Welcome to the fifteenth installment of the Tournament of Coalitions. You can sign up here, but please click the below link in the TOC directory and post your team in its respective group page. The forum is open and in the directory if you do not have access. If the only place you sign up is in this thread there is a far greater chance of your team getting overlooked.

http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread_list.pl?forum_id=11507

When posting your team name in their respective bracket, please use the following format:

Post the team name - Coalition - Team link

Example - Florida State Seminoles - LoRDs - http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=1136


IMPORTANT CHANGES FOR TOC XV
- Seeding will no longer be solely determined by lolEL. Previous season's trophy winners will receive the top seeds should they enter again in the following season. After those placements, seeding will again be determined by lolEL.
- Due to a shrunken number of participating teams, the National Pro Bracket will no longer be worth more than World League or Casual Pro.






This is the Tourney to prove your group of teams is the best in GLB or if you are a loner, you can beat all of the coalitions and claim your age group. We limit each coalition to 9 teams, but they can enter as many 9 team groups as they want. If you choose to enter as a group, you may have a minimum of 3 teams and a maximum of 9 teams. This Tourney covers Casual and Regular from Pee Wee on up to World League. Pick your 9 teams wisely, every point counts.


Group Leaders:

Have your group leader post your group in the TOC private forum, which can be found in the forum directory. You can also PM myself to get invited to the battle, although your best chance to make sure everything is run smoothly will be through posting in the private forum. It is the responsibility of the leader to make sure all teams are entered properly in their brackets, once the brackets are set they will not be changed. Enter your teams by Day 0, check your teams and respond by Day 1, Day 2 brackets will be locked, Day 2/3 the Tourney begins. All are expected to abide by reasonable standards of good sportsmanship, not doing so can possibly result in the rescinding of your coalitions ability to compete. Please make every effort to schedule your games in a timely manner and make sure your team owners are aware they are in the TOC.

32/64 Team Entries - 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th place trophy

The Winning Coalition will receive the top Coalition trophy as well for every team that participated from that coalition. As well, the top Independent team in brackets 32 or larger will also receive a distinctive trophy.

Coalition Overall Standings: Points shall be awarded based on performance, bracket size and placement achieved in bracket.

6 points - 1st place in 64 brackets
4 points - 1st place in 32 brackets; 2nd place in 64 brackets
3 points - 1st place in 16 brackets; 2nd place in 32; 3rd place in 64
2 points - 1st place in 8 brackets; 2nd place in 16 brackets; 3rd place 32 brackets; 4th place in 64 brackets
1 point - 1st place in 4 brackets; 2nd place in 8 brackets; 3rd place in 16 brackets; 4th place in 32 brackets; 5th - 8th place in 64 brackets

Exact Breakdown of points calculation:
4: 1-6 teams - 1 point
8: 7-11 teams - 2 points
16 12-24 teams - 3 points
32: 25-47 - 4 points
48+ : 6 points

WL, Nat Pro, and Cas Pro - Regardless of entry #
1st - 4 points
2nd - 3 points
3rd - 2 points
4th - 1 point


A basic rule of 25% shall be enforced on each age level for the % of each coalition in a particular bracket.

For instance, in a bracket of 4, 1 team from any given coalition, bracket of 8, 2 teams from any given coalition, bracket of 16, 4 teams, etc...

There are 18 total potential brackets, counting casual, regular and peewee. With that in mind, we shall restrict each coalition to no more than 9 teams, so choose which team will represent your coalition wisely.

Any team may choose to compete in a bracket above their respective team (for example, a reg pro team may compete in nat pro, or nat pro may compete in WL). However, if you wish for that team to represent a coalition in both brackets, they must also use two roster spots within the coalition group.



Scheduling of Games:

1. Scheduling preference is given to the higher seeded team should a conflict arise. However:
2. Either team may schedule the game, please take an active role to get these on time and also PM the other owner to make sure they know that its the TOC game if possible.
2. Regular season games, IF and only IF they are within the rounds time frames, may be substituted, and then only if both owners agree.
3. If you have all 6 scrim slots taken up, and cannot possibly get your tourney game complete in the appropriate timeframe, you can be forfeited for your round.


Please Follow schedule If we get early games in, keep the pace going.
1st round games will be played before day 8.
2nd round games will be played before day 12
3rd round will be played before day 16.
4th round games will be played before day 20.
5th round games will be played before day 24
6th round games will be played before day 28.
7th round games before day 32.

When you set up the scrimmage please select these and only these options:

[x]This friendly is ranked and should be taken seriously
[ ] Results are viewable by the participants only
[x] Use playoff-style overtime rules
[ ] Enable home team abilities
[ ] Enable salary-based morale bonuses

Anybody is allowed to sign up as an independent and play in their age bracket but you will not be in a group or eligible for the "Top Coalition" trophy.

So a trophy is still up for grabs for the age group, just not the overall top coalition trophy?

The top coalition trophy is not the same as the bracket trophies. It is all explained in the huge wall of text

Whichever teams wins their bracket (or 2nd/3rd if applicable) they will get that trophy on their page.

What distinguishes this tournament from the others is the group competition between coalitions. Whichever coalition does the best in the whole tournament, each team in that coalition gets an extra "top coalition" trophy. Avenger this trophy can be seen on the Seminoles page.

Stupid question time. Regarding independent teams. Would it be possible to make an independent coalition for the purpose of getting the TOC title?

I mean what if a group of independents banded together for the sole purpose of winning the title? We band together even though we are not together. Call it the independents. I would be interested in something along those lines and understand it would require independent teams to list together.

What say ye independents-for title purpose only?
