Posting your roster after MD1 but before the halfway mark will see your KPBs reduced in half until posting. Posting your roster after the halfway mark but before the end of qualifiers will see no KPBs used until your roster is posted.

If these don't trip the realism factor I fail to see why we must regulate style mods.

Saint Eleanor wrote:The last World Cup bid involving the player behind Valanora was Valanora/Chromatika, for WC87. It was said at the time that "While we believe the idea behind a rosterless penalty has merit, we currently do not think there is a fair way to implement the idea." In what regards do the current hosts believe that their roster penalty formula is fair (considering that the WC91 formula had a flat 50% reduction in KPB that did not ramp up after the halfway stage)?

Independent Athletes from Quebec wrote:What's the rough timeframe this bidding pair plans to run the WCQ? I remember ESF mentioning a rough start day several weeks back, but with the IFCF deadline happening much later than the tentative deadline, and ESF being involved within the IFCF Council, it'd be great to know this in advance.
Independent Athletes from Quebec wrote:Also, how much does small carryover constitute for those who qualify? With the recent tournaments of footballing kind (U18WC and BoF) specifying rough threshold of roster/RP bonus and scale, it'd be great to at least have a loose sense of how much it'd constitute.

As is the fairly standard practice, if Pasarga were to qualify for the Finals, they will be drawn into Valanora. There is currently no plans to use a third party for the qualifiers due to schedule and logistical reasons.

In pretty much all tournaments I have been part of or have followed, it has been the standard practice that a third party would be used for games of the own nation or puppet. Obviously I am not privy to Squorn's schedule, but one would believe that either Squorn or someone else (potentially someone who is not participating in the WCQ, in case any potential insight into RP bonus would be part of the reasoning) would be available and willing to scorinate such an occurrence.

How exactly do extreme modifiers affect results in NSFS, and where was the evidence for this collected?

Emphasis mine. I don't think this is good enough. Over the last seven years, I can't find any evidence of a reasonably long-term nation having any of its scores generated by its user, at least not since you ran qualifying in World Cup 72. 'Long-term nation' is a subjective term, so I'll just list all of them from the last seven years:
Le Choix in WC88 (4-2-3 record scorinated by Chromatika)
Busoga Islands in WC83 (4-1-1 record scorinated by Banija)
Nuevo Caracas in WC77 (3-3-3 record scorinated by Queb)
Norrehavn in WC73 (1-2-3 record scorinated by Queb)
I don't think any of these nations had entered more than one previous World Cup.
Vil neatly avoided scorinating any of his teams' games in WC90 and WC91, the former through splitting groups with his co-host and the latter through utilising the Vilitan plan. Tik did the same to avoid scorinating any of Pyazhnaya's games in WC89. You yourself used the Vilitan plan to avoid scorinating any of Pasarga's games in WC82. I strongly believe that you (and anyone else with a long term puppet, such as Vil or Neph) should make *every* effort to avoid generating scores for one of their two nations in a tournament as important as World Cup Qualifying.
The rest of the bid is fine, but I'm strongly opposed to it unless this gets changed.
For what its worth, having a max of +3 / -3 for style modifiers is fine for me regardless of the reasons given.
