After the success of the Nationstates Interregional League, we at the Maserratian Football Association have come up with a new tournament based strictly on the Amsterdam Tournament. After months of negotiations it was finally decided that this tournament would be (rather originally) called the Yamsterdam Tournament. For those who are not aquainted with this tournament, here are the basic guidelines:
1) Four teams play in the tournament, and play each other once, resulting in three games for each team.
2) Points are scored as usual depending on results - three points for a win, one for a draw and zero for a defeat.
3) On top of this points are also scored for every goal a team scores. For example, a 3-2 victory would be worth six points, three for a win and three for the three goals scored.
This means that sometimes a loss can mean gaining more points than a win, making this tournament totally unpredictable and very exciting.
The difference between the real-life tournament and the Yamsterdam Tournament are as follows.
Instead of one group of four, there are four groups of four. The two top teams from each group go to the second round, where there will be two groups of four. The top two in each of these groups would go on to a final group of four, where the top team would win the tournament.
Now, as it is the first tournament, it will be hosted in Maserrat. Eight of Maserrat's stadiums will be employed, and these are detailed below:
1) The Commodore Bowl: national stadium, capacity 72,000
2) Bavahian Den: home of Maserratian champions Rakasta Trespor, capacity 68,000
3) The Old Vasklawia: stadium of Vasklawia SV, capacity 62,000
4) Langerhan Lane: stadium of Trone Poskit, capacity 59,000
5) Gresko Football Stadium: stadium of Sumne Sumni, capacity 60,000
6) Husov Damasol: stadium of Husov Hamam, capacity 57,000
7) Polianivskus: stadium of Ramakab Ytra, capacity 53,000
8) Chil County Stadium: stadium of New Spius Lostiv, capacity 64,000
Now, as these stadums are spread out all over the island of Maserrat, from the regions of Old Bavahia to Tyrod, transport for all teams to all stadiums wil be provided at all times, thanks to the excellent public transport system that Maserrat can boast. All teams taking part will spend the duration of the tournament staying in the Yamsterdam Village, situated in Maserrat's capital city Rakasta. In the village one can find bars, restaurants, entertainment facilities and public toilets, as well as a hotel made specially for each participating team (five star and full board, of course). We can assure that nobody in the village will be dissatisfied with the service, one hundred percent guarantee.
So if all of this has persuaded you to take part, or if you've already taken part in the NIL and fancy another shot at a Maserrat tournament, then just sign up here. All you need to do is say you want in and tell me the name of your team as well as your style of play (attacking, balanced or defensive) and you're all set. It is also advised to post your 21-man team roster. If you have any queries, just post and you'll get a fast response. That's it! That's all you need to know. I await some responses with eagerness.
