Welcome to the 5th Commonwealth Cup, hosted in Delaclava! This is the smallest sporting event that Delaclava has hosted to date, but that doesn't mean it'll be the least exciting; if anything, our great country will be able to put in all the resources it needs to make this a smooth, well-run, fun tournament!
The 12 nations participating:
Aergad Isles
Meguroko
Pretty Awesome Persons
Stuffed Taxidermists
Eurentus
Mangolana
Spitfyred1
Telibi
Hossaim
Albundania
Loonaterian
Western cuba
We also have one waiting list team: Erathore. If a signed-up team drops out or CTE's, or if another nation wants to sign up, they will be allowed in. (If you are still interested, TG me now before it's too late!)
There will be two groups of six, with each team playing each other once. At the end of the group stage, the second-placed team from Group A will face the third-placed team from Group B, and the second-placed team from Group B will face the third-placed team from Group A. The two winners will move on to face the group winners in the semifinals. Losers play off for third place, winners play the championship.
Points will be first, followed by goal differential, H2H result, and H2H goal differential. Note that neither wins nor goals scored is being employed as a tiebreaker.
After the group stage, most two semifinals will be played, followed by a third-place playoff and a championship game. However, if numbers are sufficient, there might be a quarterfinal as well. Another possible idea is taking the top few from each group and doing a second group stage, with the top two then playing the final.
Vephrall's NSFS3 will be used to scorinate, each night at 9-10 PM EST.
RPs will be graded based on respect for opponents' RP permissions and RP (if the opposing team has already RPed), grammar and spelling (won't be ridiculous and nit-picky here, just as long as I can make sense of it, not likely that anyone will get docked here), quality and effort. It wouldn't really be fair to define further what quality means, as people RP differently.
Here's how venues will work: the list is right below. You may pick which of the venues your match was in. Keep in mind a few things, however: 1) If your opponent RPs a stadium, you must use that same stadium in your RP; 2) If a team RPs with a stadium, you cannot use that stadium for your match on that matchday; 3) You may RP where your very next match will be, but none after that. It won't be allowed to book your whole schedule.
