Trilakean Stadia

The Road to Success [FINAL STADIUM]

The Road to Success is the most famous Lakean Stadium, with the capacity to hold 70,000 fans. The Road to Success is famous for how the most dramatic matches take place there. Like the Lakean final last year, Corporations United 4-4 Free Hill (7-7 AET, 178-177 pen.). The Road to Success is a really different stadium in almost every kind of way, from structure to how the air feels when you breathe it. Noone comes back as he enters. A magical experience indeed. Holy Lake FC's official stadium, built by White Watêr SA.

The Big Arena

The biggest stadium in Trilakea. However, the least safe too. The Big Arena is famous for its age: 164 years. It wouldn't be a surprise if it collapsed. This is improbable anyways so the TFA has put it as part of the possible stadiums for the 4th CE. It can hold up to 202,040 people, an incredible monstrosity. It's believed that if the stadium ever reaches its maximum, it'd collapse in 10 hours, according to scientifical studies. Free Hill's official stadium, built by LEPSI Company and Rock a Cola Company together.

Holy Lake Stadium

A stadium near Holy Lake, rather big and much used. It's believed that matches in this stadium are set to be extremely boring, with both teams without sinning in their style of play. Noone knows why. This stadium holds the record for the most 0-0 ties: 2312. This stadium's capacity is 50,000, small for a Lakean stadium, but big for the average world stadium. This stadium is home to Holy FC, four times winner of the Lakean League. Built by the state.

Financial Lake Stadium

Can hold up to 70,000 spectators. Much like Holy Lake Stadium, this is a stadium near Financial Lake. Financial Lake Stadium is famous for the incredible amount of advertising with which the spectators are bombarded pre, mid and post-match. Built by a big group of corporations to promote themselves with the advertising, all this companies have free access to advertising, and have developed high technology to even affect the fan's vision during the match. They make the fans hallucinate advertisements. Capitalism at its best.

Blue Cross Stadium

Blue Cross Stadium is last time champion's Blue Cross AC's home. It's a big stadium that can hold up to 100,000 people. Unlike The Big Arena, Blue Cross Stadium was designed by the finest architects, built with the finest materials and with the best workers. Built by the team, which happens to be owned by a corporation called Flake's Water Industries. Really new and holds a mystery as most stadiums. The first goal of the match is always scored on the same goal.

Tomorrow's Lake Stadium

Tomorrow's Lake stadium. Built by Microhard. Can hold up to 40,000 people, the smallest stadium in this bid. Home to Free Lass FC, almost relegated last season. Advertisement is something people who attend matches in this stadium are used to, maybe not reaching Financial Lake Stadium's level of advertisement, but not far away from it. There's a tendency to sell more tickets than seats available to get more money, so expect some fans to see the entire match in an awkward position.

The Windport

The Windport. The most mysterious of all these stadiums. The Windport can hold up to 70,000 spectators. But isn't what makes it attractive to the average non-Lakean. The Windport holds many ghost stories. It used to be home to the Windian Mafia. It also collapsed twiice and is believed to have the ghosts of all those who died there. Up to the date, 230,000 Lakeans died there, and it's said by foreigners that they can hear voices there when they visit. Not the home stadium of any team. Built by Water n' Guns R us, now impossible that it collapses, luckily.

Sunrisian Stadia

InComm Arena

Built in recent years, was the first stadium of NSI to be built with the basis of multi-sporting. The InComm Arena also has its outside covered with eletric panels, who shine in several colors. The stadium is used oftenly by Northern Sunrise Islands in various sports, such as how the stadium hosted the finals of the Champions' Hockey League in its thirteenth edition, both NSI Cup finals and NSICA's Football Championship finals. The main hosted teams by the stadium are the Matthew City Senators (Hockey, Football), Matthew City Senators (Hockey, Football) and the Davestone Eagles (College Hockey, College Football). It will futurely host Dartmouth Big Green (Volleyball, Rugby, Water Polo) as soon as these leagues start. Its capacity is of 125,000.

Union Stadium

Originally named the Allejo Stadium, was built in 1995. The stadium is in the nation's capital, Mardi and was named based on then Minister of Sports, Allejo Santos. The biggest stadium of Northern Sunrise Islands in means of capacity (seats 150,000), the most important teams that play at the Union Stadium are the Mardi Lopunnies (Football, Hockey), Marendi Stars (College Football, College Hockey) and futurely the National University at Mardi Marills (College American Football).

Estádio Princesa das Ilhas

By the name, you should expect that the stadium is placed in the Portuguese-speaking part of Northern Sunrise Islands. Translated as the Princess of the Islands, this stadium has a capacity of 100,000 and is arranged as a crown that is colored mostly in sea blue, white and sand yellow. In the front, there is the statue of the Princess of the Islands, a charming woman who used to live years ago but died after a battle between Carnival and Dover. Hosts the final of the tournaments hosted by the Carnival Conference at NSICA and the Carnival City Samba, also recieving bigger games from teams such as Desportivo January River.

Snowflake Stadium

Shaped as a snowflake, this stadium is mostly based on the legend of Lyn and her Froslass, who also originated the nickname used by the Lynder Frosslasses (it isn't a typo, at Lynder, Froslass is Frosslass.). With 100,000 seats, the Snowflake Stadium already has obtained fame with the Lynder Frosslasses team, hosting NSICA Hockey national final and also by hosting several small tournaments of ice skating. The city of Lynder is not as in the sport of football like other cities, but tend to like it too.

DuBeaux Stadium

On Arrendine, the DuBeaux Stadium is a 75,000 seater that is coroated mostly by its closer areas. Placed in the rich district of Jeuneport, the DuBeaux Stadium is named after Madame Elise DuBeaux, important figure in NSI's history. Built in 1980, was originally used for horse races, and later on designed for sports such as soccer, hockey and tennis. Important hosts include the Arrendine Remparts of Hockey and the Jeuneport Sportif.

Estadio San Jose

Estadio San Jose is placed in the spanish-speaking island of San Jose. Home of the San Jose Sharks, this 75,000 seater has its wall painted as a shark tank and is coroated by the pitch of the stadium looking like a decorated sea, though in green.

Brief Information about the nations:

Trilakea

Trilakea is a nation located in Terrabondante, which covers three lakes that are vitl to the economy (Holy Lake, Finance Lake and Tomorrow's Lake). Its language is a version of english, called Trilakean english. There aren't many differences except that some verbs acquire even more uses (example: "What a nice shirt you're wearing" can be substituted by "What a nice shirt you're using) and that possesives can be used in both possible ways (Tomorrow's Lake and the Lake of Tomorrow are both acceptable in Trilakea, same wiht everything else). Lakeans are nice people and a bit cultured, but not too much. They're overall educated and will answer any questions asked by a stranger.

Northern Sunrise Islands

Northern Sunrise Islands is an union of several islands that instead of going with the name of United Kingdom, decided to work as a Republic. Multi-culturalist, NSI has more spoken languages than the usual, but that's mostly because of their formation and most people have knowledge of three languages of the country, so it ain't hard to get along. Weather is surprisingly nice, something hard to see at most places and during the period that the tournament would be played, NSI would be in summer, which would eliminate the probability of snow, and make it tougher to see snow at the Snowflake Stadium, per example. In conclusion, NSI has a pleasureful ambient from which all Esportivan countries could benefit of while playing. So, hop aboard!

OOC Information

Format:

Will be announced while we have an approximate idea of how many nations will be partaking, but we'll be striving for groups of 4.

Experience:

As Farfadillis I've hosted the U-15 World Championship. I've also scorinated leagues with Farfadillis, Dandillis, Hujukialand, The Great Dandish Empire, Trilakea and Charruterra in the Interantional Domestic Soccer Newswires and my own newswire. I scorinated the final matches of the CEdC. I was the host of Friendly Cup 5, with Hujukialand. All of them were received with good comments. I think I'm pretty capacitated for the CE, seeing as it's got just a bit more activity, if not equal or less.

Northern Sunrise Islands isn't really a host of several international tournaments, with the only ones that could be on that category being the Campionato Esportivano di Campeones, the first Unzucneru Cup (nowadays named Unzucneru Gold Cup) and the Sunrise Hockey League (in the extent that some of the franchises involved were from another owner). So what is the main experience of NSI? Domestic Leagues. Lots of them. If it is a puppet of Northern Sunrise Islands, it will have a national league. Sure none of them have very strange formats (with the exception being Matthewsiania's eighty-team two-tiered league]), but that just shows that NSI has knowledge and dedication to work.

Scorination:

xkoranate0.3.3 (NSFS Formula, additive)
We'll use the rankings create by Apox, found here. Or in the OP, but if you're feeling classy, this is the way to go.

RP Bonuses:

0-3 per match. However, 3 points will be awarded to simply the best of RPs. This would be a 1.8 to me. This way, excellent RPers will probably do even better, and we could avoid things like Swyft's elimination last CE. There's no exact scale as to how RPs are rated, they'll be rated also a compared to other RPs too. If the one before you got a 2.0 and yours is slightly better, we won't accidentally give you a 2.0, you'll get a bit more. It's still all subjective, however, the only thing for it not to be subjective would be an RP/no RP criteria. There won't be any bonus degradation to allow for more active nations to have higher possibilities of being succesful. Pre-CE RPs will be rated 0-1.
Rosters, however, are a complete other thing. They'll be rated from 0 to 6, and will be a great shot at starting a good campaign, someone who wants his roster to have a 6 should bare in mind that....
....we'll be judging this:
Neatness. (Avoid this)
Inclusion of pictures (Kits, Federation image, Line-up, Pictures of every player if you're feeling extremely creative and pretty much anything you wnat)
Detail (Self-explanatory)
Humour (Won't have much importance)
Cohesion (It shouldn't be confusing)
Coherence (It should be understandable)
Grammar (To a much lesser extent)

Why a joint-host bid?:

I've noticed that some people *looks at Darmen* haven't noticed why we want to submit join-host bid. It's something self-explanatory, but it ought to be explained apparently. As it's quite obvious by now, all new nations wishing to host WCC-sanctioned events need to submit a join-host bid with a senior member. Otherwise, you'll get no votes just as Lymantatia. Getting join-host experience doesn't sound bad, and granted, it may even make it harder, but experience makes it better. Plus it can provide for more IC detail, which is something I really like.

[Islo Aiz ens Islo Dorne]

Swyftlandre's puppet here. I assume I won't need to confirm, as you already know this is the truth.

[Ares-y-Penthesilea]

You know what, I'm game for a bit of mythology inspired RPing, let's do this thing.

[Swyftlandre]

Things you need to know for this tournament
We will be rating the RP form a scale of 0-1. 0 is no RP, 0.25 is poor RP, 0.5 is an OK RP, 0.75 is an excellent RP, 1 is a marvellous RP. That's my scoring method.

Boring Paradise will scale his RP's from 0-3. 0 is no RP, 3 is a very good RP. These bonuses will be added to the ranking of the team. Rosters will be included with a scale of 1-5.

This seems a fairly bad idea, why would you have different scales for rating your RP's. When a team from BP's Groups meets a team from your Groups, they are likely to win. You should choose one scale or the other, not have two individual scales.

OK, I'll agree an RP rating score with BP. He likes to scale his RP's from 0-3, but I fear that using that might lose us the bid.
