General Sports Roleplaying Questions (OOC)

[Graintfjall]

Is there a handball IBA Champions League in NSSport ?

IBA: no idea. You'd have to ask the IBA themselves as they seem determined to carve their own little clique.

Handball Champions League in general: there used to be but it hasn't been run for many years.

wait when your giving a domestic like only look at whats happening in my nation and no other nation's are the RP are you still required to use a scorinator?

You can do whatever you want in your own thread. If, however, you are intending to submit to an international domestic club tournament (like the IFCF competitions in the International Domestic Soccer NewsWires), you must be able to demonstrate that the qualified teams won are there due to sporting merit - which means showing results / ladders / etc. These are done more easily on a scorinator.

I don't have the computer-wrangling skills [or a computer of my own onto which to download programmes] for scorinators, and didn't feel like rolling dice, so I considered giving each club in my own nation's football league a sort-of-counterpart in the RL English leagues -- in the relevant divisions -- and then using their results.... or, at least, their relative positions (although probably with a higher frequency of goals scored, in both directions): Acceptable?

well I had some idea of which teams are better. Also my country has way-more teams then england as having the population of china means more citys. citys have their own teams. We have like 600 teams. Teams from large citys will do better because those citys can spend more on training, cheer-leading and have more fans etc. So probs: 1.central Zaricoa 2.Salt sea city coast 3.Bolskava. for top 3. I may go to my friend and use his computer for a scorinator.

I can assume I didn't see that.

For the record:
There is no official standard that the league needs to be scorinated with NSFS, xkoronate, or whatever scorinator there is out there. It is perfectly okay to have a league in football simulator or something else. As long as we see evidence of sporting merit, and can't point out any clear resemblance from something in RLstates, like similar team names (the most common one), you are probably safe.

EDIT: Oh, if that isn't clear enough, I will just add this: It is perfectly fine to make up a table on the go. Let us just say that the table of your league is made up from nothingness...

Well i had some idea that larger citys would have better teams due to more funding. What do you think about that idea of basing teams off of city budget/wealth/population?

The above response wasn't directed at you but at Bears Armed's original question.

As for your question: go wild! You can do whatever you want. I think that basing teams in large/wealthy cities is what most of us do (and which is often the real life system for obvious reasons). You could have multiple teams in one city. You can have all of your teams operating from the same city! You can have a league with over a hundred teams, you can have a league with just 8 or 10! You can create a league where teams are reassembled every weekend! Let your fantasy and your world(building) run free!

I have a question:
How do I sponsor, IC, sporting events with my GE&T businesses? Do I have to just hope for a sporting event that allows for sponsors or should I reach out to the creators of events in the hopes of getting my company to sponsor the event?

The latter would probably be your best bet.

MatchCorp seems to be what an attempt at you're looking for. It fell into disuse and was rebooted earlier this year, so you might give it a whirl.

One of the things about sponsorships (which sadly we've gotten away from in NSWC) is like in RL, it's sometimes about connections. I offered one of my companies as a sponsor for the Melayu Archipelago for their regional soccer championship because I have sporting relationships with several countries who are members.
Do a bit of reading on some of the stuff going on, and like a real marketing director, think about what would be a good fit for your brand. There's NSSCRA, and a few nations/regions have their own feeder series.
Plus a bunch of other things going on.

We have several scorinators for that express purpose; xkorinate has a great deal of sports that you can simulate, while NSFS is mainly for football.

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=55249 is the scorinators discussion thread
viewtopic.php?p=7631203#p7631203 for a basic guide on how to use xkoranate

In general they're fairly idiotproof with a gentle learning curve; it really is quite plug and play.

If you're talking about hosting, then you might want to join a few tournaments on our NSS forum to gain more experience. It's generally not recommended that you jump straight into hosting, because that requires stuff like properly grading and giving out RP bonuses, which really comes with more experience on the forum.

How do I get my nation into sports?

[Tumbra]

How do I get my nation into sports?

We have several tournaments that go on throughout the year; you'll want to sign up for sports you're interested in in the requisite signup thread. Domestic sports is also a neat way to get your country into sports, typically through a thread and scorinating, then roleplaying, goings-on in the sports league(s) of your nation. Feel free to glance at the "How Do I Get Involved?" bit in the Guide to Sports Roleplaying.

Now that I have enough population to set a capital, I'm going to develop some lore and make a map with more cities, with which I want to set up a football league within the nation contested by domestic teams. Would I be allowed to start a new thread for updates on matches within the league?

If I understand you correctly, what you want to do is set up a thread for your domestic sports news? That is absolutely allowed, and many of us do that. They are generally called domestic newswires around here. You can be as detailed as you want.
