This is the discussion thread for the IFC. Feel free to talk about when the IFC should happen, IFC rankings, and all those other stuff.

same here, but that can always add to the dicussion :)

anyway, I agree with you, a IFC is minor. When should the timing be?

I know it may be a little odd to field some criticism despite just winning it, but for one for a small tournament like this one it has been running for too long, especially given the very low RP activity. Now I don't expect everybody to put in long RPs for every match day, but it just felt too drawn out. For smaller competitions such as this one I would rather propose a half-round robin format, followed by playoffs.

As for the frequency I am not sure I can give much input in this matter, as I have only recently started with NS (and subsequently NS Sports), so I am not yet familiar with which tournaments actually are out there and which frequency they are held. So I will need some more experience and oversight here to be able to comment on this.

Given the size of the tournament and its character as a minor event, I would also agree that it should remain unranked. I would also see it attracting more smaller nations, maybe to get their feet wet, so to say, just as I have done as my first ever football tournament.

Just my five cents (Canada doesn't have pennies anymore, so can't give just two) ;)
