==Terms and abbreviations in sports roleplaying==
 
  
Sports-roleplayers invented their own slang and use it in #[[Sport]] in the [[Internet Relay Chat]] and several of their threads in the forums:
 
 
===Stages of the World Cup===
 
 
'''WCQ''': World Cup qualifiers
 
 
'''GS''': Group stage
 
 
'''2R''': Second round, also called:
 
 
'''Ro16''': Round of 16
 
 
'''QF''': Quarterfinal
 
 
'''SF''': Semifinal
 
 
'''3PPO''': Third place playoff
 
 
===Sports tournaments===
 
 
'''WC''': [[World Cup]]
 
 
'''CoH''': [[Cup of Harmony]]
 
 
'''U21WC''': [[Under-21 World Cup]]
 
 
'''BoF''': [[Baptism of Fire]]
 
 
'''EC''': [[Eagles Cup|The Eagle's Cup]], a friendly tournament started and hosted by [[The Eagles Nest]].
 
 
'''FHWC''': [[Field Hockey World Cup]]
 
 
'''CC''': [[Cherry Cup]]
 
 
===Game terms===
 
 
'''AET''': After extra time
 
 
'''APK''': After penalty kicks
 
 
'''og''': own goal
 
 
'''FA''': Football (soccer) association
 
 
'''System Karela''': a tactic known as all-out-defense, Catenaccio or (especially by fans from [[Cockbill Street]]) "the most boring tactic ever". The name was invented by [[Rejistania]]n newspapers since [[H1SR]] team Karela Lines regularily uses it.
 
 
'''System Jesejil''': a 4-5-1 tactic, often in combination with pressing, named after the city Jesejil kali in nanti ligat. The rejistani U21 tends to use it since years.
 
 
'''System Imdila''': Hexen Imdila, the first coach of the rejistani national team, often used a 4-4-2 tactic. In the "propaganda war" with co-coach Ha~e Hangila, the term System Imdila for this tactic was used.
 
 
'''System Hangila''': "propaganda war", the second. Ha~e Hangila had to hear the term System Hangila for his more attacking 3-4-3 formation. Both expressions lost their negative conotation entirely and are used neutrally.
 
 
'''System Takil''': A rejistani expression for All-Out-Attack (2-3-5). It's name derives from the fact that coach Laxtu Takil used it in the World Cup qualifiers.
 
 
===Somehow related to sports roleplaying===
 
 
Here many things are mentioned, which do not belong anywhere else. Also IRC-slang, unique for #[[Sport (IRC Channel)]] can be found here:
 
 
'''Abysmalistan''': The home of failure.
 
 
'''FSS''': For [[Slani]]'s Sake
 
 
'''[[Margaret]]''': The one who is to blame when things go wrong
 
 
'''TIY''': Totally Inflated Yen, this currency loses value so rapidly that no one writes the prices of products at all. Often used for bribes, especially aimed at [[Margaret]] or the host nations, since it is easy to get trillions of them.
 
 
'''WTSH?''': What the Slani hell?
