Format
The preferred format for Qualification will be 10 or 15 uniform sized groups from which the top 3 or 2 nations would respectively qualify for the Finals. If the number of sign ups do not allow for one of these formats, other options may be explored that may include uneven groups or playoffs.
Post-BoF KPB ranks will be used during the qualifying stage and (if necessary) playoffs, while post-qualifying KPB ranks will be used during the final tournament.
Tiebreakers if teams finish level on points will be: 1) Goal Difference 2) H2H (Pts, GD, GF) 3) Goals For 4) Wins 5) Playoff 6) Drawing of lots. These tiebreakers will be applied recursively. If a relevant tie between two teams cannot be resolved, then a single playoff match at a neutral site will be used to determine who advances. If a tie between three or more teams cannot be resolved, or if a two-way tie is irrelevant to determining which teams advance, then it will be resolved by drawing of lots.
Roleplay
We believe that role-playing is inspired by success and as a result will be allowing a maximum of 2 KPBs to be earned per match day in order to facilitate the possibility for more success and thus more roleplaying. Roleplays will be judged on a five tier scale. Roleplay ranks will be reset after Qualifying for all nations for the Finals as post-Qualifying KPB ranks will being used.
Scorination
If we were to win the hosting bid, we will be using NSFS 3 as the scorinator. With the fixing of the style modifiers implementation from the previous version, a full range of -5 through +5 will be accepted for nations to use. Scorination will take place between 2200-0200 UTC unless otherwise stated in the Discussion Thread.
Friendlies
Each user will be allowed to organize an unlimited number of friendlies during each of the three friendly slots (Pre-Qualifying, Mid-Qualifying, and Post-Qualifying). Each nation will be entitled to request, in a separate thread similar to that used since World Cup 50, that the hosts scorinate up to three friendlies on each of these days. No restriction is made on additional friendlies or friendly tournaments scorinated in that thread by third parties.
