Demot–Capitalizt SLANI World Cup 45 bid
The Demot Football Association and Capitalizt SLANI (Commerce Heights OOCly) submit this bid to host the forty-fifth World Cup in Demot and Paripana (aka the Unified Capitalizt States).
Scorinator
A somewhat modified version of xkoranate (the Olympic scorinator) using the Schiavone International Scorinator formula, as seen every third Cup since WC36, will be used. This formula is based on the ratio between the competing teams’ KPB scores, i.e, the difference between a team with a KPB score of 1.00 (a typical BoF participant) and 7.00 (roughly equal to #55 Akbarabad) is the same as the difference between the 7.00 team and a 49.00 team (roughly equal to #2 Demot). This makes RP bonus particularly helpful to new teams. Style modifiers between −5 and +5 will be used with the xkoranate style modifier system, such that style modifiers have no effect on the outcome (win/draw/loss) of the match.
Qualifying structure
Ten groups of eight is the preferred format for qualifying. If this is not possible, then ten, twelve, or fifteen groups of any size may be used, depending on the number of teams signed up. Groups will have an even number of teams if possible, to avoid bye days. If there are ten groups, the top three teams from each group will advance. If there are twelve groups, the top two teams from each group will advance and the third-place teams will play a two-leg qualification playoff. If there are fifteen groups, the top two teams from each group will advance.
The first tiebreaker, if teams in a group have the same number of points, will be number of wins, followed by head-to-head results (points, followed by number of wins, goal difference, goals scored, and [in qualifying] away goals), goal difference, goals scored, and (in qualifying) away goals. If a relevant tie between two teams cannot be resolved, then a single playoff match at a neutral site will be used to determine who advances. If a tie between three or more teams cannot be resolved, or if a two-way tie is irrelevant to determining which teams advance, then it will be resolved by drawing of lots.
All draws (for qualifying, the group stage, and, if twelve groups are used, the playoffs) will have teams seeded using KPB ranks. Pre-qualifying rankings will be used throughout the tournament.
RP bonus
A bonus for the overall quality of each player’s RPs so far will be multiplied by a modifier for RPing “frequently,” “occasionally,” or “never.” Someone that posts one great RP will get a larger bonus than someone who posts poor RPs every day, but someone who posts great RPs frequently will not have an overwhelming advantage. RPs posted during qualifying will be included in determining the bonus for the finals.
Previous experience
Both co-hosts have hosted the World Cup before. Demot (as ESF/Valanora) hosted WC39, WC43, and BoF23, while CH hosted WC26, WC36, WC39, CoH25, and BoF2, as well as four Olympic Games and nine TakilQuip Champions’ Cups.
