Under 21 World Cup 13 Signup Thread

16-02-2005, 21:27
As you know Second Round onwards scores are TGed 24 hours before posting to this thread. You can also get your Group Stage results 24 hours before they are posted to this thread by going on IRC and having the luck to find me.

If you RP in U21WC12 you automatically get a space reserved. The list will be added when U21WC12 finishes. Meanwhile people who aren't playing/gonna RP in U21WC12 can signup here. I'm posting it early because even cups tend to be harder to get players for.

All 6 styles are available. Please choose one when signing up.

The 5 fixed styles

AOA [All Out Attack]

ATT [Attacking]

NOR [Normal]

DEF [Defensive]

AOD [All Out Defence]

and the very random and suicidal [unless you have a high rank]

KAM [Kamikaze]

These styles effect how many goals are scored in the match, the more defensive the two teams the lower the goals and vice versa. Of course Rank plays an important role here.

Any questions can be posted here, as well as suggestions and comments. I'd like to improve the cup and what better way than asking the players for their ideas.

[Start Date: After World Cup 21 Qualifying]

I've been in (in one form or another) since U21WC4. I can still remember my first game - a 2-1 win over Ebon Hawk. Then I drew with then-champions Jeruselem, which was even better. Then the competition gave birth to my bogey team - Bedistan. I'll beat them some day...hopefully.

It's just TnUI testing the formula to be used for the up-coming cup. It's being tweaked all the time.

The ranks are determined by the levels of performance and RP in the previous cup or (maybe) two. I can't remember it exactly.
