Rugby (Domestic, League & Union) OOC discussion thread.

[Sorthern Northland]

Does what it says on the tin. An out of character discussion thread for all things rugby related on NS. If you have OOC comments to make, please try and post them here rather than in an IC thread. Below can be found the NS Rugby Board Governing Document, the constitution of rugby's governing body here on NS.

NS Rugby Board Governing Document

The NS Rugby Board (hereafter NSRB) governs the World Cups of rugby union, rugby league, and rugby sevens in NS Sports.

Membership of the NSRB and of its Union Section, League Section, or Sevens Section is granted to all nations that posted a roster in the last completed Rugby World Cup (RWC), Rugby League World Cup (RLWC), or Rugby Sevens World Cup (R7WC) respectively. (The Rugby Sevens Series International is treated as the first R7WC.) A single player controlling two or more NSRB member nations may only vote through one of them on any given question.

The NSRB as a whole select the hosts of each RWC, RLWC, and R7WC. The NSRB Sections also elect a Vice President periodically, after a cycle of four or more World Cups including at least one of each of the three types has been completed. All NSRB members entered into the tournament may vote on host bids, but only the members of a Section may vote for that section's Vice President.

At the first election of all Section Vice Presidents, the Union Section VP shall be designated as NSRB President with the League Section VP as First Vice President and the Sevens Section VP as Second Vice President. At the second such election, these posts are assigned in the order League-Sevens-Union, and at the third such election Sevens-Union-League.

The President of the NSRB opens signup threads for the three World Cups and oversees selection of their hosts, organises the election of Section Vice Presidents as called for above, organises votes on properly proposed amendments to this document as stated below, and chairs the Executive Council for the resolution of emergencies.

The Vice Presidents of the NSRB take up the duties of the President in sequence, First then Second, when that officer becomes temporarily or permanently unable or unwilling to perform the above duties. Both also serve on the Executive Council for the resolution of emergencies.

NSRB members shall not vote in a host bid election or Section Vice President election where they are a candidate. The President or acting President shall appoint another NSRB member to supervise balloting when they are a candidate.

A two-thirds majority of those voting is required to approve amendments to this document, which must first be proposed and endorsed in the current rugby discussion thread by three persons who each represent a different section. All NSRB members are eligible to vote on amendments.

Ooo, a new rugby thread. When will the RWC thread be up?

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2549 <-the Domestic rugby thread. The third installments of the RWCC and HC will be after the BoF sometime.

I'm not going to do football-esque transfers and there's no need to ask permission, but given our surprising dominance of the Challenge/Heroes' Cups, if anyone wants to list one or two of their players as belonging to one of my clubs when you submit a RWC roster, you're welcome to do so: it seems reasonable they'd have some foreign players as there's no way my domestic players could do that well on their own.

[Taeshan]

Another threa on which im not going to learn anything about Rugby even though i enter all the events. Yeah.

[Kelssek]

If you'd really actually like to learn a little about one of the world's most popular sports, you could just ask. I could try to write a quick summary. Do you want that?

[Taeshan]

Not really. I'm just in it for the glory.

Same goes for me, just ask on via tg or on irc and i'll say yes unless I already have a specific player in that position. People can make up Somewhereistonians to play in their league as well, just so long as you ask/tell me (everything must of course be within reason).

[Sorthern Northland]

Scores for tonight's round of matches will most likely be around midnightish as opposed to the usual 2000-2200 timeslot as I'll be at football this evening.

Unless of course a goose or swan attacks me on the way back.

[Somewhereistonia]

I feel sorry for oreington canada. They have done so well up to now.

[Sorthern Northland]

I'll be out all of Monday so if the scores aren't up in the usual time frame that'll be why. In all probability though I'll be back before 2000 so they'll probably be up around then.

[Quintessence of Dust]

Bugger.

[Taeshan]

WTF man, both me and Candelaria win, wasn't expecting that. Its cool though, i like it, gives me a chance to win it.

[Somewhereistonia]

Just a note for future hosts. At times the rankings I make (especially in Union) are liable to open up quite large; and unreasonable gaps, between nations. So, when awarding the bonus' for scorination, you should use the position in the ranking, not the nations ranking points.

This of course draws nothing from any recent scorination.

I hate putting these into code boxes, they never seem to work properly. It's not too difficult wo figure out anyway.

[Quintessence of Dust]

By the way, do you have the Union rankings, to update NSwiki?

[Somewhereistonia]

By the way, do you have the Union rankings, to update NSwiki?

Not yet done the pts difference for the recent world cup but:

Top 10 rankings are Kelssek, Candelaria And Marquez, Sorthern Northland, Taeshan, Quintessence of Dust, Lovisa, Somewhereistonia, West Zirconia, Oreington Canada, Peisandros.

Hope this is enough until I do the whole rankings properly.

The Rankings box only takes the top ten(or the top ten ranked teamsand tied teams)

[Somewhereistonia]

I believe it also shows the ranking points. That is also why I gave the top 10.

[Sorthern Northland]

It does indeed also show points as well.

Might also put the Rugby World Cup article as a featured article candidate, got to say that the work that Gruenberg/QoD is pretty motherflubbing good imo. Thoughts?

Annoyingly, I seem to have completely buggered up the note/references: it didn't originally look like that. Might be worth either stripping them all - it's not really necessary to cite NSwiki articles - out, or seeing if there's an obvious way to un-bugger them.

Also if anyone has usable pictures.

This guy has way to much time.

Gosh Taeshan, I'm sorry for actually trying to contribute something to the community instead of posting illiterate drivel like I've got a bad case of premature ejaculation. Clearly, everyone should be dragged down to your level.

priezs 4 all1!
