NationStates Jolt Archive

After the ceasure of NationStates Champions' League Six following the evil disease called RL, and the recent revival of thought-dead domestic leagues in Starblaydia, Druida and Cockbill Street, it is thought that another go at international club competitions in European football might finally prove successful.

The workings:

Unlike the real Champions' League, this one will not have a direct knock-out qualifying round in the beginning. Everyone will be given a group, even though this will mean that some groups will have more teams than others. This is to encourage RPing in the early rounds, because RP bonus will have a large effect. After the group stage, there will be direct knock-out rounds. This applies for both the Champions' League and NSFA Cup.

Rankings: The KPB world rankings for national teams will be used, as it is thought that the strength of a national team reflects the strength of the league. However, the influence of rank will be quite small. The results from NSCL5 will not be used, as this is quite a way back and things may have changed since then.

Sign-up: To sign up, you fill out the following form. Each nation can enlist two clubs for both the Champions' League and NSFA Cup.

1st Club (to Champions' League):
2nd Club (to Champions' League):
3rd Club (to NSFA Cup):
4th Club (to NSFA Cup):

You also need to state the relative strength of each club in the form - adding up to 100 %. Also, a club entering the NSFA Cup may not be stronger than the strongest club entering the Champions' League. If these restrictions aren't met, the sign-up percentages will be adjusted until they do. An example for Cockbill Street might be:

1st Club (to CL): Jotneheim Mountains AFC (35 %)
2nd Club (to CL): Roegrow Athletic (15 %)
3rd Club (to NSFA): Likh'gokh K'druz'ba (25 %)
4th Club (to NSFA): Harewood FC (25 %)

The percentages inside the bracket indicate how good you want the team to be in comparison to the other teams. In order to ensure that no one makes one complete über-team, only 40 % of the ranking points are distributed in this way.

There will be a ranking system developed, similar to the KPB rankings for nations.

Also, a host (where the final will be played, and also responsible for generating results) for the Champions' League is needed. Liverpool England has already applied, but this depends on whether the Liverpudlians are chosen to host World Cup 22.

I think you got my teams mixed up. ;)

Reserving two spots each, if I may, though the participating teams are not yet confirmed. This will be decided within the next few days.

Uh...

We only have one team remaining after the break-up of the LFL, of which we are currently looking for a league for. However, may we be able to use this team [Midland Dragons] in the champions league? It is composed of all our top non-national team players, and is a very young group.

Updated and all errors hopefully corrected.

Thinly veiled bump.

If there's still room, we'd like to offer these Republic Core Worlds Teams for your listing..

2nd Club (to CL): Blue Diamond Destroyers (15 %)

We will display the team rosters later, a few with familiar names from U21. =^^=

Audioslavia will be sending the two teams who finished first and second in the league to the champions league, and would ideally send the third placed team and the Audioslavian Football Association Cup winners to the NSFA cup, but seeing as the league runners up won the cup, the beaten finalists Cornellby (finished 6th in the league), will take their place.

1st Club (AFLD1 Champions, to CL): Raiders F.C. (39 %)
2nd Club (AFLD1 Runners-up, to CL): Machinegrad F.C. (38 %)
3rd Club (AFLD1, Third place, to NSFA): Caylerden City F.C. (15 %)
4th Club (AFA Cup, Runners Up, to NSFA): Cornellby City F.C. (8 %)

Lovos-Renault Atma not Lovisa-Renault in CL

Famous for their complete failings in international club football (No club from the Druidish lands has ever made it past the qualifying stages), Druida would like to reserve a pair of spaces in each cup for when their next season ends.

Noted.

As sign-ups have dried up, I suggest the tournament should start some time during this week, probably Tuesday or Wednesday, so those who haven't put in their club names better hurry up.

Oh, and Liverpool England are off the list of hosts. Unless someone desperately wants to host the CL, I'll do it myself.

Can I host!

I only have 1 stadium though....

I only have 1 stadium though....

Oh, that's no problem. Only need one for the final anyway. Hosting in NS terms usually means giving results for all the matches and adding up RP bonus and things like that, though, and that takes a fair bit of time...

I've got the time... just not the calculations...

OK, I'll send you a TG with the details of how it's done and a place where I've uploaded a scorinator in a bit. You have Excel, I hope?

Sure do.

*Linky didn't work*

It should now. I know the link works on this computer, and I'm not on the one I uploaded the file from.

Hmmm... I'm getting the linky working, but the file isn't saving as a readable file....

Kaze Progressa are back. The league system has changed significantly in the civil war, and that is reflected in the teams that have qualified for the CL - all from the eastern areas largely untouched by the war.

Either you haven't got winzip or something is wrong with the file. I'll have a look.

Edit: Nothing wrong with the file, it seems. Try installing Filzip (http://www.filzip.com/en/index.html)

You got space for 2.08 megabytes ready?

Yep...

Sent.

Edit: and sign-ups updated, too.

recieved...

Okay, so which group is being played in my Country.

Okay, so which group is being played in my Country.

Well - none of them really, as this is a club tournament with home and away games. You have to make results for all the matches, though (that's the main point of hosting).

The final is played in your country, too.

Okay... Right. so, when we are starting?

*slips Moleland a blank cheque*

You know what to do. ;)

Ok....

(Changes RP bonus to 10000000000000 for South Osettia teams)

Lol...

Okay, could everybody please send me yout team line-up sheets.

Okay... Right. so, when we are starting?

Group draw tonight, first matchday tomorrow sounds okay to you? We've got 40 teams for the Champions' League now - sounds like a good number, gives eight groups of five.

In other words, sign-ups are closed, and two RP threads (one for the Champions' League, one for the NSFA Cup) should be up shortly.

Okay, could everybody please send me yout team line-up sheets.

Um - just a hint. Because not everyone seems to be active and invent team names, it's normally done in the RP thread instead of actually sending it to the host. It's not needed while scorinating - the list of teams participating is all we need, and that's on the first page.

Edit: Btw, could I add you to my MSN list?

Hmm...good thing I've got the name of every single South Osettian professional football player on file somewhere.

Okay. Just A sec.

BTW, what exactly is the RP Bonus for this tournament...or is it a secret?

BTW, what exactly is the RP Bonus for this tournament...or is it a secret?

Without revealing too much - it's fairly simple, and not based on length or quality.

Seems fair. I'll post my rosters a little bit later. At the moment, I'm rather hungry, so I'm going to eat something.

Okay, could everybody please send me yout team line-up sheets.

OOC

It's an effort to get the WC and U21 ones done for me anyway ... :)

And with soccer RPs there's four kinds!
=> Active (insane) RPers - guys who write really long RPs and do everything including detailed rosters.
=> Do everything except write long RPs. RPs are more "concise". Rosters are less detailed or just late.
=> Join up but don't RP (or don't have time)
=> Join up and forget later

BTw: cockbill... Wheres the NSFA Cup draw?

But I... I didn't get chance to finish my league! :(

If the two Druidan clubs could take the place of two of the byes (when the season is over), we would be most grateful.

Bah, there IS a rule IRL about two teams being in the same group from the same nation. Could IDEXO or Schimpol be swapped with one of the Lovisan clubs?

Take what you get, and don't ask to be swapped with a team that you know won't RP therefore improving your chances of victory!
