Introduction
Welcome to Banija and Filindostan for the Silver Anniversary of the International Basketball Championships! Forty-eight teams will battle it out for the Multiverse's best basketball team, and only one can win them all. With a new champion to be crowned, teams will be eager to kickstart their campaign and use this tournament as a springboard for basketball dominance for editions to come.
This is the Everything thread for this tournament. Nations can post their rosters and roleplay posts, and hosts will post the scores per given matchday. Posts in this thread should be purely in-character (IC), and any out-of-context or out-of-character (OOC) posts should be directed at the discussion thread.
Roster Posts
Roster posts should include information about the team - the players, coaching staff, how they play, and so on and so forth. You may visit the IC thread of the previous edition of the IBC to get an insight on the different roster posts of the participants. Please include as much information as needed in order for you or your opponent to roleplay efficiently should s/he or you use game reports. Participants are also encouraged to include a roleplay permissions box, which contains at least the information below:
My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose Scoring Events: Yes/No - allows the opponent to choose the way your players score (e.g. dunk, eurostep lay-ups, three pointers, etc)
Godmod Scoring Events: Yes/No - allows the opponent to roleplay unrealistic ways of scoring baskets (e.g. regular halfcourt shots, shots from the crowd, tumbling while taking a shot
RP Injuries to my Players: Yes/No - allows the opponent to roleplay injuries to your players
Godmod Injuries to my Players: Yes/No - allows the opponent to roleplay unrealistic injuries such as spontaneous combustion, or even instantaneous deaths
Foul my players out: Yes/No - allows the opponent to roleplay foul-outs to your players
Eject my players/staff: Yes/No - allows the opponent to roleplay ejections to your players or your coaching staff
Godmod Other Events: Yes/No - allows the opponent to roleplay unrealistic events, such as declaring war or instigating an invasion just because you beat the opposing team

It is the users’ responsibility to set their RP permissions in place, and put more specific instructions or guidelines on it. The rule of thumb is that if a user is not sure of his/her RP permissions, or if a user have an RP idea but is not sure if his or her opponent would approve to it, they should discuss it first before proceeding. If a user feels that his or her opponent did not follow his or her permissions, they may contact their opponent to resolve it, or just post it to the discussion thread. Blatant and unreasonable violations of RP permissions by a user will result to their RP bonus reset to zero.
It is also important to check first if the opponent have posted their roleplay before posting their own. Instances of retroactive continuity (retcon) in at least the opponents and users’ roleplays are generally frowned upon and will result to their RP bonus reset to zero. However, users may retcon only if the opponent did not follow RP permissions or did not follow through the last RPs of the user (e.g. player is injured in the last game and cannot play the next one but their opponent roleplayed the particular player as taking the winning shot in that next game).
