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.

Useful Info
- Cutoff will be at or just after 21:00 CET (15:00 Eastern).
- Given the holidays, the schedule may become a bit fluid. I intend to finish the group stage before Christmas, but you all know what these weeks can be like so there might be some delays here and there.
- Tiebreakers: Wins / H2H / Point differential
- Group winners, runners-up, and the two best third placed teams advance to the Round of 16.

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.

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.
