Its finally that time of year, as we settle into March, the snow falls over the lands, the basketball season wraps up and the hockey arenas light up. The Zamboni machines blast their engines, laying down new ice onto the arena floor. The cracked Plexiglass, there since day one once again is tasked with absorbing the fans. The smell of beer and drinks fill the air, a championship banner rises into the rafters. The announcer clears his throat, the lights shone down on you... You grab your gloves, your stick, you skate out to center ice, its that time of year.
Woop, woop! Welcome to the first ever edition of NationStates College and Youth Hockey, here, you will be able to post your team's rosters and do all of their in-character role-plays. OOC comments, questions and concerns should be kept to the OOC thread.

THe first season of NSCYH features 12 teams from eleven nations. We highly encourage all players to actively roleplay their teams, no matter how [in]experienced they happen to be. Each of the conferences have six teams apiece, teams will play each other for a total of 24 in-conference games. After all twenty-four conference games, a Conference champion shall be crowned. Games will be scorinated three times a week on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday. There will be four games per scorination session, for example, Team A will have played four games by the end of Sunday. Score cutoffs will be decided by each conference host.
Following all twenty-four conference games, there will be twelve non-conference or inter-conference games. These games will have no affect on the conference championships, however, they shall affect the postseason qualifiers, [ i.e., Team A wins Star Conference, however, loses all non-conference games, drops to fifth place and out of playoffs, still retains Conference Championship ].
The postseason format is as followed: Each conference shall have their separate postseason playoff to see who will qualify for the NSCYH Championship Series. The individual conference postseason games shall be best-of-3 series. The winners of each conference's playoffs shall square off in a best-of-7 held on neutral territory.[/align]
