Dancougar signs up and bids to host, because I started this nonsense.

Scorination will be done with Basketsim (available for download in my signature), which differs from most scorinators in that it simulates individual possessions. Well, okay, so NSFS kind of works that way, too, just not at the same scale. This means results can vary wildly, as shooting accuracy is a function of team strength, but in the past it has been pretty reasonable. The world rankings I've calculated will serve as the basis for a team's strength, to be supplemented by RP bonus.

The format of the tournament will be:
* Double round-robin group stage for qualifiers. I prefer group sizes of five or six teams to keep the number of matches to a minimum, but will extend this if necessary.
* The final tournament will consist of a single round-robin group stage followed by knockout stage. The playoff bracket will feature best-of-3 series. The number of qualifying teams is generally not more than half of the field, although this depends on the number of enxtrants.
* A "Cup of Harmony" tournament for non-qualifiers, consisting of round-robin group play and a small bracket if needed.

And now, the reason why you bother posting after every game:
* Each daily RP earns up to 3 points for quality, with "daily RP" taken to mean "all posts between your last game and the next one."
* RP degrades by 57.5% every matchday. Why such a weird number? This sets an upper bound for accumulated RP at 7.06, which means that team strength will be on a scale from 0 to 14, the sum of max world rank (Newmanistan's 6.94) and max RP.
* Days off do not count against you. For example, your cumulative RP bonus does not degrade on your bye day.
* Playing at home gives a 10% strength boost.
* First timers start at 0 world ranking points. Note, though, that RP alone can put you at roughly half the maximum possible strength, which can be substantial. Plus, random luck might help you win anyway.
* Dancougar is free to post but is capped at 0.5 RP points per day.

All arrogant, stuck-up, conceded or whatever comments I make in roleplay are always in-character and should not be interpreted as also being the out-of-character attitude of the person controlling the nation. My nation is my attempt to mock people I have to deal with often at work.

95% of people on NationStates won’t read this, but as we speak, Libyan people are being massacred, because they’re rebelling against an unfair government. The elderly, women, children, everyone in Libya is in danger tonight. It’s genocide. Repost this in your sig to raise awareness and support the revolution!
