Savojarna XXXIV
WELCOME TO SAVOJARNA! For the first time in its history, this Nordic island nation located in Northeastern Rushmore hosts the World Cup of Hockey, the biggest hockey competition in the Multiverse - and you are a part of it. This is the place for all in-character posts about the WCoH 34, ranging from rosters over results to roleplay posts. Please put all OOC posts in this thread, as OOC posts in this thread will lead to punishment for your RP bonus. If you have never participated in NS Sports before, please look at this thread and the guides linked in it. On behalf of the Savojar Sports Authority (SSA) and the Savojar Hockey Federation (SIHF) I wish you the best of luck and a good time in Savojarna!

NOTE: IC'ly, there will be two games at the same time every day, with three time slots per day (13:00, 16:30 and 20:00 Savojar Standard Time). This means that IC'ly, each team has three days of rest between their games. The only exception is the opening game of Savojarna vs. The Greater Dog Islands, which will be played one day earlier at the request of Savojar TV to make sure that Savojarna can play the opening match at 20:00. As long as your RP takes place in Savojarna, I'd advise you to stick to this timeline, however it is not necessary and there will be no effect on your RP bonus if you don't. This is simply meant to facilitate RP among nations by standardising the timeline of matches.
