Following an auspicious return of the Mike Sarzo Memorial Trophy as hosted by Sarzonia, the Incorporated Football Federation now proposes a new competition for players over 35 years old*.

This competition will initially be hosted by and played within the confines of Sarzonia and Sarzonian held territory and is available to any team that chooses to send a team to the competition.

For RP purposes, five substitutes plus a goalkeeper substitution will be allowed instead of three plus a keeper. Also, the Vilitan mobile scorinator will be used for this tournament. There may be the potential for a ranking system that would be used if there is enough interest.

The format will depend on the number of signups, but the idea is to have a double round robin to create additional RP opportunities. Since this specific competition is new, RP will play a huge role in the competition.

Tiebreakers will go as follows:

1. H2H points
2. H2H goal differential
3. Overall goal differential
4. Total goals scored for
5. IC: coin flip (OOC: RP bonus)

*35 is the age being used for this tournament, as it will be modeled after the RL World Cup of Masters in terms of age requirements. NS being what it is, I'll allow teams to use an age that is equivalent in how they mark time.

2. Northwest Kalactin

Signups updated through Darmen.

OP updated with tiebreakers

I'm down to join

I'm joining,

Libonesia Will be in for its Debut.

I'm in

The APOC Coalition will assemble and send forth a team of over-35 players. Maybe the first generation of APOC-based players to play in NS will give me some more success than the more recent batches this time.

Ziwana is in

The Fortem would like to join.

I'll join

New Waldensia will send some old decrepit arthritics Masters.

Signups updated through New Waldensia. We're currently at 14.

My initial goal was 16, but I'm willing to go above that with a number that works logistically.

Hm, doddery geezers and fallen old wannabe legends? Sounds interesting enough. Kriegiersien is In.

Our oldies are in!

Correction: I'm Indusse. Not Infuse

Signups updated through Lochario.

Indusse's name corrected in the OP.

We'll see if anyone else wants in, but I'm fully prepared to go with 16 teams otherwise.

Sexy. Dadbods time.

Signing up as a possible numbers puppet. Will withdraw if we get to a workable number without it.

Puppet of Sarzonia.

Confirming Sarzoclava's puppet status above.

In but honestly idk if I'll have time to RP.

Updated through Terre Septentrionale.

We're at 19. If we get one more sign up, we can go with 20. If we get two more, I'll withdraw Sarzoclava so we stay at 20.
