Welcome! Welcome to the inaugural Pan-Pacific Cup! Nations from all five feeders will be facing off over the course of Pacific-Con to display their sporting prowess and take home the glory. Each nation has sent its best footballers/soccer players and all that's left is for them to battle it out on the pitch.
Well, not quite. I'm sure you have some questions first. So we'll go over some Out of Context info here first.
This is the IC (In Context) thread, where everything will be happening. If you're looking for info on who you're playing, or posting a roleplay, or looking up your results, all that will be in this thread. If you want to discuss the tournament Out of Context, you can do that on the Pacific-Con discord server, or here, in the OOC thread (where you signed up).
Highton and I will be your hosts. We'll be providing the results using a program called xkoranate. In xkoranate we'll be giving 'roleplay bonuses,' which are little luck boosts you get when you write a good rp. Roleplaying won't guarantee you a win, but it might help tip the odds in your favor. Remember, quality over quantity.
The tournament will begin with a group stage: twelve groups of four. After each group plays a round robin, the top 16 teams will advance to the knockout rounds: the twelve group winners and the four best second-place teams. Each team will play one match each day. I will be scorinating groups A through F, and will post scores around 20:00 or 21:00 UTC each day. Highton will be scorinating groups G through L, and those groups will have a cutoff time around 4:00 UTC.
You may now post roleplays and rosters in this thread. You are highly encouraged to post a roster. Rosters help your opponents know who they're playing against: it's good to include your lineup, any other information about your team or nation that you think may be important, and your rp permissions if you like.
RP permissions are not mandatory, but if you are worried about others doing things with your team or your characters that you won't like, they are a good way to guard against that. Below are some sample RP permissions.
I Give My Opponent Permission To:
Godmod Goalscoring Events: Y/N
Injure Players: Y/N
Godmod Injury Events: Y/N
Red Card My Players: Y/N
Yellow Card My Players: Y/N
Godmod Other Events: Y/N
As always, if you have any other questions, feel free to contact one of the hosts or ask on discord or in the OOC thread. Now... ready, set, roleplay!
