Zula Sportsball League
Because Huttball just isn't Imperial
Because Huttball just isn't Imperial
In a bid to continue raising the morale of the people of the Zula region, the Dark Lord has seen fit to re-commission another season of the Sportsball League for a 5th Season. A violent game, where five players struggle for control of a ball which they aim to throw or kick into the other team's net. The game is very clearly influenced by the Huttese sport, Huttball, but with the refinements that come with being in the Empire.
Forming a Team
To form a team you must first make a successful Wealth and Influence roll against a Wealth Rating of 5. This will allow you to create a team name, team logo and the five distinct personalities of your first five players.
- Your first five players are given freely as part of forming the team, but they must all be either Novice Defenders, Novice Midfielders, or Novice Attackers (see below).
- A team may only have five active players at any given time, but you may have additional players in the reserve list to swap out before any given game.
- You can purchase additional players for your team (or have them purchased for you) using the W&I system and the relevant ranks below. You may also propose events through the usual routes to acquire new players.
- You should try to be colourful with your team name, logo and players.
- A template has been created so you can post your team roster below this post, and it will then be added to the team list.
Statistics
Each player has four statistics, Attack Power, Midfield Power, Defence Power and Star Power. The combined score for five all five active team players is what decides the teams total statistics.
Attack Power - Decides how many D20 you roll when attacking.
Midfield Power - Decides how many D20 you roll when attacking.
Defence Power - Decides how many D20 you roll when defending.
Star Power - Determines how many re-rolls your team has to use throughout a game.
Purchasing Players
Beyond your first five players, you can choose to purchase additional players using the W&I system and the Wealth Ratings listed below.
Type | Wealth Rating | Attack Power | Midfield Power | Defence Power | Star Power |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Novice Defender | 3 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| Novice Midfielder | 3 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Novice Attacker | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Experienced Defender | 6 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 |
| Experienced Midfielder | 6 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 |
| Experienced Attacker | 6 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Star Defender | 9 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 1 |
| Star Midfielder | 9 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Star Attacker | 9 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Big Name Player | 12 | * | * | * | 2 |
Big Name Players have a * in Attack, Midfield and Defence, this is to represent the player being with a big name in that area and so they can move their 1,1,2 power points to different spots.
Example: Big Name Player (Attacker) - Attack 2, Midfield 1, Defence 1
Should there be any changes to your players or new players added, contact Atonur to have them edited within the team list.
How a Match is Played
Each match is played in four quarters, with each quarter beginning with a round of midfield play. Midfield play requires players to roll a D20 for each point of Midfield Power they have. For every roll of 15+ they score a success. The player who gains the most successes in midfield may then decide whether they wish to attack. In the event of a draw, the player with the highest total roll wins midfield play.
The attacking team then roll as many D20 as its teams Attack Power permits, with each roll of a 15+ counting as a success. The defending team do the same to try and block the attacks, with each roll of a 15+ counting as a success. The attackers score a point for every successful attack that is not blocked. The defender scores a point if they roll two more successes than the attacker.
For example if the attackers rolled 4 successful attacks and the defenders rolled 2 successful defences, the attackers would take a 2-0 lead. If on the other hand the attackers rolled 1 success and the defenders rolled 3 successes, the score would be 0-1 to the defender.
Once the first quarter is played, the second quarter begins with another round of midfield to decide if the winning player will attack or defend. Once all four quarters are played, the match will end in either a victory for one team or a draw.
League Play
The number of weeks the league will run for will be decided by the number of teams participating, but each week a team must play a different team in the league until everyone has played every other team. So if the league has six teams, it will last five weeks.
A win grants three points, a draw one point and defeat gives no points. Should the season come to an end and two teams are on the same points, the team with the highest goal difference will win, and should the goal difference be the same it will go down to head to head.
There will be a mid-season break halfway through the season for a month before play continues.
Once a match is played, make a small match report and post it below; please include who has scored and the general score of the match.
Sponsorship
Teams will be able to be sponsored by outside sources or businesses belonging to other members of the powerbase. Should a sponsor choose to invest they shall have a personalised small ad if their team wins, running alongside the result of the match played.
Owners of the teams are not permitted to sponsor their own team, and instead are free to negotiate with other powerbase members on a deal that might fit them both. This gives those with small upstarts or larger businesses to get more eyes upon their dealings.
They shall also have their name beside the team upon the team list.
Rewards
The top three teams in the league, at the end of the season, will win a hefty prize for their teams owner(s) in the form of wealth, influence and their players increasing in stats. Naturally first place will win the highest prize, then second place and so on.
Playing Together
A team can be owned by multiple player characters, allowing them each to contribute their monthly W&I rolls to buying better players.
