IBC30 [rosters/RPs/results]
Posted: Fri Oct 23, 2020 3:54 am
Welcome to the White Winter Queendom of Græntfjall for the 30th edition of the International Basketball Championship. For IC purposes, this tournament will be known as “IBC30”, because Græntfjall does not have any tradition of Roman numbering. 48 teams will be vying for the title, beginning with a double round-robin group stage before heading to a single elimination bracket. This thread is reserved for roleplays and rosters relating to the tournament; please place any OOC comments or questions in the signup thread. If you wish to speak to me directly please contact me via TG or on Discord.
If you are new to NS Sports roleplaying, take a look at the guide to how things work around here, or glance at the previous edition of this particular competition. In IC terms this tournament is considered to be played using international rules, and uses a scorinator based on that. Here is a summary of the differences between FIBA, NBA, and NCAA rules.
You are encouraged to post a roster listing your team including players, any relevant details, and permissions. The four semi finalists from IBC29 provide differing examples of how to compose a roster and what kind of details to include. In strictly IC terms, a roster size of 12 players would be expected. Style modifiers are not being used.

A group draw was conducted at the headquarters of Körfuknattleikssamband Græntfjalls in Háttmark. The draw involved sorting teams into ranked pots and spamming the RNG button. Once seeded groups were produced, they were then randomized again to produce random schedules.

Pot 2: Qasden, Sarzonia, Valladares, Northwest Kalactin, Lochario, Delaclava, Pemecutan*, TJUN-ia*
* Pemecutan and TJUN-ia were randomly drawn into Pot 2 from the five teams whose ranks were equal 15th seeded; the remaining three teams are the first teams in Pot 3
Pot 3: HUElavia, Kriegiersien, Trolleborg, Ethane, Juvencus, Terre Septrentionale, ZSeparatists, Southwest Eastnorth†

Entry is completely optional; if you don’t want your players to take part, you can have them put their feet/hooves/tentacles up and enjoy their rest day in peace, or if they’ve been eliminated book an early flight home.

Rules:
- There are three skills contests (Three Point Shooting, Skills, and Slam Dunk).
- Each nation entering IBC30 may submit 1-2 players to each contest. The first player will be guaranteed entry, the second will be a reserve to be used depending on overall numbers.
- Each nation can enter all three contests; however, no individual player from each nation can enter more than contest.
- The events will be scorinated with modified xkoranate sport files to generate appropriate results. Results will factor team rankings, RP bonus, and randomness.
