However, a couple of nations who have qualified have CTE'd, so I might have to contact a couple of people just to see if they'd be up to replace them. Fortunately that shouldn't take me too long since I know a couple of people who could be up for it (I know of one person who is and another who should hopefully be interested in joining) and hopefully I'd get a response from them soon.

Would that list include the reigning RUWC champs? *hint hint*

NS Rugby Board Executive Council wrote:Howdy folks, this is Elejamie just letting you know that the deadline for the Rugby Sevens World Cup host bid voting has passed. Well, technically it passed two hours ago but I just wanted to give people that extra time ( ). Anyway, here are your results:
2 - Alice Bay
0 - Abstain
0 - Re-open host bidding.
Which means that Alice Bay will be hosting the 4th Rugby Sevens World Cup. Congratulations, bud. You may start the tournament whenever you're ready.

This isn't a signup tournament. My understanding of this matter is: If you haven't taken part of any NSRB Sevens Event, you may not participate unless each possible participant up to Lochario wouldn't be able or interested joining it when properly invited. Sad for South Covello, but I think it's fair, considering the RP of the nations up to now.
Alice Bay wrote:I think new solutions will be needed to fit this concept (Sevens Series and Sevens World Cup as independent or interdependent events) in the NS-Sports reality for the next editions. Possible solutions include expanding the tournament for 24 teams or adding a "pre-tournament round" to nations who haven't participated in Sevens Series.

I say "probably" because I'm still waiting to see if Lisander and Neu Engollon would be alright with that; although the latter said that we should wait until we've done a full cycle, I'm not sure if we've actually done one or not.

Pretty sure once this R7WC is done, we have reached a full cycle (Completed RUWC, RLWC, R7WC and 1 7's Series cycle). We should not wait to hold elections. The only reason I could see that happening is if we couldn't come up with any new candidates and the incumbents chose not to be re-affirmed for the election and wanted to step down. But we can cross that hurdle when we reach it.

He did mention wanting to stay on the NSRB Council in some capacity over on the Discord, though since we scrapped the whole Club VP thing since we realised that the club competitions could fall under the League and Union umbrellas I'm not sure what he could do.

I have re-organized the NSRB 7’s 2017-18 Ranking Chart.
This was done using a standard of 3-2-1 points system across the board, regardless of host choice at time of tournament. Players did not earn points for matches played after one or more tournament participants were eliminated. (In two instances, the first match past group stage involved all tournament participants.)
There are reasons for this re-ranking having to do with consistency and fairness. It was also done after serious consultation with the NSRB Exec Council and assistance from veteran players involved with the ranking and organizing of the NS WC cycle (association football/soccer).
The IC thread for the AVBF 7's #4 is now up.

Now I think Elejamie has some announcements...
