Roster Considerations:
Listed participants may begin posting rosters and RPs following a reserved post for host venue information to be announced. Please do not reserve posts for rosters. All participants are strongly advised to post a roster, and reminded that failure to do so will result in a penalty of half of the rosterless nation's rank points.
In your roster, if desired please include a style modifier between -5 and +5. This will describe your team's style of play with +5 representing all-out attack and -5 representing all out defense. Also please include a section on RP permissions similar to the following template.
My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my Scorers: Y/N
Choose Scoring Events: Y/N
Godmod Scoring Events: Y/N
RP Injuries to my Players: Y/N
Godmod Injuries to my Players: Y/N
Assign Penalties to my Players: Y/N
Eject my Players: Y/N
Godmod Other Events: Y/N
Good luck to all!
