The RP cutoff will occur between 9pm and 11pm BST on the days mentioned above. This schedule is subject to change: if any changes are necessary, participants will be informed in both the sign-up/OOC thread and Esportiva's Discord server. The group draw will occur live in the #live channel of the NS Sports Discord server at 10pm BST on Tuesday.
When submitting your roster, please include a style modifier between -5 and +5 from most defensive to most attacking, along with a set of RP permissions to guide your opponents' RPs. Please read and respect the RP permissions of other nations. An example set is below, but you are welcome to customise to your liking.
- Code: Select all
[b]My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:[/b]
Choose my goalscorers: Yes/No
Godmod scoring events: Yes/No
RP injuries to my players: Yes/No
Godmod injuries to my players: Yes/No
Hand out yellow cards to my players: Yes/No
Hand out red cards to my players: Yes/No
Godmod other events: Yes/No
In addition to the RP permissions of individual nations, no pandemics may be introduced to the host nation.
The group stage will consist of a single round robin format, made up of 9 groups of four. Tiebreakers in the group stage will be goal difference, head to head record, head to head goal difference, then an IC coin flip (OOC scorinated match). The nine group winners will automatically qualify for the Round of 16, with all second placed teams and the five best third placed teams qualifying for the Playoff Round, where the winners will qualify for the Round of 16. After this, the tournament will continue in a single-elimination knockout style until the final at the LTI Stadium in Montfort.
There will be small snippets of RP accompanying each cut-off for inspiration: these will focus largely around the region of Esportiva and the theme of unity. There will also be a team of the tournament based on RP from competing nations, selected by myself. If you wish to work out particular lines of RP that you believe would require my permission, please get in touch on Discord or by TG.
