Welcome to the Roster Thread for World Cup 102!
This is the thread where participants of World Cup 102 should post their team rosters! Your roster may be as simple or as detailed as you'd like, though note that higher-quality rosters will receive a larger bonus. Please regard these items regarding rosters, whether this is your first time or sixty-seventh time hunting for the ultimate prize:
- Please do not "reserve" or "tag" post in this thread. These will be treated as spam. Use the draft function on the forums or an outside text editor if you need multiple sessions to complete your roster. If you reserve a post and try to edit it later, the hosts may miss your roster, causing you to lose out on rightfully-earned bonus.
- This World Cup will institute a no-roster penalty. Any ranked nations which have not posted their roster by the first matchday will be penalized with a reduction in rank, specifically a 25% loss in starting value per cutoff while the roster remains unposted (culminating in full loss of rank by the fourth cutoff). Any penalized nations will have the penalty removed immediately once their roster is posted!
- As with the rest of World Cup 102, please do not use generative AI to create your roster. Using AI for name generation, formatting assistance, or flavor images are acceptable edge cases, but any usage to this end MUST be declared. Additional roster content (such as wholesale player info generation, team details, or any other substantial usage) is expressly forbidden and will result in complete loss of bonus. Don't do it.
- If you wish, please include a style mod prominently displayed in your roster (-5 to +5). For those unaware, a "style modifier" is used to describe a team's offensive or defensive tendency. If your team plays more aggressive/offensive, they should have a positive style mod, and vice versa for conservative/defensive (with 0 as a perfectly balanced team). The larger the number, the more extreme the playstyle. When provided in a roster, these values (up to 3 decimal places) are used in scorination. This can cause your team's matches to feature higher or lower total goals scored (it will NOT affect who wins, or the margin of victory).
- Whether or roster is big or small, please include an RP Permissions box! This helps your opponents know what you consider to be acceptable use of your team and players, should they RP a match between their team and yours. If you already have a permissions box, steady on. If you don't, considering copying the template below and adjusting your preferences as needed for each point. Remember to reference your opponent's RP permissions box, should you RP a match with their team. Failure to follow an opponent's RP permissions is against NS Sports rules and will be penalized accordingly.
- Code: Select all
