World Bowl 36/XXXVI @ Ko-oren

Welcome to Ko-oren, a lovely group of islands in northwestern Atlantian Oceania. We are honoured to host the World Bowl, to crown the champion in a sport we call gridiron. Thank you for your confidence in us, and we hope we can all make this into the tournament of a lifetime!

The Group Stage will consist of seven groups of six nations each, which means there will be 10 matchdays (as you will play your group mates twice). Every single game will take place in Ko-oren.

Rosters and RPs
The thread is ready for you to post your rosters, which will give you a bonus for when the results are calculated. Every day, there is an additional RP bonus to be earned, so participation (and quality RPs) will be rewarded (that said, randomness is always a large factor in NS Sports, so participation and good RPs contribute to a higher likelihood of good results, but they won't guarantee good results). To get an idea as to what a roster might look like, you can scroll through the posts in the thread for the 35th World Bowl here. You can give out a list of starting players, or all starters and those on the bench, or even add the entire staff as well. It's up to you!

Do not forget to include the RP permissions, which tells your opponents what is permitted in games against you.

Code: Select all: [u]RP Permissions[/u] [b]Choose my scorers:[/b] [b]Godmod scoring events:[/b] [b]RP injuries to my players:[/b] [b]Godmod Injuries to my players:[/b] [b]Suspend my players:[/b] [b]Godmod suspension events[/b]: [b]Godmod other events:[/b]

Lastly, pick a Style modifier between -5 and +5. Higher style modifiers will place a larger focus on offence, which means higher scores scored and conceded. Lower style modifiers will place a larger focus on defence, which means lower scores for you and your opponents. The point differential will never change based on style modifiers. A high style modifier turns a base 21-14 victory into a 38-31 shootout, while a low style modifier turns the same base 21-14 win into a defensive, closely contested 10-3, for instance.

Schemerdrecht & Sterrenwolde

Schemerdrecht and Sterrenwolde are located on the north shore of the Bay of Ko-oren, around which the centre of the Ko-orenite state was established. Even though the cities are counted as 'northern' (and thus dark, cold, and occasionally miserable), they actually lie south of Aminey, which is seen as a 'southern' city (and thus happy, warm, and bright). Schemerdrecht has been the centre of Ko-orenite commerce for a very, very long time and its harbour is still of strategic importance. Sterrenwolde is a smaller city renowned for its harbour, as well as its gardens and schools. While the cities are not very different culturally, it is often said that the work is done in Schemerdrecht while people are just looking at work being done in Sterrenwolde. Nowadays, the cities are even more similar: great universities, parks, gardens, city life, and sports are available in both.

Aevanna

Aevanna is the largest city on the islands of Aerellen, in Ko-oren's far northeast. While most of the country's climate is friendly and hospitable, Aerellen is a frigid place, with the possibility of year-round near-freezing temperatures. The city's centre is located in a somewhat sheltered area, but the sprawl dictates that some suburbs lie in the less sheltered areas beyond. The people are experts at surviving these conditions, needing something to do in the long winter nights, and have taken to music, ice hockey, arts, and so on. Despite the temperature, the weather is quite stable and the national space agency is not far away from here either.

Eaglebury

Eaglebury is the capital of West Strand Riding, probably Ko-oren's oddest subdivision. The subdivision is one long, thin strip of land between the northwestern mountain range and the coast, where the cold and windy climate runs free. Eaglebury itself is remote, though accessible from the north, the south, and now even the east, across the mountains, from Idyllwild. Historically, it may not always have been easy to live in the city, but it sure is captivating, gorgeous, and liberating. Hikes are never far away, but don't forget that Eaglebury itself also has plenty to offer, from culture, to sports, to education.

Llandy & Mawrystwyth
Llandy and Mawrystwyth are located on the far southwestern peninsula of Ko-oren's mainland. Llandy is the shire's capital, while Mawrystwyth is the slightly larger and more touristic town. Even if you add the towns' populations together, they are still considered a small provincial town. Still, they are the largest settlement on Ko-oren's west coast. Many of the nation's most scenic places are within a few hours from Llandy and Mawrystwyth, and on top of that, visiting these towns is a treat during any season. While the population is largely multilingual, as with most Ko-orenites, the one hurdle is that the predominant language is a 'native' language, named Ko-Gaelic, showing features of languages such as Welsh and Irish.

Mayara-Gehrenna-Maethoru-Senoren
The four capital cities of Mayara, Gehrenna, Maethoru and Senoren have been at the centre of the Ko-orenite state and administration since the dawn of the nation. That is why there is so much there: we are looking at nearly four dozen centuries of settlements. Well hidden at the base of the Bay of Ko-oren, it is close to the Western Range, close to April river and the towns beyond it, but also close to Aminey and Willowbourne. Classical Ko-orenite, also known as Gehrennan, is still spoken here and the traditional long Ko-orenite names are still given to newborns as well. This area harbours the political centre of Ko-oren, and those from the province will have you know that it's the economical and cultural centre too - and more.

Willowbourne
Willowbourne is right in the middle of western Ko-oren. For centuries, the city was a small provincial town used to administrate all of southwestern Ko-oren, before that started developing. Now, Willowbourne is in the middle of the large plains in central Ko-oren with great connections to Greencaster, Aminey and the four capitals. The city's climate is a bit different from most of its surroundings, experiencing both cold winters and hot summers. In the last century, Willowbourne has developed into somewhat of a sporting capital, between the Hall of Fame, the Willowbowl, and having teams in four of Ko-oren's seven major sports.

Greencaster

Greencaster lies in in the centre of the southern gulf. Where most of Ko-oren has often looked inward, Greencaster looks outward, and its location reflects that. It's right on the one side of Ko-oren that looks out over the rest of Atlantian Oceania, and Greencaster is right there to welcome every and all visitors. Greencaster contains Ko-oren's largest port. The employment opportunites, the nearby breadbasket, and the temperate climate have made the city into Ko-oren's largest in the last 100 years. Before that, it was a small town, often ignored, on the outer periphery of Ko-oren. Greencaster is Ko-oren's version of a modern, planned city, containing many cultures and subcultures, and the closest you'll come to big city life within Ko-oren.

Aminey & Amillon

Aminey is one of Ko-oren's largest cities at a population of 1.136.254, its majority language is French, and falls just north of the cutoff line for a mediterranean vs a temperate climate. As a result, Aminey has a friendly climate, though rain may fall during any season. The city lies about 2/3rds of the way up the southern coast of the Bay of Ko-oren, close to all of Ko-oren's metropolises. Historically, Aminey was a contrarian city, close to, but shielded from the legalese and politics of the Mayara/Gehrenna group of capital cities. From here, Aminey developed into a rich city of free thinkers, artists, and the occasional rebel. Amillon lies just to the south, starting out as a far smaller town. As Aminey grew, Amillon flourished along with it.

History of New England and National Information:

In 1789, representatives of the American states met to draft a new constitution, but talks broke down due to irreconcilable differences on the issue of slavery, and the states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island declared themselves independent from the United States. They formed a new union called the Commonwealth of New England, which also included Vermont. In 1933, Newfoundland was peacefully annexed and became the 6th state of the Commonwealth.

New England was a bastion of freedom in a world plagued by slavery and despotism, and it was a formiddable naval power, but America's hostility and Europe's dependence on American grain exports put the Commonwealth in a precarious position politically and economically. This was exacerbated by the rise of fascism in the 20th century.

By the 1970s, New England was suffering severe food shortages due to trade embargoes and overpopulation, and many people emigrated to Canada or America.

This state of affairs continued until 1988, when a team of researchers at MIT made a discovery that would completely upend the balance of power: they discovered a way to travel between parallel worlds. In other worlds, they found technologies that were unheard of in their own timeline. New England became the world's only nuclear power in a world where the concept of nuclear fission had never been conceived. The great slaveholding powers laughed when New England demanded that they free their slaves or face annihilation. A week later, with Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Baltimore reduced to smoldering craters, the United States surrendered and countries across Europe emancipated their slaves to avoid war.

It did not take long for Yankee leaders to realize that their new technology opened up more possibilities than just the opportunity to steal nuclear warheads from other worlds. They began reaching out to their counterparts in other versions of New England, attempting to unite all the Yankee people as a single nation spanning multiple worlds. In worlds that were technologically backward, they shared their knowledge to improve the people's lives and encourage them to join the Commonwealth. In worlds that were more technologically advanced, they learned everything they could and brought the new technologies home to their own world for study.

But there was one technology they were careful never to share: the ability to open portals between worlds. That was a closely-guarded secret because they knew it would be disastrous if it fell into the hands of a rival power like the Americans or the Germans.

In worlds where New England was not inhabited by English-speaking white people, they left the locals to govern themselves. Although what it means to be a Yankee can vary greatly from one world to the next, they understood that French people and Indians were separate peoples with separate histories. Where the French and Indians were friendly, trade was established, but their land was not annexed and their people were not allowed citizenship. In worlds where New England was inhabited by English-speaking white people -- regardless of whether they called themselves Yankee, American, Canadian, or British, and regardless of whether they had minority populations of other ethnic groups living in their midst -- emissaries attempted to persuade the people to join the Transmondian Commonwealth.

They never attempted to annex anything outside the traditional borders of New England. In worlds where North America had no human population, they would plunder it for natural resources, with no regard for borders -- but where there were people, they wanted only the alternate versions of their own country. In worlds where New England was an independent country with different borders, or where it controlled colonies, they respected the local borders and they kept the colonies. In some worlds, they found themselves governing Namibia, Australia, or the moon. In worlds where New England belonged to the United States, Canada, or some European power, they attempted to persuade the people to secede from the local government and join the Commonwealth instead.

Within a few decades, the Commonwealth expanded across dozens of worlds and established trade with hundreds more. The population ballooned from 30 million to several billion, and technology advanced at a breakneck pace that was difficult to comprehend. The Home States became a hub for trade between worlds, and the infrastructure struggled to keep up with all the people coming and going, leading to atrocious traffic congestion and overcrowded cities.

The government became unwieldy as the nation grew far faster than the bureaucratic systems were designed to handle. Juggling diplomatic relations across hundreds of worlds was an overwhelming challenge. But even as people were reeling from all the rapid changes, most people were better off. Anyone that wanted to make a new life for themselves could go to one of the uninhabited worlds and help plunder them for natural resources.

The worlds are named according to what the first Yankee visitors found notable about them. For example, the Australian Countries are a world where New England colonized Australia. The Obama Countries are a world where Barack Obama was president of the United States when the first emissaries arrived. The Dark Countries had no electric power when they were first discovered.

Delivering mail, managing trademarks, and discussing geography can be a challenge, as many names are repeated across different worlds. There are hundreds of versions of Boston, Portland, Providence, etc. and each version of Boston may have a street called Beacon Street or Commonwealth Avenue. Sports teams, colleges, and companies often have the same names from one world to the next. To clear up confusion, the name of the world is specified: The Patriots of the Home States, the Red Sox of the English Countries, the University of Vermont in Rainbow Burlington, and so on. This also applies to the names of politicians, athletes, authors, or entertainers who may be famous in multiple worlds -- though people from the Home Countries do not use a world name. The president of the Commonwealth, who is from the Home Countries, is Darren Rollins. The governor of Newfoundland in the Neon Countries is Darren Rollins Neon.

Because most worlds have their own international sporting events, the Commonwealth often fields several "national" teams in the same sport. Some recruit only from their own world; others recruit from across multiple worlds. It's very common for talented athletes from less developed worlds where there are not many international competitions to travel to more developed worlds where they have better career opportunities. The football team which is representing New England in the World Bowl is recruited from a group of less developed worlds -- the Dark States, the Liberated Reich (a.k.a. Hitler States), the Wilderness, the Marxist States, the Noble States, the Rubble, the Coal States, the Slave States, the Roche States, the Rickshaw States, and the Puritan States -- with coaching staff, logistics, and equipment provided by sponsors from the Home States, the Carolingian States, the Black States, the Cricket States, and Acadie. The Commonwealth hopes that, in addition to being an opportunity to play some great football, this will also be a chance for players to broaden their horizons and experience a more modern way of life, not to mention bringing home some money for their families.

Social and cultural norms can vary greatly from one world to the next. Although New England is a beacon of freedom and equality in the Home Countries, it can still seem socially backward to people from more liberal timelines. There is a lot of variation within the Commonwealth as different versions of New England are annexed, and each one comes with its own internal politics and social norms. The Transmondian government has provided all players and staff with travel guides, advising them to be mindful of cultural differences and be especially careful of their language when discussing highly charged topics like religion, race relations, or gender roles. Some ideas that are perfectly normal in one world are extremely offensive in another, and some words have very different connotations from one world to the next. Players and staff have been advised to be mindful of their own language and to be patient with anything in Ko-oren that offends their sensibilities, but with people coming from a huge variety of backgrounds, particularly with people from extremely dogmatic societies like the Slave States and the Puritan States, misunderstandings can still arise.

Home Field: National Stadium, Roan-Ottonia Federal District (Capacity: 96,000) - The national municipal stadium, which plays host to all of the Federation's national teams across multiple sports, as well as Ottonia's AGL team. The stadium was first built in the 1950's, and has been refurbished, upgraded, expanded, and renovated twice since then. Still, it is, at bottom, an old-school stadium where the home team's accommodations are much nicer than the visiting ones, and fans will be comfortable, but probably not pampered. The stadium has a retractable roof, but the Regulars will usually play with it open, to take advantage of their comfort in the Allamunnic States' often-inclement weather.

General Information

Overview:

While many other nations field teams drawn from the cream of their domestic leagues, the Allamunnic States has, since World Bowl IX, fielded a permanent team, composed of dedicated players who train year round for the national squad. This approach has yielded six championships in seven finals berths (between World Bowl XVI and World Bowl XXVII) for the Regulars, and the team is (ahem) regularly considered one of the top national team programs in the world.

The team’s general approach has changed little over the nearly three decades that the Regulars’ system has been in place, first under head coach Stevan Vaalburger, then Ryan Smart, and now Baeryk Vaalburger. The Regulars win on depth, discipline, and excellent strength and conditioning training; other teams may be bigger and faster one-on-one, but few can match the Regulars for endurance, pound-for-pound strength, and team cohesion and discipline.

The Regulars have new looks on both offense and defense, both made in reaction to recruiting difficulties caused by competition for players with the domestic Allamunnic Gridiron League (AGL). Both systems are built to utilize the players the Regulars can recruit on a reliable basis, and to play to the team’s strengths (see above: depth, strength & endurance conditioning, team cohesion, and discipline). This has also resulted in mass departures of veteran players, leading to an inadvertent youth movement: very few players over the age of thirty remain.

Offensively, the Regulars have shifted even further into an extremely run-heavy power option attack, while on defense the team employs an unorthodox 4-2-5/4-3 system, built around the athletic prowess of safety/middle linebacker Claetus U’Daanyl and focused around an aggressive attack to pin rushers back and pressure passers while trusting a deep secondary to limit big plays. The results are that the Regulars count on dominating time of possession on offense, while disrupting more athletically-gifted units on defense with a simultaneously disciplined and aggressive charge.

Front Office & General Staff

Commissioner: Benjamin Jamesunn (Age: 73) - Following the brief, tumultuous, and, to a lesser extent, disastrous tenure of Gaarutt Kolvyn as Allamunnic Sporting Commissioner for the duration of World Bowl XXXI, long-time Allamunnic National Gridiron Team executive and administrator Benjamin Jamesunn was selected by the Board as the next Commissioner. Jamesunn has a strong grasp of the practices that have long enabled the National Gridiron Team to be successful, and has pledged a return to the patient approach that has yielded six championships since World Bowl XVI.

General Manager: Erik Warnur (Age: 56)
Director of Player Personnel: Anna Torrensunn (Age: 48)

Coaching Staff

Head Coach & Coordinators
Head Coach: Baeryk Vaalburger (Age: 60) - Despite speculation that he might retire, Baeryk Vaalburger returns for his fourteenth World Bowl as the Regulars’ head coach, making him the longest-tenured national team head coach. Vaalburger’s overall philosophy is an outgrowth of his father, Stevan Vaalburger’s, oriented towards player discipline, winning in the trenches, and winning via both power- and man-advantages at the point of attack.

Offensive Coordinator: Maarkus Daalhulm (Age: 52) - Long-time Regulars’ quarterback Maarkus Daalhulm takes over the offensive coordinator position with the departure of Rik Olafsunn. Daalhulm worked extensively with Vaalburger to get the offense back to basics, implementing a power-option-oriented attack aimed to maximize the Regulars’ personnel strengths and mask the deficiencies in speed and athleticism that recruiting crunches have brought on.

Defensive Coordinator: Theodur Laansur (Age: 51) - With Ryan Smart’s departure, former Regulars’ nosetackle “Titan” Theo Laansur takes over as defensive coordinator. Laansur worked extensively with Smart and Vaalburger in creating the Regulars’ somewhat unorthodox 4-3/4-2-5 hybrid defense. Laansur promises to continue the Regulars’ tradition of aggressive defense, dialing up frequent blitzes, stunts, and changing looks to disguise his next move.

Special Teams Coordinator: Phillipa Demirici (Age: 58) - Phillipa Demirici returns as special teams coordinator, although she is now also the senior-most assistant coach on the roster, meaning she has also taken over as assistant head coach. Demirici has a good feel for special teams and should keep the Regulars’ unit effective.

Quarterbacks Coach: Izaak Kleiner (Age: 44)

The Team

Offense

Overview:

The Regulars saw the departure of much of their top-level coaching staff, including offensive coordinator Rik Olafsunn, and, a decade after the Regulars’ most-recent championship, head coach Baeryk Vaalburger and new offensive coordinator Maarkus Daalhulm went to the drawing board to renew the team’s offensive identity.

The new offense is extremely run-heavy, although observers might note that the Regulars over the last several years were not passing much more than 15-20 times per game anyway. However, with athletic QB Rowan Daanyls, leaving the quarterback out of the running game no longer made sense. Moreover, with the Regulars’ difficulties in recruiting offensive personnel, a system was needed that could play to their advantages in team cohesion and practice time. A system based on discipline, conditioning, and strength training made more sense than one relying on the exploitation of athletic mismatches.

The team's new base formation is something of a throwback, dug out of the depths of Baeryk Vaalburger's coaching family's old stalwarts: the Vaalburger V-formation, featuring simplified nomenclature (the line players simply being designated End, Tackle, Guard, and Center) and two blocking backs (Halfbacks for their position, or Hammers to designate their function) and a single primary ball-carrier in the Fullback/Tailback. The formation is designed to provide maximum pass protection, maximum blocking on inside runs, and to give the team an effective bootleg/reverse game, as well as an effective short play-action system.

The Regulars' throwing will mostly come on play action or run-pass options, and the rest of the time they can be expected to run the ball, particularly between the tackles (or ends, if the team is lined up tight). The offense aims to play the game in close quarters, where they can play up their strength and numerical advantage at the point of attack while negating the athleticism of opposing defenses. It's not flashy, and it's not going to generate eye-popping stats, but it should allow the Regulars to generally dominate the time of possession, keep their defense rested, and enrage opposing defenses with their inexorable advance.

Starting Line-Up (V-Formation Personnel)
E#87 HOERST - - T#70 HAAGTYND - G#68 STAAGHYRT - C#55 UNGUR - G#65 KNUTSUNN - T#50 ASTYR - - E#81 JAANS
Q#11 DAANYLS
H#45 TORMUNDSUNN - - - - H#38 JORDSUNN
F#22 ERIKSUNN

Players By Position

Quarterbacks (Q):
#11 - Rowan Daanyls - Age: 26; H: 6'0"; W: 194lbs
#15 - Junn Moerr - Age: 29; H: 6'2"; W: 215lbs
#12 - Edwyrd Kaarlsunn - Age: 20; H: 6’1”; W: 220lbs

All three of the Regulars’ quarterbacks are mobile types: with the transition to a power-option offense, quarterbacks who can run the ball and absorb hits have become more crucial to the team’s success. Rowan Daanyls is the smallest, but is also the fastest and shiftiest of the three. She is a stronger passer, forcing defenses to respect the play-action and regular passing game more. Junn Moerr is a veteran back-up, who has slightly-better arm strength than Daanyls but with less-impressive accuracy, while being slower but sturdier. Ed Kaarlsunn is a young talent who is a sturdy and bruising rusher, with a good arm but with some work to do on his accuracy, particularly down-field.

Halfback (H):
#45 - Torren Tormundsunn - Age: 32; H: 6'3"; W: 246lbs - CAPTAIN
#38 - Grenn Jordsunn - Age: 25; H: 6’2”; W: 240lbs
#36 - Bryndyn Hendriks - Age: 20; H: 6’0”; W: 237lbs
#25 - Wyllum Ulryk - Age: 20; H: 5’11”; W: 234lbs

The Regulars’ “halfback” would be considered a fullback in standard nomenclature, a bruising, between-the-tackles rusher who is also called to block on more conventional runs. The Regulars in their base “V”-formation utilize two H’s. In the V, Grenn Jordsunn and Bryndyn Hendriks will see most of the snaps, as both are versatile players who can contribute as blockers, rushers, and pass-catchers. Veteran hammer Torren Tormundsunn has been battling injuries and seen his playing time drop, despite keeping the “starter” and team captain designations; his veteran leadership is still crucial and, especially in I-formations or the Wishbone, Tormundsunn will still get a lot of playing time. However, given the amount of rushing the H’s are called on to do, he will see less time in the V to reduce the beating he will take. Wyllum Ulryk is a rotating F in the same mold as Hendriks who will see rotational playing time, spelling either Jordsunn or Hendriks. However, his slightly smaller size and his recent conversion from tailback mean his blocking isn’t quite up to Regulars’ snuff, yet.

Fullback/Tailback (F):
#22 - Fredrik Eriksunn - Age: 20; H: 5’11”; W: 224lbs
#84 - Andya Haartly - Age: 26; H: 6’0”; W: 183lbs
#03 - Ryanna Mueller - Age: 22; H: 5’10”; W: 178lbs
#28 - Elisa Junnsunn - Age: 20; H: 5’9”; W: 180lbs

The team plays with one tailback/fullback (F) in the V, and two in the Wishbone. This player would be called a halfback in most other nomenclature systems. The F is the primary ball-carrier on designed runs and acts as the “pitch man” when running the option. In more power-oriented situations, rookie Fred Eriksunn will see the most snaps; what he lacks in shiftiness he makes up for in vision and quick acceleration, the ability to move a pile with hard, downhill runs. Converted wideout Andya Haartly and tailback Ryanna Mueller will get most of their looks out of the wishbone or in situations where the team needs to get into space in a hurry; the two backs, while not easy to tackle, don’t have the mass that Eriksunn has, and have to rely on doing their damage in space or behind their blocks. Still, they are home run threats on the run or as receivers, and are dangerous pitch backs on the option. Elisa Junnsunn is built in Mueller’s mold, but she’s still learning the Regulars’ system and is likely to get only a little playing time, mostly out of the Wishbone or as a slot receiver.

Offensive End (E):
#81 - Theoden Jaans - Age: 21; H: 6’3”; W: 232lbs
#87 - Waldr Hoerst - Age: 32; H: 6'5"; W: 228lbs
#82 - Udun Jaarlsunn - Age: 30; H: 6'6"; W: 250lbs
#86 - Lorne Kleiner - Age: 21; H: 6’3”; W: 248lbs
#83 - Harlyn Wyrnur - Age: 27; H: 6’2”; W: 220lbs
#80 - Piotr Shraedur - Age: 20; H: 6’2”; W: 221lbs
#89 - Torren Rikards - Age: 20; H: 6’4”; W: 232lbs

The Offensive End in this system is typically a larger tight-end/split-end hybrid player, and the Regulars will move their Ends between Tight and Split configurations to keep opponents off-balance and give different looks. The first pair is veteran wideout/tight-end Waldr Hoerst and pass-catching tight-end Theoden Jaans, who together provide a strong mix of quickness, sure-handedness, and blocking ability. The more run-oriented set is former tight-end Udun Jaarlsunn and newcomer Lorne Kleiner, both very capable blockers, with sure-handedness on their side but not much ability to stretch the field in the passing game. Torren Rikards and Piotr Shraedur are essentially a pair of pass-catching tight-ends who, while raw, should provide a similar skill-set to the first pairing.

Offensive Tackle (T):
#50 - Baeryk Astyr - Age: 29; H: 6'4"; W: 305lbs
#70 - Jormund Haagtynd - Age: 25; H: 6'4"; W: 315lbs
#72 - Josyf Brandt - Age: 24; H: 6’3”; W: 310lbs
#56 - Aldryk Mjorr - Age: 21; H: 6’4”; W: 301lbs
#75 - Theodur Izaaks - Age: 22; H: 6’3”; W: 304lbs
#78 - Faeryk Wynturs - Age: 21; H: 6’4”; W: 302lbs

The Regulars return four out of five starters along the offensive line. The one not returning, Bryndyn Kaarlsunn, has been replaced manning the left-side tackle position by former back-up left guard Jormund Haagtynd, who joins the well-established Baeryk Astyr as the book-end lineman. Josyf Brandt is an AGL washout who specializes in run blocking, making him a good fit with the Regulars. Aldryk Mjorr returns after joining the Regulars as a back-up last year. Theodur Izaaks and Faeryk Wynturs are slightly undersized additions to the tackle position who will rotate heavily to keep the line fresh.

Offensive Guard (G):
#65 - Snaari Knutsunn - Age: 32; H: 6'4"; W: 317lbs
#68 - Jorvik Staaghyrt - Age: 30; H: 6'3"; W: 314lbs
#60 - Bryndyn Ulfsunn - Age: 27; H: 6’3”; W: 314lbs
#52 - Erik Tyrrsunn - Age: 21; H: 6’2”; W: 301lbs
#61 - Ole Faalkenhorst - Age: 21; H: 6’1”; W: 300lbs
#73 - Graegyr Warden - Age: 20; H: 6’2”; W: 302lbs

Snaari Knutsunn returns as the Regulars’ most powerful, aggressive blocker. He’s complemented by fellow veteran Jorvik Staaghyrt, who, while not quite having Knutsunn’s “it” factor, is for the most part equally capable and a powerful engine for the Regular’s rushing attack. Bryndyn Ulfsunn and Erik Tyrrsunn are both holdovers who will rotate in frequently. While Ulfsunn is a capable veteran guard, Tyrrsunn, along with newcomers Ole Faalkenhorst and Graegyr Warden is considered a centerpiece of the Regulars’ next generation of great interior linemen.

Offensive Center (C):
#55 - Tyrrus Ungur - Age: 30; H: 6'4"; W: 302lbs
#67 - Margus Brynnur - Age: 26; H: 6’3”; W: 306lbs
#64 - Henrik Skarrsunn - Age: 20; H: 6’2”; W: 303lbs

The Regulars’ long-time center, Tyrrus Ungur returns to anchor the veteran interior line of Staaghyrt, Ungur, and Knutsunn. He meshes well with all three, combining to form a formidable interior blocking trio that can run-block aggressively and disciplined, but can also pass-protect effectively. Margus Brynnur is competent and capable, but is not as excellent of a center as Ungur is, while Henrik Skarrsunn has the same kind of flash and potential that Ungur once teased, but will take some work to get up to starting caliber. Expect all three to see playing time, as with other positions on offense.

Defense

Overview:

The Regulars have changed their base front and personnel package once again to play to their personnel strengths. The defense has changed to a hybrid nickel/Tampa 2 style front, utilizing four down linemen, two conventional linebackers, a middle safety/deep linebacker, and four true defensive backs. To match the change in offensive nomenclature, the Regulars have also altered their defensive nomenclature: defensive linemen are now classified as Guards and Ends, linebackers are listed as Tackles, with the Middle Linebacker/Strong Safety listed as the Center. Corners are listed as Flankers/Flankbacks, while Safeties are still listed as Safeties.

The Regulars’ defense can in some regards be considered organized chaos. The Regulars have started having trouble finding linebackers and defensive linemen at the sizes they are accustomed to, and have worked to compensate for it by scheming up blitzes, stunts, and quick personnel changes to keep players fresh and offenses off-balance. Being aware of the frequent mismatches they are likely to encounter in regards to size and athleticism, the Regulars opt for an active defense that proactively mucks up an offense’s functioning, rather than reacting to the offense.

The secondary is the most experienced part of the unit, and is trusted to limit big plays and keep passing attacks in check, while capitalizing on the disruption the front-seven is designed to create. The front seven will frequently be blitzing, stunting, and generally attacking offenses proactively to keep them off-balance and prevent them from finding a rhythm.

The unit, despite its youth and relative dearth of top-end athletic talents, should still be effective due to the team’s ability to freely rotate personnel without much drop-off, keeping players fresh, and the discipline drilled into the team, mostly preventing egregious penalties, ensuring large numbers of defenders flowing to the ball-carrier, and making it unlikely for players to be caught out-of-position; opponents might win one-on-one match-ups, or be able to scheme players open, or even beat the defense overall, but it’s highly unlikely to be due to lapses in discipline.

Starting Line-Up (4-3 Base Front)
E#95 FARRANGUR - G#99 MOERGYN - G#66 GRAHULM - E#98 ROENYR
T#44 VOEGYL - - - - - T#54 LUKAS
C#23 U'DAANYL
F#07 WITT - - S#05 BAENTY - - S#09 JUNNSUNN - - F#26 JUNNSUNN

Players By Position

Defensive Guard (G):
#99 - Baeryk Moergyn - Age: 22; H: 6’4”; W: 315lbs
#66 - Odyn Grahulm - Age: 26; H: 6'4"; W: 309lbs
#74 - Joran Haargrave - Age: 26; H: 6'3"; W: 312lbs
#94 - Izaak Vikkurs - Age: 24; H: 6’1”; W: 316lbs
#77 - Aldryk Harren - Age: 22; H: 6’2”; W: 310lbs
#62 - Ryan Merrik - Age: 20; H: 6’2”; W: 307lbs

The defensive guard position is equivalent to other teams’ defensive tackle. The interior of the line is typically anchored by the young, rising Baeryk Moergyn and defensive stalwart Odyn Grahulm, who make a formidable interior duo. They are capably spelled by fellow Regulars veteran Joran Haargrave and AGL castoff Izaak Vikkurs, while talented young players in Aldryk Harren and Ryan Merrik provide depth. All of these players are capable of playing the run and pass, although all of them might be on the borderline of being “undersized” for professional interior defensive linemen.

Defensive End (E):
#98 - Corryk Roenyr - Age: 22; H: 6’5”; W: 281lbs
#95 - Piotr Farrangur - Age: 34; H: 6'6"; W: 298lbs
#57 - Faeryk Joergsunn - Age: 25; H: 6’4”; W: 276lbs
#76 - Olesunn Kriegur - Age: 23; H: 6’3”; W: 284lbs
#91 - Jordyn Haensley - Age: 20; H: 6’2”; W: 283lbs
#79 - Wyllem Kristiansunn - Age: 25; H: 6’1”; W: 279lbs

The Regulars’ defensive end position is dominated by converted defensive tackles (Piotr Farrangur, Ole Kriegur) and SAM linebackers (Corryk Roenyr, Faeryk Joergsunn), all of whom are capable of playing the run in space or as back-side pursuit, or of rushing the passer. Once again, balance is the name of the game, and the top four defensive ends should all see a lot of playing time, with some modest snap counts for newcomers Jordyn Haensley and Wyllem Kristiansunn, both college defensive tackles.

Defensive Center (C):
#23 - Claetus U'Daanyl - Age: 27; H: 6'1"; W: 235lbs - CAPTAIN
#53 - Rebeka Kaarlsunn - Age: 23; H: 6’2”; W: 222lbs
#39 - Rikard Helig - Age: 20; H: 6’1”; W: 230lbs

In the Regulars’ reimagined defense, the Center occupies an unusual, but vital position. Acting as a hybrid box safety/middle linebacker, the Center frequently plays as a deep man in the middle, who is also tasked with coming up to play the run and even situationally rushing the passer in blitz packages. The position was created with athletic linebacker/safety hybrid Claetus U’Daanyl in mind, utilizing the mix of punishing power, uncanny gridiron IQ, and sideline-to-sideline speed that he brings to the field. Somewhat unusually for this defense, U’Daanyl takes a wide majority of snaps, although he might be situationally spelled by his back-ups. The first is converted Rush/Joker linebacker Rebeka Kaarlsunn, an aggressive, rangy defender who does not excel quite as much in man coverage but makes up for it by being a devastating open-field tackler. The second is converted strong-safety Rikard Helig, who, while raw, seems to have a very similar skill-set to U’Daanyl, which is quite a promising development.

Defensive Tackle (T):
#44 - Kaarl Voegyl - Age: 26; H: 6'4"; W: 254lbs
#54 - Graegyr Lukas - Age: 22; H: 6’3”; W: 250lbs
#47 - Margus Corwynn - Age: 26; H: 6'3"; W: 247lbs
#48 - Aeryn Warryk - Age: 26; H: 6’3”; W: 244lbs
#40 - Harald Flack - Age: 21; H: 6’1”; W: 241lbs
#51 - Erik Olsunn - Age: 20; H: 6’2”; W: 242lbs

In the Regulars’ new nomenclature, the defensive “tackles” are actually the team’s linebackers. The new defensive system only utilizes two true linebackers, led by Kaarl Voegyl and Graegyr Lukas. Voegyl and Lukas are both rangy, instinctive, hard-hitting linebackers who are capable in coverage against tight-ends and fullbacks, are physical, down-hill tacklers who can lay a hit on hapless ball-carriers, and who are slippery enough to slip through the line and contribute to the pass rush situationally. Margus Corwynn and Aeryn Warryk are a little better suited to pass coverage than to pass rush, and so will get more looks in obvious passing situations, but they are both veteran Regulars defenders who can capably execute all that they will be asked to do. Harald Flack and Erik Olsunn are scrappy linebackers who are undersized by Allamunnic standards, but play bigger than their frames might indicate. They have all the necessary skill-sets to run the Allamunnic defense, but they’re still being coached up to avoid the mistakes and correct form issues that linger in their young game.

Defensive Flankback (F):
#07 - Bryndyn Witt - Age: 27; H: 6'1"; W: 209lbs
#26 - Fredrik Junnsunn - Age: 22; H: 6’1”; W: 212lbs
#18 - Shonn Viktur - Age: 23; H: 6’1”; W: 204lbs
#14 - Alayna Kepler - Age: 21; H: 5’10”; W: 172lbs
#19 - Piotr Skellig - Age: 22; H: 5’11”; W: 196lbs
#10 - Rona Therrian - Age: 20; H: 5’9”; W: 168lbs

The Regulars’ cornerbacks (or flankbacks) are led by shutdown corner Bryndyn Witt and fellow holdovers Fred Junnsunn and Shonn Viktur. All three of them have large frames and the necessary speed and strength to cover almost any receiver they’re likely to run up against. Of the three younger corners, Piotr Skellig is the only one with a similar build; Rona Therrian is a smaller, speedier corner while Alayna Kepler makes up a middle ground. All three are capable, but are more prone to mental mistakes or to having deficiencies in their technique.

Defensive Safety (S):
#05 - Anke Baenty - Age: 27; H: 5'10"; W: 177lbs
#09 - Rikard Junnsunn - Age: 33; H: 6'1"; W: 210lbs
#32 - Junn Wyllur - Age: 22; H: 6’0”; W: 207lbs
#21 - Anessa Robyrts - Age: 21; H: 5’10”; W: 170lbs
#37 - Derrik Alder - Age: 20; H: 5’11”; W: 198lbs
#12 - Teresa Shumaker - Age: 20; H: 5’9”; W: 173lbs

The back end of the Regulars’ defense is anchored by veteran defensive back Anke Baenty, a roving ball-hawk who is a constant hazard to errant passers. She is complemented by long-time Regular Rikard Junnsunn. Who works in equal parts as a deep defensive back and as a box safety when called for, although the former is more common than the latter in the Regulars’ Cover-2 shell. He’s lost a step as he’s aged, but he more than makes up for it by his canny play. Junn Wyllur is built in a similar mould to Junnsunn, a big, physical defensive back who can act as a cover-man and a backfield enforcer. The rest of the Regulars’ new additions to the safety corps, Anessa Robyrts, Derrik Alder, and Teresa Shumaker, are smaller players better-suited to contributing to pass coverage and ball-hawking than to hard-hitting, although all three should acquit themselves competently in that part of their duties.

Special Teams

Overview:

Once upon a time, special teams (specifically kick and punt coverage) were huge liabilities for the Regulars. Over the years this has ceased to be the case; although they do concede the odd big special teams play here and there, on the whole the Regulars are well-equipped to win the battle of field position. This is in no small part due to the effectiveness of veteran place-kicker Kaarl Hunt and expert punter Wyatt Skode. Skode in particular is a huge part of the Regulars' defensive strategy, and while kick-offs still sometimes go awry, punt coverage has actually been a strength for the Regulars of late.

Players By Position

Placekicker:
#46 - Kaarl Hunt - Age: 32; H: 6'2"; W: 225lbs

Kaarl Hunt has been with the team for years. He's a reliable place-kicker who rarely misses inside of 50 yards. He's a little dicey beyond that, although he makes field goals out to 55 yards a little more often than not. Outside of the 55 yard mark, it's a little more of a crapshoot.

Punter:
#04 – Wyatt Skode – Age: 41; H: 6'0"; W: 215lbs – CAPTAIN

The Regulars' defense counts a lot on Wyatt Skode's ability to flip the field at the drop of a hat; the almost-40-year-old punter still has an excellent leg and has only gotten better, technique-wise, as his career has wound on; he's an expert on rugby-style punts and is good at dropping punts into corners where they can't be returned.

Long Snapper:
#71 - Vaargus Kynt - Age: 31; H: 6'2"; W: 285lbs

Vaargus Kynt is a little smaller than the Regulars like their linemen to be, which is why, while he is, theoretically, the third-string center, he's not likely to do anything beyond long-snapping unless things have gone dreadfully wrong. Still, his snaps are reliable and near-perfect, so that's not exactly a problem for anyone.

Team Stats

by **Ranoria** » Mon Dec 10, 2018 11:06 am

Terry Grayson, 35 years old. 12 years into an RFL career that many deemed over. And one of many ‘washed up’ veterans whom were participating in the World Bowl in the hopes of getting one more year.

Grayson wasn’t in he same situation as most of them, however. He had been a starter last season, just like he was in every season of that sure-fire hall of fame career, and had thrown for a career-high 3,604 Yards to go along with...22 touchdowns against 24 interceptions.

Now, it’s important to note that the Ranoria Football League plays an 16 game regular season, so he was averaging just over 200 yards a game, but at the same time, the pros in Ranoria aren’t quite up to speed. With the exception of the career passing yards and passing touchdowns holders, Luca Warren and Art Torrent, respectively, RFL quarterbacks were considered good if they were approaching a 1:1 ratio in terms of touchdowns to interceptions. In other words, an 18 touchdown, 20 interception season was pretty damn good.

And then, in 2012, the league shifted. Paul Verona arrived. No one knew who this kid was, some small-school quarterback with a big arm and good accuracy, but would he be able to keep up with professional speed?

Oh, you bet your ass.

Paul Verona didn’t shatter any records when he first took the field, but he was immediately the a top three quarterback in the RFL, throwing for 2,904 yards, 26 touchdowns, and only twelve picks, his arrival signaled the dawn of a new era.

The passing era.

Meanwhile, our buddy Terry Grayson? He was having an incredible year, throwing for 2,401 yards, 19 touchdowns and 13 picks, but he couldn’t quite stack up. And even when he managed to outdo Verona by a hair in 2013, tossing up a then career-high 3,150 yards and 22 touchdowns against only 8 picks, the second of the new wave of quarterbacks arrived in 2014.

Bo Callahan. Known as a very rich man’s Paul Verona, Callahan threw for a league high 3,622 yards, with Grayson’s number being the second highest, to go along with 20 scores and ten interceptions. Terry Grayson won league MVP that year, but he never came close to those two after that year, and soon enough, two more quarterbacks of their ilk came along, both out of Richardson University. Derek McNair and John Garrett. McNair wasn’t the same mold as the other three. Hell, he wasn’t the same mold as anyone, ever. A runner, and a great one, and he made his name off of it, while John Garrett was a deadly accurate passer with a huge arm and plus mobility to go along with a genius-level football intellect.

Grayson became an afterthought, failing to adapt. When his Pittsburgh Ironmen tried to change the offense to match what teams like the Dreadnaughts with Callahan and the Farmers with Verona were doing, he threw for 25 interceptions against 23 scores in 2015, the first time he’d grown more interceptions than touchdowns in his career. When they tried again in 2018, he threw for a career-high 3,401 yards and 24 touchdowns, but also turned the ball over 26 times, and in a fast-evolving league, that wasn’t good enough.

So instead, in 2019, they gave Grayson more command of the offense, a relatively new concept, but ran what he’d been successful with. It worked well, with Grayson, at age 33, heaving an even 3,000 passing yards, again hitting a career high in touchdowns with twenty five, and only 15 interceptions. It didn’t match the ratios of what the new breed was doing, but as hard as he’d worked that offseason, and in the season, it was the most satisfying improvement he’d ever made, even if he failed to win the championship that year.

The Ironmen disagreed with his notions.

In the 2020 draft, they traded multiple picks along with their 34 year old franchise quarterback to the struggling Knoxville Pioneers, who gave them the second overall pick in return.

The result? Most expected them to try and trade up to get John Garrett, who went in last year’s draft at first overall, but they did no such thing. No, they took Angelo Gordon, a pass rusher, second overall.

There had been other passers on the board. None of Garrett’s ilk, but the Ironmen were virtually without a quarterback now. How could they expect to win?

That question was quickly answered. Along with edge rusher Jarrett Hauptmann, the Ironmen answered the new wave of passers with a new breed of pass rusher, the two combining for startling 36.5 sacks off the edge, and when they faced John Garrett’s Indianapolis Hogs in the playoffs, they laid waste to him and his offensive line. They were a decade ahead of even the most modern RFL squads.

Oh? You’re wondering about Terry Grayson? Well, he was traded to the struggling Knoxville Pioneers, who had the best tight end in the league in Johnny Farmer. He threw for a career high in passing yards, which we mentioned above. 3,604 yards, 22 touchdowns, 24 interceptions. Not good enough in today’s league, especially with Farmer catching 20 of those touchdowns.

So, if you’re wondering why he’s here, that’s why. Grayson’s contract expired after that season, and he was not even considered for an extension. With very little interest in the free agency market, Grayson knows that this is his last chance to find a willing suitor, and he wants to face opponents who’s leagues have advanced past the RFL’s smash mouth style of play, and play with coaches who have the same mentality. And with him comes Johnny Farmer, the only bona-fide star on this team, who plays offense and a bit of defense. Farmer has made it very clear that, while he knows his quarterback will not be with him next season, he will do everything he can to help a fast friend improve.

Many expected John Garrett to sign up, after all, his best friend in Farmer is participating, and he himself played three seasons in the NSCF, where he won two conference championships, threw for more than 10,000 yards and 82 touchdowns against only ten interceptions. But he suffered multiple injuries in the RFL’s Iron Bowl Championship, suffering 12 sacks at the hands of the Ironmen. And when asked if he would have participated had he been healthy, his response was negative.

[box]”This isn’t the NSCF. It’s not like that at all. It’s a bunch of different guys from across the country, not a single team. This isn’t my Governors marching out there, these aren’t my brothers. I’ve got a couple former teammates out there, but most of the guys on the World Bowl squad are players that are struggling to hang on to a roster spot. Johnny? He wants to develop chemistry with his quarterback and help Grayson improve, and I’m all for that. Grayson was one of my favorite guys to watch when when I was younger, even in college. I want him to have success in his later years, push for the 40,000 yard club. Hell, maybe even fifty. And this is going to help him. Maybe, at some point, I’ll suit up for the Ranorian National Team. But right now? No. Not a chance. Besides that, I’ve had problems staying healthy since my senior year of high school. I don’t want to expose myself to more unnecessary hits than I have to.[box]

Well, I think that just about settles the matter, even if it would be exciting to see the young, brilliant passer on the field for more time than usual. Garrett, in the regular season, passed for 4,850 yards, 40 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions as a rookie, earning MVP honors.

It’s strange to think that, at just 35 years old, Ranoria’s 10th best man in terms of career passing touchdowns (250) and 8th in yards (31,991) is fighting for his job, much less a starting spot, but that, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly what is going on.

He isn’t the only legend fighting for a spot, however.

At 32 years old, pass rusher Justin Kearse is was cut from the Memphis Steamers, whom he’s played with his entire career. Kearse was very widely thought of as he best pass rusher in football since he came into the league in 2010, having led the league in sacks in 7 of his 10 seasons, and he has a career total of 138.5, the most ever recorded by a single player. When he started, Kearse was racking up around ten sacks per season, back when teams probably threw the ball about two hundred times per year. It was a sterling showing by him, and once the passes started really flying, he only got better. From 2013-2019, he was held to under 13 sacks only once, when he tore his ACL in week two of 2014. However, in 2020, his production finally slipped, the defensive lineman, who has transitioned from a speed to a power based rusher in his years, as his speed is slowly leaving him with age and, of course, his knee injury, mustering only 7.5 sacks in 16 games. He also hit only ten tackles for a loss, the lowest mark of his career outside his rookie season and the year he was injured.

So for Kearse, the best pass rusher in RFL history, this is a last stand, a chance to show the world that he still has what it takes to be a productive playmaker st the professional level. And from the sounds of it, he’s open to playing in another country if it means he can still play meaningful snaps.

Alongside him on the defensive line comes Kevin Gerhart, a monstrous defensive tackle who played at Richardson two seasons ago, now doing his work in the RFL, by Gerhart has struggled, mustering only 9 sacks and 15tackles for a loss in two seasons, and is hoping to gain some skill and technique out of this venture. He knows what he is capable when he is playing at his best, and surely world-class coaches should be able to refine his technique, right? At any rate, he will be a dominating force on the interior of this defensive front should he figure out how to up his game.

He certainly has all of he tools for it. Gerhart is a natural, and vocal leader, and makes it his mission to outwork everyone around him. The bear of a man stands at an intimidating 6’5”, 335 pounds, and pushed a whopping 42 reps of 225 pounds at the RFL combine. Even more freakishly, he ran a 4.98 40, somehow going under 5 seconds in that massive body, and has flashed the ability to occasionally come off the edge. It’s absurd. If the coaching staff can help him improve his game at all, Gerhart will be a wrecking ball on the interior of this defensive line.

And finally, the sixth and final player that we will spotlight, comes Henry Johnson. Johnson has been a mainstay in the top 5 rushing men in Ranoria for years, and the 6’3”, 240 pound running back is nothing less than a beast. He is also the only player who has signed up for the squad specifically because of his patriotism, the bruiser, at 29 years old, not worrying about aging legs after running wild in the RFL for 1,702 yards and 18 touchdowns last season.

So that’s it. Those six are the core of this Ranorian squad, or, at least, look to be.

Aging, washed up quarterback Terry Grayson; star tight end/ defensive end Johnny Farmer; aging, savvy pass rusher Justin Kearse; underperforming interior wrecking ball Kevin Gerhart; and monstrous, all-pro running back Henry Johnson. What they’ll be able to achieve? Who knows at this point, but we’re all, obviously, hoping for some fireworks from this group on the international stage.

NEWMANISTAN ROCKETS

WORLD BOWL 36 ROSTER

"Proudly underachieving since World Bowl I"

Starters (Offense) (Standard Formation, Multiple Formations will actually be used)
QB- #6- Alex Nelligan, 31, Tundra Falls Mariners
HB- #22- Cameron Hall, 30, Putnam Lake Eagles (Averages 60% of carries)
FB- #48- Jimmie Gordon, 35, Daytopia Racers
WR- #83- Kevin Ambroziak, 30, Putnam Lake Eagles
WR- #87- Drew Oliveras, 26, Pocono City Capitals (First Time Starter)
TE- #86- Clyde Sanders, 25, South Charlotte Condors

LG- #66- Kevin Shields, 33, Putnam Lake Eagles
C- #69- Peter Dorsey, 35, North Charlotte Wildcats
RG- #62- Darius Chansler, 33, Eastport Falcons
RT- #63- Michael Janssen, 27, Southport Tigers

About the offense:
Despite many people criticizing him, especially Brianne Henry with The Rocket Report, Alex Nelligan led the Rockets to an improbable run to the World Bowl 34 title game. It was the first time that the pocket passer had been declared the starter, and while some thought he was only named that because he plays for Marvin Dineen (head coach) in Tundra Falls, proved people wrong. Now, he just needs to prove it wasn't a fluke. In World Bowl 34, there were many new additions to the starting lineup, so given their success, turnover is limited to a retirement replacement. As the team continued to play well into World Bowl 35, the roster consistency again holds true.

The offensive line is mainly in tact from last time. Ricky Longhurst returns again, and this man is simply not going to be outsmarted. He is a mastermind of the game, and a true warrior. He will not be beaten tactically. You may beat him physically, but not tactically, and he is almost never called for penalties. More then likely, it’s the other side of the line guilty when that key holding call is made against us.

Starters (Defense) (The Rockets Generally Use a 4-3 Base)

CB: #31- Marques Cordova, 32, Centralia Cougars

About The Defense:
The defense had five first-time starters on the roster during World Bowl 34, and many thought it would be a weakness of the team. However, the would gel as the season went on and had a great playoff run, in that World Bowl, with performance remaining consistent in World Bowl 35. Not surprisingly, this unit has been kept in tact. Gilles has had two consecutive monster World Bowls.

World Bowl 36 - Ko-orenite National Team

Offence
Starting QB De Croon is a good runner and an allround dual threat himself. Sylvestre is a QB who has an amazing arm and good accuracy, perfect for situations in the late game where Ko-oren trails, or if the opposing DBs aren't very good. You may call him everything between a gunslinger and a pocket passer, but lacks mobility. Hedgecock is a 'West Coast' QB who's well versed in reading defences, athletic enough to evade sacks if the pocket collapses, but rarely finds receivers for huge gains. De Croon and Hedgecock will share starting QB duties, and Sylvestre will be used regularly if his talents are needed.

The running backs are old, but have proven their worth. Mannussen and Zanonthen are 30 years old vertical runners, Thorebourne is 22 years old, and is capable of stretching defences horizontally. Svenszoon is a good fullback from a team used to lots of running, and is a good blocker, but can run the ball very well too.

This World Bowl, the offence will use TEs less. Only three were selected. Cazal and Tharadhen are primarily blockers, Pwlh is primarily a receiver. Meanwhile, the team is up from three WRs to seven. It's not a surprise so many TEs and WRs are from Aminey, they normally play with Sylvestre after all. Schoolhendrik, Whitlock and Patrasthen are tall deep threats with good hands, route running and finding gaps in zone coverages. ySarrwdd, Lokaguthen and Varafin are 'underneath guys', meaning that they can catch in traffic and can find some yards after the catch. Crozier is the best of both worlds. There are a variety of sweeps run with ySarrwdd and Lokaguthen, but other receivers occasionally as well.

On the line, the starting tackles are very good players. The guards are athletic enough to pull and perform trap runs. The rest of the OL is average at best. It shouldn't hold back the team's performance too much, but the running game isn't always going to get help from the blockers, and De Croon, Sylvestre and Hedgecock won't necessarily always finish the game with a clean jersey or without having to scramble a few times.

Defence
The defence is the pride of the team. They'll be extremely well prepared for any team they meet, and the coaching staff is a weapon of its own. They are able to confuse the opposing QB, and have the technique to run stunts, force fumbles, and hide coverages. Normally the team features a 3-4, but 4-3 is used as well and nickelbacks are common too.

The defensive line is where it all begins. The interior line consists of great run stoppers. During run plays, the ends aren't always great at coming off of blocks, though. A gaps shouldn't result in a lot of yards, but B and C gaps can yield some results if the linebackers are too late (which doesn't happen often, but it's definitely possible).

The linebackers are a multi-talented bunch, and are asked to do a lot of things at the same time. This is also how they're used in Ko-oren. Expect the MLBs to be better at covering and tackling and the OLBs to be better at beating blocks and getting to the QB or RB quickly. As with the rest of the defence, they'll come tactically prepared: they should know if they have to keep an eye on the QB if that's the type to scramble, what kind of RBs are on the opposing team, etc.

The secondary is the best unit of this team. This is where the team looks best: disguising coverages, mixing zone and man defence, forcing turnovers and otherwise keeping the offence out of the endzone. The coaching staff does an excellent job keeping them up to date with whatever the other offence is likely to do.

Special Teams
Special teams are another hidden treasure in the Ko-orenite team. The players show discipline on kickoffs and punts, covering them well and aware that a kickoff is live whereas a punt just needs to get as close to the endzone as possible without ending up inside it. The retuner(s) use the trick of stepping out of bounds to receive a kickoff to start the drive on the 40 as well.

The Nordic Football Association is proud to announce the team for World Bowl 36. The team is the same as last time so they are familiar with each other and they have great chemistry with each other on and off the field.The offensive strategy is the same as last time. It is a fun and gun offense but we will run it a little bit more than last time. On defense we are aggressive. We like to blitz and bring pressure. We will get burned deep but we can get to the quarterback or the ball carrier most of the time.

Notes on Style of Play

The Flexbone is an offense that is built around athletic quarterbacks who can run and pass. If a quarterback is injured, a new one will step in and will run a similar style of offense. Triple options are a significant part of the offense but the slotbacks are very capable pass receivers and the fullback is a capable inside runner. There is also a variant of the Flexbone that utilizes a tight end. In this variant, one of the slotbacks moves out to the wing to become a wingback. While they will run the ball around two thirds of the time, passing plays can be extremely effective in this offense and they will go after the opposing defense with pass plays if they focus too heavily on stopping the run.

The Republican version of the 46 defense relies heavily on pressure and pre-snap movement. The strong safety in this defense is more comparable to a linebacker. The aim of this defense is to shut down the run and force the opposing QB to throw quickly. Against spread formations, they will drop extra men into coverage. While the linebackers will have trouble covering fast wide receivers man-to-man, they are fast enough to hang with a possession receiver. To play for the Republican National Team, defenders have to be fast regardless of position and they have to be looking to force turnovers at every opportunity.

OOC: Since the Everything Thread is up, I'm going to start posting IC posts for Main Nation Ministry. Even though, I plan to do it possibly tomorrow, I had so much time I felt it's best to post it now.

Prologue: Somewhere in the Future..

Dorbi Truman was having a bad day. I guess he could consider that everyone was having a bad day, also. Because they couldn't do anything, but watch what was happening. Dorbi met up with the reporting squad captain, as they were several hallways away from what was happening inside of the complex. "Where's Jones?! Harrington has gone rampant and the Leader is brainwashed by that creature!" Truman yelled, as the rest of the soldiers nearby were doing their best to make sure no civilians were in the building. "Mr. Truman, Emmanuel Jones is within the building. Due to the situation, it's possible he is already exposed to the memetic effects within." the captain explained. "Did you, at least, get the cameras back running? If we're lucky, we can confirm whenever we should fill the place with poisonous gas." Truman said.

At the security room, several technicians were busy trying to get the cameras back online. "Mr. Truman-"
"Don't just call me Mr. Truman! Just fall out say the answer to my question!"
"As you can see, it might take us several hours. The current predicated fatality rate is around 10 people, so far."
"We can't risk Jones being one of them!"

"Sir!" A technician yelled to the captain, as he managed to get the security camera for the B1 Lounge operational. The camera was portable, as it was possible to have the location of it being changed. The monitor was currently static, but some adjusting with the signal caused the feed to slowly come up. Everyone gathered around the monitor, not knowing what to expect, until something horrible appeared on the screen. It was Jones. And.. "Oh god.." Truman couldn't help, but let his jaw drop from the bloody sight on the monitor. The camera must have been knocked on the door, but the quality was still in good condition. Jones was covered in blood and had the look of an enraged animal who was backed in a corner. He was gripping a fire ax in his hands, which was stained with the same substance. The monitor went back to static seconds later.

"What did I just saw? Tell me! Jones has gone mad! We need to send an assault team immediately, if we want-" Truman was demanding orders, until a scream from outside the room caught everyone off guard. Several soldiers went outside the room, where they immediately screamed alongside with the sounds of bullets. Truman immediately went under a desk, wondering if it was who he thought it was. One of the soldiers in the same room as him inched towards the door with a grenade in their hands. Pulling the pin, the soldier tossed it through the door, until it suddenly came back into the room. The grenade was luckily for crowd-control, as it only released a flash that was enough to temporarily blind eyes and several pellets with some of them hitting Truman's body. The soldier who threw it was unconscious, as the door busted open. Harrington stood at the doorway, raising a combat knife that seemed to be already stained with blood from those who tried to kill them. Harrington walked over to the soldier, where they kicked away their gun, where slid next to Truman.

Truman immediately grabbed it, where Harrington took notice. Truman attempted to fire at them, but the safety pin was preventing it from firing. Harrington calmly walked over and grabbed Truman by the leg, pulling him from his hiding spot to raise their knife to his neck. Truman dropped the gun and being afraid to the point of getting a heart attack said, "Harrington! You need to stop this! Please! I don't care if the Leader wants you alive, but I agree with him once!"

"My name isn't Harrington, anymore." The answer that Truman heard proceeded to haunt him, as he saw himself in a dilemma.

Present Day

The Truth News

4 Killed in Fishburger Explosion, Terrorist Attack Plausible!

"In a series of unfortunate events, the recently popular Fishburger fast-food restaurant has been the location of an on-site explosion at Sector 74. Fishburger was made as a take on the popular "capitalistic" fast-food corporations as a satire. Despite this, the Fishburger "fish burger" proved to be a hit. It was a moment of surprise, when early this morning, the Fishburger drive-thru restaurant has exploded, decimating the area around it. Rescue officials and soldiers arrived to assist in the situation, where even though the restaurant was closed for maintenance, several bodies were found in the debris. The bodies have been identified, however the Ministry of Homeland Security has not released details, yet. According to the certain known information, the cause of the explosion was not a homemade bomb, but was described to be a tampering with several gas mains that showed the implication of four play. This story is currently trending, as more details will be released shortly."

"To see information on World Bowl 36, turn to Pg. 10."

The Leader woke up from a nightmare at his desk, where the half of his face was coated in a puddle of drool. It was strange, because the Leader can't seem to remember what the dream was. However, it didn't affect him physically. It's still strange, shouldn't he be in his-
"Leader? I'm here to send news of...the girl's arrival back to Main Nation Ministry." the soldier said, entering the room and careful to not say Keller Harrington's name. "Ah! I see that Kuronami was enough to take things to something reasonable. I must know, also. How is the experimental "chipcard" going at the Ministry of Science?"
"The "chipcard" has been decommissioned, since the subjects were compulsorily spending and draining the resources from the card."

"Well, at least that's good news." The Leader wondering what else was of importance. "By the way, Emmanuel Jones is being Assistant Coach this year?" The Leader asks. "Positive, sir. Jones is planning taking a break, but will be assistant coach if things need to be notched up." the soldier explained. "Very well, I guess for this World Bowl, things will be typical as always?" The Leader said, as the soldier left. Now, all the Leader needed to do was go back to his usual work. Getting the issues that were regularly presented in a simple multiple choice format, the Leader tends to mark the answer that seems to appear to make Main Nation Ministry the typical dictatorship. As he was doing his work, he began to question some things. Why exactly is he getting these issues? They just appear on a "File In" slot in his office. No one knows to drop them off or pick them off. Maybe he-

No. It was nothing. The Leader started to smell something in his office. It smelled like some sort of berry. And coconut? Just his imagination. The Leader sighed and proceeded to continue his work.

"There is that vandal. Making a fool of himself in front of everyone."
"Why are you people worshiping this man!? Have you all lost empathy!? Why are people ignoring me!?"
"Sir, freeze! Drop that bottle down and step away from the screen with the Leader!"

"Keller? I come that you saw me and Mother upstairs, talking. But you can't just eavesdrop on people like that. Do you understand?"

"Here you go, Mr. Jones. A snapshot to cherish your memories. You're planning on getting this put on the same table with the medals when you come back from the war?"

The Familiar Stranger: The Portal

Somewhere in Forest Sector 6, Danny was taking his dog off for a walk in the middle of the woods. It was still daylight and the sun wasn't going to set until another couple hours. Danny didn't need to have his dog on a leash, since the dog didn't nibble at any of the security cameras that were put up in the woods. A simple walk was all he usually gets. However, on this day, Danny's dog suddenly stopped in the woods. Danny saw the worried expression on the dog's face, as it seemed to be not wanting to proceed further. "Come on, boy! We're been walking here for years? What's the matter?" Danny asks, where the dog seems to not want to proceed at a certain direction. Danny let the dog stay and went deeper in the woods.

In the middle of the woods, there was something visibly different that Danny knew didn't appear at all during his walks in the woods. It was some sort of sidewalk or walkway made from some old planks. The wood didn't appear to from any tree that Danny knew. The walkway was narrow where near the end was a wooden arch which hanged some bones from some animal. Danny stepped on the walkway, wondering where it led. He can see through the arch, knowing he was going to be on the other side of the woods. However, when Danny stepped through the arch, the setting changed. In a flash, he heard the sound of an alarm and felt the flames that went near him. He immediately stepped down and found himself in front of the arch again. On the other end was the woods. But when he went through the arch, he encounter flames? Why?

Danny got his hand and slowly put it through the arch. Just like that, his hand vanished from view. He can feel his hand being warm from being on the other side. He put his hand back out, where he looked at the arch. Then, he took off running out of the woods back to his dog.

Opponents
In the Group stage, we have five different opponents, whom we all play once in the Orange Bowl and once in the 65ers Arena, both in the northern metropolis of Schemerdrecht. The Dragonflies are fielding another no-fly zone of a team, with a defence that is smart and unforgiving, alongside a capable offence and tricky special teams. Never making mistakes is the core belief behind this team, and organising the team so mistakes are as unlikely as possible is the biggest job of the coaching staff.

We face the Main Nation Ministry, a team with a great talent for running the ball from all kinds of different formations. That is pretty much the only way to challenge our defence, but even then a stunting secondary should be able to lay siege to their backfield. With a 4-3 defence, the Ministry doesn't play a particularly odd defence, but it's a tested concept that won't hold them back much.

Another opponent is Xanneria, who play a fiercely attacking style with a good decision maker as a signalcaller (Vic Reese), aided by a variety of running plays (Jamie Lords and Romeo Reynolds) and a lot of short and mid-to-deep passing concepts ran by their wide receivers and tight end, with the occasional screen or dump-off to either back. We wish them a lot of good luck with this, as this is generally the kind of offence our secondary feasts on - but the amount of misdirection Xanneria can pull off may very well trouble our defence quite a bit too. Xanneria also play a standard 4-3 defence, so adapting between the two largest opponents of this group shouldn't be too difficult.

Then there are the Equestrian States, a pretty well-known rival to us. Not much is known about them yet other than the video of their first game against Xanneria, so we know they brought a very talented squad.

A revamped Kytlerian squad is in the group as well, back in the World Bowl after a lengthy absence. They focus heavily on defence, like us, with a fairly comparative defensive scheme. 3-4 as a base, with linebackers who are decent in coverage, somewhat vulnerable against good running teams. The offence can get a bit creative with lots of running and play-action, but with a far greater focus on blocking than our own offence. That, and the colours, means there will be two very similar teams on the field twice this World Bowl.

Skundi is an unknown factor for us, but more on them as the group goes on.

Monsan Football kicked off in the 36th edition of the World Bowl against Banijia. The Banijian's were ranked 21st and the Monsans Total Newcomers. Nothing much was expected for the Monsan Newcomers, but fans still walked away disappointed. A 40-0 blowout by the experienced side.

After the game, Monsan Coach Stanley Kidd said that he was extremely disappointed in his team and that some changes needed to be made to the lineup. Those changes came later that evening Matt Mattel to Starting QB, Trevor Stamro overtaking his brother, and Gertrud Munter to move up to react . 3 big changes and 3 big positions to keep count. As Monsan's react to the game with sadness and fury, time will only tell if Monsan's can ever pull off a good result in the great game of Football.
