Not too long ago ESL announced the 2010 DoD:S Nations-championship and as the start of the tourney comes closer, they have announced more information about the rule set and dates.
At the moment, they are planning to have between 24 and 28 attending nations and they're decided to split them over 4 groups.
As announced before, the sign ups will end on this Sunday (tomorrow), so far we have 21 sing ups, but some nations that announced their attendance, are still missing! The rosters are still open for any changes until the 10th of February. After this deadline the rosters will be locked and only a maximum of 2 new players can join the account. From all active players in the team accounts we will randomly draw 3 players for the passport check.
Who those players are, will be announced on Friday the 12th to the team captains. Every drawn player has time to submit his passport copy to a special email account, announced together with the list. The emails will be checked by one admin, who is not an active player in the event and every email will be deleted after the passport check!
If a player with trusted 2 status or higher gets selected the request counts as fullyfilled. Also we are going to contact additional players, who are suspected of faking their nationality. Those players will also have to upload their passport copy until the deadline and they will be excluded from the 3 checks per nation rule.
Every selected player has to submit their passport copy until Monday the 22nd on 23.59 cet. If a player fails to upload their copy by then, he will receive 3 penalty points and remains as barred for the nationscup, until he submits a valid passport copy.
If a player is being suspected of faking his nationality fails to submit his passport copy, he will receive also 3 penalty points as well as a one month long barrage.
As in the football World Cup we will also use 4 different seed pools.
Those pools are determined by the size of the local communities, the amount of teams competing in the international top-tier, as well as the results in former nationscups.
The top seeds are reserved for the big nations who managed to get great results last year. The Scandinavian scene is represented in the medium seeds, whereas the low seeds have Belgium, the Czech Republic and the entire American continent competing.
Top Seeds:
France
United Kingdom
Spain
GermanyMedium Seeds:
Finland Sweden

Czech RepublicUnseeded pool:
All the remaining nations.
Since the Nationscup will run in the off-season we will have a tight schedule with two group matches per week.
All groupstage matches will be played with 2x20 Adminmap.
For 24 Nations attending the shedule would look as followed:
-
Match 1: Monday 22.2.10 / 21 cet /dod_argentan
Match 2: Wednessday 24.2.10 / 21 cet /dod_harrington
Match 3: Monday 1.3.10 / 21 cet / dod_anzio
Match 4: Wednessday 4.3.10 / 21 cet / dod_lennon

The Mappool for the Playoffs will be:
-
dod_anzio
dod_salerno
dod_catania_rc2
dod_argentan
dod_coire_rc3
dod_lennon
dod_harrington
As known from the EMS, every nation has to announce their lineup and a statement aswell as a working public SourceTV with at least 100 slots 24 hours before every match. If a nation fails to do so, 3 Penaltypoints will be given away (one for the statement, one for the lineup and one for the STv).
Additionally we will use the nationscup as first test run for our new Aequitasrule:
If a player can't upload his aequitasfile because of an error, he has to open a support ticket within the next 24 hours and explain his problem. If the error code is a known one and the solution to the problem is written down the Aequitas FAQ or the user has the error code for a second time after a solution to that problem was explained to him over the support ticket before, penalty points will be given away.
We wish every Nation and their supporters nice matches and a smoothly running ESL Nationscup 2010!
