Charter Champions League II
This is a The Fourth Sovereign Charter sports roleplay. Only members of this region may post in this thread.
Many nations across Origin hold their own domestic competitions, but rarely do the very best clubs compete from across the globe. To counter this, the Charter Football Association (CFA), have opted to create the Champions League. Here, the two best clubs in each nation will be invited to compete for the chance to win the Charter Cup. The competition will take the form of a double round-robin competition, with each team playing each other in home and away fixtures.
In the inaugural season, the best team from four nations - Asgareth, Heartfilia, Nouvel Acadie and Greater Slavacia - played against one another for the Charter Cup. After a hard fought contest, Nouvel Acadie won the Charter Cup with an emphatic 6-1 victory at home to the Slavacia National Team. Now, the CFA looks to expand the league. More nations are invited, and each are invited to submit TWO teams.
So without further ado, the application:

FAQ’s:
“How many teams can I submit?”
You are allowed to submit a maximum of TWO teams, though of course fewer are permitted.
“How many players do I need to submit?”
23 players are requested in your application. You are asked to specify your starting eleven (XI). You are free to change your starting XI at any time, but please draw attention to it in your posts.
"When do I need to sign up by?"
To compete in the second iteration, you must sign up by the 20th December 2019
“Can I sign up after the first round?
No, sorry. You’d be behind other players and I’d probably have to auto some matches. It’s just easier to have a cut-off date.
“When will results be posted?”
Results will be posted every Friday. This will give everyone a week to respond, before the next update (and bonuses will of course be adjusted accordingly in this time).
“What should I roleplay?”
Whatever you want – within reason. If you want to give a detailed account of the match, or a preview of what’s to come, or an interview with a player or a newspaper report… whatever takes your fancy.
“Can I blow up a stadium? Or kill an opposing player? Or have the other team taken hostage?”
Yes – assuming you’ve spoken with those affected beforehand. Please also note that the Charter Football Association (CFA) is likely to punish state-sponsored terrorism, or teams that commit crimes. Obviously this isn’t meant to dissuade you – and certainly, it will always add an extra element to matches – but please know you won’t simply get away with it.
“What do I win if I finish top?”
Pride in your fictional nation’s ability to play football. And possibly a bonus in the next league (if and when that happens)
“Is there relegation? Or play offs?”
No. There likely won’t ever be a need for relegation – I doubt we’d have such a number of teams. Same answer for play offs.
Technical:
"How will this work?"
So, signups run from the 13th-20th December. In this time, you are more than welcome to RP something (your player's arrival, or predictions for the league or whatever takes your fancy.) Roleplaying during this period will provide a bonus for the first round. Those results will be posted on the 20th. From then on, you'll have a week to RP whatever, before the results are posted on the Saturday.
“What scorinator are you using?”
I’m using xkoranate, and will utilise the NSFS formula
“Will there be bonuses”?
Yes! There will be bonuses. Bonuses will be given out for form and for active roleplaying. I won’t go into the specifics on either, because they’re both fairly self-explanatory, but basically a string of wins, or a string of losses will impact your team. Similarly, active roleplaying will be rewarded to encourage frequent posting.
“Am I guaranteed to win with these bonuses?”
No! Of course not. There’s an aspect of luck in this as well.
“What about rank? There have to be some teams that are just naturally better than others.”
Teams that participated in the most recent season will be ranked according to where they finished. A small bonus will be applied to these teams (though this bonus may well be detrimental). New entrants will receive no positive or negative bonus.
“But I was in a league 5 years ago and did really well and -?”
Sorry to say, but the Charter was a very different place 5 years ago. Much like United fans, you’re living in the past.
Rules
- The Fourth Sovereign Charter members only. Sorry, but if you want to join you’ll need to join our region.
- Accept all results in good faith. Yes, it may seem unlikely that a team of adults could lose to a team of babies, but the scorinators ruling is final. With that said, please don’t submit a team of babies.
- If you have any questions, ask. Telegram Asgareth or find me on discord.
- Have fun!
