Signups
Welcome to the Premier Professional Basketball tournament in the NS Multiverse. This here is Abanhfleft, the fifth president of the esteemed International Basketball Organization, calling in nations one and all to signup for the 30th edition of the International Basketball Championships, otherwise known as the IBC. Anybody can signup, and users can submit up to 1 puppet (which must be declared). Be warned that puppets will be the first to be purged if the need arises to create a round number for the competition.
How do you signup? Well, like every other NS Sports competition besides a select few, just state your intent in the thread. Looks something like this, perhaps?
This also counts as a signup for Abanhfleft, of course.Abanhfleft wrote:Abanhfleft is in!
Host bidding is open for anyone who thinks they can tackle the task. Host bids don't necessarily require anything by rule, but if you want any shot of winning hosting rights, you should include information on format, scorination method, and RP bonuses. The deadline for submission of host bids is two weeks (+two days) from the time of this post, ending at around 10:59pm Philippine Standard Time (UTC+8), on 8th October. After that, there will be a week-long period for IBO Committee Members to send in their votes for an eligible host bid. At the end, the host will be selected based on the vote count, and signups, timing, & everything else with IBC 30 will be turned over to them.
In the interest of time, if there are 3 hosts bids for the IBC, cutoff for host bids will simply be 24 hours after the 3rd bid is posted.

It's been five months since my election as president and the previous edition of this tournament, something that would not have happened had I nominated a vice president to stand in for me while I was busy forgetting I was IBO president in the first place. Therefore expect a vice president to be named sometime after the opening of signups.
