International Ping Pong [Interest/OOC/Sign-Ups]

Postby Schiltzberg » Thu Dec 03, 2015 3:33 pm

Hello NS Sports folks! Welcome to the inaugural International Ping Pong (IPP) tournament! This tournament will the first of its kind, and I hope that you will help to make it a successful tournament by signing up below!

This tournament will be a singles ping pong/table tennis tournament, and will be scorinated using the table tennis scorination feature on the NationStates scorinator xkoranate. I am hoping to get sixteen nations to sign up, including myself, but I could work with as low as twelve teams, if needed. If there are sixteen teams, the teams will be randomly seeded into four groups of four, and will engage in six match days, with there being five matches played between the paired up opponents on each match day, for a total of 30 games played in the preliminary round. All teams will be unrated, as this is the inaugural version of this tournament.

The top two teams from each group will then be seeded into two different four team double-elimination rounds, with each round being a best-of-seven series. Then, the champions of each double-elimination bracket will play each other in a best-of-21 series, which will take place over the course of three days, if necessary.

All individual matches will be played best-of-21, which means that the first player to reach 11 points wins the match, though matches must be won by two points. For example, a match cannot end with a score of 11-10, and in that case, the match will go into extra rounds until one player wins by two points. These are standard rules for ping pong.

Let the games begin! Please sign up by replying to this post and saying that you would like to sign up. Please include your nation name and the name of the player that will be representing your nation in the tournament. You may only have one player in the tournament per nation, and no puppet nations either, please. I will be signing up, with the name of my player being Xavier Delton. Once we reach 16 sign-ups, I will announce the schedule for the tournament. Keep ponging!

Signed up:
1. Schiltzberg (Xavier Delton)
2. Ethane (Jake Huntington)
3. Kaboomlandia (Greg Albert)
4. Anollasia (Jacques Albert)
5. Costa de Ouro (Isabela Lobo)
6. Drawkland (Loren McHarris)
7. United States of Devonta (Peteboy Wright)

Thank you all for signing up so quickly! The sign-ups sheet has been updated. Interestingly, I almost named my player Xavier Albert, but then decided to change it. If I had left it, pretty much everybody would have had the same name!

Let's just say it's a coincidence. It's like having Paul McCartney and Jesse McCartney. Both are musicians, but not related.

Mitoland are entering 32-year-old Johan Dìmėk, the national ping-pong champion from the years 2004-2008.

I'm a Libertarian Socialist. That's good.

News of Mitoland this week:
- The government scraps tuition fees for public universities.
- Planned Christmas Day terror attacks on the Marktplatz in Rheine are discovered and foiled. Eight arrests have been made in connection.

Apart from capital punishment, this nation represents 95% of my views. Some NSStats are slightly wrong.
