Sponsored by gridiron kit maker Smash Mouth Unis "If you look good, you'll play good!"McKleigh is happy to announce that we will once again be organizing an American tackle football(gridiron) tournament. This event is slower paced and less RP intensive than many other NS sport events. This event is open to any nation and puppets are welcome with no requirement to disclose if they are a puppet. Tournament will begin on Tuesday, the 15th of April 2014!
REGISTRATION:All you need to do to register is to declare you are registering on this thread, and your nation's style which can be between +5 for max offense and -5 for max defense. Registration expires at the end of every tournament. However, once you register you will be included and your spot reserved in the sext annual(every other month) tournaments unless your nation ceases to exist, you request to no longer be included, or you have not renewed your registration and your spot is needed for a new nation. You will be alerted via TG before removal and given an opportunity to re-register.
BONUS POINTS: Role play is welcome and encouraged but not required, a small bonus will be given for RP. RP bonus will be from 1-7 points added to a nation's max offensive and defensive potentials and will be awarded based on a nations RP quality and quantity for the entire event as compared to the average of the participants as a whole. RP bonus will be adjusted before each gameday. A 10 point bonus is distributed between a nation's offensive or defensive potential based on stated style at registration. For every game played in this event a fractional participation bonus is awarded to both offensive and defensive potentials. Wins recieve a slightly larger participation bonus than do losses, and this bonus carries from event to event and thus can grow over the course of several tournaments.
