The outline for the 17th World Cup, as proposed in Raptor Claw/Squornshelous is as follows:

Qualifying: 120 teams will participate in qualifying, playing in fifteen groups, each containing 8 teams. Should signups be over-subscribed, the Baptism Of Fire (and, if applicable, the Colony Cup) will be used to pre-qualify teams. The KPB System will determine seedings.

Finals: The current RL format will be retained, with 8 groups of four followed by a knockout tournament. Each nation will host four groups, four last 16 games, two quarter-finals and one semi-final. Squornshelous will host the third-placed game, Raptor Claw the final.

Score Generation: Leagion if made available, otherwise using a spreadsheet system.

RP Bonus: RPs will be split into four scoring categories:
RPs of less than 100 words will receive 0.25 RP Points.
RPs of 100-250 words will receive 0.50 RP Points.
RPs of 250-500 words will receive 0.75 RP Points.
RPs of more than 500 words will receive 1.00 RP Points.

Additional quarter points will be given to RPs that in the opinion of the hosts are exceptional due to innovation, humour, satire etc.


AOB: Any further questions, please post here and we'll answer.

Just to add, ooc, Raptor Claw is moving IRL and may not be able to participate as much in the current world cup unless we can make it to the finals as it will be a couple of weeks yet before we are fully settled, so please do not take this as an indication of our abiilty to host

We confirm the rules that Raptor Claw has proposed.

Actually, Krytenia forgot you put a bid up. I've not got the originals any more (removed them after WC16), but if you TG me the names and capacities of them, I can create some new ones. Sorry, honest mistake.

Raptor Claw, it is not nice to accuse without knowledge/evidence.
