Right, as promised, the BoF is entering the later stages of the tournament so in line with the intention of running presidential voting concurrently with CoH voting, let's say that the time is nigh for the presidential nominations to begin.


Any user on the WCC may nominate one other user for the position of World Cup Committee president, to serve the World Cup 70-72 term. Any user receiving at least two nominations will become a candidate. Any user can decline to receive nominations.

TG nominations to Cairnskillen.

Any users getting two or more nominations will be put forward as a candidate when the actual vote occurs in the usual preferential run-off system. For now, all nominations should be the name of a SINGLE NATION ONLY.

If any users that suspect they may get a nomination really don't want to stand, let me know via TG to the same account, and I'll quietly make sure you're not put forward as a candidate regardless of how many nominations you receive.
The poster of this message is probably Ko-oren or Banija as NSWC Signups is owned and operated by the World Cup Committee, bringing you the finest quality in sign-up threads for NationStates' premier football tournament since 2005.

hey folk- for those who remember me this is/was Tynelia. decided to start from scratch this time and since it looks like i just missed the signups i'll wait til next time to dip my toes back into the WC waters i guess.

Another one to redress the balance! I remember you! Welcome back!

You can always try and sign up on the reserve list. The hosts did mention that they might expand the competition to 210 teams + hosts if demand was there, but I am assuming from some recent posts from them that this will not be happening. But it is always worth a punt until the draw has been made.

Sorry about my RP for those who read it before I posted this. It was prewritten and I posted in a rush, without time to preview. Turns out I'd misplaced some tags, meaning the entire thing was bold and underlined. The problem is now fixed.
