The Big Book of World Cup Rules

I think it’s a good idea to have a source for all the rules regarding the World Cup. This page shall be linked to every upcoming World Cup competition as a source of the rules and regulations the competition shall be governed by.

RULE 0 - Generating Rules

RULE 0: The President may not generate more than 8 rules on any given day.

RULES 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 - "RP"

RULE 1: The result/score of a match as reported by the host(s) is official, and may not be changed in role play.

RULE 2: If your opponent reports a match first, your RP should be consistent with what has already been reported. However, if your opponents RP contains an error (such as assigning a goal to a player who is no longer on your team) you may, IC, correct the error.

RULE 3: No insulting or rude behavior toward another player in World Cup threads. You CAN disagree - just do it civilly. This does not apply to in character (IC) role play. Take any real life, out of character (OOC) conflict to another thread or forum.

RULE 4: Anything that does not violate an established WCC RP rule is allowed. If getting real close to god moding is being used in support of humor it is allowed. Example - creation of ridiculous technology, like that created by Snub Nose 38 to resurrect football players from the dead, or that used by Tanah Burung to create a race of sentient evisceratomatoes.

RULE 5: Humor is encouraged. Wild imagination is encouraged. Even putting in something about the football matches is encouraged.

Unless someone comes up with a SUPER reason why one of these rules should be dumped, they are in effect from now on. Please abide by them. If you have a complaint (a real complaint - don't waste their time, please) about someone violating rules 1, 2, 4 or 5, please take it to the Rules Committee for a...what else?...ruling.

Roberts Rule of Order Committee is empowered to gently enforce Rule 3.

RULE 6:The use of numbers 7,8 or 9 to numerate a rule or regulation is hereby strictly prohibited.

b]RULES 10, 11 & 12 - Mechanics[/b]

RULE 10: The KPB Ranking system is the official ranking system of the WCC. Kaze Progressa will share the mechanics of the KPB system with the other members of the History & Statistics Committee. At the end of each World Cup the KPB Ranks will be published - as computed. Sides will be listed in order from top rank to bottom, and numbered (so simple guys like SN38 can figure out just where we stand).

RULE 11: There will be a Role Playing (RP) Bonus. Exactly how the RP Bonus will be done for each World Cup will be explained by the host(s) in their bid. If the host proposes to use a method that has already been used, simply stating who used it for which WC will suffice. When the WCC selects the host(s) they are also selecting that method of RP Bonus. The RP Bonus MUST be small, slightly bigger for "Newbs" who RP, and neither based on quality (which is subjective) or quantity (which leads to endless and boring rps put there only for the bonus). SIMPLE is key - remember, it is realy there only to encourage us all to RP, not to improve our chances.

RULE 12: The exact method of generating results will be explained by the host(s) in their bid. If the host proposes to use a method that has already been used, simply stating who used it for which WC will suffice. When the WCC selects the host(s) they are also selecting that method of generating results.
