The World Bowl Discussion Thread (OOC, version II)

[World Bowl]

With deepest apologies for lateness (turns out selling your childhood home is a bit more of a project than expected)...

Sign ups for World Bowl XXXV are now open.

[Kaboomlandia]

back in to inevitably go 8-2 and lose in the first round

[Union of Socialist Alpine Republics]

From the sign up thread:

In! -
I promise to submit a national team roster then promptly not rp due to rl
In all seriousness, I'll put some form of rp forward - I need to be mid-table at best in the groups O>O
Also, inheriting rank of Kebec/Kep.

I'd like to know how ICly Razenthuria became the continuation of Kebec? Did a revolution happen?

For example, I merged all my nations but one into a bigger one. All my cities, team names and players remained the same. So Prusy Krolewskie or Southern Democratic States' rank got transferred to the U.S.A.R.

Another example is Gregoryisgodistan who had a revolution and Lord Almighty Gregory was overturned, gregoryisgodistanis renamed their country, took real names and renamed their locations but it's the same nation on the map. Because of this, South Covello can claim Gregoryisgodistan's rank.

A third example is Saintland who separated in West and East Saintland so I think West Saintland claimed Saintland's rank.

Razenthuria inherits the rank of Kebec

What's the IC tie-in between them? Can a past RP be referenced to show how this is a successor nation?

Hallo -
My World Cup 79 qualification rps referenced this:

Implosion

[World Bowl]

The cliffnotes, please, Razenthuria.

[Qusmo]

From a cursory reading, it seems to me that there was some kind of religious civil war/revolution between those of the Norse faith, who had ruled Kebec, & Christians, who established Razenthuria as a competing government; the Christian Razens defeated the Norse Kebecois to rule over all of Kebec/Razenthuria, it seems. (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here, or if there are any important details that I'm missing.)

[Razenthuria]

The cliffnotes, please, Razenthuria.

In essence Razenthuria is Kebec but the white minority Norse govt. was overthrown

Well it sounds good to me, I'm sorry for having missed this RP about Kebec's implosion.

[Razenthuria]

Hi! -
Is there a intl. domestic gridiron thread or a said club championship for said event? I was wondering as obviously, that'll better expose my league to the rest of y'all and such.

[World Bowl]

Cool. I see no problem with it, then, Razenthuria.

On a separate note: I have thus far received a grand total of two votes on the host bids for World Bowl XXXV. Committee Members, please note that you have a little over two days to submit your votes, so please, get on that when you have a chance. Thanks.

I am assuming that potential hosts cannot vote, although I couldn't actually find anything in the constitution to say we can't.

Potential hosts are allowed to vote, yes.

[World Bowl]

The results of the host vote have been posted in the sign-up thread. Congratulations to our host, and best of luck on a smooth tournament.

[Newmanistan]

The Everything thread is up. Let's play!

[Jebslund]

So, we nation-hopping like in NSSCRA?

I am not entirely sure of what you mean.
Each nation plays the others twice, once at home, and once away.

[Free Republics]

I believe this is a mistake (emphasis added):

Group 3
Azadeshia 10–14 Pridnestrovia
Taeshan 25–3 Roglonia
Ashkam 3–15 Barunia

Group 5
Barunia 30–0 The Wolf Zones
Equestrian States 6–19 Free Republics
Alenburg 0–13 Alpine Union

How the heck did I do that? Since it's early, I am going to have re-scorinate. Sorry. Thanks for catching it.

Fixed. Annoyed at myself for that error, but all is good now.

[Starblaydia]

I appreciate it was unranked vs unranked but should I just retire now and keep a 100% win record (and a good win, at that) forever?

Keep it up. The opponent was just in shock to see "Starblaydia" on a jersey for this version of football, and never had a chance.

I hope that continues against Abanhfleft, as this will be the third sport we'll play them at in quick succession (Football at WC80, Quidditch at QWC8 and now Sarzoball).

Damn, Star, I just realized you're right. Oh, well. I'll never have a chance in hell against you in football, and I've already gone further than I can in Quidditch, so I don't really know how to feel about playing against you in the World Bowl anymore....

[Razenthuria]

Welp -
Well I put that roster up just in time. Escape and I beat top-15 in the world in the process.
Greg its been a pleasure.

I'm not sure if this has been answered before, if it has I apologize but how exactly will we have a round of 16 with 7 groups. If the top 2 of each group make it then it'll be 14 teams. Will their be like a wildcard sudden death match or will you just the 2 top 3 teams of a group with the best results?

The top two teams per group make the playoffs. Then the next best two teams get two wild card spots.
