The latter three teams all made their debut in the Baptism of Iron XVII, which was held in Gregoryisgodistan. None of them did particularly well. Gregoryisgodistan can expect to go 6-0. Unfortunately, this does not mean they will move on to the next round but that they will move on to the second group stage, where they will be seeded as a group winner and be drawn with some team which finishes second, some team which finishes third, and some team which finishes last in their group. From there, the top 16 teams overall across all groups will move on, without regards to where they finished in the group.

Enemy Crusher Carl Paladino vowed to crush as many opposing players as possible, particularly in this weak group featuring several nations too incompetent to bother posting a roster. The brave, noble, Enemy Crusher said "I like crushing and you will see a lot of crushing at the World Bowl. My teammates all like crushing too. We are professional Enemy Crushers. We will go undefeated in the first round and crush at least 200 people, fans and players alike. Mark my words. We will be crushing. We will be crushing everyone to death. Now, let me unveil to you the Enemy Crusher Song, which I will now sing in a duet with Lord Almighty Gregory himself.
(OOC: This is to the tune of "The Lumberjack Song" from Monty Python.)

I'm an Enemy Crusher and I will crush
I turn my enemies to mush

Yes he's an Enemy Crusher and he will crush
He turns his enemies to mush

I crush Sanctii, I crush heathens
I'll crush Sheffland on the gridiron field
And then I'll crush our other opponents too

He crushes Sanctii, he crushes heathens
He'll crush Sheffland on the gridiron field
And then he'll crush his other opponents too

Yes he's an Enemy Crusher and he will crush
He turns his enemies to mush

I crush Guayabalese who say forbidden words
I crush Hicanans until they die
I like to crush my enemies just so I can hear them scream

He crushes Guayabalese who say forbidden words
He crushes Hicanans until they die
He likes to crush his enemies just so he can hear them scream

Yes he's an Enemy Crusher and he will crush
He turns his enemies to mush

I will crush my opponents if they blaspheme the Lord
If they claim Eye-ee-zus is God
I'll crush the refs if they make bad calls too

He'll crush his opponents if they blaspheme the Lord
If they claim Eye-ee-zus is God
He'll crush the refs if thy make bad calls too

Yes he's an Enemy Crusher and he will crush
He turns his enemies to mush

Oh I'm an Enemy Crusher and I will crush
I turn my enemies to mush

Walamzia Drawn Into Tough Group

The fledgling Walamzian national football team has been drawn into the World Bowl group with the following teams:

Group 4
United States of Devonta (68)
Azrea (128)
Walamzia (95)
Cosumar (12)

Walamzia is predicted to finish 3rd in the group, and even that is a tough ask. The coaching staff believes that the lack of interest in football anywhere outside Calacea hurts the national game, and that is reflective in the team's ranking. We will hope for a 2nd place finish in the group, but we think that 4th is what we're going to get due to tired legs from our players from some of them having to do double duty by playing on both sides of the ball. Luckily, most of the players who can play both sides are deep on the bench for the skilled positions, so they shouldn't be that tired. However, should injuries begin to occur, the team will be knackered by the 3rd game. The strength and conditioning coach needs to be on the top of his game to attempt to prevent as many injuries as possible while keeping the players working under these tough conditions.

World Bowl XXV Roster

Nation: Federation of Allamunnic States
Official Nickname: The Regulars
Unofficial Nicknames: The Blue-and-Grey
Uniforms:
From left: Blue (home), Gray (away), Black (alternate)

Defensive Coordinator: Elias Mourner (Age: 44) – To nobody's surprise, long-time national team player and coach Elias Mourner took over as defensive coordinator following Jethro Myers' departure to a head coaching job in the AGL. Mourner has spent part of the off-season adding the 3-3-5 to the Allamunnic defensive repertoire, although all indications are that the 3-4 will remain the Regulars' default front, with the 4-3 and 3-3-5 being situational fronts for a versatile unit. He has also already shown some proficiency in dialing up blitzes, so nobody should expect a fall-off in quality defensive play for the team.

Defensive Line Coach: Theodur Laansur (Age: 41) - Theo Laansur's job has become more focused with Archie Wagner joining him as an assistant line coach. Although Laansur is still, in the end, in charge of all defensive linemen, he can now devote most of his attention to the interior of the defensive line, to the tackles and nosetackles. If you're noticing a pattern, Laansur is another retired former Regular, in his third year of coaching.

Defensive Line Assistant Coach: Archie Wagner (Age: 38) - Archie Wagner retired after World Bowl XXII and was promptly offered a job as Theo Laansur's assistant coaching the defensive line for the Regulars. He jumped at the opportunity, and so now his job is broadly as an assistant position coach to Laansur. However, Laansur has specifically delegated coaching up the defensive ends to Wagner, leaving him in charge of his former position and unit-mates.

Linebackers Coach: Miles Ryan (Age: 40) - Following his retirement from playing, the Regulars were happy to bring former Regulars linebacker Miles Ryan back as inside linebackers coach, one of two coaches being brought in to replace Jethro Myers in his capacity as a position coach. Ryan has seventeen years of playing experience with the National Team, Thomasburg Ironmongers, and Grimmeberg Broncos, and should be a good choice to coach up the same position he played at.

Linebackers Assistant Coach: Jason Ridley (Age: 40) - Jason Ridley has been added to the coaching staff to help Miles Ryan replace Jethro Myers in his capacity as a position coach, coaching the outside linebackers. Ridley is one of the few former players on this staff that never played for the national team, instead having spent his entire sixteen-year career as a strong-side linebacker with the Leifspurt Vikings. However, as a player who spent his entire career undersized, he's gotten by on excellent technique, which makes him a logical choice as a coach.

Defensive Backs Coach: Andrik Ierunmungur (Age: 40) - Another recently-retired Regular, Andrik Ierunmungur was one of the team's best corners until his retirement after World Bowl XXII. For now, he'll be in charge of coaching the cornerbacks specifically, but there's plenty of reason to think he's slated to replace Elias Mourner as the secondary's position coach.

Defensive Backs Assistant Coach: Leif Coelmunn (Age: 33) - Coelmunn was a back-up safety on the team for quite some time, generally doomed by a lack of physical talent in spite of spot-on technique. Although the move was initially panned by many ("he wasn't even good!" being a frequent refrain), initial reviews from players and other coaches have confirmed the move as a good one.

Style Modifier: -1
Choose Scorers: I'd rather you didn't. If you do choose my scorers, if I RP within twenty-four hours, I may ask you to change my scorers. This is due to specific story-lines and characters I may want to emphasize.
Injure Players: You may injure my players; I'd prefer you not injure more than two or three in a game, and while the injury may end the player's involvement in that game, I will decide on any further inactivity for a player caused by injury.
Penalize Players: Any team considered to be a rival of the Allamunnic States (i.e. Qazox, Cassadaigua, Karditan), pretty much gets a pass to do this at will; those games may slip into 'dirty' territory. Anyone else may penalize, but should keep it realistic.
Godmod Injuries: Yes, but with same provisos as injuring players through normal means. I determine severity outside game-ending (for the player).
Godmod Other Events: Don't kill anyone or conflict with any of the above permissions. Also, if you're gonna do this, have some fun with it.
Photographs: Please do not use photographs with any players intended to depict players on my team.
Note: All players have stats of Age, Height, Weight, Tendencies, College, and Hometown provided, along with a brief description.
Additional Note: Aggressive does not even begin to describe the Allamunnic defense; if you're ranked below me and not an Allamunnic rival, I'd appreciate it if you at least made a note of any success on the ground being difficult. Moreover, whether or not they're sacks, opposing QB's tend to get hit a lot. They might well be successful, but try to keep in mind that your QB (again, unless you're in the Top Ten or one of my rivals) will likely be getting smacked around a lot (or at least make note of an exceptional effort to contain the pass rush). (Credit where credit is due: Cassadaigua first put this sort of note in, and it seemed to be a good idea, so I've followed suit).
Team Captains (Coin-Toss Purposes):
Offense: Haanryk Suldurmunn (C)
Defense: Isabelle Margusunn (FS)
Special Teams: Wyatt Skode (P)

The Regulars experienced what is, for them, a down-year at the 24th World Bowl, and find themselves ranked 4th in the world entering the 25th World Bowl.

That suits them just fine. Many within the team have pointed out that the Regulars won their first championship while ranked 4th. A fifth title certainly does not seem out of the question, with a very similar coaching staff and roster to the one that won the 23rd World Bowl taking the field for this edition.

Offensively, although Torren Waalturs seems to have made a point of adding more variety to the playbook, this is still an Allamunnic gridiron squad: expect them to focus first on moving the ball on the ground. Expect ball-control and efficiency to matter more than explosiveness. Expect the quarterback to put up less-than-inspiring numbers.

Defensively, expect the front seven to stuff the run and put pressure on passers, while the secondary will likely be boom-and-bust, alternating giving up big plays and making big plays.
