First of all, allow me to clarify something. This has nothing to do with the World Cup. It isn't a statement against the World Cup(of which I intend to participate), nor is it affected by the World Cup. If that didn't tell you, it also doesn't affect the World Cup. It doesn't affect any of the other sports roleplays, and it is not affected by any of them. If you choose to enter with the same team as you used in the World Cup, that's cool. If you choose not to, that's cool too.
This is an international soccer league. The key word there is league. There is no elimination round. I suppose there are downsides - there is no ultimate final, for instance - but I felt it a better choice, considering that a World Cup - and numerous other Cups - have already been created. The advantage here is that all teams play just as many games as all the other teams. Even if your team is losing, you still get to play as many teams as you want to. There is an exception. If two teams finish the season tied for the most points, they will play a playoff to determine who wins the season.
Each game will take place over a period of approximately 72 hours - 3 days. I recognize that it's difficult to RP in many of the Cups that already exist, and I wanted to make it easier to roleplay in this one as well. Furthermore, I will be very forigiving about your RPing. If you forget to RP during the three days, or are very busy and just don't have time, I will probably factor a late RP into your RP bonus. At the end of each three-day period, I will post the results of the game that was just played(allowing you to RP for that game), and the schedule of games that will be played during the next three-day period(after which I will post results for those games). When a season ends, there will be a break to sign teams up for the next Round Robin season.
There are a few rules changes from the ordinary soccer games, but they shouldnm't interfere greatly. First, there will be no overtime. There will be no penalty kicks, to decide the game. If the game is tied at overtime, it will be declared a draw and placed in the results as such. Furthermore, there will be no injury time. The game ends at 90 minutes. The half ends at 45 minutes.
This uses a simpler "scorinator" than the one used in the World Cup. Mostly because I didn't understand the one used in the World Cup. So I built my own. I like to think of it as well made for this league(though there are probably a few kinks to work out. It takes several factors into account.
One of these factors is formation. Rather than a system of Attacking, Defending, Normal, and all that, you tell me your formation in fullback-halfback-striker form. If you're too busy to do that, you may also pick from the following styles.
AOA: 2-3-5
ATT: 3-3-4
NOR: 4-3-3
DEF: 5-3-2
AOD: 6-3-1
Nations Signed Up:
Ninurta(4-4-2)
Liverpool England (4-3-3. if I recall correctly.)
Hiiraan(3-5-2)
Adam Island(3-4-3)
Druida(4-3-3)
Cockbill Street(4-5-1)
Bedistan(3-4-3 until specified)
