you already signed up!

Not counting this, we're currently at 38 nations signed up for IAC-12. That's a number we can maybe work with. Unfortunately we don't have any host bids. If anybody is interested in hosting an IAC and you have the time, get a bid up ASAP.

I could possibly put up an emergency bid, but I would really prefer somebody else come forward. We don't have much time, the other regional tournaments are nearly underway now.

For the purposes of understanding the impact of the ranking system on the competition, the RP bonus allocations will be available after the close of the tournament if required.

Do you just mean you will state the max bonus available, or do you mean you will actually make public individual RP bonuses? "Users could earn x points per MD" or "Userstan earned x points for this particular RP"?

Do you just mean you will state the max bonus available, or do you mean you will actually make public individual RP bonuses? "Users could earn x points per MD" or "Userstan earned x points for this particular RP"?

I'll provide whatever is deemed necessary for useful scrutiny of how the ranks work, but I should think the most useful data would be somewhere in between your examples - probably total points earned per user over the tournament and thereby their match average. I think public scrutiny of individual scores linked to specific RPs might not be to everyone's liking, though as precedent set in recent WCs I'd be happy to provide those on an individual basis privately to the specific participant. Though I'm not concerned about being judged for my grading abilities, I'd also say I'm not making the transparency offer for that process but to help us assess how the ranking is working.

[Quintessence of Dust]

I see. Tequilo I love your RPing so I've always wanted to participate in a tournament hosted by you, but I didn't like how SGIS turned out during the last WC and I'm really opposed to any public RP bonuses, so I think I unfortunately may sit this one out. (That's not a threat, just saying, if you win, please consider me and my puppet numbers-puppets-only to be excluded if it makes more convenient numbers.) Nothing personal.
