An (out of character) note from the host
In an effort to keep our "annual" Football Championship as yearly as possible, I'd like to announce the opening of the 2021 IDUFC registration period at this time. I'm honored to be hosting the third iteration of the region's most successful single-discipline sporting event, and hope to uphold the tournament's reputation as a top-notch sports role-play. Some of the most impressive character-development and culture-building I've seen in my 4+ years of NS has come from this tournament, and I'm sure this year will produce many memorable and colorful characters.
Following the time-tested advice: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," I don't plan to deviate much from the format instituted by Laeral in 2018 and continued in 2020 by Legionas. The tournament results will once again be generated by leaguesimulator.eu, which is both user friendly (meaning less chance for catastrophic data loss) and produces realistic results with just enough random chance to produce exciting upsets. Specifically, the tournament will either use a 16t&4g format or a 32t&8g format, depending on how many participants register. Either way, the championship will have one "group-style" and one "bracket-style" stage, with teams initially divided into round-robin style groupings and the top two teams from each group moving on to a single-elimination bracket stage.
When signing up, participants should allocate 10 points into their team's Attack and Defense profiles, with 9 being the most points allocatable into either profile (eg. 5-5, 9-1, or 8-2 being allowed, but 10-0 being prohibited). Participants who list their team's uniform colors, team roster, and the home club of each player may allocate an additional 1, 2, and 2 points, respectively, for each stat they fill out. In other words, a player who fills out all details may allocate 15 points between Attack and Defense.
