Moser Boxing Cup Signups [CLOSED]

If this may be your first time entering this boxing competition, which it is, then you might want to get some tips and headers first about our way of playing that sticks with the scorinator

1 OF 3: POINTS
At the beginning, all nations and their representatives have the same amount of points which is 1. For a win, yours gains 0.25 points, for a loss yours detracts by the same amount. This is how we shape up the winners from the losers!

2 OF 3: REPRESENTATIVES
A representative is your nation's selected boxer. You must have an entry about them to qualify for the Moser. As always, the longer, the better!

3 OF 3: BRACKET STYLE
We don't really have a tournament bracket, it would get really messy. But what we have in store is a Round Robin. This particular round robin bracket can store up to 8 international boxing representatives and the representative that gets the most match day wins the Moser and is host to the next one... if they want

HOSTING AND BID
The nation that wins the Moser decides for themselves if they want to host for the next one or not. If they decline, it is free for a bid. For now, it's still free for a bid

SCORINATOR

We as in me, use xkoranate for our authenticity and scoring purposes. You might see results like:
() def. () (RSC)
() 6-6+ ()
() 8-7 ()
Don't be scared! These are the scores that a MOSER would produce! It's pretty uncommon to most amateur and professional boxing as most use the fabled 10-point system. Which I say is fine, but it lacks points for creativity. So this is why you're prone to seeing results like this.

I have gladly locked your Sumo signup thread, but this thread also has the same glaring lack of information and administrative problems as that thread did.

How will you, or a selected host, generate the scores for this? Mentioning the word Scorinator a few times doesn't count, I'm afraid.

I added a section on scorinators and some unrelated rules. I hope this will change it for the better

You haven't answered the question.

[Pratapgadh]

I will be interested in hosting this.

Don't be scared! These are the scores that a modern boxing competition might distribute!

Just so you're aware, this method of scoring in boxing is now deprecated. All boxing, pro and amateur, now uses the 10-point must system. That said, there's nothing stopping you from using this method. It's just best not to claim "[t]hese are the scores that a modern boxing competition might distribute". If anything, it suggests you probably don't know much about boxing, which then raises the question why you want to run a boxing tournament.

Fixed! The only reason that might be was to put my xkoranate to use by means of this boxing competition to get to know what officiating feels like, if that's your question.

Boxer: Junn Gugolthra
Size: 5"11, 150 pounds
Lefthandedness: No
Signature: Rear-Naked Choke
Style: 6 - Offensive
Origins: Junn was never a very dedicated boxer in his early days, only inteterested in the sport at age 13, he competed in a few local tournaments and lost all of them. Dubbed "jumbo shrimp" by most, he is 150 pounds and 5"11. Adter that, he'd never gone back to the sport for four years. This time, though it was a new and improved Gugolthra, who had trained every day, had an eagle-eyed coach and improved his physique in doing so.

Only a week later then, the nation of Geektopia had decided what to do with its best boxers and made an international contest. Of course, Gugolthra was chosen as a representative for Geektopia, and here he is, in the limelight of his boxing career.

There will be a "Redemption Cup" designed for the latter half of the Round Robin bracket, to try and well, redeem themselves. 15 is not an even number so we're only including the bottom seven.

I will also sign up for the MOSER

We, as a news source, cannot substantiate or disprove this.

You don't take this very seriously, do you? Nevertheless, there is no roleplay requirement so you will still compete

[Lardsty]

Sorry, I'll try and be a bit more realistic . Also, why are you so desperate for replies and/or views?

[Geektopia]

BECAUSE ! I just want 3 other nations to qualify, as we're sliding down the forums in popularity faster than an avalanche. These are dire straits! Or maybe, we're tooting our horn too much. I DON'T KNOW! What I know is right though is to help MOSER in it's shadow of obscurity and sign up!
