WORLD BOWL XX - Sign-up Thread (CLOSED)

Postby World Bowl » Sun Feb 24, 2013 10:47 am

Democracies and despotates! It's that time again, time for the World Bowl, NationStates' premier international gridiron/American football/gridball competition, now in its 20th (well, if you want to get picky, 21st) edition!

Okay, down to business. There's a few things that need to be covered.

1) Sign-Ups
To sign-up, simply post in this thread stating your intention to compete, and I'll add you to the sign-up list. Pretty simple, right?
In regards to puppets, if you wish to sign a puppet up for the World Bowl, please indicate in the puppet's entry-post that it is a puppet, and which master/main-nation it is a puppet of. After that, please post from the master/main-nation confirming that the puppet does, in fact, belong to you. I will add them to the sign-up lists, indicating that they are a puppet. In the event of numbers conflicts, puppets have lowest priority for being booted to make room for master/main nations who wish to sign up past whatever number threshold is set by the host.

Please note whether or not you are a first-time participant. First-time participants are eligible to compete in the Baptism of Iron (similar to the World Cup's Baptism of Fire). If a minimum of sixteen first-time main nations participate, we will also accept hosting bids for the Baptism of Iron.

I am not going to set a cutoff, either a date or a number. That will be at the discretion of whoever is selected as our host.


2) Host Bids
As those already familiar with the competition know, we need a host for this shin-dig. How do we get that host? Those interested submit hosting bids. A good hosting bid should contain scorination information, proposed format of the competition, maybe some IC background information, and a little bit of writing on the subject of why you should be host (IC and OoC info, for preference). You can write host bids from an OoC or IC voice; that is your choice. Once the deadline for hosting bids to be submitted has passed, we will vote on who will host World Bowl XX.

I am setting the deadline for hosting bids at March 15th, 2013, at approximately 5:00pm Central Standard Time (US & Canada). Depending on how many bids we have submitted by that point, the deadline may or may not be flexible; if we have a large number of bids, it will likely be a hard deadline. If we're short on bids, you may be able to squeak in a little late. Preferably, don't do that, though. We will also accept tentative Baptism of Iron hosting bids, which will be found if there is a willing host and a minimum of sixteen first-time participant main nations.

And with that, a new World Bowl cycle begins! What will we see? Will the Allamunnic States win its fourth championship (/shamelessselfadvertisement)? Will some team that's waited patiently see their day? Will somebody new storm to the championship?

There's only one way to find out. Let's get this thing rolling.

Sorry for any confusion, folks; I moved the thread here so that when the new World Bowl President is elected, they will be able to maintain it.

And they are slowly eroded, bit by little bit, on the very beaches where they measure triumph, by countless grains of sand.
