General Information

Sendhang or the Federation of Sendhang is a landlocked nation located in the Melayu Archipelago on the Melayu Mainland. It has a land border with Acastanha, Kayangan, Springmont, Havynwilde, Bachok, and Samudera Darussalam. Sendhang consists of a federal territory and 4 states namely Lemah Banyu, Alamsunda, Putrasia, and Nainhá.

Football in Sendhang is governed by the newly-formed Persatuan Sepakbola Seluruh Sendhang (PS3). PS3 was officially formed one and a half years ago. Before the formation of PS3, football in Sendhang was governed separately by each of the state FAs. There was no Sendhang national team before the formation of PS3.

The formation of PS3 also paved the way for a new national league, the Liga Super Sendhang (LSS) which kicked off its inaugural season last year. There was no national league before the introduction of LSS. Each of the state FAs organized their league separately before this.

As part of the PS3 roadmap which is named PS3:10 which aimed to put Sendhang as a regional powerhouse in 10 years, PS3 intends to host the 8th Melayu Archipelago Cup to promote football and further boost its development in the country.

Format and Scorination

The format depends on the final number of signups. The possible group stage formats are:
* 14 entrants, 2 Groups of 7. Top 2 of each Group advance to Semi Final
* 16 entrants, 4 Groups of 4. Top 2 of each Group advance to Quarter Final
* 18 entrants, 3 Groups of 6. Top 2 of each Group advance to Quarter Final alongside with 2 best third place.
* 20 entrants, 4 Groups of 5. Top 2 of each Group advance to Quarter Final

The tiebreaker system for the Group Stage is as follows;
* Total Points (3 for win, 1 for draw, and 0 for lose)
* Goal Differences
* Goal For
* Head-to-Head Wins
* Head-to-Head Goal Differences
* Head-to-Head Goal For

Scorination will be done using xkoranate (v0.3.3) with NSFS formula and Skill Range between -5 to +5. RP Bonus will be given accordingly with points ranging from 0 to 2 with 2 being the most creative RP.

Venue

PS3 has selected 5 stadiums from the federal city and all 4 states to host the 8th Melayu Archipelago. The stadiums are as follows;

Group A
i) Stadium Persekutuan, Kambang (cap. 40,000)
ii) Stadium Tapaklaboh, Tapaklaboh (cap. 30,000)
iii) Stadium Danokota, Danokota (cap. 28,000)
iv) Stadium Larantuka, Larantuka (cap. 30,000)
v) Stadium Kratonredjo, Kratonredjo (cap. 25,000)

Transportation

Since Sendhang is a landlocked country, the participants can get into Sendhang only via air from most major cities in the Melayu Archipelago or via land from one of the neighboring countries in the Melayu Mainland. The only international airport in the country is the Kambang International Airport in the Federal City of Kambang, the capital city of Sendhang which is located strategically in the middle of the country.

Inter-cities traveling can be done via air with Skyway.com, the main sponsor of the 8th Melayu Archipelago flying from and to the 2 airports servicing the host cities daily. This includes the Kambang International Airport servicing Kambang, Tapaklaboh, Larantuka, and Danokota and the Kratonredjo Airport, Kratonredjo servicing Kratonredjo.

For short-distance travel, the bus is the most convenient option. The inter-cities highway is not the best but it is maintained adequately to ensure a pleasant journey for its users. There is no railway system in the country.
