Who And Why?
That would be the Atlantian Oceania nation of Valanora and Esportiva nation of Sarian who are looking to maintain and uphold the heritage and traditions of NSSport's most long running sports competition. This bid is a call back to the ideas and traditions that have allowed the World Cup to endure and prosper. Valanora is a historical nation full of intrigue and diversity aplenty with a welcoming populace eager to assist others in any way they can. Sarian is a relatively new to the international scene but one full of promise and enthusiasm.
What are the machinations?
In accordance with the theme of the bid, we will be looking to use a traditional software in NSFS, using the most updated of versions, 3.0.1. In this edition of the software, maxpoints, the ranking of a squad, and the style modifier of a squad can be altered on any matchday, much akin to its predecessor in the NSFS 2.7, that was used to great extent through many of the pre-NS hosted forums and a few of the NS hosted forums cycles. The RP bonus is also to be allocated on a cumulative nature, though the exact number of KPBs available per matchday will not be provided.
Our format would prefer 20 groups of 8 nations each, though it may be modified to a variety of formats if the signups dictate, which could include 10 groups of X nations with double matchday scorination, except for the first and last MDs. If our preferred format of 20 groups of X nations is used, then the group winners would advance and a two legged playoff between the second placed teams would be used to determine the remaining 10 qualifiers.
Should nations be tied on points after the Group Stage, the tiebreakers will be as followed: Goal Difference, H2H result, Wins, Goals Scored, and if needed a coin flip.
Past Experience?
Valanora has a plethora of hosting experience, the user having hosted WCC events no less than eleven times, as well as other major tournaments, including the DBC,WCoH, and AOCAF, and routinely scorinating the AOCL. The user has the adequate experience and the nation the infrastructure to host such an event should they be awarded the tournament.
Sarian has hosted the Beltane Cup, WLCs 17 & 19 and Baptism of Fire 57, alongside the usual domestics.
With the outline of our bid now laid out, we are open for questions regarding it from the World Cup community.
