I think the easy sign-up process makes it an attractive place to get started for people that are new to NS Sports and don't know what we're doing.

The Indian dream a bid for WBC 42
ic info
Azadeshia
Azadeshia (LinkHindi: Azadaishi, Telugu: Ājādēsīyā, Tamil: Acatēsiyā) officialy known as Democratic Republic of Azadeshia, is a country located in the region of India.It has a population of about 588 million people and it's growing fast.It is bounded by the Azadeshi Ocean in the south, the Golden Bay in the southwest and Bandinagar Sea in the southeast.It borders with Indusse to the west, Northwest Kalactin to the north, Upper Calcutta and Jhalpharezi to northeast.It has a colony in the Azadeshi Ocean called Kejri Islands.
Etymology
Azadeshia's name is not from a person's name or surname.The word "Azad" means "Free" and also the word "Desh means "Country", so it basically means the the country of freedom.
Other Info
There are a lot of stadiums in Azadeshia, but no stadiums for baseball, so we decided to play baseball in cricket stadium, we change the cricket field into a baseball field.Azadeshia is also a really sunny and hot place, because of being too close to the equator.The city halapur is like 40° and the coldest Kosala is like -68°.

northwest kalactin
Northwest Kalactin is a democratic monarchy ruled by hue Ñene and Queen Marie sports are very popular in Northwest Kalactin and Northwest Kalactins royal family does not have political power the royal family is queen Marie, King Rory, Prince Damon and princess Johanna
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gold Coast. The average income tax rate is 62.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Northwest Kalactinian economy, worth 112 trillion Rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 126,581 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

the Indian dream a bid for WBC 42

After looking it over and contemplating the bid and wanting to consider it valid, I am afraid that I cannot at this point as there is no mention of how RP bonus will be applied.

Once that is spelled out, I can then move your bid forward to be put up against Free Republics.

In the meantime, you should also:
-- Fix your scorination link instead of showing something from a yahoo search result.
-- Fix all the spelling/grammar errors to make it appear professional.
-- Explain how the playoffs will be structured.

I did see that you put "wip". Please only post a finished product in the future, no works in progress. If you can't do the entire bid in one sitting, do it in Microsoft Word or equivalent word processing program, and then submit to thread once the bid actually is complete.

[North Prarie]

The Democratic Republic of North Prarie
Bid to Host the 42nd World Baseball Classic

Sports in North Prarie
North Prarie recently joined the international stage on NS Sports, but sports in North Prarie have been going on for decades. The country's most popular sport is Superball, a sport that is a mix of football and basketball. the 2nd and 3rd most popular sports are Baseball in 2nd, followed by Soccer (or football). The North Prarie Sports Commission was formed for hosting and entries in international sports competitions. The most successful sports team in North Prarie is Durham City FC, who have won 18 League Titles.

Resume
As before mentioned, North Prarie has recently joined NS Sports, therefore has not yet hosted a tournament. However, North Prarie has many GE&T 500 Companies who would be happy to sponsor the tournament.

Format
Group Play
If the number of teams, 45, stay the same, I will have 9 groups of 5 in the tournament.
Playoffs
During the Playoffs, I will seek to use a round-robin style of play. There would be 3 groups of 3, consisting of 3 winners from the Group Play. The teams would all play each other once, and whoever has the most wins would move on. For tiebreakers, I would use head-to-head matchups. The winners of those groups would move on to the Championship Group, where they would all play each other once, and, like the previous round, whoever has the most wins wins the tournament.

Scorinator & RP Bonus
I do not currently have a scorinator downloaded, but if my bid wins I would seek to use the latest version of xkorinate.
A RP bonus will be added at 505 for the Group Stage, then no bonus for the Playoffs. A roster bonus will be added on as well
Stadiums
North Prarie has many stadiums for use in the WBC. I would have each group be assigned a stadium, so here are the ones I would pick (these are RL stadiums):

Prariean Airlines Field
Host for Championship Group, a Playoff Group, and Group A.
Prariean Airlines Field is a stadium located in Durham, North Prarie. It was built in 2010 and is the home stadium for the Durham Angels in the North Prarie Baseball League. It seats 39.5 thousand people.

Bank of the Atlantic Park
Host for a Playoff Group and Group B
Bank of the Atlantic Park is a stadium located in downtown Stonebridge, the capital of North Prarie. It was built in 1999 and is the home stadium for the Stonebridge Cubs in the North Prarie Baseball League. It seats 47.9 thousand people.

Pompeii Park
Host for a Playoff Group and Group C
Pompeii Park is a stadium located in Highland, off the river coast. It was built in 2000 and is the home for the Highland Scotties of the North Prarie Baseball League. It seats 44.2 thousand people.

Swift Stadium
Host for Group D
Swift Stadium is a stadium located in downtown Wescott, the 4th largest city in North Prarie, behind Stonebridge, Durham, and Highland. It was built in 1998 and is the home for the Wescott Twins of the North Prarie Baseball League. It seats 48.3 thousand people.

Military Island Field
Host for Group E
Military Island Field is a stadium located on Military Island, in the city of Coastside. It was built in 2001 and is the home for the Military Island Jets of the North Prarie Baseball League. It seats 41.9 thousand people.

Thank you for your consideration.

Scorinator & RP Bonus
I do not currently have a scorinator downloaded, but if my bid wins I would seek to use the latest version of xkorinate.
A RP bonus will be added at 505 for the Group Stage, then no bonus for the Playoffs. A roster bonus will be added on as well

Two questions

One: what is 505?

Two: Before the first game day I have a big RP planed. Will I get a RP bonus for that if this bid gets voted in?

[Darmen]

<snip>

Some further questions I have for the bidder:
1. Why no RP bonus for the playoffs?
2. More importantly, please explain what RP bonus is and how it will be applied in the scorinator?

That last question can also be asked towards Azadeshia and Northwest Kalactin.
