20th World Juniors Ice Hockey Championships - Signup Thread
Once again we are back to the thrilling action of junior hockey, as the sport's premier youth tournament is back for its 20th edition. Traditionally, the World Juniors are a national team ice hockey tournament, which is for players who are younger than 20 years old (which excludes players who are age 20).
This thread will primarily serve two purposes: players can sign up for World Juniors Ice Hockey Championships (referred to throughout this post as the 'World Juniors'), and prospective hosts can submit bids to host the competition. I am tentatively setting the following cut-off date for host bids, subject to adjustment based on numbers/when we get bids.
Host Bid Cutoff Date: 1) 23:59 EST on the 5th of March OR 2) within 48 hours of the first or the latest host bid submitted. Whichever of the two that comes first will be marked as the cutoff date.
In the case, there is another host bid submitted within the 48-hour period listed above, the same provision will be listed above. If the deadline on the 6th comes first, it will be used as a deadline. If not, the 48-hour period after second/third/x-th bid will be used as the deadline.
As a further note regarding host bids- To be considered valid, host bids must contain (at a minimum) details relating to scorination and the format being used. Host bids should also mention whether or not they will use the ranks in the tournament, which is provided at the International Hockey Discussion Thread. Below we have the past few successful World Cup of Hockey bids, so you know what bids for these hockey tournaments are looking like.

1) Sign-Ups
To sign up for the World Juniors, simply post in this thread stating your intention to participate. If you roleplay under a name different from your NationStates account name, please make a note of that in your post. Typically (although this is left to host discretion) nations that Cease-To-Exist (CTE) prior to the start of competition is removed from the sign-up lists; if your nation CTE's prior to the beginning of the competition, you are advised to check on the status of your sign-up and, if necessary, sign back up.
2) Puppet Policy
Each nation will be permitted to submit a second nation for participation as a puppet. To sign up a puppet nation, simply post a sign-up post with that nation as you would normally for the main nation, and note that you are signing up a puppet. Please note which main nation/account it is a puppet of. After this, post a confirmation with your main account/nation. Please note that in the event that main nations wish to sign-up after a hard sign-up limit is reached, puppet nations are the first nations to be booted from sign-ups (apart from CTE'd nations) to make room for mains. Please also note that any additional puppet policy is at the discretion of the host.
And now, without further ado, our sign-ups!
