Ten years ago, the IDU hosted a 'World Cup'-like event, the IDU Football Championship. After this year's World Cup, [nation]Trive 38[/nation] and I had the idea of reviving the Championship. The IDUFC will be a low-intensity, easy-entry sports roleplay, using the score-generating website leaguesimulator.eu to generate results. I've used League Simulator before to generate results for Laeralian Ligue 1 soccer, and I intend to use their 16-team World Cup mode to run the tournament.
Roleplay Details:
Laeral will host the 2018 IDUFC. I'll basically use this as background fluff, describing the stadiums that matches will take place in and other RP details. Roleplay won't be necessary or required after each team's application is submitted, although I'd certainly welcome it. The winner of the tournament will take home the IDU Football Cup and the glory of being the greatest team in IDU soccer. I do intend to include some minor roleplay details with every game result coming out- newspaper headlines, highlights, or something of the like.
Technical Details:
Leaguesimulator.eu generates results based on each team's Attack and Defense scores, although there is some room for randomness and upsets. Attack and Defense scores can each range from 1 to 9, with 9 being the best. Each player's team will start with 10 points which they can allocate to those two scores as they wish. However, establishing more details about your team in your application gets you more points to spend. The scale is as follows:
Describing team uniform colors: +1
Listing team roster: +2
Listing home club of each player: +2
Ideally, the number of points to be gained from adding roleplay details about the team gives players an advantage over other teams with fewer roleplay details, but this advantage won't be insurmountable. Once we have 16 teams (puppets are okay, but are limited to 1 per player, and start off with 6 points instead of 10) I'll plug the numbers into leaguesimulator and I'll run about 1 game per day.
There's no real need to hurry on this; we can start whenever we have 16 teams. Thoughts or comments, anyone?
