NS World Cup of Masters (35+ football) Discussion Thread

Postby Sarzonia » Tue Aug 18, 2020 1:32 pm

Following an auspicious return of the Mike Sarzo Memorial Trophy as hosted by Sarzonia, the Incorporated Football Federation now proposes a new competition for players over 35 years old*.

This competition will initially be hosted by and played within the confines of Sarzonia and Sarzonian held territory and is available to any team that chooses to send a team to the competition.

For RP purposes, five substitutes plus a goalkeeper substitution will be allowed instead of three plus a keeper. Also, the Vilitan mobile scorinator will be used for this tournament. There may be the potential for a ranking system that would be used if there is enough interest.

The format will depend on the number of signups, but the idea is to have a double round robin to create additional RP opportunities. Since this specific competition is new, RP will play a huge role in the competition.

Tiebreakers will go as follows:

1. H2H points
2. H2H goal differential
3. Overall goal differential
4. Total goals scored for
5. IC: coin flip (OOC: RP bonus)

*35 is the age being used for this tournament, as it will be modeled after the RL World Cup of Masters in terms of age requirements. NS being what it is, I'll allow teams to use an age that is equivalent in how they mark time.

SIGNUPS (20)
1. Sarzonia
2. Northwest Kalactin
3. Kohnhead
4. Darmen
5. HUElavia
6. Megistos
7. Libonesia
8. Indusse
9. Sylestone
10. APOC Coalition
11. Ziwana
12. The Fortem
13. The Jovannic
14. New Waldensia
15. Kriegiersien
16. Lochario
17. Royal Kingdom of Quebec
18. Sarzoclava (puppet of Sarzonia)
19. Terre Septentrionale
20. South Osan

The APOC Coalition will assemble and send forth a team of over-35 players. Maybe the first generation of APOC-based players to play in NS will give me some more success than the more recent batches this time.
The APOC Coalition: a loose politico-economic union between
Abanhfleft, Pridnestrovia, Oontaz Dert Li Ng and Copper Cuprum,
although it's only ever useful for international rugby and now ice hockey.

Organizers of the Rugby Coalition, the Coalition Rugby League, and the Koalition Hockey League

Signups updated through New Waldensia. We're currently at 14.

My initial goal was 16, but I'm willing to go above that with a number that works logistically.

Signing up as a possible numbers puppet. Will withdraw if we get to a workable number without it.

We're at 19. If we get one more sign up, we can go with 20. If we get two more, I'll withdraw Sarzoclava so we stay at 20.
