[The Babbage Islands]

After a poor start with the Iron Tide in the Silver Bowl (and a failed run in WB VII), the re-named Fanboyist Barons will look to make sure some good football comes out of this place.

Back in. Although, TBI, I'd like to ask about the qualifying round; wouldn't an even number of games (say, four, generally more than three) work better for weeding out teams, or is time a major issue here? If it is, forget I said anything.

I don't want to start a big discussion here, if it evolves that way it needs to go to the discussion thread. Let's just say I'm thinking outside of the box, in large part because I firmly believe that shorter events work better overall. Even vs odd doesn't matter so much if all games are on neutral ground as they are in the proposal. Otherwise, even is strongly preferred as it allows for home-and-home or at least 50/50 splits.

[Krytenia]

Ehh...why not? We're in.

[Sarzonia]

Ehh...why not? We're in.

At least you can't lose on penalty kicks in gridball.

[Taeshan]

Ehh...why not? We're in.

At least you can't lose on penalty kicks in gridball.

Ah, but you can lose by stupid professional overtime rules.

[Sibirsky]

What are the overtime rules for the World Bowl? Sudden death, one quarter?

[A White Hawk]

[Dancougar]

What are the overtime rules for the World Bowl? Sudden death, one quarter?

In NSFS 2.0.7.2, it's implemented as NFL rules sudden death.

Signups are updated through A White Hawk. That's 29 total, 12 debutants, and one host bid. (People should double check and make sure I've got the debutants list correct.)

[Barnettsville]

Why not...Barnettsville enters World Bowl VII and Baptism of Iron.

[Arroza]

The Admirals will try to fight this crushing sense of ennui and win dang it.

[*Winning not guaranteed, and probably guaranteed to fail. Do not store in temperatures below 70F, Does not work in the presence of Black Wings. Your mileage may vary.]

Then... post one.

Signups updated through Qazox, which puts us at 35 with 13 newcomers. Signups remain wide open and will remain so at least until the host bid deadline ten days from now. Also, since we have a sizable crop of newcomers, Baptism of Iron bids should also go up for consideration.

[Profero]

Since we are likely to go over 40 teams, and are even more likely to have a Baptism of Iron to complicate scheduling, I will be posting amendments to my bid later today to cover 44-48-52-56 teams and set a new schedule.

EDIT: The amended bid has been posted.

[Replica Union]

I would like to join
