This Is Dry Technical Detail Info.
For a more conversational explanation about what "New Sport" is, visit the musings page:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current List of Teams: https://new-sport.zeropercententertainment.com/teams.htm

Note: If you are unfamiliar with New Sport these details below will be confusing. It is recommended that you look at the musings first.

GENERAL:

There are many rules that will be added in future editions of this guide, but at this time, only a basic outline is being presented.
More rules/details will be added in the future.
In the absence of a formal rule, it is suggested that the Teams Organizers familiarize themselves with the Musings page.
If the wording or understanding of a rule (or lack of a rule) is presented, the Teams are to make decisions in the "Spirit of the game" and not the "Letter of the rule".
If some of the guidelines listed below are unable to be followed by the Teams Organizers, they will need explain to ZPE why they are unable to follow them.
ZPE may give temporary permissions when a good enough reason is presented as to why a Team is unable to follow the given guidelines.
At a later time, dates, deadlines, and uniformities will be specified. They aren't needed at this point.

PLAYERS:

As with most games, it's the players goal to win the competition.
All participants of the States Team must have a primary residence inside of the State of the Team they are participating in. They must reside there at least [ 9 Months ] out of the year.
Due to the nature of "New Sport" it is difficult, in this guide, to tell the players how to win the competition, because the structure and the rules are different every season.
When seasonal arrangements are being created, the negotiations must also include what statistics will be recorded for each player.
The individual player stats will be submitted to the official website with the results from each official competition.
Players are chosen from the list of potential players, using a random number generator.
Players may be considered for removal from future selections if they develop a history of behavior that negatively affects the function of Competitions.

POTENTIALS:

Anyone who is interested possibly becoming a player of New Sport should locate a Participation Group.
We will host groups and forums at the Official Website: https://new-sport.zeropercententertainment.com
Organizers may set up locations for potential participants to express their desire to join one of the State Teams, but Organizers must also check the forums and groups on the Official Website.
All Potential Players are to be combined into a list that is shared between all competing State Teams.
The list of Potentials is to be used for the creation of Teams using a Random Number Generator.

ORGANIZERS:

In this section, the term "Organizers" can refer to anyone within the Teams decision making structure of the team, besides the Players.
Generally the Teams organizing structure starts with one [ 1 ] person who then brings others into it.
Structures can take many creative forms, we won't limit those structures here.
Some functions between ZPE and State Teams may require some specific connection points, the Organizers will establish these as required.
ZPE reserves the right to question, remove, or replace anyone within the State Teams Organizational Structure.
In times when Organizers are unable to agree on negotiations, and the lack of agreement may delay competitions, a 3rd party decision maker must be chosen.

Potential Player List Handling:

All Official Teams will have access to the compiled List of Potentials Players.
The List of Potential players is to be used for team creation using a Random Number Generator.
A maximum of 100 lists can be generated for consideration for Team selections.
After every 3 games, Teams are able to choose individual positions and replace those positions using the Random Number Generator. [ 100 generations maximum ].
If the option to replace individual positions is taken, there is no maximum number, but there is a minimum number of three [ 3 ] positions that must be replaced.
Several Lists preparation to increase travel convenience for local locations may be allowed

Competition:

The safety of the players must be considered.
Criminal Activity is not to be taken part in.
Requirements can not be created that both teams can not conform to, due to lack of equipment or otherwise.
Each Team is to provide their own referee who is competent in the rules.
A method of settling disputes between disagreeing referees must be agreed upon.
The agreed upon rules of a Seasons Competition must specify how a State Team can be considered the Definitive Winner of the Competition.
When multiple teams compete, a random number generator is to be used to determine which players will be on each team during the competition.
It is the Organizers job to make sure that all competitive events are video recorded and uploaded to a place online where others can watch it.
It is the Organizers job to record the agreed upon player statistics and submit them to the main website along with the outcomes of Official Competitions.
The negotiated terms for Official Competitions will be recorded to the Public Record, but Unofficial Competition matches may happen.
Results from Unofficial Competitions, including Player Stats, have no consideration in the Official Record towards results that would determine Winner of the Season.

STATE:

All participants of the States Team must have a primary residence inside of the State of the Team they are participating in. They must reside there at least [ 9 Months ] out of the year.

NATIONAL:

The Defending "Home" Team is only able to use Players from the State the competition is taking place in.
The Invading "Visitor" Team is able to use Players from any State within its Participating Territories.
