EspoT20 II Everything Thread (with a bit of other stuff)
Welcome! This is the thread for rosters and host bids for the third edition of the EspoT20, the first time the tournament will not be hosted by a pre-determined nation. The first two editions were both won rather comfortably by Sylestone (EMOJI) but with more and more Esportivan nations becoming forces to be reckoned with, obtaining a three-peat is going to be more difficult than ever.
Signing Up
In order to sign up, you must be in Esportiva at the time of posting and remain there throughout the signup period, although each individual case can be considered by the eventual host if required. For the first time, too, a roster or squad list is required in order for a signup to be considered valid. At its most basic, this can consist of eleven names off the top of your head, but some information about each player is recommended, whether it be their batting hand, bowling style, both or something else. Rosters can also be incredibly detailed. Please do not edit rosters into signups. You will have plenty of time to create one.
Host Bids
As well as being the place for tournament rosters, host bids must also be posted here. In a host bid, technical details (such as scorination methods, tiebreakers etc.) and OOC hosting experience are required, while some IC information is also recommended. It is entirely up to the host whether global T20 ranks are used, and it is strongly recommended that potential hosts take the recent discussion pertaining to xkoranate’s output in some fields is taken into account. Potential bidders must also post a roster in the thread by the bidding deadline (August 13 at 10:00pm UTC), or in a week from now. From there, host voting will take three days, giving users ten days to create and format a roster. All questions as a result of a bid should be asked in the thread, but any further discussion should take place on Esportiva’s RMB.
Puppet Policy
Any participating nation may enter one (1) puppet, but no more than that. Puppets of participants should be considered to be the first to be removed, in order from the latest to sign up. All puppets must be declared by the main nation.
