The nation of Schottia extents a warm welcome to the Sports Regionally homeless, and apologises in advance for the rain. If you are one of the 28 lucky participants listed below, you may start posting your rosters and pre-MD1 RPs... now! Any OOC discussion can be continued here.
Format
Matches will be scored using xkoranate 0.3.3, the SQIS formula, and additive style modifiers. In keeping with the first Independent Associations Cup, WCC ranks will be used, but will be scaled down to allow for lower ranked nations, who RP consistently, to have a decent chance. With this in mind, RP grading will be generous, emphasising quality over quantity, with additional points awarded for the posting of a roster. Note; WCC nations will not receive their KPB bonus until they have posted a roster.
This 28-team tournament will consist of an initial 4 team round robin phase, with the top two in each group progressing to the round of sixteen, along with the two best third place finishers.
