Thanks, but no thanks. I've tried using that one, and it's ridiculously hard to navigate. I had figured that I'll just use this as a multipurpose thread for my own domestic league - unless it's against the rules somewhere...

Today's match results come with a quick summary of the best matches today!

CHEONJIN - It was a goal-fest in the "Fords of Heaven," as the local home team falls 2-3 to the visitors from Bokgeon. It was a sharp match, where goals weren't the only thing flying - a record 10 cards were given out in the match that was a physical as it was entertaining. Club managers cited the event as rather "disappointing" as each side had to play 8 people on the field because of the cards.

HANGYEONG - In the Imperial Capital, not far from the fest in Cheonjin, the "Imperial Team" - so called because the club plays in the Emperor Gojong Football Stadium, the same used by the Imperial Han Football Team - fell to Malla, going 1-2. The match was considerably cleaner, with no cards issues and few fouls. Visitors to the large stadium remarked how the sport became almost "homily and gentie." Critics said that the Emperor's presence in the stadium (although not confirmed) made the match too "gentlemanly and unbecoming of the sport it represents." Nonetheless, the crowds were pleased with the play, although not so pleased with the result.

PYEONGYANG - Joseon squared off against Sanghae, leaving the game a even 2-2 draw for the day. Player viewers from Internet sites recorded this match as the most popular, given the recent football craze in Joseon, and the seemingly insurmountable population in Sanghae. The two sides drew even blood the first half, failing to get any more advantages in the second half. But at the end of regulation time, the two sides remained friendly and accepted the points given to both sides.

It's not in the written rules... but i think on Page 45 of the Unwritten ones it's there, between not wearing RED against Bettia and the one claiming that Sel-Appa is most annoying person on NS.. ;) ;)

Well, I already wear red to all of my matches... so I guess I'm already taboo.

Oh well, time to bury the hatchet.

BOKJU - The "Imperial Team" of Hangyeong visited the quaint city of Bokju, where they stole victory from the locals in a rapturous 1-2 victory. The two goals were late in the match, and despite the home team's clear dominance of the field, the lucky shots were all that the Hangyeong team needed to gain 3 points in the right direction. Bokgeon also had their own episode of rapture in Cheonjin recently, featuring the 10-card game.

OROMOKJEI - In the remote deserts of Shingang lie the sparkling city of frontiers - Oromokjei. There, Joseon visited the Shingang home and performed a fantastic role, winning the match 2-3. The final goal came just after half time and an unprecedented delay of 100 minutes, to wait for the clearing sands of a passing sandstorm. After the match, Oromokjei city officials pledged to build a retractable roof on top of the stadium to prevent such delays in the future.

LASA - At the world's highest stadium in Lasa, the Seojang team clearly took advantage of their home turf, winning 1-0 against their visitors from Junggyeong. The match was nonetheless slow to progress, as the ball was played high frequently and players too low to perform at peak levels. Despite the victory, officials from Lasa announced plans to build another stadium at a lower elevation, to even the odds for players visiting the stadium. In other news, the Imperial Football Team announced Seojang as their official summer training grounds.

HOHUAHOTEUK - It was a fiery fest as the local Monggol team stormed Gamsuk with a 4-1 victory. Despite being relatively isolated from the rest of the world, the Monggol Team put on a great show, demonstrating superior defense and offensive styles at home. Gamsuk, while also impressive, have lacked much of their winning style since their tie with neighbors in Manju. At this early stage of the season, Monggol leads on with their first victory.

HAEGU - This match-up features the only remaining undefeated team in the entire League, with Haenam storming another victory at home against Bokgeon. The islanders managed an early goal and came back to win the game 2-1. Bokgeon, on the other hand, marveled at their great start but rather poor finish. They've had difficulty winning another match since their first match against Gangso, conveniently also one of the poorest teams in the League.

PYEONGYANG - Joseon takes another victory over the rival kingdom Jonam. The match was even for both sides, and in the end, only one goal separated the two sides. Clearly the rivals took the match very seriously as a number of fouls did occur, including one red card injury to the Joseon goalkeeper for punching a Jonam striker in the face. The goalkeeper was removed from gameplay, and in true style, Joseon managed to stay on despite missing a goalkeeper in play for the last 20 minutes.

LASA - In Seojang, the "Imperial Team" stormed the field, despite the hig altitude to seize victory from home opponents of Seojang. The final score was an astounding 3-5 victory for Hangyeong, with the last three goals coming in the last twenty minutes of play. It was an exciting match through and through, and although the players literally collapsed after play, everyone watching on was impressed with their performance.

DAEBUK - Daeman won victory against their opponents from Malla - the official team for Malnira. It was a simple 2-0 victory that had spectators wondering if the score really should have been 0-0. The two goals were scored off two controversial runs, although the linesman declared both runs onside. Replays have shown that at least one of the runs was offside, leading some to believe the linesman was blind to miss that play. No word from Daeman on the status of the linesman.

GWANGJU The day stood still in Gwangju, as Gwangdong and Monggol fought bitterly to a 1-1 draw. In a sell-out crowd, the two teams fought over possession whenever and wherever the ball fled. It was a spectacular match, with many personal battles going on in the field, so many that they persisted after the match into the locker room, where a brawl ended up sending 15 players to the emergency room. Members from both football clubs have attested that none of the injuries were life-threatening and will not disincline the players from participating their next match.

PYEONGYANG - The Imperial Team was defeated soundly in Pyeongyang to the Joseon team, after a halftime of even performance. The late break by Joseon demonstrated their technical capability in running the ball despite their exhaustion. Nonetheless, the Imperial Team maintains their high hopes to finish the season high, with a firm 12 points in 7 matches.

Monggol progresses to the Semifinals


It was an exciting series for all matches. The one upset from Monggol sets up a Semifinal clash between Sanghae and Monggol, two of the most polar sides of the entire Empire. Sanghae boasts a modern urban population, with the advances of technology readily apparent in the metropolitan area. In contrast, Monggol is sparsely populated, with mostly rural farmers and herders. Nonetheless they share the same passion and it will be a tough series for the Semifinals.

Hangyeong and Jikyei each make their expected appearance in the Semifinals, with the two teams literally in the neighborhood of the other. The Semifinal series will prove to be a test of pride for the "Imperial Team" which suffered early in the season, as Jikyei has proven to be the best team in the league. However, ranks have proven nothing thusfar, and whatever the result, it will be an electrifying experience for all of the fans.

What was turning agony for all participants was a great reward to those who persevered to make it to the final match. With both Hangyeong and Sanghae taking their match aggregates away at home, Hangyeong takes away the coveted prize for a home match. Sanghae club officials were quick to protest the decision, although IFA officials had professed that the set-up was decided months ago, before any final results from the Season were given to the IFA committee. The spokesman for the Hangyeong Club was optimistic about the prospective chances for the city to claim the title. "We beat the top seeds in the NFL in a narrow victory, and while I am not going to speak for the NFL and IFA officials, I am pleased that we have a better chance over our higher seeded opponents. This match also gives us a chance to improve our standings with the fans, as we truly deserve this chance on the inaugural season.

Despite their loss, Jikyei still maintains the top rank in the NFL, having attained the rank in the regular season. The ranks employed by the NFL will be used to determine the top picks for the remaining 20 players on the Imperial Football Team, as well as any rising and aspiring players within the Empire. Following the Final Match in Hangyeong, the IFA will open the NFL to any and all open contracts from outside the Empire as well. Details are to be released after the close of the Final Match.

Final Match

Hangyeong 2-1 Sanghae

It was a glorious finish for the Imperial Team, champions of the inaugural Season of the NFL and Emperor's Cup. As such, they have been crowned the champions of football in the Han Empire.

However, owing to the current rankings from Season 1, they are still slotted for the 4th team in the drafts, soon to come following this announcement. We offer our congratulations to the Hangyeong Football Club and wish them luck next year.

Draft information will follow this message soon.

If you have a foreign player interested in joining a team in the NFL and your country is officially recognized by the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs, please issue a statement including the players' names, their position, and their team preference. Players do not need to be from the National Football Team of their respective home country to participate.

This is soccer, not football...

ooc: Call it what you wish - it's association football; mind you, this is not directly open to ooc comments of that sort.

Two Zwangzug footballers would like to play in the Han NFL: defender Andrew Card would be interested in playing for Joseon, and midfielder Roger Hammers would be interested in playing for Seojang.

Since the Rookdom of Zwangzug is officially recognized by the Empire (ooc: it took me some time to find it, but I found it :)), the IFA accepts the admission of these two players wholeheartedly. We are also pleased that your football association and the two players have chosen to play in the Han NFL, which we believe has the great potential to expand into a larger and more renowned professional league. We have made the notice with respective teams of the two players choices, and they have agreed to accept them for the Second Season Roster. If there is anything else we do that is of service, please let us know in the meantime.

(ooc: do you want to have some arrangement of payment for the two players to play in our league or is it alright if we mutually agree that some payment scheme has been established for this trade?)

(OOC: The latter is fine.)

Andrew and Roger look forward to playing for their clubs!

The Draft will end on 3Sept, so if you want people to play in the NFL of Daehanjeiguk, please send your applications this way.

Also, to the people who think that I'm going to have a "draft" draft - people in the USA should know what I'm talking about - I'm not. I'm basically doing this as a cover-up for the fact that Season 1 was played by ghosts, and this "draft" is merely to fill up the ranks of my domestic teams with names. It takes time and effort to write up all of these names - and I'm pretty meticulous about what the names say (in Korean and Chinese). So if you're worried that I'm corrupting the sport by doing this, I'm not. If you're not worried, please take a look at this link (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=536058&goto=nextnewest).

A few players from the ESF are considering the Han NFL as possible destinations for their trade. Those interested are listed with their name, number, age, current club, sex, team interested in playing for, and the amount of silver coins their current club is asking for them.

Keeper, #14, Edward van Posey, age - 1012, Hartdale Hawks, M, Hangyeong, 3200 silver

Defender, #5, Mathias Nickel, age - 804, Hartdale Hawks, M, Cheonjin, 2400 silver

Midfielder, #16, Dorian Sonja, age - 1035, FC Longview, F, Jikyei, 2800 silver

Striker, #11, Renai Adai, 976, Rinaldi Gunners, F, Haenam, 2600 silver

Feel free to add the following players from Cafundéu too:

Gustavo KEMP (attacker) - played in the National Team in World Cup 34 as a reserve player. Had some difficulties in the career and didn't return to the NT, but still is a very good player. Was playing for Atlético Jutense, but had a bad season there. Is 27 years old.

MANUEL PADARIA (defensive midfielder) - played in the National Team in World Cups 32/33 as one of the main reserves, who entered in nearly every game. Now, he is reaching the end of his career (more than 35 years of age), but still has good defensive skills.

RAFINHA (offensive midfielder/attacker) - a very young player (18 years old), who decided to leave his team (he was playing in the youth team of Dunboor FC) as he wouldn't be able to play for the starting team right now. Has some talent, but no much is known about him.

Of course it's up to the teams to choose which players they want. In order of quality, Kemp is the best, but Manuel Padaria is the most experienced one, and can be the captain of a team. So, these two should go to big teams. Rafinha is young, so it's better for him to play in a intermediate or weaker team.

To the ESF:

The IFA will try to coordinate recognition of your government with the Imperial Foreign Ministry to allow this trade to pass. Fortunately, we will be able to procure the request payment in silver, although it might be some time before we are able to receive an exemption for this status. We are nonetheless glad that your football players have elected to play in the Empire, and we hope that they will enjoy the season here, and perhaps many more!


To Cafundeu:

We accept all three players - although since they have stated no preference for a team, we will enter them into the general round, for all teams to negotiate and discuss terms for the season. We assure the players that they will have a great opportunity to participate in matches ahead, especially if their team reaches the Emperor's Cup. We again thank the Cafundelense Football Association and the players for considering the NFL for their next season.

The Albrecht Herald Online/Sport/Football/In Brief
Youngsters seek Han chance

The agent of two promising young Candelariasian players has confirmed that they will be flying into the Han Empire tomorrow seeking contracts for the forthcoming season.

Burley right midfielder Mark Powell, 21, declined the offer of a new deal with Castillo FC last month after loosing his place in the side to the club’s single permitted foreign player under new CMSC rules. Also spurning the advances of Abiodun North and Melin & Nader; Powell claimed in an interview last month that his long-term future lay in “a more competitive and rapidly developing league” overseas, leading to speculation that the player has already been offered terms by an NFL club, with Haenam featuring strongly in dispatches.

Pacey left-back Lorenzo De Wilde, 19, who was sacked by KT Hotspur late into last season after failing to turn up to reserve training six session out of eight; is also believed to have travelled with Powell to the Empire. De Wilde dropped ‘unfair dismissal’ claims against the Khatib-based outfit late last week.

Agent Matt Bowen told the Herald that he believed his “boys will be in the running for full C&M recognition within a couple of months”, after benefiting from what he described as “the vastly more sophisticated coaching” on offer in Daehanjeiguk.

From: The CCFM
To: the NFL organizators

We noticed that the names of Song Jongguk and Kim Byeongji are in the list of players available for the draft. So, we are writing to remind you that they aren't available. They are under contract with teams from Cafundéu, so can't be put in the draft. The fact that the name of Kim Yongdae (Clube Imperial player) isn't in the list means that this was just a minor mistake made by your organization, so please understand that this is just a friendly note, as we don't want to see our players linked with other teams.

Song Jongguk has a 4-year contract with Dunboor FC, and is already training there, getting adapted with the his new home.

Kim Byeongji has a 3-year contract with Atlético Insular, and is still in Daehanjeiguk spending the transfer window vacations. He will go to Cafundéu soon.

So, please remove their names from the draft list.

Thanks

The IFA issues a lackadaisical statement inquiring if the Cafundeu issue was printed incorrectly, because as far as we know, the IFA roster has not included either player. Of course, we are grateful that you did send a pleasant reminder, and we furthermore hope that the three players do their clubs a great service.

(ooc: blame the "copy/paste" sheebang; excel doesn't know when to copy and when to paste)

In other news, the Draft Picks are to be announced soon!

From: Senior Secetary Florence Swift
To: the IFA

We're happy that you have been able to procure the requested funds that our football clubs have deemed worthy of the players they are selling. I am quite confident that our players will enjoy their time in the Empire and will come to be great teammates with their fellow footballers. As to a responce to your country not recognizing us as a country, there have been recent changes in the country not to solely fix this issue, but a good deal of issues. As you might of heard the ESF and one of its colonies have merged into a single nation, Valanora. Though its purpose was not to create a more recongizable nation or nation name, it seems to be a byproduct, and Great Leader Tobias has requested that as such, the Empire recognize this new nation and the citizens from this nation. As a token of his appreciation for your anticipated approval of his request, the Patriarch will be sending you 100 bottles of the highly coveted Travesian wine. His greatness hopes that you are able to enjoy and hold it in such high regard as everyone else as done.

~ Health N Happiness

To His Excellency Senior Secretary Florence Swift:

The IFA has already issued its resolution to the matter, thanks in part to your government's current participation in the Oriental Football Cup. We are glad that the Imperial Foreign Ministry was apt enough to grant an exemption, and indeed offer recognition. Moreover, we have passed your request to the Imperial Academy, and they have approved it.

With no other issue barring the trade of your players, we look forward to their welcome and hopefully productive season in the League.

sufficed to say, all of the players have their teams! (but not all of the teams have their players... still working on it, semi-hoping I will get new software that will write in Hangeul and Chinese as easily it is to write in Roman script in the meantime).

A few highlights from the Season:

Seojang 6-5 Hanseong
Heads flew as goals came in from left and right as the two sides battled out for the win. The game was one of the few noted performances by Zwangzug native - Roger Hammers - who scored his first hat trick in the NFL - the official first for any non-Han citizen. However, with such a tipsy match, it was certain to end as a draw until the very last moment, when Yi Hanjae turned the final goal for Seojang.

Cheonjin 5-0 Gamsuk
The only reason why its called a highlight is because of the excellent performance offered by the foreign contingent - Nickel, Padaria, and de Wilde. Collectively, the three helped put Cheonjin up 3-0 at half, with Padaria continuing his marvelous streak in the League. Resistance from Gamsuk failed to dislodge any effort by Cheonjin's attacks, and inevitably the line began to turn grimmer for the visitors. The final shot by Gamsuk - the only shot in fact - came off a penalty off Baek Jihun. The goalkeeper - Yi Haeung - kept his posture and blocked the one shot, keeping the shut-out for the home team.

Sanghae 0-5 Hangyeong
One of the biggest highlights of the tournament was the Sanghae-Hangyeong match; at one point, both teams were the leaders of the NFL at one point during the season, and indeed this was the one match was a must see. As Sanghae won their first encounter away in Hangyeong, the "Imperial" team was eager to return the favor. Edward von Posey demonstrated perhaps his most composed posture as he remained a steadfast wall against Sanghae's continuing attacks throughout the match. On the opposing side, Jeong Jihun - fresh from the OFC - brought in a hat trick, supported wildly by a dangerous midfield, which contributed the remaining two goals of the match. In all, it was a spectacular match, and both sides went away without a single card.

As part of our Season 2 special, we're highlighting the biggest winners and the biggest losers:

Gwangdong - with the support of the Cafundenlese Rafinho - has climbed up 19 places from a low 22 to third place. They've managed to take out the competition with an impressive 21 wins and 72 goals scored. Of course, what remains to be seen is their capability to stand against the perennially stronger teams.

Hanseong - the Hanseong team has made the greatest improvement with the fewest number of changes, rising 19 points as well, from last place to 5th place. The team has taken on a good character, with Yi Yeongpyo emerging as the best player on the team, helping to contribute to their 18 wins this season.

Taehaeng - Taehaeng has made a turn for the worse, having conceded 74 goals in the season. They've since fallen to last place after barely passing out of the Emperor's Cup last season.

Monggol - perhaps a bit neglected by the rest of the Empire, the Emperor Cup debutants last season failed even to make it in the top ten, falling 12 points to 18th place. To say the least, there's still plenty of talent to be found on this team.


And of course, all of these events don't come without a prize. And so now we present the Emperor's Cup!

Final Match:

Cheonjin --- Gwangdong


--- Notes ---
With the reigning champions downed by the current 1st seeds in the NFL, Cheonjin has rose to the challenge and showed its fans that they are capable of running the ball past even one of the best goalkeepers in the league. However, the equally impressive Gwangdong side managed to oust Joseon in the Semifinals, after a shocking 2-0 defeat away. They stole away the match in their sole home match, winning the series by an aggregate 3-4. They have made one of the most steep advances in the league, and they are not to be counted out just yet. Indeed, the final match will be a test of will and the benefit goes to Cheonjin, who wins the right to play at home against a powerful Gwangdong offense and midfield.

""What a day, and in Cheonjin, we watch the number 1 team take on the number 3 team. Even though Hangyeong failed to pass the impressive Cheonjin offense, we are delighted to see both teams present here. This is the first visit for both teams, and despite everything that they have prepared, nothing can adequately set them for the great and monumentous task before them.

And it's kick-off time as Cheonjin seeks to steal both first place and the Grand Prize for this Season. It's remarkable to note that though the Hangyeong Club won the first season Cup, they actually beat out the number 1 seed - Jikyei - in the Semifinals, beating out Sanghae in the Final. This year, Cheonjin prevented the same from happening but we get to see if Gwangdong can make their mark.""

Match:

Cheonjin 1-2 Gwangdong

""And the debutants win the Cup, despite valiant efforts by the Cheonjin side to equalize. Nonetheless, Gwangdong is crowned the Champions of the Emperor's Cup in this second edition.""

Season 3 information will be displayed soon.

The IFA inquires the national teams and home countries of these excellent players to inquire if they are interested in continuing their contract into Season 3, and/or they have any changes that they would like to discuss in their contracts.

Additionally, the NFL is open to having foreign players fill the ranks of our esteemed league; any players inquiring must come from states officially recognized by the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs (which can be easily resolved here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=528461)), and must otherwise be rather good players. This sign-up will terminate sometime after World Cup 38 (of CoH 29) terminates; whichever of the two happens later. Please consult the IFA for more details if interested.

All Valanorians will honor their contracts continueing on into season 3.

Andrew would like to continue his contract into season 3: there are no modifications necessary.

Roger will be retiring following World Cup 37.

[OOC: My players and assorted characters age two years with the passage of every World Cup. So for Roger, two years have passed since he joined Seojang after World Cup 36. I'm not sure if you're doing one season per year, in which case he'd be in the slightly awkward position of having already completed Season 3. But that's fluid time (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Fluid_time) for you. It would certainly be simple to have him retire now, and that's fine by me. Your call.]

Esteemed vegetables,

Both Lorenzo De Wilde and Mark Powell are extremely settled at their respective clubs and would be delighted to continue their contracts into season three.

Further to the comments of our Zwangzugian friends; the islands of the Candelarias also experience a two-year-aging-process, though C&M players abroad are frequently observed to age more in line with their adopted nations. So who knows, really? It hardly matters. I don't know why I'm still talking about it, actually. There's plenty of better things I could be doing.

Yours,

Matt Bowen
Unscrupulous Agent


OOC: I've got De Wilde as aged twenty-three in me Cup of Harmony squad, but knock yerself out. Whatever.:)

As with many things in the Empire, the year only progresses if I say that it has progressed - because time is so fluid. I honestly have no clue when the year has expired, or how many years makes one season, but I'll assume for ease of use that enough time has passed in each of our respective countries that 1 of my NFL seasons has passed, and that 2 of your years have simultaneously passed. It works for now. Also, thanks for verifying the status of your players.

The IFA thanks Zwangzug for the fruitful service of Roger Hammer, and despite a rather tumultuous season with Seojang (just barely missing the Emperor's Cup Playoff), hopes for all Zwangzug players currently participating in the World Cup, that they achieve great success in the Semifinals.

We extend the thanks to the Valanorian Football Association and the Candelaria And Marquez Football Association for their information, and we are extremely pleased that your players have found their tenure to be enjoyable. We hope that they too find success.




A Public Service Announcement:

Plans are currently underway to expand the NFL - to include at least 4 additional teams. Local cities have already applied to host teams, and the IFA is reviewing each and every application. This being the case, the IFA is looking to new foreign players - as well as our talented youth - to help fill these new teams, if and when they are created.

Number of Sortherners looking to play in Sorthern Northland

Following the end of the second Oriental Football Cup a number of players of Chinese/Korean origin in the Sorthern Northland squad currently without a club team will be looking to try their luck in the lands of their fathers, none of the players have a club preference, the players are:

Kim Suk-Yang, a 21 year old goalkeeper.
Li Yang, a 22 year old goalkeeper.

Dong Lee-Si, a 27 year old right-back.
Ju Jaeyang, a 27 year old left-back.
Wang Li, a 23 year old centre-back.
Ju Ju-Lee, 22 year old can play anywhere across the back.

Seol Kim-Hyuk, 25 year old right winger.
Song Lee, 21 year old, can play anywhere in the midfield is very average.

Kang Kan-Kang, 26 year old striker, former member of the national team, looking to get his carer back on track. Can be a class player on his day but has so far failed to live up to expectations.

Also worthy of note, is that the near legendary Feng Shui will be looking to spend a year in Daehanjeiguk following a bust up with his club manager in Sorthern Northland. The player is approaching 86 but despite his age will be a fantastic addition to any team with his superb skill with his feet he is capable of taking any full-back on and delivering a near perfect ball to the box. The old master of Sorthern Northlandish football is also the country's second highest goalscorer and has the best goalscoring ratio for his nation. The player is happy to move to any club in Daehanjeiguk although it should be noted that he would want to be near his family in Gwangdong province.

Every player being a Sorthern Northlander has a fondness for alcohol and we wish to stress to the team managers that Sorthern Northlanders often play better having consumed large amounts of alcohol.

Slightly more detailed profiles of each player can be found enclosed (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13126403&postcount=4).

Your Faithfully,

Mr Head of the SNFA (Players abroad section).

Owing to budgetary restraints and time restrictions, the new teams will not join the NFL for Season 4. But in a wildly popular move, the NFL will incorporate 4 new teams from around the Empire:

Shilla
(of Joseon) - Busan

Ranju
(of Gamsuk Province) - Ranju

Hupei
(of Gangso Province) - Hupei

Seibu
(of Jonamdo) - Seibu

The cities have already drafted plans for the construction of new stadiums to be operable by the start of the next season.

Season 3 will begin on Monday, with the team drafts for Season 4 following soon thereafter - including the 4 new teams.

We apologize for the delays in setting the NFL into Season 3, and we hope that all goes well thereafter.

With the season done, we present the official ranks for Season 3:


Team Rank Points W D L GF GA GD

>>><<<

ooc: To all who care to know, I've created a new ranking system that I hope will prove to be more dynamic in the future. I'm using a combination of XLS and NSFS2.0 to help me get my scores, but as far as a more dynamic score result, I've created this following guide:

Each team will have a final score. This score is composed of three parts: the lifetime ranking of the team, the number of points that the team has accrued in the past three seasons, and the player performance rating.

The lifetime ranking of a team is basically the lifetime ranking of a team: We start with the sum of all the ranks that the team has acquired per season (if there are more than one, the average of the two); divided by the number of seasons plus 1. This number is then divided into the total number of teams in the league times 2.

For example:
It is currently Season 3 for Gamsuk - in Season 1, it had a rank of 15; in Season 2, a rank of 13; in Season 3, a rank of 20. Its lifetime ranking is 48. 48 is divided by 3, plus 1 (17). That number is divided into the total number of teams (soon to be 32) - times 2 (64/17). The Lifetime ranking score for Gamsuk is 3.76.

The number of points is basically the number of points that the team has earned, on a base scale - W=3; D=1; L=0. Since this ranking is starting at Season 3, Season 3 is the first entry in the line - but for each subsequent Season, the number is divided by 10, and then 100. After three seasons, the number of points collected by the teams is negligible and is therefore not used (although if I find that it makes a significant difference, I may extend it to 4 seasons). These numbers are then added together to make the Points Score.

For example:
It is currently Season 3 for Gamsuk - since Season 3 is the start of this ranking system, there is only one entry available for Gamsuk. in Season 3, it accrued 54 points. 54 points would be added to the other entries - if Gamsuk earns 54 points in Season 4, their points score would be 54 plus 54/10 (59.4). It they earned 54 points in Season 5, their points score would be 54 + 54/10 + 54/100 (59.94). But since neither Seasons 4 nor 5 have passed, we only have 54 points.

The player's rating is a dynamic part of this system. Essentially, each player is rated between 1 and 5. The minimum number of points that any player can earn is 1, while the maximum is 5. The team's playing rating score is essentially the sum of all the players' ratings. This number is taken and divided by 11.5 (or whatever is 1/2 of the team's number of players - the standard usually being 23).

For example:
It is currently Season 3 for Gamsuk - Gamsuk's team players are rated at 43 points. That number is divided by 11.5, since Gamsuk has 23 players on its team (43/11.5). Their players score is rated at 3.74.

So Gamsuk's points are 3.76; 54; and 3.74. Gamsuk's Score is basically the sum of these three numbers: 61.50. I'm using this number as a KPB substitute for my NFL teams, which works for me because I'm the only person who's using them - and I can see that this is perhaps a useful tool for others wanting to scorinate their own leagues.

For a standard league with 32 teams, and 2 matches per team, the maximum amount of points that can be possibly accrued is 280.46 - so it's a very versatile system as well - and I like it. Hopefully, it will make my NFL leagues more "realistic" and manageable, relative to ranks and such.

Joseon 5-2 Sanghae
Sanghae 2-2 Joseon
Aggregate: Joseon 7-4 Sanghae

Hangyeong 2-1 Hanseong
Hanseong 1-2 Hangyeong
Aggregate: Hangyeong 4-2 Hanseong

Junggyeong 1-0 Manju
Manju 2-1 Junggyeong (3-2 AET) (Manju wins 2-0 on penalty kicks)
Aggregate: Junggyeong 3-3 Manju

Jikyei 3-3 Gwangdong
Gwangdong 2-2 Jikyei (4-4 AET) (Gwangdong wins 1-0 on penalty kicks)
Aggregate: Jikyei 7-7 Gwangdong


Semifinals

Joseon --- Hangyeong
Manju --- Gwangdong

Joseon 0-2 Hangyeong
Hangyeong 0-0 Joseon
Aggregate: Joseon 0-2 Hangyeong

Manju 1-1 Gwangdong
Gwangdong 4-0 Manju
Aggregate: Manju 1-5 Gwangdong

Final match

Hangyeong --- Gwangdong



The two title champions once again in contention for the 3rd Season Emperor's Cup Title. Hangyeong, after falling out last year to Cheonjin, is looking to recapture their glory. They've been very consistent thusfar, so there is no reason to expect that it will be a great match for them. But Gwangdong, as defending champions, will have much to gain from a win here. Surely, such a match will be difficult for both sides; who will win remains only speculation.

Hangyeong 0-1 Gwangdong


And Season 3 comes to a close, and we'll begin setting up for Season 4!

Thanks for all who loved to watch! Hopefully, Season 4 will be much easier but also much more interesting too.

That said, we're looking for players to participated in the following new teams:
Shilla; Shimyang; Ranju; Hapbi; Seibu; Sanseo; Jeongju; Daenam

A few changes as well:
Daeman = Daebuk

Those wishing to submit players for action in the NFL must submit the following in as simple a manner as possible:

Player name; Player Position; Player Rating (# 1-5, 5 being excellent, 1 being poor); and preferred club.

Thanks for the interest again!

The IFA inquires the national teams and home countries of these excellent players to inquire if they are interested in continuing their contract into Season 4, and/or they have any changes that they would like to discuss in their contracts.

We will also be contacting a few people who expressed interest in participating in the NFL for some of our new teams. We will be contacting them shortly.


The following teams will be looking for international players - preferabbly those who can already speak Haneo or any of its apparently varied dialects (Korean/Chinese...duh...):
Gangso
Gwangdong
Daenam
Ranju
Malla
Sanseo
Seibu
Shingang
Shilla
Shimyang
Jeongju
Junggyeong
Hapbi

That's a lot of teams, so we can accommodate a lot of players.

Andrew will be returning.

Sirs,

Both Lorenzo De Wilde and Mark Powell are like pigs in muck in the Empire, and more than happy to remain on their current terms.

As a licensed agent, I have been instructed to offer the following players:

Fred Ma: The twenty-five year-old creative midfielder of Candelaria Arsenal who has made several appearances for the full C&M side. Playing for a lowly CMSC club, albeit one achieving current success beyond their means, Ma is keen to experience life and football in his ancestral homeland. Given his status (as a ‘4’-standard player), Freddie would prefer to attract Junggyeong or Gwangdong to his contract.

Yong-Michael Shin: Injury and the form of Albrecht FC (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/albrecht_fc.html) strikers Peter Vanderpent and Joe Cunningham has led the (2.4 standard) forward signed for second division football in the summer to stay on the bench. Shin is none the less a lightning quick player keen on a move, not unreasonably, to Shingang.

Eliot Fuetchine: 26-year-old central defender Feutchine is a solid (2.5) midtable player for CandelariaAM keen on being a solid midtable player for Shingang as well. Eliot’s mother was from that Province.

Yours,

Matt Bowen
From a private island off Candelaria’s south coast.

Dear Sir(s),

On the behalf of the players in the NFL, I would like to inform you that Edward van Posey, Mathias Nickel, and Dorian Sonja all wish to remain at their current clubs, while Renai Adai would like a transfer to either Hangyeong or Cheonjin.

Sincerely,
Araul Dargon

It'd be better for Manuel Padaria to retire. He'll stay in Daehanjeiguk, but not as a player (you can give another work for him if you prefer to).

To replace Manuel Padaria, the CCFM will send the defender Marinho.

Marinho, 25 years old, played in União Trabalhadora, Atlético Insular, SC Carnavalesco and had a small opportunity in SC Lasft, but couldn't get much success. He is a strong and tall defender, but is a bit unlucky.

Dear Sir(s),

Some Valerian players, fresh from the national team's stint in the World Cup, have shown some interest in playing abroad.

The nineteen-year-old striker, Ruslan Tarakanov, has shown some capability while playing and assisting Max von Hohenstauffen in the World Cup. Young like the rest of the team, he has much potential. He does still want to be active in the World Cup for the Boyars, though and that is his only request. He speaks some Korean as part of the trilingual education Valerians receive in high school, albeit it is pretty broken.

The nineteen-year-old defender Vasily Aefelstanov is another Boyar interested in playing abroad. The young player is pretty good at speaking Cantonese, since his neighbors next door to his father's shop in Kholmogory were a family of fishmongers from Guangzhou. He is pretty capable and young, easily a player that can become a crucial part of any team's defense.

The eighteen-year-old goalkeep Dimitri Kim is also interested. A Korean Valerian, he is interested in playing for a brief while (one season or two) in a Han team for the right sum; he considers Isangrad to be his beloved homeland. He was a crucial part of the Boyar team defense in the World cup after the starting Goalkeep Dimitri Shchilinov was injured in a game against SLANI - and Kim might become the starting goalie for the next World Cup due to his increased fame in The Valerian Empire. Already, he is on consumer product endorsements across the empire.

The eighteen-year-old midfielder from the Isangrad Legion FC, Arkadiy Ivanovich Chang, has the proud distinction of being a descendant of the Emperor Ivan IV and his Cantonese mistress from about a century ago - he attributes his green eyes and "imperialistic beard" to this. While he did not play for the national team, he is scheduled to become part of the Boyar's bench. He has knowledge of Cantonese and Mandarin along with Valerian (his first language), Russian, and French.

Sincerely,
Diogeniy Favilanovich Astanov
Head of VIFA (Valerian Imperial Football Association)

Several of our older players have been looking to make a move to a foreign team and after holding trials between our players of Han decent we have narrowed it to four players

Iskender Mansiz, 23, Goalkeeper has only conceeded 11 goals in the 23 games he played in for Seyhanspor and is open as a free agent.

Tumur Nuri, 20, Defender Commanding in center back is known as a "Passionant" player.

Hakan Karadeniz, 21, Midfeilder, is able to pull strings and set players up into great positions

Gokdeniz Gunes, 26, Striker, Is a power striker with a predatory instinct in front of goal.

We are please to hear that the players will be accommodating new seasons. We are also pleased to see that many new players are interested in joining the league - tentative discussions have approved the entrance of the following players into the NFL:

Fred Ma >>> Gwangdong
Yong-Michael Shin >>> Shingang
Eliot Fuetchine >>> Shingang
Zeke >>> Ranju
Marinho >>> Cheonjin
Vasily Aefelstanov >>> Gwangju
Dimitri Kim >>> Shilla
Arkadiy Ivanovich Chang >>> Sanghae (we need a playing style modifier for him)
Iskender Mansiz >>> Shingang (we need a playing style modifier for him)
Hakan Karadeniz >>> Shingang (we need a playing style modifier for him)

We wish to the Valanora Football Federation that a current deal between Haenam and Hangyeong is being arranged for a transfer for this next season - further details are not available.

The other players were not selected not because of a lack of talent, but because of a lack of resources to acquire the players in question. We hope that the players nonetheless continue their interest and try next season; we will keep them on our priority list. In the meantime, we hope that they find suitable clubs to continue honing their skills.

VIFA is most excited to have some players play abroad for a few seasons.

Arkadiy Chang's playing modifier is -1.

Iskender Mansiz style -3
Hakan Karadeniz style +1

ooc: I asked for a style number, which is a number between 1 and 5. Nonetheless, I took the numbers I got and made up more appropriate numbers. Thanks for the interest thus far! Since I'm now done with the CoH, I'm beginning to prepare for the OFC III, and afterwards, NFL IV is on my list.

Any other players interested in playing overseas?

Also, on behalf of the Cheonjin FC management, the IFA would like to appeal to Manuel Padaria of Cafundeu to stay with the club as a training assistant. We were impressed with his quality of play, and we see a clear potential for his skills to improve the playing spirit in the Empire. The Cheonjin FC Board believes that given sufficient time, Padaria can become an effective coach, and we would like to see him through.

Additionally, Haenam and Hangyeong have arranged a deal to transfer Renai Adai to Hangyeong - reflecting the wishes of the player and his home Valanora Football Federation.

If there are any other modifications, we would like to know as soon as possible, so we may accommodate them.

Fix Foster - 33 year old Jeruselem defender (and multiple World Cup player) is looking for new club to play in for her retirement years. She's retired from international football and should be able to commit to the full-time.

(She's actually a half-Jeruselemite/Qazoxian)

Season Highlights:

Gangso - having climbed from 15th place to 4th place, Gangso is the team to beat now. Boasting a home-grown contingent, the team has managed to beat out Hangyeong (2-1) and stayed out for a draw against Gwangdond (1-1). With a few notable falls early in the season, the team has made a few critical wins this past season, making them unlikely candidates for the Emperor's Cup at the end of the season.

Cheonjin - after a shaky season last year, Cheonjin has managed to turn things around with a new host of foreign players. Now in third place, Cheonjin started out the season on a 11-match streak without losing before falling out against Shimyang (0-3) at home. But for much of the season, it has been a contest between Sandong and Cheonjin for first position, and this season, the team looks to make a statement to make its way to the Emperor's Cup again.

Season 4 will end momentarily, so thanks for the attention.

What the heck is that?

sorry for the late reply...

The heck is Korean.

Congratz to Gwangdong for winning their third consecutive Emperor's Cup!

A couple Dancougar national teamers will be hoping to catch the interest of foreign clubs in the upcoming Cup of Harmony. Ages vary from 21 to 23, with some graduating from college right before the Cup begins, while others have been graduated for about year and playing exclusively for the national team.

Hopefuls include:

Peter Hawkins - GK (3)
Tony Travers - D (2)
Terrance Dominica - D (3)
Hikaru Waya - M (3)
Akira Morimoto - M (4)
Boris Boskov - M (3)

At this point, transfers and sales are now open in the NFL. Any interest in playing the Han Empire is open until the Season starts (and I swear I will have a roster for each team by Season 7...).

All those who have stated their interest already need not apply again (as I already have them). Alterations will be considered as well.

Zeke will stay in Ranju for a couple more years i bbelive hes now 36.

The IFA and NFL would like to confirm a transfer of current Jonam striker, Kim Mihyeon, to the Candelarian football club, Castillo FC. The details of his transfer are not yet disclosed, although it is likely expected that no players will be exchanged - instead, it is likely that Jonam will receive financial compensation for the transfer.

On another note, we are keeping the transfer and sales window open until sometime after the end of the OFCIV but before the World Cup Qualifiers begin. Season 5 will begin and end hopefully before all of that (and if not, we guarantee that your national players will be available for all of your qualifying matches...).

The NFL is currently looking at the following players for consideration, although deals have not been finalized yet:

Brian Ying Uing (22) - M
World B. Free (24) - M
Peter Hawkins - GK
Akira Morimoto - M
Boris Boskov - M

(points have been omitted for confidentiality reasons...)

Additionally, we need to confirm whether the following players will continue to participate in the NFL:


Player Team Pos Country
Seol Kim-hyuk Gangso M Sorthern Northland
Vasily Aefelstanov Gwangdong D Magnus Valerius
Rafinha Gwangdong M Cafundeu

Also, we would like to offer Manuel Padaria an opportunity to become the first foreign coach in the Han Empire. His services as an assistant this past season was phenomenal for Cheonjin, even though they fell out in the semifinals to Gwangdong.

All six Sorthern players (Seol Kim-Hyuk, Xeng Xung (who seems to be down as Xeng Xeng for some reason), Kim Min-Kim, Wang Li, Li Yang and Jing Mao) would all like to stay in the NFL.

OCC: Vahala Quan is from Demot

IC: All players from Valanora wish to remain on their current NFL clubs.

OCC: Vahala Quan is from Demot.

argh... okay, will be fixed.

Think you might have it backwards-Roger's been retired for a couple Cups. Defender Andrew Card would like to continue playing for Joseon, and hope time dilation keeps him young enough to stick around for a while. :p

The four Candelariasian players are all more than happy to remain in the NFL as long as they're wanted.

The Democratic People's Isolationist Republic of Lorenzo De Wilde's single representative in the competition, one Lorenzo De Wilde, is also keen on another season. He was also a C&M national team defender last time I looked, unless he's gone and become the new John Charles behind my back. :D

zeke be back, you can have all the players make your own deals and your not considering tad

Didn't you hear? Lorenzo De Wilde became disillusioned and created his own country on some Internet website. Now he proclaims himself the proud Democratic Autocrat of the Democratic People's Isolationist Republic of Lorenzo De Wilde. I have no clue who this "John Charles" of whom you speak is.

The NFL is currently looking at the following players for consideration, although deals have not been finalized yet:

Peter Hawkins - GK
Akira Morimoto - M
Boris Boskov - M

Any news? I ask only because the WC40 roster thread is up, and I want to know if they're getting called back after a few years abroad, or if they ended up just wasting away somewhere after graduating ^_^

The Cafundelense players will stay in their clubs in Daehanjeiguk. Manuel Padaria also accepts an offer to be a coach.

There's an error in the players' positions: Kemp is an attacker, Rafinha is an attacker, Marinho's a defender.

By the way, the next season will probably by the last one of Gustavo Kemp as a player.

It's amusing how I've run across these marvelous errors...

Anyhow, the NFL transfers and sales will remain open until this Sunday at around this time (or whenever I say so at that time).

FYI, if I've said that we're interested in it, it means we're buying it; rest assured, your players will play :D

Another FYI, 1 season = 1 WC = 4 years(?) ~ 1 Han Year (= 60 RL days)

Ugh, I hate this time stuff. Just presume that your guys play one entire season and they've aged one of your years - that's how it should be done according to my system.

Transfers and Sales are now closed, as Season 5 begins.

The following players have been recruited by the following teams:

Brian Ying Uing Sanseo M

Administrative Notes:

My new ranking system is working very well. Although I am still lacking player names for virtually 75% of my available slots (I imagine it's hard to make up new names that make any sense), I'm now moving on to my next stage of introducing coaches for my teams. It comes at a pivotal time, since 6 seasons will mean 6 Han years (roughly - 1 Han year = 60 RL days) and that means that players will be retiring soon. And they will become new coaches. And somehow I will have names for all of them. I might consider investing in technology that slows aging and keep my players for another thirty or forty years...

Anyway, I'm also considering posting information by matchday, to make it more relatable, but following that first season fiasco, I'm still reluctant to make 62 posts per league season...

Anyway, I'm also considering posting information by matchday, to make it more relatable, but following that first season fiasco, I'm still reluctant to make 62 posts per league season...Candelaria And Marquez, Kura-Pelland, and I follow the same pattern-one post contains as much as can fit, with matchdays edited in day-by-day. I recommend it, anyhow. ;)

(ooc: Thanks for the suggestion. That still leaves me with making modifications several times, and I'm not sure if I can handle it with 62 different matchdays - still, one post does sound a lot better than several)

Emperor's Cup Quarterfinals

Hangyeong(1) --- (8)Haenam
Cheonjin(2) --- (7)Hogwang
Junggyeong(3) --- (6)Sanghae
Gangso(4) --- (5)Shilla

Surprises abound this season as the champions of the past 3 cups - Gwangdong - fail to even reach the Emperor's Cup this year. Meanwhile. Shilla, Haenam, and Junggyeong make their first appearance in the Cup, a surprise for Shilla as they were one of the 8 new teams added last season, even though last year they managed to make it to the top 10. Unfortunately, more teams increases the competition for the coveted first 8 spots that go on to win or lose the trophy. Despite the surprises, heavyweights Hangyeong, Cheonjin, and Sanghae made the spots, while Gangso makes their second try.

Current projections favor Hangyeong to play in the final match and win their second trophy.

Hangyeong 3-1 Haenam
Haenam 1-1 Hangyeong
Aggregate: Hangyeong 4-2 Haenam

Cheonjin 1-1 Hogwang
Hogwang 1-1 Cheonjin (1-1 AET) (Hogwang wins 3-0 on penalty kicks)
Aggregate: Cheonjin 2-2 Hogwang

Junggyeong 3-3 Sanghae
Sanghae 0-1 Junggyeong
Aggregate: Junggyeong 4-3 Sanghae

Gangso 1-3 Shilla
Shilla 4-1 Gangso
Aggregate: Gangso 2-7 Shilla


Semifinals:

Hangyeong --- Shilla
Hogwang --- Junggyeong


Surprises! Shilla manage to overcome strong odds to obliterate Gangso completely, winning 7-2 on aggregate. Shilla seems to have shown their dominance is clearly placed, but going against the top seeded Hangyeong team will be difficult to manage. In fact, Hangyeong is almost expected to streamroll through in a similar manage as Shilla did. Hogwang overpowering Cheonjin was yet another surprise; inevitably, the two teams were pressed for goals and suffered the torture of penalty kicks, which Hogwang won comfortably. And finally, Junggyeong - once a team considered too poor to make any difference in the League nearly three seasons ago - managed to push out Sanghae after a very difficult contest at home. Hogwang and Junggyeong will have the comfort of knowing that they are two equally matched teams, meaning that this semifinals will be eagerly interesting to see who moves to the Final Match.

Hangyeong 2-1 Shilla
Shilla 2-2 Hangyeong
Aggregate: Hangyeong 4-3 Shilla

Hogwang 0-1 Junggyeong
Junggyeong 0-1 Hogwang (0-1 AET) (Junggyeong wins 1-0 on penalty kicks)
Aggregate: Hogwang 1-1 Junggyeong

Final Match

Hangyeong --- Jungyeong

There are no statistics for the Efronmurillan Football Association Premier League this week following the death of Rhys Maisey the nation's most revered footbal player.

He died in a car crash at 06:30 Efronmurillan Standard Time after an intoxicated driver swerved in front of his car.
As the nation mourns the league has been suspended up until his funeral. May he be remembered always and may his killer face justice.

Administrative notes:

The Transfers Season in the Han Empire has begun, and it's time for people who want to come into the Han Empire to come! We're opening every team to professional players, and we're interested a whole variety of foreign players to apply. It does not matter if they play on the National Team; I'm personally interested in filling my rosters with competent players instead of empty spaces.

As an added bonus, since coaches now affect their teams, I'm opening the coach position as well. It is my hope that I can start posting individual stats, so I can have dynamic player information, and so you can enjoy the rise (and fall) of your overseas stars, instead of just club information.

The information that I will need as follows:

Player name
Player age
Player rating (number between 1 and 5)
Player position

Any submission that does not comply with the aforementioned style of submission will be ignored; since I've had to fill out empty squares in my tables, if you don't do it, I won't do it either.

For coach applications, for player position, type "Coach".

Have fun! Transfers Season will end at the start of the BoF for WC41.

Also, the following players need to verify their status for Season 6.

FYI, there are great plans in store for Season 8 (which in Mandarin sounds like the word for "fortune").

Continuing the search for transfers and sales...


Also, if anyone is interested in getting Han players, let me know. I'll get a list of Han players that want to play overseas. The more competitive your league is, the more likely they'll accept.

Once the CoH Group Stage is done, I'll close the transfers and set up Season 6 for another grand-slam performance.

Season 7 for the NFL of the Han Empire will see the introduction of 8 more teams - one among these, Sanghae Gukjei (otherwise known as Sanghae International, not Sanghae Imperial - sounds the same though).

The team is completely devoted to the principal that foreign players should have an opportunity to play in the Han Empire, and in cooperation with the Academy of Foreign Affairs (also based in Sanghae, incidentally...), the team is going to be having a field day with foreign players at the close of Season 6. In the meantime, the team is looking for a foreign corporate sponsor and a foreign kit maker. To be eligible for either, the main parent country of the company making a corporate offer must (I repeat! MUST) be a state recognized by the Academy (that is, you're on this list (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12720987&postcount=2)). If you're not on that list, and want to make an offer, you must be first recognized. The criteria for corporate sponsor are as follows:

* Your host country must be recognized by the Academy of Foreign Affairs.
* You must be posting profits for the past 5 quarters.
* You must be willing to cooperate with the Academy of Imperial Contracts.
* You must have a name that is easy-to-transliterate name or provide an acceptable alternative name for your company in Han script.
* If you wish to have your corporate logo display, it must also follow the criteria for company name.
* Unless by mutual agreement, Sanghae Gukjei will NEVER leave Sanghae for another city/country; a new stadium, after consultation with the proper authorities, is admissible.
* Unless by mutual consent, Sanghae Gukjei will NEVER change its name to anything else.


In ooc terms, this is an opportunity to own a team in the NFL. You get to choose your players, you get to draft new players from abroad, and basically anything else except move the team from the city. If you wanted to do so, you could field a team of players from your home country; I wouldn't encourage it, but it's your choice. If I see enough interest, I might have more foreign-sponsored teams in the NFL, but that's for another time. Season 8 is already proving to be a great leap forward.

CAPITALIZT CONSOLIDATED CONGLOMERATION CORPORATION
3800 Elm St, Aeropag, Jativa, U.C.S.

Capitalizt Consolidated Conglomeration Corporation (commonly known as C4; 시넷 in Hangeul) is interested in the sponsorship of Sanghae Gukjei. C4 is the largest manufacturer of household goods, sports equipment, electronics, and other items in the Unified Capitalizt States. We have recently updated our branding in preparation for an expanded presence in other countries, and view this sponsorship arrangement as an ideal way to get started in the Han market.

As we understand that Sanghae Gukjei is also in need of a kit manufacturer, we offer our services in this area as well. Our designers have created a logo and kit designs for the club, pictured below, which can be altered if the club has already selected a color scheme or logo. The kit deal would not be contingent of C4’s sponsorship of the club.

http://www.thirdgeek.com/ns/worldcup/kits/sanghae/41/

We look forward to working with you to finalize an arrangement.

Ethan Campbell
Director of Marketing, C4

well you certainly don't waste any time.

The Sanghae Gukjei Board:

To Ethan Campbell,
Director of Marketing, C4;

We have received your offer, and honestly, we are amazed at the quality of the offer. We are naturally inclined to accept it, but we are also looking to open the opportunity to other corporations from many countries. Another of your country's corporations may be interested, and immediately accepting C4's corporate sponsorship is a deathblow to these opportunities. We are pleased to see a quick and powerful response to our call, and the Board have all agreed that C4 ranks high among our choice of sponsors. If we cannot receive any more quality offers, C4 has the contract.

We also wish to pose some questions. If C4 were to receive our endorsement, would the company be willing to pay for the construction of a new IFA-affiliated stadium for the team? If so, at what capacity? What location in the city (RL Shanghai)? How much would tickets cost? We are eager to bring foreign sponsors here, but we want to make sure that these foreign sponsors are also accessible to the fans and the people of the Empire. These factors are among those that we consider to be important when making our final choice.

Of course, we have time to wait, and as the IFA has approved the entrance of Sanghae Gukjei in Season 7 (it is currently the pre-season for Season 6), we have approximately 2 years before anything can be done. We hope that by the time Season 6 is half-way through, that we will have ample offers to make an informed decision.

The Board of Trustees, Sanghae Gukjei

A few handy points about people who are interested in buying sponsorships in the NFL...

1. Yes. You really have to be recognized by me. No, that does not mean you don't exist; it just means that I don't have any way by my administrative languages (Korean/Chinese) to call you. And nothing comes in without a faint way to call anything. Official recognition is basically me having a uniform way to call you something without a billion people making up their own words (and it does happen...).

2. No. you can't buy teams that are already in existence, since they are currently sponsored by the provinces/cities that host them. However, I am opening the list for 8 new teams to join the NFL in Season 7, to put the list full at a whopping 40 teams (all of this in preparation of the grand Season 8 - which is still giving me jitters - if I'm lucky, it will open the same day as the Beijing Olympics 08/08/08).

3. If you are interested in sponsoring a team in the Han Empire, there are a few steps to take. First of all, verify that you are recognized by me. Second, after recognition, post an interest statement here (or send me TG - we'll talk annd then you post an interest statement; in the end, you are still posting something here). Your company must also have a name by which Han citizens call you, so if you don't have a clue (trust when I say it, Korean is much easier than Chinese, so look for Korean translators first), ask me and I'll help out.

4. If I get enough interest, I'll open the remaining 8 blocks opened for Season 7 to competitive corporate bidding. We don't discriminate on political/economic/social/religious/etc. ideologies, although you'd better make sure that you've got happy IC relations with the Han. I will not open more than 8 blocks to competitive bidding at this time.

5. I'll disclose more information about how this will work once Season 6 is underway - and yes. It is Season 6, so we have another World Cup to go through before you see "your" teams in play in the NFL. Nonetheless, with the interest that's brimming at the AFA, I'm pretty certain that the NFL is about to become a bit more internationally renowned. I'm pleased regardless with the interested parties and their enthusiasm; it gives me even more jitters as I prepare for Season 8.

Relevant Sirs,

Just to clarify, in as quick and uninteresting a way as possible, that Ma, Fuetchine, Shin and Powell are happy to sign up for another season (though their ages may make Season 7 campaigns unlikely… we’ll have to check when we get a spare moment).

As for the unfortunate De Wilde, while he remains awol he would obviously be unavailable to Cheonjin, who would be well within their rights to cancel his contract forthwith. In either case, rest assured that we are diverting as much attention as possible to determining De Wilde’s whereabouts and future post haste.

Due to the issues surrounding the player, further Candelariasians are unwilling at this time to put themselves forward for moves. Hopefully we’ll be able to return to normal footballing relations by the start of S7.

Yours,

Freddie Painter
CAMAFA Director of Missing

Taeshan would be interested in owning a team. Im on the list but it seems my existence is unconfirmed. So what now.

Taeshan would be interested in owning a team. Im on the list but it seems my existence is unconfirmed. So what now.

I probably added you during OFC II and never took off the unconfirmed tags... or something. Anyway, the tag has been removed.

Transfer Season will end at the end of the World Cup (for administrative reasons...) Also, any interested parties wanting additional teams should contact me via TG to see which cities would be interested in hosting an International team (in addition to their "state-sponsored" team...)

Transfers are now closed!

The following players have been admitted to the following teams after fierce competition by teams:

Player Team Pos
Kylie La Brai Cheonjin GK
Maria Cruz-Preli Gangso D
Tenesha Evelo Shilla M
Mary Magary Taehaeng M
Adam Savage Hangyeong M
Scarlet Ferris Cheonjin M
Zeke Jr. Ranju M
Willow Farmwald Gwangdong F
Sebasťan Podolsky Shilla F
Seth McKinleay Ranju C

Also, if anyone cares (besides C&M of course), Lorenzo de Wilde is barred from participating in the NFL for the rest of his natural life - which implies that if he could be resurrected and in the meantime recanted his beliefs in anarchist ideologies, he could play again in the NFL, but I highly doubt that it will happen.

Season 6 begins tomorrow!

Highlights of the Season

None really. But we'll try anyway:

Round 26
Sandong 4-5 Joseon

Heavyweights of seasons past, the two made for an entertaining and thrilling fight as the two sides battled through 4 equalizers before Joseon settled the final shot. Despite losing the match, Sandong fans were equally impressed at their offensive power as well as their opponents resolve to finish on top. No incidents were reported, following the match, but I can tell you Sandong fans started to cheer on Joseon in whenever the two sides were duking against each other.

Round 47
Shilla 1-0 Hangyeong

Yeah, sure. Impressive. Shilla wins, 1-0. Not quite so, though. It was well past the mid-stage of the NFL, and both Shilla and Hangyeong were locked in a tight race for 1st position, each team holding out with 88 points each. They had managed to equal each other for a long time before arriving at this moment. Having won out the first match away at Hangyeong, Shilla was looking to win the series for the season, as well as push ahead. Hangyeong, on the other hand, were looking to avenge their defeat and steal the lead position. In all, they were disappointed by the lone strike from An Pilrip that sent Shilla ahead to win and to seize control of the lead position. Unfortunately for Shilla, they would later lose out in the race, conceding the pole position three rounds later. Hangyeong would stay at the pole position, despite a three-match losing streak near the close of the season and win the league again.



The Emperor's Cup
Hangyeong (1) --- (8) Junggyeong
Shilla (2) --- (7) Wunnam
Cheonjin (3) --- (6) Taehaeng
Jikyei (4) --- (5) Gangso

Well, here's to a very exciting, very intense, very abbreviated Season 6! Here's to Season 7 being the great stepping stone for Season 8 :D

A Public Broadcast by the IFA:

With the final days of Season 6 coming, Season 7 is opening up, and the planned expansion of the NFL to include 8 additional teams has already been filled with one team - Sanghae Gukjei, following the Board of Trustee's standing acceptance to an acceptance of a corporate offer of sponsorship and ownership.

At the moment, we are pleased to announce that 7 additional teams are open to enter the League, and a number of host cities are willing to host them.

Hangyeong (RL Beijing)
Junggyeong (RL Chongqing)
Gwangju (RL Guangzhou)
Seoan (RL Xian)
Hanseong (RL Seoul)
Pyeongyang (RL Pyeongyang)
Malnira (RL Manilla)

If you are looking for other cities in which to host, please contact the IFA coordinator (i.e. me) via telegrams, however archaic the method may seem to be.

I would be interested in owning the Pyeongyang team.

The Orcinus Corporation

The Orcinus Corporation (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/orcinus.html) is one of the leading drinks manufacturers in the world, exporting the finest vodka, malted beverages and soft drinks in all of Atlantian Oceania. Famous for its silver label with an outline of a Killer Whale on it (Orcinus Orca being the official species name for the Killer Whale), its smooth taste and powerful kick make it a popular clubbing drink in Vodka Bars across Starblaydia. Orca Bars are popular across the nation and serve only Orcinus Vodka and other Orcinus-brand products, such as FKB 'alcopops' and Orca-Cola. It is one of the biggest companies in Starblaydia.

Orcinus has a long history of involvement in football through sponsorship and ownership of football teams and competitions. It has formerly owned the Honsfield Athletic FC (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/honsfield_athletic.html) team of Nedalia, providing the funds and expertise to take them to the league title in Season Five (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/premier_league_year_five.html). Orcinus also is the founder of the Orca-Cola leagues for Under-16, Under-12 and Under-8 teams in Starblaydia, as well as the major sponsor of the Corinthian Spirits side in Liga Starblaydia.

Orcinus sees this as the perfect opportunity to expand its footballing portfolio by acquiring a foreign club side to both expand the beauty of football and the market for Orcinus products.

Ideally Orcinus would be looking to purchase a team from Seoan, feeling that the contemporary culture combined with the ancient tradition displayed by the city is a perfect cultural match for Starblaydia itself. This team also would have their kits sponsored by the Starblaydi sportswear company ediraf, the premier sports apparel makers in the world, in addition to their primary shirt sponsorship of Orcinus itself.

As indicators of our interest, we would like to display our operating profits for the last five Quarters. These are, of course, bouyed by the successes of recent World Cup-related tournaments in Starblaydia, though comparative figures are also given.

Most Recent Quarter: Ψ1.4 Billion/$1.2 Billion (up from Ψ1.1 Billion/$935 Billion equivalent previous year)
Quarter Two: Ψ2.1 Billion/$1.79 Billion
Quarter Three: Ψ1.8 Billion/$1.3 Billion
Quarter Four: Ψ1.4 Billion/$1.2 Billion
Quarter Five: Ψ1.1 Billion/$935 Billion

General responses to the following:

Taeshan:

*Tae-mart does what?
*Tae-mart has an official Han translated name?
*Tae-mart is willing to arrange the purchase of official team kits?
*Please tidy your bid up and explain why you want to host this corporate sponsorship.

KTT
*TeleKT does what?
*Did we ever go through an official recognition stage?
*TeleKT has an official Han translated name?
*TeleKT is willing to arrange the purchase of official team kits?
*Please make a more formal bid and explain why you want to host this corporate sponsorship.

STR
*Orcinus has an official Han translated name?


If you need help making a bid, please let me know (TGs are okay). If you need a Han translated name (which includes all of you), if you need help with that, ask me and I'll transliterate (not translate...). Otherwise, keep up the good work :D.

Pyeongyang, Hangyeong, and Seoan are all working at the moment to introduce their own "International" teams, and as such, there are bids for the following teams to enter Season 7:

Sanghae Gukjei (sponsored by C4);
Pyeongyang Gukjei (sponsored by Tae-mart, if the bid is furnished);
Hangyeong Gukjei (sponsored by TeleKT, if the bid is furnished and relations with KTT are formalized);
Seoan Gukjei (sponsored by Orcinus, if the bid is furnished).

Any other takers at the moment?

Taeupward squigly line curved in,straight dash down, downward curved outward line.Then some weird messed up jiggly thing. Thats what i found at Babelfish.com

T-Mart is the official Wal-mart of Taeshan.(the exact same things as a wal-mart has though with huge books and electronics sections)

We qare looking to by the kits from T4(nethertopia)if he gets back with my other jerseys and stuff.

Viella Incorporated (Waella (왤라), a Vyintanese electronic software and hardware manufacturing company, is interested in purchasing one of the new international teams. Based in Ibini, Vyinta's capital, they are the leading manufacturers in the Commonwealth of Valanora. Their leading products include: computer monitors, televisions, and entertainment systems, such as the VRA3. Having good relations with the kit-making company of JMC in Kryte... West Starblaydia, they are more than able to negotiate the purchase of kits for the squad. If possible, they would like to be the owners of the team in Hanseong. As requested, listed below are the earnings of the last five quarters.

Last 5 Quarter Earnings
Spring 20,006: 1.21 million silver coins (sc)
Summer 20,006: 1.89 million sc
Fall 20,006: 1.87 million sc
Winter 20,006: 2.34 million sc
Spring 20,007: 1.45 million sc

OCC: 1 silver coin = US$500

The Board of Trustees for the bid over Hanseong Gukjei accepts the invitation by Viella Incorporated for ownership over the team. Once the Emperor's Cup ends for Season 6, we will wish your corporate sponsors much luck in preparing the team.


At moment, we have the following teams set for Season 7.

Sanghae Gukjei (C4)
Hanseong Gukjei (Viella)

We also have the following teams under bid:

Pyeongyang (Tae-mart)
Hangyeong (TeleKT)
Seoan (Orcinus)



@ Taeshan:

tae小店 is unacceptable. For your information, that latter weird messed up jiggly thing means "shop". In essence, you've just offered to name your company "little shop". If you need help with this, please contact me via TGs.

(OOC: If it is Ok I will use the Han writing that you gave me since I am incapable of actually seeing Chinese on my computer)

Greetings,

We of TeleKT (통신KT) would like to bid for the Hangyeong team. We are the leading Telecommunication provider in KTT and are also most famous for being a mobile phone network provider providing 90% of the nations mobile phone's with access to: The Internet, Music Downloads and Latest Sports Updates for the top 5 divisions in KTT and have recently made a bid for the leading digital TV provider in KTT DigiKose and have signed a new sponsorship deal with the Super Lig to rename it the TeleKT Super Lig. We would probably look to the Starblaydi Kit makers of ediraf to make our kit's for the team and if they are not willing we would look to T4.

Last 5 Quarters:
1 KL = 1.25 USD
Most Recent: 9.6 Billion Kosenic Lira (KL)
Quarter 4: 4.3 Billion KL
Quarter 3: 5.3 Billion KL
Quarter 2: 1.1 Billion KL
Quarter 1: 325 Million KL

The list has been now updated to the following:

Sanghae Gukjei (C4)
Hanseong Gukjei (Viella)
Hangyeong (TeleKT)
Seoan (Orcinus)

We are stitll awaiting a valid bid from Tae-mart, although we are fairly confident that with more discussion, a final bid can be realized.

Hangyeong --- Shilla


Well, well!!! It's a rematch of the League rivalry for Season 6! Hangyeong won the league, but where it matters, Shilla won both the home and away fixtures against Hangyeong, so it will be the home side that will be looking to exact revenge for their humiliations. Hangyeong also will be looking to capitalize on its first season success and win their second Emperor's Cup. Shilla, on the other hand, will look to put away their doubts in coming up second against Hangyeong and win the Cup altogether. For a team in it's second season, the team has made remarkable progress. And there's also the long standing fact that no first-placed team has won the Emperor's Cup yet. Will Hangyeong break this tradition, or will Shilla humiliate them once more?

So I've gotten a few statements and I guess questions.

About your teams. Aside from the obvious "You can't move the team"; "You can't change the name"; and "You can't do anything involving something extremely special without consulting the Board of Trustees (i.e. me)"; The teams are yours. As in, yours.

You are free to select players for your teams. You can import them from your home country. If you're really competitive, you can scout other leagues/countries and import them into the NFL. I'll also have a list of Han players wanting to make this stake in the NFL open (and a lot of ethnic-Han players in your league would make the fans more sympathetic, especially you're going to have competition from your local home-based team), but as far as selecting the players, you're free to do as you please. Bring in your own coaches, hire a foreign (or a Han) coach, build a new stadium (otherwise play at the same stadium as the other home-grown side...). You just have to make sure that the players are confirmed by the IFA first (to avoid having another episode involving anarchist football players)! Also, you can try trading players with other teams (including those under my control - hard to do if I'm the only person with the full list of rosters...which are disappointingly not too full...).

In essence, they're your teams. Do as you please with them - just be aware that since these are public teams, you will have to satisfy the Board of Trustees (and the fans) - otherwise, they'll think that you're wasting money on some pointless endeavor (and hopefully you'll think the same and do some switchers). Be competitive about it! Because Season 7 is going to be the defining point from which all future seasons shall be decided :D. And I'm keeping that a secret until Season 8 is finally upon us :D. I'm jittery about it now...

can you post the official players thatr are from other countries and are playing for your teams. I would like to see it in case i want to move some players to my team. Also im sorry about the complete lack of my incapableness towards writing other languages on my stupid computer.

Hangyeong 1-1 Shilla (1-2 a.e.t)

Shilla wins the 6th Season of the Emperor's Cup!

And with that, we will close out Season 6, and make way for Season 7. Transfer and Sales Season!!!



And to those who are curious, yes, 3 more teams open to international corporate sponsors, as long as they satisfy Imperial Football Association requirements.

To address Taeshan's comment, I did mention that I would be posting the list of rosters as soon as possible. To make things easier for myself (and others), team rosters are limited to the 16 players that will be on the "primary" team, with a long list of alternates not to be disclosed to the public until I decide to finally find names for all of those people.

Also, if you're interested in sending your players to the Han Empire, I'll be glad to accept them. If you want Han players to play for you, ask us! And if you want chili dogs and pizza, go find somewhere else.

I'll try posting the list of players in the next couple of days.

Dancougar players interested in workouts:

D - Saji Hijikata (2/5)
M - Kevin Underwood (3/5)
M - Patrick Vistula (2/5)
M - Benjamin Whittaker (3/5)
M - Mike Tuscany (3/5)
F - Ryan Adelaide (3/5)
F - Greg Littlefield (3/5)
F - Lenny Manchester (3/5)

The search goes on for players! Any other takers looking for experience/fame in the NFL? Maybe with one of our new "International" teams?

(the rosters will be updated here eventually...)

The Transfer Season for the NFL will end at the close of the BoF.

Since the International Teams are under the authority of the various corporations that have won the bids for the teams, they are responsible for giving me a team (otherwise, I will have ghosts playing for them, and ghosts don't really play that well...)

If I don't get the list of players in the NFL, I will delay the end of Transfer Season until I get the list, after which I will wait for 7 days for the end of Transfers. Hopefully, I'll be done with it soon (and it's moreorless me trying to fill the rosters with "real" people).

Seoan Gukjei (서안국제) Press Release
Seoan Staff & International Players Announced

The owners of Seoan Gukjei are aware that not only are they building a club for the future, a focal point around which a city can forge a dream and an identity, but also developing a highly successful global brand and bringing two cultures together. As such, there will, of course, be a strong Starblaydi contingent in the history of Seoan that has yet to be written.

As such, Seoan Gukjei are proud to announce their management team for their upcoming debut season:

Head Coach: Lii Chong-sun. Lii is a thirty-five year-old veteran striker of international football, having appeared 44 times for his country, scoring ten times - most recently at the Fifth Oriental Football Cup. Lii also has extensive Under-21 playing experience, having appeared 14 times and scored on four occasions for the Starblaydia Under-21s. He played throughout his career at the Starblaydi side 'Internashionale', and the diminutive striker was one of the first true Han-descended players to represent Starblaydia at international level. Though he is relatively inexperienced as a team Manager, he will have help from...

Director of Football: Betanii Marrones. The fifty-eight year-old Marrones comes directly from managing the Starblaydia national football team in World Cup 40. She originially had taken over her national side after a decade-long hiatus and took them from an Unranked nation to a Quarter-Final of a World Cup in just three tournaments, via a Runners-Up spot in the Baptism of Fire. Her mastery of the game is unrivaled in the list of current Starblaydi managers, and she is a name that many will instantly recognise as simply an excellent manager. She was the first woman to Captain the Starblaydi side in a World Cup, winning forty-eight caps and scoring six goals in the process as a Central Defender.

And, finally, the two high-profile Starblaydi coaches bring with them the following two players:

Fenchurch "Fenny" Bentley, Striker/Right-Winger, 26
Fenny is transferred to Seoan from the Hernsworth Cubs, a Nova Britannican team who topped Liga Starblaydia's Beta Division in the 2078 season (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13722357&postcount=1740). She was the Player of the Season in that division, and had put herself in the shop window with a series of excellent displays as they put themselves back into the top tier of Starblaydi football. She has won 18 senior caps, scoring 2 goals along the way, and is looking for a springboard to re-start her international career after a great domestic season in the run-up to World Cup 41.

Batou Nakamura, Right/Left/Centre Midfielder, 25
Batou is the Han Idol of Starblaydia, their creative midfield driving force, a two-footed god of a player. He has the ability to play anywhere in midfield and take Starblaydia onwards to goals and glory. After having led Hallad Reavers to the Liga Starblaydia Championship, he was named Midfielder and Player of the Season. In forty-three games he has scored ten goals already and comes to Seoan to Captain this new side as part of a fresh challenge that he cannot resist. Nakamura has the potential to be Starblaydia's first post-hiatus superstar, and he is quickly realising that promise on the pitch.

Other players, both local and foreign, will be announced in due time on the Seoan Roster, but these four Starblaydi names will certainly grab the headlines at home and abroad, with just the 'Undisclosed' price tag dangling in the air for the press. The rumour is, however, that these four came at an astronomical price, but their value to the fledgling team cannot be underestimated.

Weres the official list of international players and Han players looking for jobs

Keep sending me your players!

Also, administrative notes about the rosters, they should be up by the end of this weekend (if not, the Transfer Season will be continued). The teams will be presented in "alphabetical" order (really, in Hangeul-alphabetical order).

If I don't get bids for the final three spots (and please one per country), I will be filling them with my own teams.

Season 7 !!! will begin after I post the rosters for the teams soon!

If it's not too late, could you add,

Holger Pi, Striker, 2.7
Lee Xin, Holding Midfielder, 2.5

Lee is a Kura-Pellandi refugee from Castillo FC, Pi is a former C&M international and star of Turks' Club and Delta Force Cardim deemed surplus to requirements at the Turks.

Kim Mihyeon has agreed a move to Caires Sports, by the by.

The IFA has announced the players to be allowed into the NFL are as follows:

Benjamin Whittaker
Mike Tuscany
Ryan Adelaide
Greg Littlefield
Lenny Manchester
Isaac Newton
Rickys Meyerse
Holger Pi
Lee Xin

Teams will have one week to try and recruit them into their team.

On second thought, I will not post rosters, since I'm still short by a long way on the rosters. I need over 200 names to fill in, but eventually, I'll fill them all (with foreigners or Han players); it's going to make the beloved 8th season premier all the more difficult to manage...

Transfers and Sales Season is now over...

I'll manage to do something with the gross number of open spots by just making up Anglicized Korean names to fill in the empty holes sometime... but lab and work are cutting my time already.

I'll get Season 7 highlights out ASAP :D

Season 7 sees the introduction of 8 new teams:

Sanghae Gukjei (C4)
Seoan Gukjei (Orcinus)
Pyeongyang Gukjei (Taemart)
Hangyeong Gukjei (TeleKT)
Hanseong Gukjei (Viella)
Daejeon
Jjambongga
Jangsa

5 teams are designated "Inter" teams, which are currently operated by foreign corporate sponsors who are responsible for the financial resources of the team and the football club. The remaining three teams are citizen clubs, owned by the city/citizens of the city. In addition to these 8 teams, the existing 32 teams of the NFL are also competing in Season 7.

And you now ask for what reason? It's part of our plan for the greatest expansion into Season 8.

The Plan for Season 8

The NFL will summarily disband!

And the IFA will coordinate the organization of the new Imperial Football League of Daehanjeiguk (IFL). The planned expansion is to incorporate a promotion/relegation system that is almost unprecedented in Han football league formats. The IFL will include the (soon to be) 40 teams of the existing NFL , using the latest season stats to divide the 40 teams into two leagues - one Premier Division (Heavenly League); and one Second Division (Majestic League). Another league will be formed, composed of 20 new teams sponsored by corporate and otherwise private owners (Premier League). In all, 60 professional teams will form the new Imperial Football League, divided into 3 divisions.



For all teams involved in Season 7, it will be a great incentive to stay in the top twenty, and win the chance to get an easy step in the Premier Division. And as always, the top 8 get a chance to compete in the Emperor's Cup.


Format for Season 7
* League matches (2 H/A matches - 78 matches)
* Emperor's Cup (top 8 teams in elimination style competition)

Qualification for International Cup Competitions:
TakilQuip Champions Cup
*Emperor's Cup Winner
*Top Leader in NFL (if EC winner is the same, the next rated team)

Samseong Series B C
*A playoff between the teams ranked 19-22; the two winners (19-21/20-22) will progress to the SSBC and also qualify for the Premier Division (Heavenly League).

The Season is underway, as the IFA tries a new format of presenting its results. We'll be presenting the world the match results in 13 sections of 6 matches, to allow international viewers a better opportunity to follow the action (and likewise to affect the performance of their teams through constructive comments).

Here we have the first 6 matches of the Season!

Match of the Day: Shilla 2-3 Seoan Gukjei

The debutants, with most of its players hailing from the Starblaydian Realm, faced off against the Emperor Cup holders. It was a tense 90 minutes, with the defense of both teams showing some considerable leakyness, but it was a decisive last goal that set up the newcomers with a relatively big upset and huge boost in confidence as the new International team sets out in the NFL. Shilla, on the other hand, will have to consider making better progress in the early stages.

Wunnam 1-2 Jjambongga
Sanghae 1-1 Daebuk

Match of the Day: Joseon 0-1 Jonam

The "official" team of the Jonam Kingdom faced off away in Joseon Kingdom, where the two teams (along with their respective capital teams) have developed a rather tense rivalry. This year's derby was no less exhilirating, with chances spoiled by both sides. It was one solitary strike that set the away team with the win, leaving Joseon fans a little bitter following the defeat. But it's early in the season, and there will be a chance to make up for the loss in the second half.

Sanghae 3-3 Wunnam

Match of the Day: Daejeon 1-1 Hanseong Gukjei

What? So we couldn't find a really good match for this one! But considering the proximity of the two cities, it was destined for a good show. Despite the low scores, it was a good match to watch, if you wanted to watch football at its finest. Of course, Daejeon fans were disappointed to share points with the other new team from Hanseong, but at least it was a clean, and it shows that the new boys have some talent to show to the rest of the league.

Jeongju 1-2 Wunnam

Match of the Day: Gwangdong 2-0 Monggol

Registering their first win of the season, Gwangdong really had a lot to go on this match. They were at home, in front of a desperate crowd, wondering if they were going to even challenge the Monggol players, who had 4 points on the table already. But after 2 quick goals and a sturdy defense, it was obvious that the first "international" team still had plenty of talent as they ripped Monggol. Monggol had come off a disappointing defeat to Jangsa, so it probably helped Gwangdong much to take advantage. But what remains to see is whether they can continue their positive form.

Match of the Day: Manju 4-2 Daenam

Just because a goalfest is always entertaining. This one took place in Hapibin, where the home side demolished the visiting team from Daenam. The Islanders were left straggling early, although the home side's leaky defense did concede 2 late goals, perhaps to appease the away fans. Nonetheless, Manju's prior dominance in the league still shows through in the experience of its strikers, although they will have to work on keeping the ball out of their own net to make any impact in this Season.

Match of the Day: Hogwang 3-2 Sanghae

Not a goalfest, and not a derby, but a darn good show. The two sides are known for their regional rivalry (although they each have their own derbies with other teams), but when Sanghae came into town, a battle was expected. Fortunately, no festive riots and such, but there was some tense play on the field. The high goal count just showed how aggressive the two sides were (the defense wasn't horrible; they just conceded too many spot kicks). In the end, Hogwang took away the prize, and the tense match seemingly evaporated as the players shook hands for a good but not-so-clean match.

The Divisions are pretty much set, with a wobble of only 4 teams to be decided for next season. And the Emperor's Cup looks to be set full of veteran teams once again, as Shilla rounds out the League over Hangyeong. A thrilling race, if you ever saw it at all.

Preface - At long last, the pivotal 8th Season begins, and a league structure that compares to the elite in the world takes shape. A total of 60 teams in the 1st tier of teams in the Han Empire compete for the chance to become the best in the Empire. And with 3 divisions, there are now numerous ways to claim the title:

The Emperor's Cup has been remodeled to accommodate the multiple tier system. After 19 matches (the halfway mark), the top 8 teams in each tier qualify for the Emperor's Cup. In the first round, the teams from the Majestic and Premier Divisions compete against one another; the second round sees the introduction of the Heavenly Division teams against the winners of the 2nd Round. All matches, except the final match, are two-legged series; and as always, the final match occurs at Emperor Gojong Football Stadium.

The new IFA Cup is to be played by all teams, although the official structure for the IFA Cup is yet to be revealed.

At the end of the season, the top 4 teams in each division have the opportunity to promote to the next division, while the bottom ranked 4 have a chance a relegate. Unlike in other leagues, the top-four of the lower league and the bottom-four of the higher league will compete in a promotion/relegation play-off (much like the middle tiered teams did at the end of Season 7). The four winners of the matches will promote, whereas the losers will relegate. The winning teams will then compete for the chance to compete in an international competition.

TQCC Qualification Scheme:

Emperor's Cup Winner
Heavenly Division Champions
Heavenly Division Runner-Up
Heavenly Division Promotion Champion


Globe Cup Qualification Scheme:

IFA Cup Winner
Emperor's Cup Runner-Up


SBCC Qualification Scheme:

Majestic Division Champions
Majestic Division Promotion Champion
Heavenly Division Promotion Runner-Up
IFA Cup Runner-Up


If a team qualifies for more than one competition, the next ranked team that satisfies the criterion will replace that team.

A few notable matches:

MD1>>> Seoan Gukjei 2-1 Taehaeng - We begin the season with a derby and a repeat match of the Promotion Championship, where Taehaeng came out on top to clinch the top seat for the SBCC. Unfortunately, they couldn't repeat it against the Seoan Gukjei charges, who have apparently learned their lessons from last season. Nakamura was pivotal in midfield, helping to sweep out the problems, with a late Taehaeng goal reducing their deficit. Still, it will be a positive spring board for Seaon Gukjei as they prepare for their second season.

MD3>>> Sanghae 2-1 Sanghae Gukjei - Another derby so soon in the season? Well, as it turns out, it's Sanghae FC who pulls out with a slender win, as the two sides were evenly matched for the majority of the during. Kim Daeeui proved to the crowd why he's still a clinical finisher, netting two goals late against Yim Hwisu.

MD6>>> Shilla 3-0 Hangyeong - Another derby? Not quite, but tense League rivals Shilla and Hangyeong are always sure to put up a headliner. Unfortunately for Hangyeong - who not only failed to win the league, but also failed to qualify for the TQCC - they lost out to a humbling 3-0 margin. Shilla is turning to be a new powerhouse, ever since arriving 3 seasons ago, and with this sort of devastation, they might be the best contender for the League Championship. Of course, we neglected to mention that Shilla is awfully weak against weaker teams (like their 2-1 loss to Gangso).

A few notable matches:

MD8>>> Malla 1-3 Shilla - Not exactly the best derby, but whenever you combine teams from Joseon and Jonam, expect a fiery fight. Shilla upheld Joseon's honor with a 3-1 thrashing against Malla. The match was also notable for a large number of yellow cards issued to the players, especially by the visiting team. Nonetheless, Shilla remained undaunted as they defended against key set pieces that Malla mostly spoiled. Malla made those very mistakes that could have cost Shilla the match, as it was that first shot by Sorthern Northland International Kim Min-kim that started the cascade against Malla.

MD11>>> Sanghae Gukjei 7-0 Daebuk - Talk about goal fest, Sanghae Gukjei makes the headlines with a 7-0 thrashing over Daebuk. Song Wuweon grabbed a hattrick while Peter Hawkins was busily shaking off a really bad day. For a team one point (and a lot more games) off from relegation, Daebuk is looking to do better in the future, while such startling displays are helping to make Sanghae Gukjei a rising force in the Division.

Summary

It's been a bit surprising already, with three Heavenly Division teams falling out in Round 2 (their first round). Shilla made a huge crash after they fell to international rivals in Hanseong Gukjei, while Sanghae made the worst crash, losing their home match against relatively unknown players from Jjambongga. Gamsuk has shown their struggles against 3rd Tier FC Samseong - the only 3rd Tier team into the Quarterfinals. In the meantime, Hangyeong recorded an emphatic (albeit close) winner against Daenam, while Shimyang beat the %$#^ out of the Christian FC. Hanseong almost suffered a horrible reverse at home, as Jangsa only managed to get the score down to just one goal from reaching the second round (since the away goals would have been enough to carry them through the round). Will we see more surprises ahead?

I sincerely promise that all club rosters will be released for the start of Season 9 - mostly because I'm working on them right now...

On that note, Season 9 will also feature basic player stats (like goals scored, YC, RC, and games played). This is part of my general hope that the IFL will become as comparable to other domestic leagues, where people have the satisfaction of following their teams/players from start to finish in all of its brilliant glory. At the moment, this is the farthest I hope to involve myself in the IFL mechanics until I can figure out a simpler way to do what I'm doing right now...

To the owners of Hangyeong Gukjei and Hanseong Gukjei:

I've lost your original rosters - please send me a TG/post it on the NFL thread/somehow let me know your rosters (and I know you had some rosters because everyone gave me rosters - I apologize for the inconvenience).

Also, because I'm pressed for time, I'm just going to finish the NFL by next week, with the next round of matches to be done within the next hour. If you have players that are interested in playing for a Han team, please let me know. If you own a team and are interested in making purchases, arranging trades, let me know your choices and I'll make the adjustments. A reminder as well that rosters will be available for all teams in the Heavenly and Majestic Divisions - none of the corporate teams rosters will be publicly available, although I do anticipate that the university teams will at some point have rosters available for their young players.

A few notable matches:

MD20>>> Seoan Gukjei 1-1 Sanghae Gukjei - An "Inter" team derby, Seoan Gukjei and Sanghae Gukjei have been at each other's necks for the season, and this was one of those few opportunities to settle rivalries in person. Unfortunately, it was a boring affair, highlighted by a bunch of a tricks and neat dribbling, but not any priceless shots. And the goalkeepers weren't having a great evening, as they easily conceded a goal each. Doubtless, fans were spectacled to watch the match, some remarking later that it was good "if you don't mind waiting for results."

MD23>>> Shilla 1-1 Hangyeong - Another derby, this one more potent. Shilla and Hangyeong have been top contenders for many seasons now, and it was just one more opportunity to settle old scores. Incidentally, the old score was heavily in favor of Shilla, but Hangyeong managed to quiet the crowd early and stole a 1 goal lead off Jeong Jihun's neatly placed free kick. But Shilla held on tight - not wanting to concede defeat after so many good seasons. It wasn't until after the 60th minute when Kim Min-kim took the ball up and neatly tucked the ball past Kim Jongguk that Shilla really began to sparkle. But for the home side, it was one goal that salvaged a point in an important race to stay high.

MD25>>> Cheonjin 0-0 Sanghae - Completing the trio for our match summaries, it's important to note that Sanghae has been going through some tough times. Just as MD19 rolled around, they announced a surprise deal to loan key striker Kim Daeeui to a C&M side - Albrecht FC. And their opening in the Emperor's Cup was more or less a disgrace, losing out to Jjambongga. Meanwhile, Cheonjin had a better season going into the match, despite having poor fixture results. Currently, Cheonjin are the only side still left in an international cup competition (Globe Cup) and they'll be aiming to reach the next round in style. Unfortunately, with a result as today's Cheonjin will be bowing out likely. And Sanghae only made its case stronger for a second chance to win at the League Title. But without Kim Daeeui, their striking power will be significantly decreased. Fortunately, it seems that they've found some young talent from the Lower Divisions - perhaps it can work out for them after all?

Majestic Division

MD21>>> Hangyeong Gukjei 1-3 Hanseong Gukjei - Not too many games in the Majestic Division typically receive as much attention, but with a resurgency that's set to make Hanseong Gukjei one of the few teams that are settling for promotion contention, Manager Dwier Titenburg has prompted to liven his team's side to make that dream a reality. It was a disappointing first season for the one of new "Inter" teams in the now defunct National Football League - but as the team is settled in 3rd place in the Majestic Division, they're making good on their promises to their fans. What's particularly helped the side is the lack of inter-city competition from the equally impressive Hanseong FC, who recently bowed out in the Second Round of the TQCC. Fans have had a lot to cheer as they're showing a lot of pride in the Imperial Football League. So why on earth would we showcase this match? Two words - new player. Beckoned out of international retirement by Titenburg, Zeph Yan Yin - of fame from the Oriental Football Cups, for his stunning displays in the 2nd and 3rd editions - has come out to play for the team, to get the team on its feet. His first game in the IFL was a small rival's match against Hangyeong Gukjei, a team on the far opposite of the spectrum. And the match couldn't have been any more biased. With the exception of an unlucky own goal by Hajime Mori, Hanseong Gukjei had a dominant style of play, spearheaded largely by Zeph Yan Yin, who even netted his first goal in the League. When asked if he could bring Hanseong Gukjei back into the Heavenly Division, he remarked confidently, "We have the quality players that one would need to do so. So yes, I think Hanseong [Gukjei] will be back in the Heavenly Division next season." A 3-1 win over Hangyeong Gukjei certainly puts them in the right direction too.

Round 10
Shilla --- Seoan Gukjei


Notes: An interesting display, as nearly all of the remaining International teams made the Quarterfinal stretch, where Sanghae Gukjei elilminated Pyeongyang Gukjei, whose otherwise dull performances in the Majestic League suddenly turned dazzling. Hanseong experienced a major upset, as they sought to add the IFA Cup into their list of contentions, failing to beat Shimyang on a slender margin. The other startling upset was FC Daewu's win over Hangyeong. The Premier Division team hardly has any accolades to its name, and yet managed to overthrow the hegemonic demand of the perennial superpower. Sanghae also showed a lackluster performance, having lost Kim Daeeui's striking power on a loan. In Round 8, Hapbi managed a minor upset over Heavenly Division contenders Cheonjin, while Seoan Gukjei battled Gwangdong to a nail-biting PK shoot-out, which they finished with tactical finesse. Shilla, having dispatch Joseon rather easily, made similar strides against Gangso, who had been riding luck in extra time mostly. The semifinals were also tense, as Shilla pulled out a slender win over Sanghae Gukjei, while Seoan Gukjei forced another PK shoot-out against Hapbi. It all boils down to the last match - Shilla and Seoan Gukjei. The Starblaydii contigent will be pleased to know that their manager has done well to ensure their team's success, but of the two teams, Shilla has the experience to win the Cup. In the end, it will boil down to an interesting match that will have people talking for a long time.

Round 5
Hangyeong --- Cheonjin


Notes: Not much to say. The Quarterfinals went almost as predictions would say. The only surprise was Hanseong's departure in a home loss to Shimyang. The Semifinals pitted the best teams in the Heavenly Division together, with Hangyeong holding onto a slender away win to carry on to the Final. Against Cheonjin, Shimyang foiled their home advantage, and failed to make up any ground in the second match. That brings us to one of the most exciting Emperor's Cup Finals in recent history. Last Season, Cheonjin failed to impress against a strong Hanseong team, losing 5-1. On the same stroke, Hangyeong haven't won the Emperor's Cup since the inaugural season. As both teams are veterans of the Emperor's Cup, expect to see a very exciting match, with thrills from the start to the end.

A few notable matches:

MD26>>> Sanghae 4-0 Daebuk - Sanghae just lent Kim Daeeui to C&M Albrecht FC, and have suffered in their past few matches. They fell out of the Emperor's Cup, the IFA Cup, and they haven't been doing as well in the League. But one glimpse at the scoreline suggests otherwise. Even as Kim Daeeui's future in the CMSC remains a little uncertain, Sanghae seemed to steam full-speed ahead in MD26, against a relatively weaker side from Daebuk. Yes, Daebuk has conceded the most goals of any team in the Heavenly Division. Yes, they're in contention for relegation. But who cares? Not when you've got strikers filling the void left by Kim Daeeui. It was classic Sanghae style as they made an exhilirating gasp for a slight chance at the Division Title. As for Daebuk - it's another loss that makes relegation all the more certain.

MD30>>> Hapbi 6-3 Wunnam - WHOA! WOW! That's what we said when we saw this scoreline. And it's like WHOA! WOW! 9 goals in one match. Certainly not a world record, but considering it was two poor teams, it was all WHOA! WOW! Well, enough of the exclamations - it really was an exciting game. I'm sure that the Hapbi defense coach won't be too happy, but their offense was just amazing. Every chance capitalized into a great goal and several not so great goals. But when you're a lowly team, stuff like this builds your team up for the bigger games. Nonetheless, you can expect that the home crowd was very happy! (pardon the puns too).

Each team has one opportunity to promote. At this point, all teams are incontention for relegation or promotion, rather than automatically qualifying or relegating. This is to prevent perennially mediocre teams from relegating and promoting every year. It's like another chance at redemption - or another obstacle to overcome. In another sense, it's earning the right to stay/promote by beating the other team. In this first round, the teams will play in one H/A fixture. The winners of each series will promote automatically. The losers will relegate. The next round will pit the winning teams for a chance in contention for one of the many International Club Competitions.

And with these matches and the qualification schedule set, this brings a grand close to Season 8. For that, transfers and sales are now open!

Myedvedeya, a new nation to international sport, would like to submit four players to your league. None of them have team preferences, except that each of them would obviously like to be placed on a team with another Myedvedeyan. (this does not necessarily have to happen)

Nikolai Karpolsky- age 24, Left Forward- Karpolsky is a powerful left forward, who is absolutely deadly at taking set pieces.

Ivan Blevsky- age 21, Central Defender- Blevsky is very young, and very fast, but not always aware of himself on the field.

Dimitry Slavsov- age 26, Right Defender- Slavsov is a slower, but very tactically sound defender. also, very good at headers.

Alexander Markov- age 22, Right Attacking Midfielder A regular starter for the Myedvedeyan National team, Markov is the best of the four, and has the ability to play on a highest-level team. He is a very gifted dribbler, and has a clinical finish.

Myedvedeya would much appreciate these players entered into the draft of your excellent league.

Myedvedeya would much appreciate these players entered into the draft of your excellent league.

The IFA is currently reviewing these players and has opened their inclusion into the drafts - whether any teams accepts them is another matter.

Thank you, I understand that they may not be drafted, but we thank you for placing them under consideration.

Season 8 was pivotal in many aspects. It marked the beginning of another era for football in the Han Empire, and while not nearly as comprehensive as other football leagues, it marks a clear progression to the competitive standards of other prominent international football leagues. Analysts hope that the increasing international attention to Han domestic divisions will continue to attract better business, with such new innovations as detailed match reports and public player stats. And hopefully, Season 9 will live up to the challenge of being even better than Season 8.

Line-ups for Season 9 Heavenly Division Teams:

- Foreign players italicized
- Star players bolded
- National team members marked with an asterisk (*)
- And eventually, the rest of the world will realize that the "last" name is actually first while the personal name is last. This has been the result of confusing layouts for most international teams (excluding the CMSC, which is the only foreign conference to use proper Han denomination using the last name). All names are full; during detailed reports, the last name will be used unless potential confusion might result from displaying only the last name.
-This is the POST-Season 8 Roster list; a PRE-Season 9 Roster list will come up after Transfer and Sales have been completed.

IFA authorities have confirmed recent news reported by the Vanorian FA, regarding Kim Gwangseok's transfer to Hondo FC. They also confirmed a mid-season transfer between Hondo FC and Hanseong Gukjei -introducing Vanorian international Zeph Yan Yin. While the procedures are typically against convention, the IFA has decided to waive the fines for the two transfers, considering that the VFA was seriously invested in making changes before their season started.

"Since the Vanorian Season would have started before the end of the IFL Season, we allowed the transfers," a senior IFA official said. "However, the teams should not take this as a free pass. Transfers should confirm to the season posted, to avoid too much negative impact upon team organizations and further to avoid excessive commercial competition during Season play.

Foreign players wanting to be included in the League must make their intentions one day prior to the deadline! All changes that have already taken place are already noted and need not be said again (unless we ask for it).

Also, this post serves as the cut-off for foreign players wishing to gain admission to the IFL Season 9. Teams have until 0000GMT (or whenever I got on) tomorrow before Season 9 is set in stone.

A few administrative notes:

Hangyeong Gukjei - sponsored by Dongshin KT (KT Telecomm) - has been purchased in a unilateral bid by Banco Economico of Cafundeu (Gyeongjei Eunhaeng). The Hangyeong Gukjei team has been liquidated and a new team organized by a new managing team have re-established the team at Malnira, taking the name Malla Gukjei.

The player cap per team is still set at 16 players per team (for OOC reasons). However, hearing concerns by people, I may elect to extend the cap to 21 persons. If I get clamoured by a lot of people complaining that the teams have too few players, I'll extend the cap at the end of Season 9, thus going into effect for Season 10.

Season 9 will attempt to feature detailed match reports for each match - this will include the following criteria:
*Goalscorers
*Shots on goal
*match summaries for important matches (EC Final, IFA Cup Final, match highlights, etc.)
All of this is an effort to make your viewing pleasure on the IFL reports more enjoyable and more interactive. As a hint, players and teams that receive a lot of press coverage earn extra "points" (akin to RP bonuses employed in the WC and virtually every other competition). As there are 6 "periods", plus the IFA Cup, Emperor's Cup, and various other opportunities to express your support/hatred, you'll have many opportunities to help "cheer" your team to victory. So the jist: more interaction = better performance for "your" team, especially if you're the only person doing it.

That's all for now!

Due to a tragic mass of information, Season 9 is going to restart. Which means that all of the happy stuff that happened two posts ago is going to go kaput. Apologies to people who really liked the results. And instead of posting scorers for individual matches, I'll simply annotate them in my league tables so that it's much easier for me post league results. Match reviews will still feature the same details.

A few notable matches:

MD2>>> Hanseong Gukjei 3-0 Hanseong - Derby Time! And it was an exciting derby in the fresh Waella Stadium, where some 40,000 gold-clad fans assembled to cheer their newly promoted team to victory. And it was a quick scuffle before Zeph Yan Yin took the first shot and sent the home crowd into a rapturous cheer for some 30 minutes. The two sides went into the half interval with only 1 goal separating the two sides. Coach Yi Samcheon looked to add some inspiration, giving veteran Yi Yeongpyo some rest to let on Mun Hyeonyeop. This turned out to be a costly mistake, as within minutes of the second half starting, Ryo Nakamura sent the home side up another goal, and Kenshin Fujiwara only added to the tally as he stormed through several Hanseong defensive mistakes. While Hanseong recovered its composure, they certainly lacked any impetus to get back into the game, hoping to avoid more an embarrassment than it already was. Doubtless, Hanseong fans will be demanding much of their coach when it comes for the return phase.

Goal Summary:
Yan Yin - GOAL! (17')
Nakamura - GOAL! (49')
Fujiwara - GOAL! (52')

MD5>>> Shingang 2-0 Shimyang - Shingang is one of the notable exceptions to the Empire. Its western position means that there are relatively few native Han and more native Turks. Islam is a major force here, and while not completely rejected by the mainstream of society, Islam certainly isn't a religion that stands out. People too few, and money even fewer - how does a team survive? Shimyang, on the other hand, has the vast resources of the East to build its team, including some foreign talent. How then does Shingang host a team with largely foreign players against Shimyang with poor mediocre players? I don't know, but it's definitely a case of black and white - if Yi Haksaeng weren't in goal, the goal margin could have been worse for Shimyang. Nonetheless, Valerian striker Michael Shin netted the only two goals of the match to leave the home side very much confident of its Season 9 campaign prospects.

Goal Summary:
Shin - GOAL! (20')
Shin - GOAL! (67')

MD6>>> Hangyeong 2-0 Cheonjin - With the collapse of the former Hangyeong Gukjei team, the only derby for the capital team left is the always popular Hangyeong-Cheonjin match. And season holders were lucky to get it early. The two cities are virtually neighbors, and so these sorts of matches always get the stadiums stuffed, to maximum capacity at times. And the home fans must have been delighted, as international superstar Jeong Jihun netted a goal and led an assist to An Seungho, as they simply dominated over Cheonjin. Coach Padaria will have much to answer as his prepares for the rest of the season.

Goal Summary:
Jeong - GOAL! (56')
An - GOAL! (74')

A few notable matches:

MD7>>> Shingang 1-0 Gwangdong - Shingang continues its dominating form with a simple 1-0 away at home to Gwangdong, a powerhouse that has been struggling as of late in the new revised IFL structure. Shingang has been one of the few teams to excel throughout the years, despite their perpetual inability to winning critical matches. Nonetheless, Gwangdong will be hoping for better omens through the remainder of the season, as they've managed to pull out just 11 points in their first 12 matches.

Goal Summary:
Hui Yu - GOAL! (32')

MD10>>> Jonam 1-5 Shilla - Shilla might not be in its top form, but with a win over Jonam - last season's League contenders - by such a large margin, you might be convinced to say that Shilla will definitely be in top form to repeat their antics. A total of 5 goals, with two coming from new sign Januário of Cafundéu, helped pushed Shilla on top of the league for a day, before a loss to a resurgent Cheonjin side forced them to concede the pole position to Gamsuk, and eventually to Hangyeong. Nonetheless, if the powerful Jonam side can be humbled by Shilla this early, I'd imagine that you should expect great things from them this season, including a potential repeat for the IFA Cup Championship.

Goal Summary:
Januário - GOAL! (14') Shilla
An Yeonghak - GOAL! (27') Jonam
Kim Taeyeong - GOAL! (46') Shilla
Kim Min-kim - GOAL! (49') Shilla
Januário - GOAL! (56') Shilla
Shin Taegon - GOAL! (78') Shilla

MD12>>> Shimyang 1-3 Joseon - Joseon had come out from losing a few matches, and stunned the home fans with a hat trick coming from Kim Eunjung in the first 15 minutes. The only consolation came from a pathetic own goal by Jo Yonggi, unfortunately fisted into his own net after clearing a corner kick in the 69th minute. Comedy did not give Shimyang any better chances in the second half, and Joseon can be assured that they may have a shot at making the Emperor's Cup.

Goal Summary:
Kim Eunjung - GOAL! (4') Joseon
Kim Eunjung - GOAL! (12') Joseon
Kim Eunjung - GOAL! (15') Joseon
Jo Yonggi - OWN GOAL! (69') Shimyang

=== NOTES ===

A few surprises. First, Shilla failed to get to their next round, with a 3-1 loss to Sanghae Gukjei. Second, a number of "third" tier teams actually managed to reach Round 7 - notably the Christians and the Hanhwa Corporate team. They both fell out to HD teams, but it doesn't diminish their accomplishment at progressing so far in the tournament. As the Quarterfinals approaches, we see 2 Majestic teams in contention against 6 Heavenly teams - and if the early rounds were indicative of any excitement to be seen, Season 9 may not yet disappoint, as finalists Seoan Gukjei may have a chance to rectify their errors from last season.

Capri Times
How Do You Do?

Unnoticed by many, but a little over three years ago Viella Incorporated bought a nice little club in the Han Empire, importing a group of young Vanorians with Han ethnicity, as well as former National Team Captain and Assistant Manager Dwier Titenburg. After a very disappointing first season that saw the side finish dead last in the what was the National Football League, things began to turn around in their second year. In their first year, they were required to ground share with Hanseong as their own stadium, voted to be named Waella Stadium by the fans, was being constructed. In addition to the 43,000 seater stadium, the company that are the kit sponsors the famous Raynor City United here in the ESF, built a state of the art Academy as well as first rate medical and training facilities to produce a professional and driven environment that was conducive to success.

Then using their good finical position, they were able to procure the transfer of the former Vanorian National Team striker Zeph Yan Yin from Hondo FC. As the fans began to support the side, the addition of the first true Han player, and the influential striker, the Yeong-ung (Rangers) went on an impressive run that took them from the midtable of the new second division to winning their promotion with Yin's scoring prowess proving to be the spark missing from their first year's squad.

Now the side is in position to compete in the prestigious Emporer's Cup with 19 points from a dozen matches, and only six points off the pace of the league leaders. While the title prospects are not the brightest of possibilities, what they are doing is proving that you can prosper given the right amount of investment in quality players and environment that sets up players for success. Even if the squad were to somehow pull a minor miracle and win the title it would not be seen as a success, as the main goal of the side seems to be fostering a real connection with their community. After somewhat spitting in the face on the locals by bringing in a Vanorian bred side, the board and players have quickly found out that what their community wants. So Pak Yanggun, an 18 year old winger from Hanseong, who has impressed the coaching staff with his performaces during his stay at the Academy has been promised a spot on next season's roster. It might not be able to overcome the love that the Vanorians have for their own domestic league, NT, and the Cafundeu league, but the success or failure of this club will be a very interesting and intriguing event to watch over the coming seasons.

My sincerest apologies for the delay of this...

I've been detained by recent events that have put me back by a while, so it will be some time before I can get on track again, IRL and otherwise. I will attempt putting things in order as soon as possible, although I cannot guarantee that they will be as they were prior to my latest posts and developments.

The IFA has announced a new ICC qualification scheme:

Emperor's Cup Champion

Heavenly Division Champion
Heavenly Division Promotion Champion


Globe Cup Qualification Scheme:

Emperor's Cup Runner-up
IFA Cup Runner-up


SBCC Qualification Scheme:

This new qualification scheme is expected to prevent Heavenly Division teams from competing the 2nd tier club cup competition - the SBCC - to face unwarranted ease of competition and/or humiliation.

OOC UPDATES FOR SEASON 10

I'm trying in earnest to keep my IFL records more neatly. This means a general not-visible-to-your-eyes reorganization of the data that is present. With this reorganization, I hope to be able to add more teams in a more streamline manner and allow those wanting to do so to add more than just the minimum 16 players per team. On a side note, I've already made provisions to allow at most 10 players of each rank and file, additional managerial positions (i.e. manager, assistants, GK, DF, MF, and ST coaches, medic, and scouts), with new things yet to come. I'm also hope that this will make it easier for me to upload team data onto Jolt for roster information, because at the moment it's a real challenge to transcribe this stuff for public view.

Nonetheless, I'm hoping that you who follow the IFL will be pleased with these changes.

For those who contribute to the IFL, this may mean that you will be required to send me old information that I've lost/misplaced/deleted/done things with in the interim; either that or opt to get your players out of the league (which might be preferable, considering the difference between my players and your players is a significant extra headache). Nonetheless, I'm not telling every foreign player to get out - and if no foreign player leaves, that'll be fine (hopefully no extra foreigners want to come).

Regardless, I'm just blabbering when I could be working on that new XLS file...

Well just so you knowi dont have any of my information for you written down, except in this thread and sorry but the Pyeonyang team will be keeping Mr. Montague according to his agent

This new qualification scheme has been designed to help improve the competitiveness of Han teams participating in the various club competitions as well as offer more opportunities to the team participating in the competitions.

Season 10 is nearly at a close, and matches will (hopefully) begin in the near future.
