The Golden Shield of Football
Application Thread
Welcome to the Golden Shield of Football's Application Thread!
What is the Golden Shield of Football?
The Tamriel Golden Shield was invented as a contest to promote peace and goodwill between the always-warring nations within the former Practical United Region of Tamriel. The first six men's Golden Shields and four Women's Golden Shields were held under the oversight of the Tamrielese Sport Control Board, which oversaw all of the sports each nation participated in, including football (soccer), gridiron football, lacrosse, and 7ball (a sport from Sonnel, played by Fleuronordicia). After the region's dissolution, the Tamrielese Sport Control Board decided only to continue to regulate this specific event, and changed its name to the Golden Shield Committee. The competition changed its name to the Golden Shield of Football and adopted its current logo in its sixth running.
Which type of football is played in this competition?
Both the Men's and Women's Golden Shields are played using the American football code, with IFAF overtime following a game ending with a tie score at regulation.
How do I apply to join?
We'll get to that in just a minute.
How many teams may I enter into the competition?
The Golden Shield Committee is looking to gradually expand into a two-conference format, with an equal number of teams per conference, for both sexes.
- For the (Men's) Golden Shield: Each nation may submit up to two (2) teams. One team must be designated for Conference A, the other for Conference B. Both conferences are equal in strength. N.B.: If conferences are not designated
- For the Women's Golden Shield: Each nation may submit up to two (2) teams. The two-conference format will not currently apply to the Women's Golden Shield, until an announcement is made in the Everything Thread.
No. You may post a roster in the Everything Thread as soon as your team is confirmed in this thread.
How many new teams may be accepted into the competition between cycles?
Up to four (4) men's teams and four (4) women's teams may be accepted in total.
Is this competition linked to a competition in the International Domestic (Gridiron) Football Newswires?
No. The Golden Shield is an independent entity. Teams winning this competition may not be entered into a domestic champions' league.
