Sylestone and Ethane.
Two small nations. One large dream.
Didn't make it into the World Cup? Neither did we. But guess what? This is where the real party is at. As fellow non-qualifiers, we're delighted to be welcoming you into our homes for the prestigious Cup of Harmony.
To those of you new to NS Sports, welcome to our community. Please check out The Guide to Sports Roleplaying for more info on NS Sports, and how to approach these tournaments.
Received an Invite?
To participate in this tournament, you must have responded to either Sylestone's or my invitations. We'll be sending them out by TG or Discord PM over the next couple of hours, so please keep an eye out. To accept your invitation, you'll need to reply to the telegram or discord PM. If you don't accept within the time period, we have the right to give your place to someone else or remove your place, due to the high number of nations that meet the minimum requirements. You do not need to post a roster to be accepted, but there is a harsh KPB penalty that builds up if you do not post a roster - more information will be provided on that later.
Format:
We've got 56 teams in 8 groups of 7. You'll play each team in your group once. This will then progress on to a seeded round of 32, based on your performance in the group stages, until we whittle it down to the last two nations to battle for the Cup of Harmony.

CUTOFFS
Sylestone (Groups A-D): 0600-0800 UTC, 1600-1800 AEST, 1700-1900 AEDT, 0200-0400 EDT, 0700-0900 BST.
Ethane (Groups E-H): 0700-1000 UTC, 0800-1100 BST, 0300-0600 EDT, 1700-2000 AEST, 1800-2100 AEDT.
Roster penalty. We will allow the first match day as a grace day, but following that, there is a penalty to your KPB for not posting a roster.
The roster penalty would go as such:
MD1: No penalty.
MD3: 10% KPB loss.
MD5: 20% KPB loss.
MD7: 30% KBP loss.
Ro32: 40% KPB loss.
Ro16: 50% KPB loss.
The roster penalty would be immediately reversed as soon as you post a roster. So if you posted a roster after MD4, you would have had a 30% KPB loss on MD4, but would have your rank restored (so no penalty) for MD5. The penalty would not reduce your KPB ranking by more than 50%.
RP Bonuses
Want to find out what you're receiving for your RPs and rosters? You can. All you have to do is send a TG or PM on discord to your host (so A-D to Sylestone, E-H to Ethane) requesting your RP bonuses. You'll be able to see the grade given to each RP you request to see. Only you can see your own RP bonuses; no one else will be able to see what was given to your RPs and vice versa.
RP Permissions
Please post this with your roster and answer the questions. It helps nations playing against you understand what they're allowed and not allowed to do when roleplaying about their game against you.
