So essentially, going CTE is like vacating all of your wins, without it changing the actual standings?

It does change the standings, as they no longer exists.

[Kinzar]

I didn't notice Firminiaz because I focused in on Euskirrbokandara and saw how we lost the tiebreaker to them. I'm actually glad this is the case because we wouldn't be in regardless now. Euski can fight the fight if they want. Sorry if I've sounded like a jerk and good luck with the rest of the tournament.

It does change the standings, as they no longer exists. If this will settle it once and for all i'll do a special round of eighteen, winners advance to Ro16.

As a note, it does change the standings, but will not change the rankings when I post them after the BoI.

No, no it's fine. I just wanted to know if I was following the action/drama correctly

[Free South Califas]

Thanks for keeping a cool head about this and proving us right to give you the BoI, NWG. Mistakes happen, what matters is how you handle them. We have certainly seen a marked improvement in this area.

[Karditan]

If you missed it, the everything thread is up.

[New West Guiana]

Only one game left and congrats to Stretta and Grandtrre for making it into the finale.

[New West Guiana]

And with that the 13th BoI is over congrats to Sertta.

[German Zerabithea]

Congratz to Sertta for the win.

And congratz to NWG for a good job running the BoI.

Rankings Formula:
- Most recent World Bowl (WB19) is counted 100%; previous World Bowl (WB18) is counted 50%; World Bowl before that (WB17) is counted 25%
- Champions receive 15 points
- Playoff stage teams receive (Overall Win %) * 15 points
- Non-playoff teams receive (Overall Win %) * 10 points

The Baptism of Iron points are calculated using the same formula, but are worth 10% as much as the points for the World Bowl they preceded. BoIs 12 and 13 (pre-WB20 and pre-WB19) are counted. There was no Baptism of Iron prior to World Bowl 18.

Is IFAF Overtime the NCAA OT rule (start at opponent's 25, no clock, each team gets 1 possession per OT) or is it a full 5th quarter with the team that leads after that quarter winning the game?

[Ko-oren]

Woo! I'm not last!

Well, I've got some work in front of me

[Stretta]

Congratz to Sertta for the win.

And congratz to NWG for a good job running the BoI.

And with that the 13th BoI is over congrats to Sertta.

Cheers guys!

I'd like to second/third the thanks to New West Guiana for hosting a great BoI. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Now, bring on the World Bowl...

[Karditan]

First of all, congrats to Stretta for winning the BoI, a huge thanks to ES for tabulating the rankings, and thanks to NWG for hosting the BoI.

Is IFAF Overtime the NCAA OT rule (start at opponent's 25, no clock, each team gets 1 possession per OT) or is it a full 5th quarter with the team that leads after that quarter winning the game?

I'm pretty sure it's the former, if I remember the arguments back when M7 hosted correctly. Each team gets an equal chance to score, and there's no sudden death, so that sounds right.

Edit: Groups should be up sometime tonight.

[Darmen]

The IFAF rulebook can be found here: http://www.ifaf.org/pdf/flag/ifaf_rules_2011.pdf
See Rule 3, Section 1, Article 3 for the overtime rules.

[Saintland]

The IFAF rulebook can be found here: http://www.ifaf.org/pdf/flag/ifaf_rules_2011.pdf
See Rule 3, Section 1, Article 3 for the overtime rules.

Basically, its the same as the NCAA rules. I think the rules involving penalties during OT are slightly different in NCAA and IFAF, but other than that it seems the same.

[Karditan]

ES/NWG, I'm assuming the "Suramani" in the rankings is actually Subramani? It seems that typo went through the BoI and into the rankings.

[Equestrian States]

ES/NWG, I'm assuming the "Suramani" in the rankings is actually Subramani? It seems that typo went through the BoI and into the rankings.

Yep. I copy-pasted a few names that were less familiar to me, so I probably just missed that one. I'll go ahead and change that quick-like to avoid future confusion on that.

[New West Guiana]

ES/NWG, I'm assuming the "Suramani" in the rankings is actually Subramani? It seems that typo went through the BoI and into the rankings.

Yep it's been spelled wrong since the start of the boi.

[Equestrian States]

Group 1 looks like fun. The #2 in the world, the semifinalists from last time, and an actively RPing newbie...yay.

Group 7: I just don't know what went wrong

I see what you did there. Also, this.

[Michael VII]

when M7 hosted correctly.

So what you're saying is that I should host again? haha

[Karditan]

Oh, taking quotes out of context now, are we? Didn't know you were a politician

Hey, Karditan! Neighbor! >:D

[Free South Califas]

#2 in the group and Top 20 in the world, eh? Well, this shall be interesting.
