Nellies will participate in the next AOCAF. We may also have a "real" roster for y'all to digest, if I can bear to think up names for 11 really good arachnids and 7 mediocre ones.

AOCAF XLVI: Cold never bothered us anyway!

Royal Québec Football Association is proud to submit the following host bid for the 46th edition of the AOCAF:

About Royal Kingdom of Québec

Located in Northern AO, Royal Kingdom of Québec is a nation known for its majestic environment, rich culture and claims one of its region's most educated and cultured population. Led by His Imperial Majesty the Jacques IX, the country is a semi-constitutional monarchy, with both the royalty and the democracy playing a huge role in Quebecois politics. With a high HDI rating and affluent economy, Royal Kingdom of Québec is an advanced nation with long years of peace and stability within the nation, while still allowing for societal and economic progress over the course of its history. With a beautiful environment, advanced economy, state-of-art infrastructure and love of football, Royal Kingdom of Québec is your place to go for your once-in-a-lifetime voyage that welcomes every traveler with smile and cheer.

In terms of international football, Royal Kingdom of Québec is an emerging force. First making its appearance in World Cup 62, the Grim Reapers, after years of gradual development, have made some nice, growing presence in the international footballing community since then. In World Cup 69 the Quebecois qualified for its first ever World Cup proper, and was able to place their footprint in Apox. The National Team, in spite of longtime manager Ji Choon Kim's retirement and team corps in transitions, was able to continue their ascent in World Cup 70 when they once again made it to the World Cup proper. In spite of being unable to get past the group stage, the Grim Reapers nonetheless were able to show the Multiverse that they could contend among the best, and are currently ranked 21st in Multiverse. With fairly modest but recent success in world cups, Royal Kingdom of Québec looks to have a bright future in international football.

Format

The finals format will be pretty much the same as it has always been for a World Cup Finals format. 32 national teams, 8 groups of 4, single round-robin with the top 2 in each group advancing to the usual 16-team knockout round. Teams will be sorted into pots for the Finals based upon their AOCAF ranks.

Scorination/RP Bonus

For this AOCAF I'll be using the SQIS modifiers (non-modified) of the association football function in Xkoranate. Style Modifiers will be from -5 to +5. RPs will be scored from 0 to 3 and the criteria for judging them is based mainly and creativity and how well written they are. RP bonus will serve as a significant factor in the scorination. They will be cumulative. Rosters will also be graded and shall be equivalent to a matchday.

Tiebreakers

To break ties, we will rely first upon Goal Difference (when it is applicable to the situation). After HTH, the other tiebreakers will be Head to Head Results and Goals for. Should those fail to break a tie in the Finals, H2H Goals For will be utilized as the 4th tiebreaker. Failing that, there will be coin flip to decide it all.

Experience

When it comes to hosting, Royal Kingdom of Québec is no stranger as well. Royal Kingdom of Québec has hosted or co-hosted the Baptism of Iron XIV and XV, World Junior Hockey Championships VI and VIII, World Bowl XIV, World Cup of Hockey XXV and Baptism of Fire LVII. He also is in charge of Royal Alexandre Hockey Invitationals. The user behind the nation is currently the President for the World Cup of Hockey Federation and a longtime member in many sporting committees, as well as formerly organising the NSCAA Ice Hockey Competitions. He also has hosted many seasons of domestic hockey and football leagues, and intends to restart Champions Hockey League, the hockey equivalent of UICA, soon.
