[Lisander]

As I stated before, I'm ending the sign-ups at 36. IC thread should be up later today.

Are Roleplay Declarations mandatory(I mean permissions here)? Is there a Common List to choose from?

Is a common courtesy, but not mandatory. I decided I'm not enforcing it, since I believe most of the RPers are not exactly unaware of how NS Sports RP works. Recently, there's even been an increase in the number of people replacing its "RP permissions" for something simpler like "no killing or permanently injuring".

Also, the idea of providing a generous RP bonus for those presenting the hockey on its nation also serve this purpose. A nation will have much more to talk about if its opponent can provide a solid background to its own team.

Is it alright to edit once after you have posted? I wanted to add Player Positions, Extra Players etc and also some Roleplay Permissions

(did the 1st edit to put in the policy bit)

I'll only do the grading before the first cut-off, so yes.

I do have a (late!) question about scorination. You say you'll use the "default" formula -- does that mean these games will be scored with extra time? IRL field hockey has moved away from extra time, instead going straight to penalties, which is the formula Electrum used in the Olympics. Not going to throw a fit if you're sticking with extra time but if you were open to ditching I for one would support that change. :)

I must admit I'm not aware of the most recent formula. So we're going with the default one.

Regarding Style Modifier is +1 (+offense) and -1 (+defense) etc?

[Schutzenphalia and West Ruhntuhnkuhnland]

Yes. + is more attacking (more goals scored and conceded), - more defensive (fewer scored and conceded).

[Wrengoh]

Yes. + is more attacking (more goals scored and conceded), - more defensive (fewer scored and conceded).

thanks for letting me know!

[Quebec and Shingoryeo]

So 4 hours have passed since the cutoff, and there are no scores. Hope all's well with Lisander.

[Wrengoh]

Is there a way to know which team you're playing for the second match?

Edit: like Schutzenphalia put it out they were playing Takeshwar next

All is well with Lisander. College stuff made me sleepy while I was grading RPs, but the MD2 is already up. I apologize for making all of you wait.

Look at your number in the group (it's 2) and check the table I added in the calendar. You will have a bye in MD3.

A Question: Is it alright to change Modifier or add Modifier at this stage of Play? or it is decided at the start of the event?

[Lisander]

A Question: Is it alright to change Modifier or add Modifier at this stage of Play? or it is decided at the start of the event?

Well, it's something that never happened to me as host before. But okay. I will limit this to one request per member. However, considering that a team's playing style is not something that changes just like that, overnight, I will make the modification as long as I consider that the reason for this has been explained coherently through Roleplaying.

Er no Lisander its perfectly alright, just inquiring since its my first game and am learning stuff lol, I was also thinking about whether at this stage to get my Women's Team involved somehow or have a mixed one but I think its makes more sense to have them participate from the start in a (possibly next one) tournament.

If you can explain it properly through RP (and as long as you don't violate RP permissions of the others), you can do as you wish. (Football) World Cup once had a roster that was simply an egg.

I'm pushing the Hockey World Cup MD6 cut-off to two hours from now, due to a dental emergency. Use this time wisely.
