Background & History

Krytenia, let's face it, have hosted practically every football tournament in the NSverse. All except one, that is. And we thought we needed to do something about that, especially as WC35 marks thirty cups since the Cyan Army made their first tentative steps in this very competition.

But this would not just be a new experience for Krytenia. It's also a chance for debutantes to gain a foothold in the international world, make new friends, and play some football. And who knows, maybe we'll see the next Sarzonia, Newmanistan, or Peisandros.

Format

In setting up, each stadium to be used will be named and described with its capacity, home team(s) and history, along with any notable events that have taken place there. Krytenian referees will be put forward for each match, each with their own take on how football is to be played within the available rules. All possible help and advice will be available to each competitor via Telegram or other standard method of communication. All participants will receive Telegrams informing them of the Baptism of Fire, directing them to appropriate locations and making advice readily available.

In the first round, the teams will be split into one, two or four groups of equal size, depending on number of entrants, and drawn at random. Four, eight, or sixteen teams will advance to the knockout phase (again depending on numbers).

For the second round, the advancing teams will go forward into seeded pairings based on group placings. Knock-out matches will proceed as normal, with two periods of 15 minutes for Extra Time and, if no winner has emerged at the end, a penalty shoot-out. All the teams who have progressed to the second round will play until each has a final finishing position, giving a Final as well as Third-, Fifth- and possibly Seventh-Place Play-offs.

The DBC Scorinator, as used in BoF27, will be used again here.

Bonuses

The KFA will award bonuses based on the following criteria:

Entertainment, Realism, Creativity, Humour, Individuality, Variation, Story-lines, Rivalries, Inter-team participation and Use of available information.

In addition, there will be Double-Bonus Matchdays, in which a team's participation will count double for that Matchday, a scheme used in BoF27.

Conclusion

With the Krytenian bid for the BoF, we feel that the future of the tournament, and the "Class of 45", will be in safe and reliable hands.[/QUOTE]
