Second International Futsal Tournament [Role-playing thread]

Telvís Delapor - Official Satellite Provided Channel of the Second International Futsal Tournament
The camera's zoom panned onto the head of Serget Versal, the 'official' sports caster for Telvís Delapor. He had a smug look on his face as the camera's focus came closer to him, and this was accented by his navy blue casual dress blazer. He looked fiercely into the camera and began to read the teleprompter, which was unseen to the audience of the satellite station, "Welcome to the wonderful world of the Second International Futsal Competition! Twenty teams have come from across this planet to the Empire of the Golden Throne in order to duke it out for the cup that will proclaim them the best futsal team in this world!"

On their television screen the audience soon saw the scene switch to a blue background filled with the emblems of each team in certain groups. All the while, Serget continued to talk in the background, "This year there will be four groups of five, and those five groups will play each other twice in a round robin type of situation. The top two teams of each group will go to the finals!" The screen flipped to another digital illustration of what Serget meant. "In other words, there will be a quarter-final, a semi-final and finally, no pun intended ..." He chuckled at his bad joke, "the[b] final!"

The screen switched back to his head, as he continued talking, "So, don't miss the fun filled action of this year's futsal tournament!" The brief introduction closed with him smiling at the camera and then switched over to scenes of the last year's tournament. After about ten minutes the program began to go over the different stadia which were supposedly going to be used for the games.

"In Fedala proper there is the Imperial Stadium, where it is rumored his highness Fedor I will attend himself. Although the field is small, standard with the game's field size regulation, almost twenty thousand spectators can attend the game! Group A will be playing entirely in Fedala, and will be using the Tel'avor Stadium, as well as the Starvó Stadium, both of which are comparatively smaller than the Imperial Stadium, seating ten thousand a piece."

There was a brief pause, and then it continued covering the stadia for the other groups. Ultimately, one was to know that Group B would be situated in Macabea (province of Dienstad), while Group C would be in Sidi Rezegh, and finally Group D in Beda Fromm - a total of twelve stadia in use.

The program continued with prospects and such for another hour.

Cut short, due to lack of time. TGD will post groups next and scorinating will begin Thursday (most likely), and will be done every other day.]

Emperor Boston was stood in his office, talking to Peter Lawson, the Bostopian Prime Minister. Not that he was much of a Prime Minister, only having as much power as the ordinary fellow in the street, but at least Lawson could propose things like laws, and pretend he had a great deal of power.

[Lawson] So, the Sports Minister signed us up for a Futsal tournament in The Macabees.
A what? In the macaroons? Isn’t that a type of biscuit?
[Lawson] No, Sire, it’s a country, the Macabees.
[Boston] Oh. Right. So, what’s this Futsal thing?
[Lawson] Well, it’s like indoor five a side football, but without the nets.
[Boston] Ah, simple enough. I take it there’s just lines painted on the floor and the keeper’s not allowed to hold the ball for more than 5 seconds outside of the area.
[Lawson] Um. Yes, Sire.
[Boston] Right-o. Where are they then?
[Lawson] Who?
[Boston] The team! Where are they? Sure they’re dying to meet me.
[Lawson] Thing is, Sire, we don’t HAVE a team yet.

Boston looked at his Prime Minister and thanked the heavens he was an as-good-as-absolute Monarch.

[Boston] That’s a slight problem then. Right, off to the five-a-side courts.
[Lawson] You can’t be serious.
[Boston] Oh, I am. We watch a few games, figure out who’s doing best, and then use them lot.
[Lawson] But! What?
[Boston] Even better idea! I’ll get there, and decree a knockout tournament should start, and the team who wins it, gets to be the Bostopian Futsal Team.
[Lawson] And then what? Who’ll manage them?

The Emperor smiled a broad grin at his PM.

[Lawson] Oh…no.
[Boston] To the Emperormobile!

Half an hour later, the pair arrived at the nearest five-a-side league’s building, and went in. Emperor Boston did what he had to do, and a tournament had started.

[Boston] Wow, what great matches. I’m absolutely honoured everybody here could see them.
[Lawson] Me too, though I expected a better performance out of Klassic Kerplunk, underdogs or not.
[Boston] Quite. Well, there’s our team. Get them over here while I get their names…


(GK) Greg Friar – Stephen Priff – Harry Vale – Phil Cieka – Dave Adams – Matty Burrit – Richie Lanfield – Nobby Dranger.


[Boston] Congratulations lads. Here, have a trophy. Also, you had all better have passports.

The bemused team all nodded.

[Boston] Good-o, you’re going to the Macabees to play Futsal. Ring the Castle tomorrow afternoon, and we’ll have the travel details all sorted by then. Right, adios. Go urr celebrate or something.

Two Weeks ago...

"Futsal? What the hell in the world is Futsal?" The chairman of the QFC, John Riggles asked, when presented a proposal to have Qazox participate i the 2nd International tourney held in the Macabees.

"Sir it's like football, but inside and there's only 5 players on the field at any one time" His aide Ryan Holden replied.

"Indoor football? Why didn't we think of this first.. I pay the council enough. Ok we'll send a team." Riggles replied, "And You'll be the Coach."

"What? But sir, I.." Holden began to stammer.

"What nothing, you're the one who came up with this idea, who better than to prepare the team?" Riggles answered.

...Today

"Sir, I'm proud to announce the 1st ever Qazox Futsal team:
