Should there be an AOCAF, AOCL and/or AOHC, I'm going to be extremely realistic and state that if I enter I'm unlikely to RP due to RL.

I'm in for all three. I think the AOHC should be run before too much time drags on, to ensure legitimacy and continuity. In AOCL, I think leagues should get 1 or 2 entries, FWIW - or maybe just 1 for now, and the most successful leagues can then enter 2 in later editions? I'm down for whatever.

Esportiva is also planning a Champions League, so there are some real opportunities for interregional RP opening up. Ranking points are a sticky wicket, but perhaps an interregional CL or super cup could use an independent ranking formula (maybe too much work) or convert the three sets of numbers into a common denominator?

I don't agree with the points.

We've had 5 AOHC's in 6 years so continuity isn't the concern there, where as AOCAF is pretty regular. We can do the AOHC I think during WCQ or something

as for AOCL, i think it will be easier just to stick with a straight up 1 entry per physical nation. If you have more than 1 nation in AO, then I guess thats your reward for it.

As for rankings, that would be proposed by the hosts. I assume their options would be, use no ranking, use UICA rankings or use AO (National) Rankings. I don't anticipate an AOCL Specific ranking being created or used

Confession of ignorance: I voted AOCAF only. Before I'd really thought about it.

I'm not bothered about hockey because, well, I'm not bothered about hockey, but when I engaged paying-attention-right-side-of-brain I found I liked the idea of AOCL too. Especially Legal's idea for something with a little RP opportunity rolled in, since selfishly this will help me develop more detail for my league, and for my national team too.

Make sure you sign up for the World Cup of Hockey while waiting for the AOHC to start later this year.

Valanora appears to be preparing a host bid so we should support it, I know he will do a great job with it.

Ah, fair enough. Thanks for the info, and given this, I agree.
