NationStates

If there is still space we`re in, we are a relatively small and new nation in relation to the sports side of NS so we would like to give it a try to gain experience.
(P.S. If there is no space notify before starting the tournament, as i will probably be annoyed if there is no confirmation).

I'm new here but want to in!

I will officially replace PSR as he is my puppet

Yes, you are ineligible to have a puppet per the posted rules. Therefore, Pripet Socialist Republic has been struck from the signup list, and Northwest Kalactin has been added. As of Nurwiji, we now have 38 nations signed up for IAC-5.

Kalactin, normally you shouldn't be eligible to sign up, as you were a member of AO at the time this was posted. However, since you were a participant in IAC-4, have not competed in any AO-specific events, and withdrew your puppet correctly to make room for yourself, I am letting you in on a special exception. In the future, try not to skip between regions, especially during regional cup season.

Now that that's out of the way, we now have to have the host selected. 3 total nations sent in votes. Due to these results, Free Republics will host IAC-5, after a voting margin of 2-1. Sorry Yanghoon, don't let this discourage you from voting in the future. It was a close vote, after all.

All operations regarding IAC-5 will now be given to Free Republics. I will close the signup thread whenever FFR says it needs to be closed. We're now 2 nations away from 40 total, the closest mark outlined in his bid.

Might as well take a shot at this.

Thanks to the 2 of you who voted for me. I'm going to close the signups at 40, which means there will be 1 more spot.

I'll have the everything thread up sometime tonight and will conduct the draw once we get to 40. The earliest possible start date will be July 8th though I may start a few days later depending on how the schedule for the big 3 regionals shapes up. Since there's plenty of time to fit this tournament in, there will be around least 48 hours between all cutoffs.

As promised, the Everything Thread is up. We still need 1 more signup.

WE'RE SIGNING UPPPPPPPPP!!!

And with that, signups are now CLOSED. The draw will be conducted in the morning.

IC information and the draw are now up and I can confirm that the first cutoff will be between 45 and 47 hours after the time of this post.

I will be delaying the start of the tournament by 24 hours. All later matchdays will also be pushed back accordingly. The schedule will be updated later tonight.
