The United Republic of Delaclava presents...
World Bowl XXXIX

Welcome, all competitors, to the 39th edition of the World Bowl! The nation of Delaclava is grateful to bring the best (and other) teams together for the world's premier gridiron competition for the third time. Forty-eight teams enter this eastern Atlantian Oceanian republic, seeking to take home all the spoils - including the competition's only six-time champion, six other two-time winners, the defending champions, numerous formidable squads, and promising newcomers.

The teams entered into this tournament and included in the list above may now begin to post their rosters and roleplay posts. I will also post results in this thread as well as keep this original post updated with tournament details. If you have any questions or OOC notes, please either TG me or post in the Discussion thread linked above.

Keep reading for further details on this edition of the tournament!

Format

Group Stage: Eight groups of six, where every team will play each groupmate twice (once home, once away) for a total of ten games. Group standings will be sorted by Wins, H2H, H2H differential, overall differential, then RP bonus.

Elimination: All matches in this stage take place in Delaclava. The Round of 16 will face off group winners against group runners-up, seeded by group performance and avoiding group rematches. The eight losers are eliminated from the tournament. The eight winners will be re-seeded by group performance, again avoiding group rematches, and entered into a double-elimination bracket. After the winner’s bracket and loser’s bracket are completed, the winners of the two brackets will compete for the World Bowl, with the winner of the loser’s bracket needing to win twice to clinch the championship. The resulting winning team is the World Bowl champion, and the resulting losing team is the runner-up. The third place team is the runner-up of the loser’s bracket.

It is recommended that you post the following list of RP permissions in your roster, along with a choice of "Yes" or "No" (or a more specific explanation if you'd like) for each item. This will allow you to cooperate with your opponents and fellow competitors when either you or your opponent RPs is the first to RP about your given match. Please respect the listed permissions of your competitors, as well as their roleplay itself if they have completed their RP before you. If you have any concerns regarding this, please contact me via TG or the Discussion thread.

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]:

Additionally, please do not reserve a post for a roster/roleplay and edit it later. This will make it harder to track when an RP has been completed so it can be graded. Any necessary adjustments throughout the tournament, i.e. for injuries, substitutions, roster changes, etc.

Now get to rostering and roleplaying - and we wish all of you an enjoyable and successful World Bowl!

Delaclava Information

The United Republic of Delaclava is a massive democratic republic that prides itself on education and scientific development, culture and music, liberality with regard to entertainment and to the human body, and active lifestyles with an emphasis on recreation and sport. It is no wonder that the various national teams of Delaclava - known as the "Phoenixes" across all sports - have enjoyed a moderate degree of success in the past, and that athletes and governing bodies alike desired to immediately grow domestic competition and international contributions upon the conclusion of a six-decade isolation from the outside world.

Located in the heart of Atlantian Oceania, we are happy to showcase a diverse group of locales around the vast geography - old cities to the south now distinguished as artistic and historical hubs; sparkling new metropoleis on the west coast noted for industry and commerce; and a variety of islands off the mainland, each with a different culture on offer. Some of these cities will host playoff games - many will not, but with the advanced public transportation systems available - monorails on the mainland and mass-transit speed boats to the islands - you should have plenty of facility to take some free time and explore. The Delaclavs love their athletes, both home and visiting, and would be happy to show you around.

Catherina

This large, sparkling, opulent, real-life “city on a hill” could not be a more perfect national capital, both in physical geography and design. It is located in the center of the large Atlantian Oceanian mainland, on a massive and sprawling plateau adjacent to the Alexandria Mountains and surrounded by the “Three Rivers” - Alexandria, Ulysses, and Odysseus. In pre-isolation Delaclava, the city continued to grow and develop its infrastructure and culture, shaped by global exchange, and in its own right was representative of Delaclav culture and society to the rest of the world. During social and government reforms that took place in the isolation era, the people sought to perhaps find a new location as the Delaclav capital - but a better-suited locale simply did not exist. Thus, Catherina proudly remains the capital, outfitted with new ideals but retaining its usual splendor.

The Catherina games will be played at the National Athletic Complex, unquestionably one of the most distinctive characteristics of the Delaclav capital. The Complex has been home to virtually ever single international competition that Delaclava has hosted. The United Republic has countless regions, cities, and venues to showcase to the rest of the world, but ultimately all roads lead to the DNAC. The three stadiums in use are:

- Royster Field - named after Max Royster, the winning Delaclav coach of World Bowls XIII and XV. Formerly named Golden Grass Field, which hosted the finals of World Bowls XI, XV - the Phoenixes’ second victory - and Baptism of Iron 4. Seats 110,000.
- Branten Bowl - named after Billy Branten, longtime Delaclav quarterback and captain. Formerly named Dragon Field. Seats 80,000
- Swarzreng Stadium - named after Andy Swarzreng, longtime Delaclav wide receiver, all time receiving yards and offensive touchdowns leader, named team MVP for both Phoenixes’ World Bowl victories. Formerly named White Bear Stadium. Seats 80,000 - White Bear Stadium sat 100,000 but capacity was reduced during renovations and facility improvements.

With the way the schedule has been laid out, every quarterfinal team will play at least one match in Catherina - and the quarterfinal losers will immediately leave Quinnville or Manchester and head to Catherina. When you come here, don’t be fooled by the awe-inspiring beauty of this metropolis - you are fighting for your life. But make no mistake: one of you will survive long enough to lift the World Bowl trophy.

Manchester

Manchester is to the modern United Republic what Catherina was to pre-isolation Delaclava: the largest and most populous city, the center of economic growth and technology, the heartbeat of mainstream culture, the flocking point for immigration, new beginnings, fresh ideas and innovations. Unlike the centrally located Catherina, Manchester is located on the east coast, occupying a sharply tapered peninsula penetrating the sea, pointing out towards Paripana and to the rest of the world. Fittingly for this competition, it also maintains an impressive sporting legacy - to name a few points, it is home to the St. James University Eagles, the most decorated athletic program of the past century; the new Pride of Manchester, the 110,000-seat stadium that recently opened and has hosted numerous World Cup qualification matches; and the Manchester Grass Court Championships, the most prestigious competition in the Delaclav national sport of tennis.

The three Manchester games - two quarterfinals and a semifinal - will be played at Eagles Stadium, a 75,000-seat gridiron-only stadium that is home to the St. James Eagles football team. The largest city in Delaclava is also a football-crazy city, and Eagles Stadium will be bursting at the seams on gameday, not to mention every nearby bar, restaurant, and house party. Soak it all in and give the fans a show.

Quinniville

This old and historic west coast city seems to defy many conventions of large cities, particularly those of Delaclava. It is unassuming, quaint, lush and green. It is a metropolitan area of 3 million people where everyone knows their neighbors; it is a productive yet workers-first economy; the people never put on airs yet regularly demonstrate the best of Delaclava. Yet the more recent west-coast explosion in Delaclava, including even larger cities such as Santa Lourdes, Valeina, Crystal Lake, and Salem, are a natural outgrowth of the Quinniville foundation - bigger, faster-paced, younger and more modern, yet still humble and smiling. Quinniville is also a significant gateway to the rest of Atlantian Oceania, and it is a city that gladly evolves as it takes in migrants and cultural imports, while remaining fixed in its core identity.

The Quinniville matches - also two quarterfinals and a semifinal - will be played at Sullivan Stadium, a 70,000-seat gridiron-only stadium that is home to the Quinniville Aces, the defending DGL champions, as well as the Quinniville Institute of Technology football team. The “town” of Quinniville is friendly and charming, but the victorious teams in Quinniville will not be lulled into a false sense of security by the time they take the field. Win or lose, you’ll enjoy your stay here - but whether you leave with regrets is up to you.

Sarzonia Stars

If my opponent RP's our game first, they may:
Choose my scorers: Yes
Choose scoring events: Yes
RP injuries to my players: Yes. I'll determine severity.
Godmod injuries: No
Godmod "other" events: Nothing beyond stuff like heavy rains, strong winds, nervous players having trouble sleeping and the like. No killing players or blowing up stadia.

Head Coach: Les Steckhall, 41 (ex-Portland Pirates)
After he was denied an opportunity to serve as offensive coordinator by Pirates coach Gil Spencer, former Stars coach Tim Gates's resignation opened the door for Steckhall to become the head coach. He will call the offence.
Quarterbacks Coach: Gavin Davis, 37
Yes, THAT Gavin Davis. He served as quarterbacks coach for the Arena Bowl bronze medalist Stars and will serve as de facto offensive coordinator without the playcalling responsibilities.
Running Backs Coach: Mike Pendry, 56
His Portland Pirates team led the Incorporated Gridball League in rushing, helping make up for an inexperienced quarterback.
Wide Receivers Coach: Mel Brady, 51
He serves in the same position on Woodstock's coaching staff, so he is used to the more wide open offence Gates wants in the nation's capital.
Tight Ends Coach: Marc Johnson, 40
He played on the last Stars team to suit up in a World Bowl. Currently in his first coaching role.
Offensive Line Coach: George Cowley, 40
Also played for the Stars in their previous World Bowl appearance, he has been the offensive line coach for a semipro team for three seasons.
Defensive Coordinator: Kyle Hanley, 51
Hanley plays an aggressive 4-3 defence with frequent blitzes, much like his predecessor Kirk Olivadotti.
Defensive Line Coach: Tyler Paige, 49
The younger brother of former Stars coach Arthur Paige, Tyler works extensively with the line and with edge linebackers.
Linebackers Coach: Jerome London, 45
He was a coach on the field for the Stars as a player and will formally coach the linebacker corps now.
Secondary Coach: Kevin Leonard, 45
Another veteran of the last Stars team who takes on a coaching role.
Special Teams Coordinator: Dylan Massey, 52
Massey has tutored kickers and seems to specialise in turning them into walk off kick experts.

Offence: Run-oriented (-2 modifier)
Defensive style: Base 4-3 with frequent blitzes
Two-point conversion modifier: LOGICAL
Home surface: Grass (Joe Gibbs Stadium, Woodstock - capacity 75,900)

STARTERS
OFFENCE
QB: Sam Rosen (6-foot, 205 pounds (Portland), 28
Steckhall was able to lure his signal caller from the Pirates. He hopes that Rosen's familiarity with his offence will speed up his learning curve.
RB: Ty'Relle Clinton (Portland), 6-foot-2, 215 pounds, 24
He employs a bruising running style, but he can surprise defenders with speed and quickness when he gets out in space.
FB: Les Creighton (New Jeruselem Monks), 6-foot-1, 245 pounds
Creighton's a blocker who will occasionally get the ball in short yardage situations.
WR: Steve Swain (Corcorran Cruisers), 6-foot-3, 205 pounds
He's the guy you want to get the ball in crucial third down conversions.
WR: Matt Largent (Wilmington Roughnecks), 5-foot-11, 185 pounds
He's the speedster in the lineup and he's the deep threat.
TE: Al Langston, 6-foot-5, 265 pounds (Woodstock)
He started as a blocker until Week 7 last season when he caught eight passes for 76 yards and two touchdowns. Now he handles both roles.
LT: Matt Frost, 6-foot-4, 325 pounds (Woodstock), 29 years old
Frost protects Locklear's blind side in Woodstock and is expected to here.
LG: Nate Felton (Corcorran), 6-foot-2, 319 pounds, 31 years old
He was on the last Stars team and will be counted on for veteran presence as much as his blocking.
C: Rodney Tucker (Portland), 6-foot-2, 293 pounds, 33 years old
Tucker makes up for lack of size by technique and experience. He's the de facto captain of the line.
RG: Marty Vance (Nicksia Knights), 6-foot-5, 335 pounds
He was always nicknamed House when he was growing up, even after he was no longer THE biggest player on either team.
RT: Ike Dennehy (Truxtun Commodores), 6-foot-5, 355 pounds
Dennehy is used to protecting the blind side of a lefty quarterback, and he can throw terrifying blocks in the run game.

DEFENCE
DE: Arlen Cunningham (Wilmington), 6-foot-3, 280 pounds
He's a pass rusher through and through. Paige is expected to sub him out for short yardage run situations.
DT: Colin Grassley (Rypien Renegades), 6-foot-3, 320 pounds
He is especially dangerous at stuffing the run game. Has one-half sack for his entire career.
DT: Pete Downey (Somerset Snakes), 6-foot-4, 360 pounds
He's another run-stopper who will be subbed for in pass rush situations.
DE: Clancy Wilson (Woodstock), 6-foot-3, 295 pounds
Another guy who can rush the passer. He can stay in on short yardage situations.
WLB: Artem Roshovski (Portland), 6-foot-2, 265 pounds
Pass rusher. Lives in the weight room. Often plays pass rushing defensive end on third and long.
MLB: Howard Dent (Woodstock), 6-foot-1, 255 pounds
He calls the signals for the defence. He knows how Paige thinks and what he wants.
SLB: Calvin Jacks (Wilmington), 6-foot-3, 270 pounds
Known more as a run-stuffer who can play end in a pinch, he logged a career-high five sacks last season.
CB: Will Donnelly (Portland), 6-foot, 200 pounds
He typically plays the opposing team's best receiver and is known as a shutdown corner.
CB: Quinn Bowles (Woodstock), 5-foot-11, 190 pounds
He's more of a speed guy than even Donnelly is, but isn't a sure tackler.
FS: Cliff Longoria (Corcorran), 6-foot-4, 240 pounds
Think the late Sean Taylor. That's how he plays.
Strong Safety: Zane Yates (Portland), 6-foot-2, 235 pounds
He's another terrifying hitter on a team full of terrifying hitters.

BENCH
OFFENCE
QB: Mike Barnett (Wilmington), 6-foot-3, 210 pounds.
Not the best arm, but he can execute a West Coast offence if necessary.
RB: Paul Edgerton (Woodstock), 5-foot-9, 195 pounds
He's a scatback who can catch passes out of the backfield when called upon.

Coaches
Head coach: Fred smith
Offensive Coordinator: Sean Rodriguez
Defensive Coordinator: Roy Grey
The coaching team likes offense, a lot. They play a very offensive game. Expect the, to throw the ball a lot all the time. They believe a lead is never safe and you should always try to stack up the points. Fred Smit(, recently took the job at the very successful Akers State. As far as the Coordinators go, they are both coaches at the college level, who specialize in their selective categories.

Offensive Formation: Shotgun, Singleback
Offensive style of play: Run and Shoot
Defensive Formation: 4-3, 4-2-5

The Offense

Quarterbacks
Jack Nelson
David Morrison
Jack, the most well known quarterback in Northwest Kalactin, has a big arm and can heave the ball downfield very well. He is considered on of the smartest quarterbacks to ever play the game, and attended Akers State University. David is a much more mobile quarterback, and looks to ran the ball rather than pass.

Running Backs
James Gilbert
Jordan Green
Gane Dobson
Many running backs from the country tend to be ones that can catch the ball also, because of the nations emphasis on passing. Gilbert and Green definitely follow that model of player, being speedy backs that will catch the ball out of the backfield. Dobson however, likes to focus on overpowering his opponents, he is stronger than many defensive players and also attended Akers State.

Wide-outs
Jordan Williams
Devin Reece
Kevin brooks
Andrew Walters
Aaron hepp
Jack Milas
Jordan houge
Robert Rivera
The WR is sometimes considered one of the, if not most important player on the field in Northwest Kalactin. Most of them are speedy red zone threats, that can burn you over the top. Kalactanian WRs try to create big plays on the field, however, they do run many high risk routes that can result in quite a few interceptions.

Tight Ends
Sam Bruner
Dylan curry
Teddy Wilson
Everyone knew that something was special about Sam Bruner from when he was little. He was always the strongest, fastest, biggest and tallest player on the field. He could play almost any position and excel at it. Bruner is a 6-6 tight end that is possibly a top 3 player on this offense. He is a great receiver, blocker and athlete. Most TEs try to help put with the passing attack in Kalactin, but with Bruner, you can do really anything.

Offensive Line:
Tackles
Steven Bell
Drake Miller
Alex Coty
Dustin Cole
Guards
Steve Johnson
Christopher Torres
Grant Williams
Jeremiah Harvey
Center
Malik King
The offensive line has one of the most important jobs in football, in Northwest Kalactin the main job for them is protecting the quarterback. The offensive line of the Kalactanians is a very large one, with their smallest lineman being the 6-2, 300 pound Malik King.]

The Defense
D-Line
Peter Angeh (Edge Rusher)
Robby mills (Edge Rusher)
Blake Lucas (Tackle)
Trey seals (Edge Rusher)
Travis Reynolds (Edge Rusher)
Matt sparks (Tackle)
Gus smith (Tackle)
TJ Taylor (Tackle)
Tony Reid (Edge Rusher)
The D-line for the Kalactanians is considered the most important part of the field on defense. Nothing makes the coaches of the team happier than watching an opposing quarterback get sacked. Blake Lucas is the best defensive lineman in the history of the nation, and is entering his last cycle with the team.

Linebackers
Zack Swartz (Outside/EDGE)
Kaleb Patterson (MLB)
Birson Brown (Outside/DB)
Sam Martin (MLB)
DJ Hunter (Outside/EDGE)
Devon Johnson (MLB)
AJ Tyler (Outside/DB)
Davonte Allen (Outside/DB)
Many of the linebackers here, such as Davonte Allen, can also play at defensive back. Most linebackers from Kalactin are smaller than the ones from other nations, this is mainly because the Kalactanians try to prevent an air attach. The best players from this group are Zack Schwartz and Davonte Allen.

Defensive Back:
Cooper Selby (Free Safety)
Darios Johnson (Strong Safety)
Trey wafford (Nickel Back)
Shane tucker (Strong Safety)
Sean Wick (Dime Back)
Austin Louis (Free Safety)
Zack Rogers (CB)
DJ Harvey (CB)
The defensive backs of Northwest Kalactin are usually small, athletic ones. Cooper Selby, probably the best defensive player on the team, is the main Free Safety for the Kalactanians. Most of the players in this category are built to defend passes by interrupting the receiver, not the pass.

DRAWKLAND NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM (GRID CORPS)

World Bowl XXX Champions
World Bowl XXXV Champions

Name: Grid Corps
Colors: Black with Crimson trim
Denonyms: Drawkian or Drawkish, personal preference
TWELFTH World Bowl, Rank #2
Manager: Sam Willis
Head Coach: Quentin Averfel
Coordinators:
[O] Alex Gerhardt
[D] Mathis Southers
[ST] George Lindholm

The former champions of the World Bowl (XXX and XXXV), the Grid Corps are back at it again and ready to rough up everyone on their way to the playoffs. While the last tournament featured the Corps being a nearly unstoppable juggernaut, they inevitably fell in the final to the Free Republics. They're thirsty for retribution. You can expect Drawkland to once again be a powerhouse in this tournament, and compete for another ring.

ROSTER / DEPTH CHART
Here's the roster containing the names, numbers, and notes for each player. Players are listed in depth chart order.

As far as player rotation goes, generally the starters will go the entire match unless cases of injury or fatigue, obviously. Longtime veteran quarterback Dak Waterman has retired from World Bowl play, so Dustin Beck will be taking the starting job. There are currently no plans to have a two-QB system like there was before. At halfback, Jack Hoy will go for most of the game, except on short 3rd and 4th downs where Antonio Anders will be in. The lesser receivers (below Miller in the depth chart) will shuffle between drives and periods at random, depending on which player want to be in the most. Starting linemen will generally play the whole game. Defensively, the secondary will shuffle after the half on occasion. Some of the front 7 will shuffle as well, but generally Cross, Tomek, and Masters will always be in. Punters generally trade off punts. Watts always kicks field goals and Stig always does kickoffs.

STRATEGY
The name of the game for the Grid Corps is aggression and power.

The offense of the Grid Corps is balanced, splitting up responsibilities for yardage between running and passing plays. None is really favored over the other, since everybody on the team is good, but in crunch time situations, they're likely to pass more than run (although running is still used to keep the defense honest). The base formation is the shotgun, although the I, pistol, and sometimes singleback are still common. Most shotgun plays are run from a single RB set, although having a FB or another RB in the backfield isn't out of the ordinary. The most common personnel is RB-TE-WR-WR-WR, but the Corps is willing to mix any amount of personnel thanks to the depth and skill at their disposal.

Most running plays are either inside the tackles or just outside them. Stretch runs are rare unless the blocking is on point, or the opposing defense can't stop them. Zone running and power running are evenly split. Fullback-led runs are also very common, especially on third down and in the red zone. A very common play is a triple option out of the I formation: it could be a fullback handoff, a halfback pitch, or a quarterback keeper. The Wildcat formation always shows up a couple times a game, especially if the opposing defense is stumped. Passing plays have a lot of elements, not necessarily a vertical offense but not necessarily a conservative one either. Balls-out deep plays are rare, they're no stranger to going deep, but the OC prefers to run posts or double moves than straight fly routes. Deep routes are thrown relatively often to keep the defense honest thanks to the incredible QB and WR talent available. When the game is tight, the Corps is excellent at the hurry-up offense, having a deep playbook to constantly keep the defense off guard.

The defense is also aggressive. Blitzing is very, very common, as the defense is fearless. Even on non-blitz plays, the defensive linemen go all out, and if a player's zone is totally empty, they'll start rushing to the pocket (for better or worse). Man blitzes on first down are a regularity, but you likely won't see more than 3 non-linemen blitzing on a play (unless it's goalline, of course). When an opposing offense is stuck inside the five, the Corps will likely come out with everyone except the defensive backs blitzing. Scoring safeties are the pride of the Grid Corps, and thus they'll go for it as much as possible. They'll also pack the line on the other goalline inside the five, but if a team is 3rd/4th and Goal outside of the 7 or 8, they're likely to just pack the end zone with as many defensive backs as possible. When not in goalline formation, they'll usually opt for a 4-man rush. 4-3 and Nickel defenses are Corps staples, unless the situation calls for a change in strategy (obviously). The Corps runs both man and zone evenly, but prefers Cover 2 man. Usually they'll start with man coverage until the team they're playing shows proficiency in beating man, then they'll switch to zone with man and the trademark blitzes thrown in. Blitzes themselves are commonly done by the linebackers, corner and safety blitzes are highly unlikely as the Defensive Coordinator doesn't like bringing guys out of the secondary. Zone blitzes on crucial third downs have been known to happen. In all, they aren't afraid to take chances in big spots and bring pressure.

Special teams for the Grid Corps is hallmarked by fake plays. Whether it's a misleading kick return (moving all the blockers to the opposite side of the field from where the ball is going), lateral returns even when the game doesn't depend on it, passes or runs from special teams formations, or even simply pretending to fumble the ball to pull rushers out of their lanes, the Corps practices it all. In addition, the defensive special teams is highly aggressive. Rushing on punt returns, super fast kick blocks, or even line hurdling to block kicks. This is made much easier by the physiology of the Corps of course.

The Corps almost exclusively opts for two-points conversions for their first few touchdowns. In a blowout win, they'll likely shift to normal PATs after the half. Don't be surprised to see fake PATs to try and get the 2PC. The playbook is deep and the number of dynamic playmakers means that two point conversion plays are well-rehearsed, hence why they're pretty fearless going for it.

PHYSIOLOGY
I recommend you read this. It contains important information on how Drawkians are different from your average human. In a nutshell, they're over 7 feet tall on average, and have larger proportions to match. Now, they're also lankier and less stocky all-around, but that doesn't mean some like a D-tackle can't get thick and muscular, it's not just not the average build. Now, this may conflict with some of your RPing preferences or make it harder to RP about us, so you're totally free to just ignore that and pretend we're the same as humans. That's totally your call, and I don't mind it either way.

VENUE

For group stage home games, Drawkland will be playing in Metro Arena, the 150,000 seat indoor gridiron stadium in the heart of Metropolon, Drawkland's capital.

World Bowl 39 - Ko-orenite National Team

The Dragonflies entered World Bowl 38 with a title and the #1 spot on the rankings - and promptly did everything to lose that status, not finishing among the best 16(!) and losing in the group stage to Karditan and Newmanistan. At 3-2, Newmanistan and Anthor advanced to the next round. We're not the only ones coming off of a poor Bowl, so that's something.

The coaching committees have been left in the past, moving to a (mostly) dedicated coaching staff with some input from the 12 Top League teams as well as the Salamantic Universities Professors.

Coaching Staff
Stij Batterink (head coach)
Offence: Val Hardman (offensive coordinator), Simon Palmsterk (QB), Yv Garnier (RB), Teonnach yLawdmell (WR), Olivier Olander (OLine)
Defence: Luc Jauffret (defensive coordinator), Stewart Cropp (DLine), Tednawf yGastaff (LB), Listenau Jenurdherinden (DBacks)
Special Teams: Duncan Huckstep (ST coordinator)

Offence
The offence is better than ever, with a bigger focus on throwing the ball. Selection protocols and training has given rise to a much better receiving corps that should be able to compete with the best secondaries in the World Bowl. Expectations are especially high for Junstarin, leader of the new generation of receivers, as well as Whitlock, who is probably the only recognisable receiver from previous Bowls. Reeman will likely get the lion's share of snaps at quarterback, with intermittent play from Parkes when a score is needed fast, and Arerira will play when the clock needs to be killed. The running backs are fine, starting with Thorebourne.

The offensive line is balanced in terms of pass/run protection, capable of plenty of tricks, but can definitely be overpowered by rushers.

All in all, the offence is great in terms of tactics, organisation, and communication, but is not particularly powerful or athletic.

Defence
Welcome to one of the best defences in the Multiverse. The line focuses on stopping the run and unfortunately has little pass rushing capabilities. Blitzes are used frequently, yet unpredictably, and are aimed at putting the linebackers or the secondary in sacking opportunities. The linebackers are great, hard to shake off, and good in coverage. The secondary is where the defence shines, with world-class players at all positions, including depth. Henry and Casey are our best on-ball linebackers, and the off-ball linebackers should share snaps. In the secondary, Mesjathaunden is a turnover machine, Dollen is always in the right place to make a play, and the corners are like glue.

Road to the World Bowl

The Squidroidian Flyers

Episode 1 - For the Mom

Immediately after it was announced that the Squidroidians were heading to their first ever World Bowl, the multiversal championship for gridiron football, head coach Colonel Ebisawa Tanyu was right at work. The madness that was the 96 team Squidroidian Inter-Regiment Football Tournament left the man with a lot of tape to sift to form a competent national team capable of slogging out a 10 game group stage to make his dream come true - The Playoffs. Sitting in an small, empty auditorium, Colonel Tanyu just did what he always do with his Regiment 20 boys - Watch the game tape from the group stage games to the Squidroidian Bowl. This was a tough process for anyone, not just the Colonel. Finding a 53 man squad to represent one nation, one who prefers "Soccer football" over gridiron, was tough. There were 100 players that looked like national team quality, so it was hard to narrow it down to a squad that had enough depth for a 10 game+ season. Nevertheless he would get it done.

After a week of just sloshing through the tapes, examining dozens of capable Squidroidian football players, he finally got it down. Colonel Tanyu knew the team he was going to send for the journey he and his country will make to try to shock the NationStates. Now all he had to do was to submit it to the World Bowl council... Problem was that somebody was waiting for him. It was the Squidroidian Bowl Most Valuable Player himself, Chiziwa Hideyoshi.

"Hey boss, I know the World Bowl is coming up quick and fast... Remember the press conference when this whole deal was announced? Back when I said I wanted to be the starting quarterback?"

"Sir, I remember with all my heart... That's why I put you top of my QB depth chart since we left the room. You have the talent that I haven't seen from a quarterback in a very long time. I hope you're ready to go to on the time of your life towards Delaclava."

"Boss... That's not why I'm here. I'm here because yesterday..." Chiziwa's eyes started to tear. "...M-my mother, my sweet sweet mother... She died. Heart attack while watching the news. I was there, she looked like God was calling her..."

"Look, Mr. Hideyoshi. I've been there before. My mother and father died just 3 days apart, my mom from a serial killer and my dad... From utter grief. They're watching down on me, this wise mind of the beautiful game, hoping to make them proud. I'm doing that well, as they would probably say."

Colonel Tanyu then got out of his seat and hugged his boy, Squidroidia's Captain Fantastic, the supposed quarterback of the national team. "It's alright, I know you're sad from all of this, but we have a World Bowl coming up against the best teams in the sport. Mr. Hideyoshi, you can leave now and mourn over your loss... Or you can fight for your mom and represent Squidroidia for her."

"Boss... That's cool and all, but this hurts me on a more physical level... It's hard to cope with such a loss days before fighting for your country, but football is my life, Colonel... I will make Mom proud and stay with your setup."

"That's my Hideyoshi! Never giving up, never giving in!" Colonel Tanyu would laugh and hug the quarterback harder before patting his back. "So then, I think you want to see the team I thought up of, right?"

"Bring it to the star of the Squidroidian show baby!" Rubbing his fingers to signal how "money" he was from his plays in the tournament. Without hesitation the head coach would bring it up to the quarterback, and he would smile. "I agree with this, it's a good team."

"Then let's fight for Mom and Country!"

RP PERMISSIONS (also, see Style Guide below)
My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my Scorers: Yes
Choose Scoring Events: Yes
Godmod Scoring Events: Within reason, unless Rule of Cool/Funny applies.
RP Injuries to my Players: Yes, though ask first for anything more serious than a game-ender.
Godmod Injuries to my Players: Within reason, unless Rule of Cool/Funny applies.
Godmod Other Events: Within reason, unless Rule of Cool/Funny applies.

RP STYLE GUIDE
Krytenia play a pass-based game, with little to no rushing offence. This is a cultural thing, and as such the defence will also be better against a passing game than a rushing one. Blitzes are common, as are long passes and the shotgun in the offence. Krytenian fans are patriotic, if largely uninformed about the game.

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.

If you're looking for a RL analogue to their style of play, the closest current NFL analogue to their style of play would be the Ravens though the FFR was running this system before they started running something similar. The offensive scheme was a popular college offense in RL in the 80s (and is mainly used by the military schools in RL these days) and the defensive scheme was used in RL by the 85 Bears (i.e. its the Buddy Ryan version, not the Rex Ryan version that the Ravens have been running for the last 15 years).

Style Modifier: +1
Colors: Red, Orange, White
Way o' play: A more passing oriented game, patiently waiting for a chance to thrust. Latest coach Nickel Holoway inserted a new trick, with never-ending runs down the wings sometimes used to take advantage of the opposing team defending the centre too much due to the passing. The defence is very patient, but the famous "Nickel Push" Sees almost the whole defence screaming around a small perimeter around the player holding the ball, and often close in and lunge with vicious ferocity. The fans are very patriotic but there are less of them than other nations, as American football isn't a popular sport in The Jovannic.

The Nordic Football Association has announced the roster for the upcoming World Bowl. Leif Beck is back as coach as he did well in his debut. He has made some changes to the coaching staff however,bringing in a new WR and RB coach. This is a sign that he may intend to run the ball more as these coaches come from run oriented teams in the Nordic Football League. The offense is still pass heavy although we do run more than we have in the past. The defense is very aggressive as it normally is. There are rumors that this could be Herman Lang's and Catrine Abel's last World Bowl although they have not said anything about retiring.

They use a lot of trips calls and when not running the air raid he runs many plays out of 12 personnel. He calls all the plays for the offense and only has help from his offensive coordinator. Sparks is also a very aggressive coach, so expect him to be going for it a lot on fourth down and dialing up deep passes.

Offensive Coordinator: Mitchell Berger, 49 years old
As stated previously Sparks has most of the control over the offense. Berger is a former player, he played tight end in high school and played semi professionally as there's no professional league in Kohnhead. He helps Sparks in calling the plays but doesn't have control over the offensive play calling. He is known to be a little less aggressive than Sparks and would not normally go for it on 4th down even if the analytics say it should be done.

Defensive Coordinator: Leah Mooreville, 75 years old
Mooreville calls the shots for the defense, and she has been around the game for a long time. Sparks trusts her very much a lot more than Berger which is why she's allowed to call the plays. Now the defense always plays second fiddle to the offense, and allows a lot of points but Sparks trusts Mooreville. The defense runs a 3-4 base, but also a lot of nickel with five defensive backs on the field and has the edge rushers rotate to become D-lineman. Mooreville loves dialing up complicated blitzes and she trusts her players to do that. This will sometimes get them in trouble, sometimes it will produce a sack.

Special Teams Coordinator: Tim Murphy, 49 years old
Murphy is the special teams coordinator, and kicking has always been a strength for the team. Special teams coverage is sometimes lacking but Murphy has improved the coverage immensely. The team is also good at returns and returners will constantly get up to the 30 yard line on kickoff returns.

QBs Coach: Lindsey Walters, 36 years old
RBs Coach: Bart Jurytion, 45 years old
WRs Coach: Martha McTurner, 48 years old
TEs Coach: Marie Arthur, 62 years old
OL Coach: Jordan Detter, 54 years old

DL Coach: Margaret Harris, 58 years old
LB Coach: Thomas Harrington, 38 years old
DB Coach: Michael Reeds, 41 years old

Now let's meet the team
Offensive Starters

(C) QB: #11 Jackson Watford, 25 years old
Watford is a strong armed quarterback who has the speed required to scramble and evade sacks. He is very good at extending the plays and his strong arm is perfect for the scheme Sparks runs. His weaknesses are a tendency to scramble way too early leaving his receivers limited time to get open and while he has the arm his accuracy is something to be desired. Now Sparks, Berger, and Walters have all been working on his accuracy and have made tremendous strides. He also has a high football IQ but his decision making is questioned a lot. Accuracy problems leads to a lot of interceptions and he also fumbles a lot leading to many calling him turnover friendly. His athleticism and arm strength make him perfect for the scheme and he has tremendous upside.

RB: #25 Georgette Butler, 29 years old
Butler is a serviceable back and she has great speed running a 4.4 40 yard dash. Butler is a good weapon out of the backfield for Waterford and as Sparks' offense is mainly a passing one she does not get too many touches. She is a three down back despite not getting many touches and they don't really rotate by committee. Butler can make the first person miss but like Watford she has a fumbling issue. Despite her speed and her ability to run routes well dropping passes is also something she likes to do. On obvious passing downs like third and ling she may come off the field so they can get more blockers out there.

WR: #17 Marco Polisson, 20 years old
Polisson is very new to this team but has quickly proven he can be The Brains number one wide receiver. Polisson has the physical tools you look for in a WR 1 as he has an ability to go and get jump balls but also has a lot of speed and great RAC ability. Watford and Polisson look to have a connection early, and he quickly became Watford's favorite target. Polisson has a massive ego and wants the ball, something that they will have to work on. He's young and can be the premier receiver on the team for a long time.

WR: #10 Kenneth Bradson, 32 years old
Bradson despite being 32 is the burner on the team with 4.3 speed and claims he can be in the 4.2 range if he wanted. Bradson is the Z receiver to Polisson's X and is the premier deep threat on the team who can take the top off defenses. Bradson's main weapon is his speed and elusiveness but he has trouble tracking the ball, catching it, and running complex routes. He serves one purpose and that is at any time he can go to the house, whenever the ball is in his hands. His speed and wanting to go deep pair perfectly with the arm of Watford and expect quite a few long plays for Bradson.

WR: #13 Maggie Brown, 27 years old
Brown operates out of the slot and has good route running abilities. For a third receiver and one who runs out of the slot you could do a lot worse but you could also do better. When the offense shifts to 12 personnel she has to leave the field so despite being a starter she doesn't play quite as much as the other two. While she has good speed high 4.4, she is not as explosive and doesn't possess the big play ability that makes Bradson such a special player. Like all of the weapons for Watford she possesses good speed and she happens to be very precise at route running and normally does not have drop struggles.

TE: #86 Billy James, 30 years old
James is not your average tight end, as he is just another great weapon for this high powered offense. His blocking skills are eh especially for a tight end which is why they run 12 personnel a lot. He has great speed for a tight end and can make a lot of contested catches and says he never drops the ball. James is also amazing in the red zone and is probably Watford's favorite target when they make it there. James is a modern tight end who doesn't really block but is used as just another weapon for Watford.

(C) LT: #71 Molly Worthing, 36 years old
The blindside protector of Watford, Worthing is set to retire after this World Bowl as it will be the first Kohnhead is competing in. She is a mauler who has unmatched strength and surprisingly good athletiscism for someone 36 who has been playing the sport all their life. She will not be beaten by pure strength but can be beaten with good finesse moves and sometimes just plain speed off the edge. She is also a great leader on the O-Line and thus is the second captain of the offense. Worthing has already announced she will be retiring after this World Bowl.

LG: #73 Mildred Plumbing, 24 years old
Plumbing has been known as someone who was good at run blocking but struggled when it came to pass protection. She used to be a tackle but due to her size and struggles in pass protection she was moved inside where she has done a lot better and sort of hidden her weakness. Jordan Detter and Worthing have worked tirelessly to make her into a very good guard and I expect her to take the next step forward especially when Plumbing retires.

C: #62 Jonathon Jodan, 22 years old
Jodan is undersized for a center yet he has enough strength to hold his own in pass protection and is pretty good in run blocking. Jodan's biggest strength is his knowledge of the game and he is able to read what the defense is doing pre-snap and communicate it with Watford and Jodan sometimes will change the play. Watford and Jodan have been working on this and Jodan spends a lot of time in the film room. Now he has put on some weight in an effort to become bigger but he will always be undersized.

RG: #79 Micheal Carter, 27 years old
Carter is the weak spot on the O-Line as he struggles in both pass protection and run blocking, has poor speed and athletiscsim, a low football IQ, poor technique, but the one bright spot is his size and strength. Unfortunately size and strength can only get you so far and he is known to give up pressures way too easily. He needs to be replaced sooner rather than later but as of right now there is no one capable enough to replace him.

RT: #65 Bethany Crooks, 21 years old
Crooks most recently played in college and was the best right tackle in all of college football in Kohnhead. The situation at right tackle is not the best so she is the starter. Crooks will probably develop into one of the best players on the team due to her upside, technique, and more. She is still unproven but the plan is for her to kick over to the left side which is Watford's weak side once Worthing retires.

Defensive Starters

RE: #96 Brittany Yater, 25 years old
Yater is the best player on the defensive line which is not saying much. The pressure generated mainly comes from the edge rushers and Yater struggles to win one on ones. That being said she is still pretty young and with good coaching can grow. She has the physical tools necessary, and her heart is in the right place it's just her technique is absolutely abysmal. If this defense wants to play better they need more production from her.

DT: #91 Ellenor Firth, 28 years old
Firth is the biggest question mark of anyone on the team. She has some talent but the past few years has been injured and not very productive when playing. There is competition for this nose tackle position as Firth is mainly a run stuffer. The coaching staff trusts her and seems to like her as a starter although I'm doubtful that she can produce on a defense that is sure to have lots of struggles.

(C) LE: #55 Avery Reese, 34 years old
Reese is known as a legend on the team but he has lost a lot of the speed and athleticism that once made him a dominant pass rusher. He is still a great veteran presence to have in the locker room and will help mentor all of the younger d-linemen. Reese still posses some of the skills he once had and can show flashes. Reese is part of a rotation at end and he should normally play 60% of the snaps in a game.

Right EDGE: #90 Levi Espinosa, 26 years old
Espinosa is the best pass rusher on the team. He also will sometimes (rarely) drop back into coverage, although he is not the best at doing that. Espinosa is a power rusher with great technique and a variety of power and finesse moves in his arsenal that he uses to get around offensive lineman. Espinosa is by far the best player on the defense and he anchors the pass rush, and run defense. He is just 26 and will be reaching the prime of his career very soon.

Left EDGE: #95 Rayyan Spears, 31 years old
On the opposite side of Espinosa sits Spears. Spears is lucky because all of the attention is on Espinosa so she can really thrive on the left side rushing the passer. She also drops off into coverage more frequently than Espinosa and is better at it although not by much. Spears is a good second edge rusher to have, but I doubt she could step up into that premier rusher role if Espinosa goes down.

(C) MLB: #53 Phillip Haney, 20 years old
Haney is the young signal caller for the defense. He has very high potential and is already quite good. He is good at tackling and is very good in coverage although his speed at 4.6 is slower than what you want for the position. Haney is expected to step up as a leader in future years, and already is one. Although he is not one of two defensive captains, he get's the captain's patch because he's the captain on special teams with regular contributions on coverage.

MLB #58 Lyla Barrera, 23 years old
Barrera is the second interior line backer on the team, and is also quite young at just 23 years of age. Barrera is known to be a better tackler than Haney, is faster, yet she lacks the great coverage skills that make Haney such a good player. Barrera is still a very good player and will only get better with time as young as she is.

CB #24 Percy Whitehead, 29 years old
Whitehead is a big play machine and is the number one corner on the team. Whitehead is very aggressive as a corner back and will often get beat on simple double moves because of his ball hawk tendencies, but on the bright side he often comes up with key interceptions when you need it most. I would rather have a better number one corner but Whitehead is the guy you can count on to come up with a key interception if he's not getting roasted 10 yards behind his person because of a double move. Whitehead is also a good tackler which is important in stopping short passes from turning into big gains. Whitehead will shadow opposing teams best receivers all over the field because the defense plays man defense most of the time.

CB #29 Ariel Knox, 31 years old
Knox is the number two corner on the team will end up on the number two receiver on the opposing team. Knox is a stiff, tall corner who has pretty below average speed and often gets beat on go routes due to her lack of speed. She almost will never get beat on jump balls though using her body to her advantage. Knox like Whitehead has her strengths but neither are the corners who you trust to neutralize opposing team's number one.

FS #23 Shane Holman, 25 years old
Holman is the deep center field safety who tries to limit the opposing team's big plays, and he's pretty good at it too. This allows Whitehead to play more aggressive as he knows Holman will usually be able to back him up if he gets roasted. Holman is a top three player on the defense and he knows it as he plays with poise and confidence.

(C) SS #27 Chris Molina, 33 years old
Molina is the guy you want on your team no matter what. Molina will play ever defensive snap of every game, and can play anywhere on the field. He can line up at linebacker, slot corner, outside corner, d-lineman, safety, wherever you need him to be. Molina is a great leader on and off the field and someone teammates look up to. Despite being 33 and with some skills diminishing he's still an invaluable member of the team. I cannot say enough good things about him and neither can his teammates.

Team Cassadaigua- World Bowl 39

The nation is a two-time World Bowl champion, winning the 8th and 22nd editions. In their heyday, the team strength has always been the play of the secondary. They’ll get enough offense, but the defensive backs are outstanding, making us difficult to pass against. We might concede yardage on the ground, but its much more difficult to get it in the air.

Another thing to note is that while Cassadagan teams in other sports are notoriously all-female, the football team has always been mixed gender with men placed on the line of scrimmage.

All Players are male
Feel free to hate on my punter and kicker when RPing, Ranorian punters and kickers are generally poor, but don’t injur them.

Captains:
Offense:
Johnny Farmer, TE
Derek McNair, QB

Defense:
Kevin Gerhart, DT
Emmanuel Miller, DE

Offensive Style: Ranoria's offense changes with the personnel they aquire, as it is difficult for the team to consistently find Ranorian players willing to play for them, but generally you're going to see a lot of tight formations with at least one tight end. Very few play action passes, as Ranoria's pros have yet to catch up to the collegiate game on all but a few teams, and a high ratio of runs. Quarterbacks, when athletic (which McNair certainly is), are encouraged to run the football.

Defensive Style: Expect a lot of linebackers who are more about hitting than they are coverage. Exploiting this defense with loads of quick slants, curls, and seams is doable, but remind your pass catchers to wear their flak jackets. Every player on this defense grew up playing high school ball where hitting power was valued above awareness. While Ranoria's pros generally go with man coverage, they are forced to run zones because of generally more advanced passing attacks in other countries, and as such they aren't used to running the defense that they do. However, expect a very strong, stout run defense and a bunch of burly, 280 b+ defensive linemen with a love for power style pass rushing.

Style Modifier: +5

Team Nickname: Serpent Eagles
Notable World Bowl Finishes: 4th place in World Bowl XXIX, World Bowl XXX, and World Bowl XXXI. Third Place in World Bowl XXXVII.

Official Depth Chart for World Bowl XXXIX

The rosters is drawn both from the Banijan Girdiron Football League and our NSCF teams.

Starters are underlined. Players who are receiving their first national team call-up are italicized. Listed in the order of the depth chart.

Head Coach: Alastair Jobs. 73 years old. The head coach at the University of Loyola-Istria for 20 seasons, until hired to the national team by Ezekiel Daniachew. Daniachew himself coached Banija in 4 World Bowls, World Bowls 28-31, and went to the semifinals in World Bowl 29, World Bowl 30, and World Bowl 31, with the team getting fourth place at all three World Bowls. The legend was made head of the gridiron division of the Olympic Committee of Banija, and hired Alastair Jobs to coach the national team. He coached Loyola-Istria to the NSCF 14 and NSCF 17 championships. This is his fifth cycle at the helm. While his first World Bowl, World Bowl XXXV, was weak, he got a bronze medal at World Bowl XXXVI, and then went to the quarterfinals in World Bowl XXXVII. After a disastrous World Bowl XXXVIII campaign, there was pressure on him, although the college football coaching legend kept his job. He has since announced that the Olympics would be his last ride, which would make World Bowl XXXIX his last World Bowl.

Offensive Coordinator & Assistant Head Coach: Jeremiah Johnson, 67 years old. HE is a great offensive coordinator for Alastair Jobs, who is looking to run a pass happy spread offense system. A firm believer in the system, the team almost rarely lines up under center- somewhere between 80 and 85% of their snaps are taken from either the pistol or shotgun formation. While he's added some run-option and RPO concepts to the offense, especially out of the pistol, the core of this offense remains the same- spread em out and attack the defense.

Other notable Offensive Staff: Former NSCF 14 and NSCF 17 champion, Loyola alum running back Justice Greenspan is the running backs coach. he is 40 years old.

Defensive Coordinator: Techomir Sendula. 52 years old. Played outside linebacker during his career. NSCF 12 starter for Northern Moravica; Starter for World Bowls 29-31 and 34; second string linebacker for World Bowl 35. He was brought onside by Alastair Jobs for the position after firing his World Bowl XXXV defensive coordinator. While this is his first ever coaching job, his depth of playing experience is seen as a major asset for this team, and while there are expected to be growing pains on the defensive side of the ball, he is certainly expected to improve throughout the tournament. This is his 4th cycle as defensive coordinator for the national team.

Other notable defensive staff: Former NSCF 14 champion and World Bowl XXXVI defensive captain David Franklin is the linebackers coach. He is 44 years old.

Special Teams Coordinator/Strength & Conditioning Coach: Iyoas Motuma. 43 years old.

Stadium of the Restoration
Image
Location: Busukuma, National Capitol Region, Banija. Capacity: 91,835

The Stadium of the Restoration is the country's national stadium, used primarily for both gridiron and association football. A number of major events have been held here, including two World Bowl Finals, a Baptism of Fire Final, a Cup of Harmony Final, and the opening matches of two World Cups, as well as two World Cup semifinals. Furthermore, it has hosted multiple NSCF bowl games, as well as the NSCF Championship game. It is the regular home stadium for both national football teams, gridiron and association. The stadium, rebuilt shortly before World Cup 81, which Banija co-hosted alongside the Free Republics, has a turf gridiron field that lies underneath the grass soccer field.

Considering the national team hasn't played here since World Bowl XXXVII, rather than spreading out the games, all five of Banija's home games this cycle will be played at the Stadium of the Restoration.

The United Republic of Delaclava presents...
World Bowl XXXIX

Live from the Grand Ballroom at the Swinton Three Rivers Resort, for those representatives in attendance and all who are watching from around the world. This is... the World Bowl 39 group draw!

Representatives from the Delaclava Gridiron Association, as well as Phoenixes captains - quarterback Brian Mathis, right tackle Colton Voigt, linebacker Seth Ružička, and free safety Obdulo Farukhan - are on hand to draw team names from each pot and place them into eight groups of six teams. And here's what we've got:

(OOC process: Order of each pot was randomised to assign teams to Groups A-H. The Pot 5+6 was first randomised to split it into two pots and again to assign those pots to each group. The order of each group was then randomised for the final assignments. As the host, Delaclava was automatically drawn from the unranked pot into Group A, and then placed as the first listed team in Group A.)

Group A
Delaclava (UR)
Equestrian States (45)
Transmondian Commonwealth of New England (16)
Drunk People at the Local Tavern (UR)
Drawkland (2)
Royal Kingdom of Quebec (32)

Group B
Jeckland (UR)
Xanneria (14)
Silver Beach (UR)
Lisander (30)
Taeshan (7)
Saint Kanye (33)

Group C
Main Nation Ministry (4)
Krytenia (76)
Squidroidia (UR)
Martune (UR)
Geektopia (15)
Velstrania (22)

Group D
The Jovannic (UR)
TJUN-ia (33)
Ko-oren (6)
The Sarian (49)
Cassadaigua (11)
Nagore (UR)

Group E
HUElavia (49)
Terre Septentrionale (21)
Alba and Cymru (UR)
Vangaziland (9)
Western Fardelshufflestein (UR)
Banija (19)

Group F
Lovisa (UR)
Damukuni (UR)
Inner AginanaUsordia (24)
Bongo Johnson (55)
Ranoria (3)
Newmanistan (10)

Group G
Torisakia (23)
Northwest Kalactin (55)
Kohnhead (UR)
Free Republics (1)
The Greater Nordics (18)
Sarzonia (UR)

Group H
Allamunnic States (8)
Mathuvan Union (UR)
South Covello (44)
Karditan (33)
Abanhfleft (17)
United Civil Republic (UR)

As previously published, the group stage schedule is as follows:

Monday 6/29 — Gameday 1: 1v6, 2v5, 3v4
Tuesday 6/30 — Gameday 2: 6v4, 5v3, 1v2
Wednesday 7/1 — Gameday 3: 2v6, 3v1, 4v5
Thursday 7/2 — Gameday 4: 6v5, 1v4, 2v3
Friday 7/3 — Gameday 5: 3v6, 4v2, 5v1
Saturday 7/4 - OFF
Sunday 7/5 — Gameday 6: 6v1, 5v2, 4v3
Monday 7/6 — Gameday 7: 4v6, 3v5, 2v1
Tuesday 7/7 — Gameday 8: 6v2, 1v3, 5v4
Wednesday 7/8 — Gameday 9: 5v6, 4v1, 3v2
Thursday 7/9 — Gameday 10: 6v3, 2v4, 1v5

The numbers correspond to the order in which each team is listed in their group. For example, on Gameday 1 in Group A, Delaclava will host Royal Kingdom of Quebec, Equestrian States will host Drawkland, and Transmondian Commonwealth of New England will host Drunk People at the Local Tavern (wow, that's a lot of words!).

Group standings will be sorted by Wins, H2H, H2H differential, overall differential, then RP bonus. (If a particular tiebreaker resolves a tie of three or more teams, but two or more teams remain tied, the tiebreakers will restart to resolve the new tie.) The top two teams from each group will advance. By that time, more IC information will be published as the top 16 teams convene in Delaclava to battle it out for the championship.

You have a little more than 72 hours to provide your roster and make your first RP post, to give yourself the best chance at starting the tournament strong. Best of luck to all the competitors!
