Introduction
This is the official signup thread for the Campionato Esportiva 34, Esportiva's longest running and biggest sports tournament. This football tournament has produced 17 different winners, with Nephara/New Sideburn and Brenecia holding the record for the most Campionato titles with five apiece, and Apox having three titles to their name. The most recent winner of the tournament held in Zeta Reka & Hugeltaldom was Tumbra, winning their second title against the hosts.
Signup Instructions
All nations that are in the region of Esportiva may enter. Nations will be accepted provided that they remain in Esportiva from their sign-up to the end of their participation in the competition, which means that a nation is allowed to move into the region halfway through signups and still sign up. However, participants cannot have participated in the draw of another regional (AOCAF Cup, Copa Rushmori, Independent Associations Championship, CMFA Mandalanusa Cup, CAFA LigAnaia) for the current cycle. Nations who leave Esportiva or CTE after signups are closed will be treated as withdrawn nations, with the protocol for withdrawn nations applying suit.
Ultimately, however, the decision on who participates will be up to the elected host of the tournament.
Second-time and after users are entitled to enter two nations, with one on puppet status which should be declared and confirmed by both nations. Kindly note that puppet signups may be purged from the entry list as per hosts' discretion, and normally the first puppets to be dropped are the ones signed up the latest. Nations entering with a different in-character (IC) name should include this in boldface in their signup to be recognized.
Hosting
Signed-up nations who intend to host the tournament should post their bids in this thread to be considered for voting. There is no prescribed number of users to host, though usually solo or joint host bids from two distinct users have been the norm for these kinds of tournaments. Bids posted should have the following information: How the tournament will be run (format), how the scores will be generated (scorination tool and parameters), and why should participants entrust you to run the tournament (OOC information and experience). The previous successful bid for the tournament is posted in the header for reference.
Bids will be opened by the time signups are open and will remain open within two weeks from opening the signup thread. Once the first bid is posted, other nations are given 5 days to submit competing bids. Voting will begin after and last for 3 days.
In case no bids are posted within two weeks, the CE committee may put up an emergency bid within the week succeeding the two-week period, which may be withdrawn once a proper bid is posted.
Other Information
This thread may be used in lieu of the regional message board (RMB) for CE34-related discussions, and will serve as the discussion thread upon closure of signups.
The organisers of this tournament reserve the right to make adjustments to the admin side of the tournament in case needed. Should you have any queries, don't hesitate to ask Tumbra via the usual channels (TG, RMB, and the NS Sports Discord channel).
