Who are you? You might know me better as the user behind Karditan. I'm bidding with this nation because soccer is illegal in Karditan, and it'd be a little difficult to avoid the authorities on that large of a scale. My previous hosting experience includes World Bowl XX, the Third International Championships, and a plethora of domestic leagues.
What is Falconwhereveryouare? It's a rather hippie-dippie nation on the northeastern tip of the Rushmori supercontinent. You're free to do anything you like within its borders, save do drugs, or offend anyone, or assault anyone, or try to start a business. Unfortunately, due to the banned nature of airplanes (and cars), you'll either need to fly to neighboring nations Taeshan or Filopines and take a train across the border or take a boat directly to one of Falconwhereveryouare's port cities.
These are usually co-hosted. What's the deal? Because Falconwhereveryouare is enough of a name to fill in for two nations! No, but really, I asked around a bit before and the hosting apathy around here seems to have stricken the forum badly. I'm still willing to co-host with a senior partner, should they come forward (and be fine with the details set out in the rest of the bid), but I'm perfectly fine with running this solo if I have to.
What scorination method would you use? Xkoranate 0.3.3, SQIS formula, additive styles. RP will be well-rewarded, of course, as this is a participation tournament.
What format would you use? Ideally, I'd like a 48-team tournament. 8 groups of 6, single-round-robin, This is to allow for maximum participation, as I'm anticipating a very good RP turnout this cycle.
If my expectations fall a little flat, as sometimes happens, and I can't find enough suitable nations, I'd opt for 8 groups of 5, single round robin. With either method, the top two teams from every group would advance and the rest of the tourney would follow a standard 16-team knockout bracket (with Group 1 first place facing Group 2 second, Group 1 second playing Group 2 first, etc...).
Tiebreakers would be Points, then, GD, H2H Results, then least Goals Allowed (because that's just as arbitrary a tiebreaker as GF). If all else fails, a tiebreaker match would played.
What criteria would a nation need to fulfill to get an invite? Putting effort into their RPs. It doesn't have to be Lemmitania-length, but if you consistently post RPs that aren't half-assed, you're definitely getting consideration (especially with the expanded scope I'm using).
Any potential complications? Yes, but nothing too serious. I'll be on vacation from July 4th to about the 13th, the latter of which is about the time the WC finals are planned to begin. However, I should have easy access to the internet while away, so I should be able to get everything set up fine. (My RPing is almost surely going to take a hit in that stretch, but I'll still be on to do my potential hosting duties.)
I'm also hosting the Copa Rushmori de Beisbol at the moment, but I seriously doubt there'll be any overlap.
If you have any questions, feel free to post them below or shoot me a TG.
