NS Arena Bowl VI - Signups

[Lisander]

Yesterday was madness. But with the end of World Bowl, it's time to get the Arena Bowl in action!

Provided United Civil Republic wasn't able to present a self-written Host Bid in time for the deadline, I hereby declare Abanhfleft as the host of NS Arena Bowl VI.

From now on, it's up to Abanhfleft to end the sign-ups and start the tournament.

[Saintland]

I believe we have 18 signups at the moment so this puppet of Free Republics is an option if the host wishes to go with 20.

Confirming the above. Feel free to include Saintland or leave it out as you wish.

[Abanhfleft]

Okay, I see we're at 19 signups. I can work with a 20-team tournament so as soon as that 20th team signs up we're going ahead. Main nations are preferred to puppets with a hard deadline of 12 noon August 1 UTC+8. If no other signups are received I will throw in my own numbers puppets so we can proceed.

Will that deadline be bypassed if we reach 20 or will we continue until August 1?

Sorry. Missed that. Thank you.

I hereby pull my puppet from contest in favor to allow Bolgano no dispute.

You know that to register a nation you must present the message with the incoming nation, not with the main one

Main nations are preferred to puppets.

I did. Please see the message quoted by my main.

[United Civil Republic]

Main nations are preferred to puppets.

To not accept a third puppet at this point would be interesting, but of course it is your choice.

On second thought you should have the last quota

We will let them decide, they are debating whether to allow either of our puppets at this time.

[Abanhfleft]

We know that you're all excited to play but all we're trying to say is give others a chance. That's all.

At the moment NEITHER UCR nor Bolgano's puppets is accepted. Lets wait for the deadline before doing anything else.

Thank you for your prompt resolution. We understand you position.

Fleft, what is the tournament format for 20 teams?

[Abanhfleft]

Fleft, what is the tournament format for 20 teams?

4 groups of 5 teams, top two of each group advance. Still undecided on whether to go for single or double round robin.

[Saint Kanye]

What are your tiebreaker formats then?

And will there be no Yeezie-hating terrorists anymore?

Still the same as in my bid. And the Yeezie haters have all melted back into the shadows. They all believe they have bigger fish to fry now.

[Abanhfleft]

Apologies for the delay. RL issues being sorted out. Since no other nation has signed up by the deadline, I will now accept one of the two puppet signups posted here earlier. United Civil States, UCR's puppet, by virtue of signing up first, is accepted into the Arena Bowl. Apologies to Vigo II and Bolgano but unfortunately Vigo II will have to be cut.

Signups for the Arena Bowl are now CLOSED. Expect the Everything Thread to pop up within 24 to 48 hours, unless RL overtakes me again and I lose Internet access for a short while.
