CALENDAR
In a common rugby sevens tournament, many games are played in one day. Thinking about 20 minutes per match, only 2 or 3 days would be enough, but since the focus is the Roleplay, each round will take one day. So there will be 5 rounds in Pool Stage before the Knockout Rounds. The tournament will span over three IC days.
SCORINATION, CUTOFF AND ROLEPLAY INFO
As usual, xkoranate Rugby Union Sevens formula will be used for the scorination. The most recent NSRB Sevens Rankings will be used, and unranked teams theoretically start with 0.00, but each posting a roster will be awarded with some points, more or less depending on the presentation.
Roleplay bonus applies and will be cumulative. Quality over quantity is encouraged, as always. Since Lisander Rugby Festival is a multi-topic event, Roleplays on LARFC Lions topic should and will be counted to URSA Sevens, provided they're relevant or at least have connection with the events in this topic. Another way to earn small bonuses (up to 10%) is to meet small Roleplay challenges that will be added to the thread. It will be small things, like "Use the word pineapple in your RP, in a way that is consistent." Stay tuned for the challenges.
Cutoff will be around 20h GMT, but this is subject to change depending on my non-NS duties. Eventual changes will be informed via OOC thread.
The standard rugby sevens points system will be in effect for this tournament where: 3 points are awarded for a win, 2 for a draw, 1 for a loss, and 0 for a forfeit.
