Kelssek enters and submits following hosting bid:


Image

Format
Given the number of entrants in RWC27, I am aiming for 40 entrants, giving 8 groups of 5 where the top 2 advance to the round of 16. There will be (approximately) 48 hours between scorinations, i.e. one day on, one day off.
Added 28 September:
Standings points system: 4 points for a win, 2 for a draw, 0 for a loss. Teams will be awarded a bonus point for losses of 7 points or less, or if they score 28 points or more (this aims to emulate the system in use at the real RWC which awards a BP for scoring four tries (20 points), given that the types of scoring are not specified). Group stage standings will be decided by, in order: a) standings points, b) the winner of the match between the two teams, c) points difference, d) points scored, e) coin toss.

Technical
xkoranate 0.3.0 will be used set on rugby union SQIS. Style modifiers -5 to +5 (additive) will be accepted. No home advantage will be applied. Relative RP bonus will be used.

Infrastructure
Kelssek has a well-established track record of successfully hosting the multiverse’s largest sports events. Kelssek has hosted the Summer Olympics twice and the Winter Olympics once, both events of greater complexity than the World Cup. Kelssek also co-hosted World Cup 46, as well as the World Cup of Hockey and Rugby World Cup on multiple occasions.

It is a country of soaring mountains, vast wilderness, natural beauty and frigid winters. Its population of over 153 million is easily stereotyped as a bunch of bilingual commie sports nuts. As a multicultural, immigrant society, it is one of the world's most cosmopolitan nations. As a leading tourist destination, Kelssek draws well-heeled sophisticates and grizzled adventure-seekers alike to its lively cities, unspoiled wilderness, organic local handcrafted unionized vineyards, and completely epic skiing and mountain resorts. Politically, Kelssek consists of a centralized federation of 12 provinces and one territory, governed as a republic under a system of parliamentary democracy. Its economy is largely composed of co-operative enterprises and companies directed by democratic worker’s councils.

Kelssek boasts high-quality transportation infrastructure, with the Velocit high-speed train system being the most cost-effective method for shorter trips. Velocit trips between eastern cities like Outineau, Neorvins, Redswyth, Clayquot or Breton take 2-7 hours. Trips from the coast to the interior take longer, with 11-hour overnight trains that run from Outineau or Kirkenes to Burnaby, and a similar time from Latrobe to Ulyanof. The same trips take 3.5 hours by air.
