INTERNATIONAL WATER POLO FEDERATION // FÉDÉRATION INTERNATIONAL DE WATER-POLO
Rankings (post-WPIC I) // WPIC I // Previous Host Bid // Discussion Thread


NationStates pre-imminent, most prestigious water polo championship is back for its second edition of play, pitting the best hydro-poloists in the world in one pool to determine a new champion and pave the way for hydro-poloists to come. In its maiden edition, the West Phoenicia water polo team took home the crown, defeating the Kebecois team 8-6, this time however, perhaps its your turn to shine? The world is hungry for a new champion, the aqua gods have cast their tridents. It is your time to rise.

Please put all OOC/discussion questions and comments in this thread, sign-ups and host bids should be directed to this thread. As water polo is a rather small tournament, we encourage newer nations to bid to host, however, a bit of experience in scorinating and rping on NS Sports is required.

Bids
The IWPF encourages you to take a look at the WPIC I's winning bid particularly if this is one of your first attempts at hosting.
The deadline for host bids is Wednesday, July 5 Sunday, July 23rd.

So, bump, we're filling up quicker than expected and we've drummed up a lot more nations, so, if we get to 16 ahead of schedule, I will unlock the cap and we'll take as many as we can get.
We also need a host bid.

Does the number of participants need to be a power of two?

Also is there a standard form we should be using?

In. I'd be up for hosting, but I'm only available until the 1st of August, so we'd have to be done by then... (shouldn't be a problem with 16 teams though)

As I, (Darkmania) want to find out how far a nation can go without RP-bonus, I've decided to send a puppet to be maybe the last one to sign in.

Hiklarmaniga signs in with the triode being HIK, and as a puppet of Darkmania.



NOTE: I use the name TIDS Hiklarmangia as in-character, forum-only name, in reference to The Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia (FYROM).
Sign me up as TIDS Hiklarmangia!

This is a puppet for Darkmania.

This is mostly only used for joke RP with"of the best English that is of perfect". If I accidentally use this instead of my main, then blame Canada.

In-Character, Forum-Only Name is TIDS Hiklarmangia. (The Indipendenent Darkmanian State)
