I suggest you take a look at General Sports Roleplaying Questions Thread, as well as just read how RPing is done around here. NSSport has a very set system to it that it adheres to, it's all about finding that out. Feel free to join the irc channel at www.esper.net and join the channel #nssport and ask questions there as well. My biggest tip to you is to never stop asking questions! We'd rather you ask questions and make mistakes than just do things by yourself with no clue as to how to do things.
Cheers!
Who needs armor, as long as you can go on a rampage for a few hours to turn the system on its head, then slip back into the shadows.
get a closet, bruv...
Hi all, I'm a returning "player" of the game and enjoyed the sports RP side of things first time round. I always fancied joining AO for it's activity, so I finally grew some man balls and have come to squat in your garage. I plan to join in soon once I've designed my domestic competitions.
The royal kingdom of quebec, Farfadillis, Cosumar, and Eshan
Welcome.
I like that we've been getting returning old-timers. :)
I don't like not knowing who they are. :(
Welcome Eusland!
If I could remember what the hell my old nation was I'd have used it, but it's quite nice to have a clean slate. I only appeared in 1 or 2 World Cup's so I'm no threat!

If you need to be added please use the appropriate thread in the ao forum www.atlantianoceania.com
I love the nuclear symbols on it, making sure people stay away from the wastelands of AO.
How often do you simulate domestic seasons? Is there a cycle I should follow?
The average is two per WC cycle, but truly most people just play it by ear with regards to the UICA competitions. Now normally that means 2 per WC cycle but sometimes if CH has a heavy workload it becomes 1.
Those were certainly some acronyms! What is UICA and CH?
UICA is our equivalent of UEFA. It encompasses the Champions' Cup and Globe Cup (our equivalents of the Champions League and Europa League). After your domestic season, you can send your qualifying teams to these competitions to compete against those from other nations by posting in the "International Domestic Soccer Newswires" thread on the forum. CH stands for 
Commerce Heights, the dedicated nation who organizes these events.
CH - Commerce Heights, the person who developed the xkoranate scorination application, and who runs the UICA. The UICA is the collection of competitions that are our version of the Champions' League, Europa League, and Super Cup. However we also have a Youth Champions' League and Serie B Champions' Cup. These competitions are the Champions' Cup (CC), Globe Cup (GC), Youth Cup, SBCC, and the Super Cup. You'll see these abbreviations in the International Domestic Soccer Newswire (IDSN) 
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3108 as well as the Cygnus Cup (Cyg) which is a Cup Winners Cup run by 
Valladares, there is also the Atlantian Oceania Champions' League (AOCL) that I run. When you post your league final standings, you'll put an info box that lists your entrants into these events, with an example coming at the end of this post viewtopic.php?p=29018320#p29018320 .
I hope that helps.
Thanks for the information, both. Can I enter whatever competition I like, or is it better to go for the 'lesser' tournaments first?
As a new nation who has no association coefficient (which are published shortly after the Final of the Champions' Cup in the same post) you are entitled to entrant into the CC, 3 in the GC, 3 in the SBCC, and then if you have a Cup you can enter the winner into the Cyg. If you so choose and stay in AO, you can enter your Champion into the AOCL as well. As you move up in the association rankings, you may eventually be able to enter 2, 3, or even 4 nations into the CC, expanding your pool of international entrants from its current 4 up to 7. As a suggestion, if you do have a Cup, most people tend to have the Cup winner be the third entrant into the GC.
Thank you very much. That's quite a few entrants. I was only planning to have a 12 team top tier, but looks like most will qualify for a tournament.
The top tier teams don't enter the SBCC, so 12 teams in the top tier is ok (I have 14 myself)
95X LOLs when getting issue number 535 (the one about NS itself), checks a news site where Cleveland is still the RL NBA Champions, ends LOLing.
This is gonna be one long summer.
