Rugby World Cup 2023 - The Charterlands

(1/3) > >>

Lauren:

Among the nations of Mundus the Charterlands was rather unique. It was a kind of Federation of sorts but with no cohesive cultural, linguistic or ethnic ties bringing the people together. It was for these reasons that Charlotte Reenberg, the leader of this rag tag of charters, had wanted to host the tournament. For a few short weeks it would be unified by hosting the nations. Several of the guest nations had links to the various Charters and as best as could be achieved those nations were funnelled into Reenberg via those. Their cultural cousins keen to make a good impression. All roads though lead to Reenberg Isle both metaphorically and physically. The Isle was the nations capital and as such vital to the nations maintainence but it was also where the final would be played and now on this sunny May morning fans and players from across Mundus arrived.

They were greeted by waves of volunteers handing out flags and banners. The streets of the capital were filled with vendors selling foods and keepsakes. They had arranged street performers and there were Dragon-Dancers from the Lijiang based charter, steel drummers from Kermah and everything in between. Finally as fans entered the stadium blue and white banners of the nation hung everywhere.

By early evening everyone had settled in and the opening ceremony could begin. First there was a display of drones set to music, hundreds of perfectly choreographed machines flying in formations. Their dance done they ascended vertically away out of the stadium. They were replaced on the running track with various horse riders drawn from the various charters and their unique cultures. Soon they too were replaced with marching bands drawn from each of the many Charters, some ranging from vast swathes of land while others came from tiny towns masquerading as nations. The final part of the opening was to allow those players who wanted to greet the crowds and as one mass of players they entered the arena. Once in place the Charterlord, a rather misleading name stood and addressed to crowd. Lady Charlotte Reenberg may have the title Charterlord but the name was merely old and ceremonial. "Ladies and Gentleman I'm proud to welcome you all to the Charterlands. Centuries ago my ancestors came here with two dreams, the first to make a success of themselves and the second to live in peace regardless of people's differences. Today those two dreams are shared by every player here. I wish them as much good luck as possible. I look forward to some tremendous sporting action and sharing our homelands with the world. May the best teams win."

OOC - A rundown of how the scoring works points wise:

1) A team gets 4 points for a win, 2 points for a draw and 0 points for a loss as standard but (see below)
2) If a team scores 28 points (the equivalent of 4 converted tries) they gain a bonus point if they win
3) If a team loses by 7 points or less they get a losing bonus point
4) A team may only receive 1 bonus point per game so you cannot score 28 points and for example lose 28-33 and pick up two bonus points.
5) Positions are sorted by overall points then points difference then points scored, then by fewest points conceded and if it's still tied after that Ach will be flipping a coin to determine.
