*Due to the fast-paced nature of sevens, where matches last 15-20 minutes (including breaks) and there are usually at least five matches per day, we're ideally looking for the one stadium to host it, though two is acceptable if it's in the same city or area and if we get a LOT of sign-ups. The deadline for host bids will be Sunday 18th April at 00:00 UTC (or Saturday 17th April 18:00 CST); voting will close exactly one week later on 25th April at the same times.
