For an explanation of Twenty20 cricket, see here.
Signups and host bids should be posted in this thread, simply by saying "We sign up" or similar.
Host bids will only be entertained from users who have previously participated in a GCF event (the World T20, GCF ODI World Trophy, or a GCF Test season) and shown an understanding for the game of cricket. Previous host experience is strongly encouraged.
In your host bid, please indicate how you intend to score the games (including information on whether any scorination files have been modified from anything publicly available), what format you will use, and what tiebreakers you will use. IC information, while welcome, is less relevant.
Puppet signups will only be entered at the discretion of the eventual host. There is a maximum of one puppet per user, and you must have previously entered a GCF event (the World T20, GCF ODI World Trophy, or a GCF Test season) to enter a puppet.
The deadline for host bids is Sunday, 11 October, at 12:00 UTC (i.e. one week from now), after which there will be a host vote. Host voting suffrage will be open to any nation signed up for the tournament which is also a GCF Test full or associate ranked member or that participated in both the 11th and 12th T20 World Championships.
