World Bowl 3 Bid : Arroza
(No one else decided to run gainst me.)

The Nations: Arroza, a warm semi-tropical island nation somewhere in the southern end of Atlantic Oceania. The country is made of two uninspiringly named islands, North Island, and South Island. The two islands are linked via road and rail bridges at Atalanta – Northland and at Port Wentworth. The residents are a mix of Caucasian and African, with Latins as well on the Southern island. Arroza is very liberal concerning crime, and does not have capital punishment. Serious crimes are dealt with via banishment. All the games will be held at or near the capital city of Atalanta, but tourists are welcomed to travel the country, especially the quiet beaches of the Secluded Coast, or the Casinos of Huracan and Evangeline Provinces.
The User Behind the Nation: No international hosting history. Top 4 finisher in both previous World Bowls. Runs what is probably one of the 2 most renowned domestic American Football leagues. Currently in school, so you will get updates at night. Semi-chronic procrastinator, but good with deadlines. On Central Standard time.
The Technical Stuff:
Format ~ Would involve a simple group-stage-then-knock-out-rounds system, involving as many teams as appears appropriate (I want 12 playoff teams like the NFL Playoffs, but will only do so it we get 24+ teams in the tournament.) All nations who sign up in the sign-up thread will be formally invited, and damn what it does to the group stage. No special effort would be undertaken to ensure a large tournament, and if only a handful of nations (ie, less than sixteen-or-so) accept the call we would endeavor to create fewer but larger groups.
Scorination ~ NSFS 2.0.7. Modifiers open to integers between -5 and +5. Double Scorination, with the first scorination being used to represent the number of touchdowns (6 points). Extra points will be determined based on your stated conversion style, and will be randomated as such:
Extra Points: 96% (Arroza is a windy country)
2 Point Conversion: 35(+ your modifier) % (i.e. a +4 team has a 39% chance)
The second scorination will be for the amount of field goals (3 points). These will be added together for a score, which you can RP in any way possible.
RP Bonus ~ Cumulative RP bonus sheet will be adapted for the World Bowl.
Note: More facts/rules can be added at my convenience.
Schedule ~
