NS Arena Bowl Discussion Thread

[Sarzonia]

Please use this thread to discuss any OOC issues related to the NS Arena Bowl or its predecessor, the Sarzonian Indoor Gridball Cup.

As a reminder, the SIGA will be referred to as NS Arena Bowl 0 in keeping with the precedent established by the World Bowl.

Too bad you don't use Exterior for your outdoor Gridball league..

S.E.G.A. is cooler than SIGA.

[Sarzonia]

Keep the spam to a minimum please.

Sorry about posting my roster later than I thought I would. I have been gone since Friday.

[Sarzonia]

Mytannion,

Your home field looks like an outdoor stadium. The NS Arena Bowl is indoors on a field that's about half the size of that used by the outdoor game.

Bear that in mind for RP purposes, please.

Since the regular season starts August 17 should we make a rp or no? Also would I be playing Wadomia tomoroww and who is home?

[Mytannion]

It is, half of it, it is a complex though, and the arena has a retractable roof, and the pitch can be changed from proper grass, to astroturf, and the rebound nets, and sideline barriers can be put in place if needed.

[Andossa Se Mitrin Vega]

My new arena has been carved from the stone far below the pitch of Stadii Se Draggonnii Arcea. Not quite sure how to come up with a pic for that. Feel free to use cave and dungeon comparisons if you choose, though is has more the feel of the Roman Colluseum with a roof overhead.

[Sarzonia]

Since the regular season starts August 17 should we make a rp or no? Also would I be playing Wadomia tomoroww and who is home?

You're more than welcome to make a RP at any time before 17 August. It would count toward a RP bonus for Matchday 1.

Since you're listed second in your group, you follow 2 in the schedule. Your opening match is home to Wadomia. On Matchday 6, you'd be playing Wadomia away.

[Mytannion]

What positions would you have to finish in to qualify for the next round? Slightly confused by that..

And also, if I RP'ed now, bearing in mind I have a bye on matchday 1, would the rp bonus be carried over for matchday 2, because if I do RP, and it isn't carried over because I have a bye, I don't see the point in RPing yet.

[Sarzonia]

What positions would you have to finish in to qualify for the next round? Slightly confused by that.

After the three group winners, the next seven teams to qualify will be the seven remaining teams with the best records. It wouldn't matter if you finished second in Group C if the third place team in Group B has a better record than you did.

Example: If Group A's standings went like this:
Delaclava 7-1
Sarzonia 5-3
Sibirsky 4-4
Mossulia 4-4
Freelasio 0-8

And Group B's standings went like this
Mytannion 6-2
Qazox 4-4
Cosumar 4-4
ASMV 3-5
Krytenia 3-5

And Group C's standings looked like this:
Churchma 8-0
Rennidan 5-3
Western Cuba 4-4
Wadomia 3-5
Stannge 0-8

Churchma, Delaclava and Mytannion would all win the top three seeds because they won their groups. Rennidan and Sarzonia would get the next two spots at 5-3, and all the 4-4 clubs would make it. The fact Mossulia finished fourth in its group wouldn't matter because it qualified based on its record.

And also, if I RP'ed now, bearing in mind I have a bye on matchday 1, would the rp bonus be carried over for matchday 2, because if I do RP, and it isn't carried over because I have a bye, I don't see the point in RPing yet.

Yes it would be. When I refer to "Matchday 1" I mean the first matchday for the teams that have byes on the actual Matchday 1. So if a team with a bye on Matchday 1 RPs prior to their first match, that RP would count.

[Mytannion]

Thanks for clearing that up with me.

[Rennidan]

Edited my post to put in my roster and arena details.

[Sarzonia]

I've now created links to all rosters on the RP thread.

Matchday 1's RP cutoff will be at approximately 7 p.m. EDT tonight. That's going to be the time I'll shoot for every day, but if I'm going to be late, I'll try to notify you in the RP thread.

[Sarzonia]

Mytannion and everyone,

Please confine solely OOC comments such as this:

OOC: @Andossa Se Mitrin Vega - My media approach is beautiful isn't it? Sorry about marking you as the team we may be able to take points off, and the prediction too, but I'm just doing what newspapers world around do, support their team, and criticize others, but when they end up losing all their games, calling their team terrible, and saying we were never going to win

To THIS thread.

Thank you.

[Cosumar]

ASMV --

In your most recent Arena Bowl RP, you RP'd that the game took place between you and Osarius, when actually you played Cosumar.
In the first line of your RP you said that you lost to us but for the rest of the RP you talked about Osarius.

Must focus on the task at hand better, Sorry

It's not a problem, I just thought I'd point that out to you. And we've all done it at one point or another!

[Rennidan]

I thought I was playing Churchma at home today, but their RP says Rennidan is playing away? Can someone clarify on this so I know what to roleplay about? I was under the impression the team listed first in the schedule is the home team.

[Sarzonia]

I always use home team listed first as per standard NS Sports precedent.

[Rennidan]

Ahkay, thank you Sarzonia! I'll crack out my roleplay now (inbetween washing up and baking a cake at 2am).

[Churchma]

Hey my bad Rennidan... I was under the impression that the second team listed was the home team. Definitely my fault. I'll fix that for my next RP! Good luck with our matchup tonight.

[Rennidan]

It's not a problem, man. We all make that mistake at some point. It's a bit of a bummer I missed the cut-off by 10 minutes, but hey, it'll go towards my next match day. And yeah, best of luck!

[Western cuba]

By the way I am sorry about not rping the 2nd and 3rd games I would of but I have been very busy working the last few days. In fact I won't be on long right now however I will try to write a game 4 rp.

[Qazox]

The World Bowl 0/ Sarzonian Indoor Gridball Cup Nwwiki page is up. I couldn't get a Infobox to work correctly, so if someone knows how to create one, can you please add it to that page? Thanks.
