World Lacrosse Championships 42--(SIGNUPS CLOSED)

Postby World Lacrosse Championships » Wed Jan 04, 2023 12:32 am

The World Lacrosse Council announces the preliminary stage of the 42nd World Lacrosse Championship tournament.

The WLC has endured to take its' place among the oldest continuous multiverse tournaments; there is a long tradition of first time entrants making rapid progress up the rankings over the course of two or three cycles as well as providing opportunities for nations to gain their first experience in hosting a major event.

The WLC is open to national teams consisting of rosters made up of single gender, mixed gender, mixed species, or even sentient beings. However the tournament operates under the rules for the men's game in terms of number of players, physical contact, etc.

This is also the thread to submit a host bid to have the WLC circus come to your nation. The nature and size of this event means it is an excellent place to get your first "major sport" hosting experience.
Tentatively, the Commonwealth of Baker Park plan to make a bid to host the Championship for a third time. This is partly to expedite the process between opening of entries and the first matchday.
HOWEVER, no legitimate bid submitted by any WLC member, as defined in Article I, Section 1 of the WLC Constitution shall be rejected except through the voting process outlined in Article IV, Section 1 of the same.

If this is your first time signing up for this or any NS Sports competition, it's very simple: just make (1) one reply to this post stating that you wish to participate; it can be as informal as "in" or "me" or you can make it more formal, if you want.

With that, let's play some Lacrosse!!

Postby Commonwealth of Baker Park » Fri Jan 13, 2023 9:31 pm

The Baker Park Lacrosse Association, under the leadership of Chairwoman Dawn Thornton is excitied to present our bid for 42nd World Lacrosse Championship.


Hosting experience: 31st & 37th WLC, AOLC, 2 World Cups, 2 AOCAF tournaments, AOlympics rugby sevens, Under 18 World Cup.

Proposed format:
Single round robin format, with cutoffs every other day.

We are not in favor of 4 team groups for this tournament unless the group stage is double round robin. That is not off the table, but we are placing our bid hopeful that will become a necessity.

up to 20 teams—groups of no fewer than 5 teams each, with the top 2 in each group, along with the 2 best 3rd placed finishers advancing to the knockout stage; the top sides seeded into to the quarterfinal.

21-28 teams—groups of 5-7 teams each with the top 2 advancing + 3rd placers, same knockout format as the 20 team single round robin proposal.

28+ teams—groups of 5-7 teams each, top 3 finishers advancing to the knockout stage; group winners seeded into the quarterfinal,

The factor at issue is how many teams would advance to the knockout stage. The WLC have used a 12 team format for much of the previous 13 tournaments Baker Park has participated in, and this seems to be a good number if entries are more than 20. The question would be if that is a reasonable target if there are only 16 entrants, or 18?


Scorination: standard xkorinate formula, using the official WLC rankings.

tie-breakers would be head to head points, head to head goal difference, goals scored, and overall goal difference, and coin flip (OOC extra tie-breaking match).

No drawn matches during group stage (OT in all matches). 2 points for a win, 1 point for an OT loss.

RP: roster bonus equal to one full MD of scoring. Daily RP based on factors of quality and orginality of writing. Use of AI generated writing is discouraged, but not prohibited; graphic enhancement is encouraged. Users who do not consider English their native language will not be penalized for awkward phrasing or structure--if I understand the point you're trying to make, it's fine.

All RP bonus will be accumulative throughout and reasonably generous. This tournament has a history of rewarding users who show effort and creativity.

The floor is open to questions and comments.

Thank you for your consideration.

Alternating cutoffs, having done both in the past they are not as time intensive as the World Cup. And I have nothing but time on my hands. I did have some thoughts of not hosting both in a potential overlapping timeframe. But I don't think it will be a problem.
