CREATING AND APPLYING A TEAM ROSTER |
Before you create your team on Fumbbl, we highly suggest that you use an Excel sheet or one of the online helpers to create your team and make sure it adds up to the total amount. You can download a WC-specific Excel roster here. Find additional roster making tools on the NAF site. Once you have decided on your setup, generate a new team following all of the subsequent steps (do not reuse an existing team!): 1. Create a new team using this link and choose your race and team name. Please add your time zone identifier in brackets, at the beginning of your team name, E.g. [EU] Cherryville Croakers or [NA] Cherryville Croakers 2. On the team page, there is no need to change ‘Progression’ from ‘Standard’ to ‘None’. 3. Buy all of your players, re-rolls, etc. and click ‘submit for approval’. 4. On the following screen, select your skills. 5. When ‘Save’ is pressed to confirm your skill choices, there is no pop-up or conformation screen. You can check if your skills have saved correctly by navigating away from the screen and then checking ‘Team Options’ on your team page. You must select all skills before the start of the tournament and may not change them later. 6. Please link your FUMBBL account to your NAF account. This can be done by following the links under your name on your home page. If you are not a NAF member, then please write "Non NAF" in your bio. It would also help if NAF coaches record their NAF nick and NAF number in the team bio section following team creation. This will help us in the future recording and ranking of online games. 7. Inducement(s) you wish to use should be left out of your team creation process and listed in the team bio. Inducements have to be announced before start of the tournament and may not be changed in-between matches! e.g.: at the beginning of a tournament match, select only your announced inducements, as you would normally by spending your remaining treasury as petty cash. 8. Navigate to the tournament team site and use the button at the bottom at the page to apply your team. Please view Strider’s youtube video if you need more details how to create a team. |

SCORING |
• 2 points per coach win • 1 point per coach draw • 0 points per loss or concession • 0 points for both coaches if there is no evidence of communication and the game is not completed by the deadline Tiebreakers are as follows: 1) NET TDs + NET CAS 2) Most touchdowns |
CONCESSIONS |
• No concessions are allowed during a match. Penalty may be exclusion from the tournament and no registration accepted for the next NAF event. The reasoning here is that touchdowns and casulties can be important tiebreakers, so play on to the best of your ability, whatever in game things happen. • If a coach misses their match on an agreeded time without warning, a concession will likely be applied if another appropriate time to play can’t be found. • If the opponents are unable to schedule a match, the organizers will make a judgement call and decide the winner of the match or a draw might be given. • If two coaches end up not playing their round within schedule without informing the admins a concession will be given to both coaches. • Everyone is counting on you to play the 6 rounds regardless of your performance. Dropping without a proper cause will result in denying your registration for the next NAF Online event. |

Forfeits and games against non NAF members are not recorded. |
FAIRPLAY |
• Be cordial on the chat and pm towards your opponent and audience. Any use of offensive laguage towards your opponent regarding racial, political or religious content might result in exclusion from the tournament and 1 year ban from NAF events. • Use wisdom and good faith when agreeing a match with your opponent. • We recommend avoiding Timeouts. However, if you use it, you are not allowed to do it without a first “transgression” and consequent first warning on the chat. Ex: my opponent exceeds the time one turn, I warn him I’ll timeout next time. You can only use a timeout if the other opponent is playing their turn, if they give an indication that they need 5 minutes or similar to deal with a real life event then they can’t be timed out for this. |
