Qualifying Tournaments - signup

Welcome to the Qualifying Tournaments, the prelude to the team sports in the XVIII Simlympic Games!

Qualifying Tournaments are held to prune the number of competitors in certain events for which there is a limit on the number of competitors in the games proper (normally team sports). The Tournaments are held in the two weeks prior the the games Opening Ceremony, and are like having all the preliminary rounds early.

The Tournaments are not hosted by the main games host, but rather are held in other countries of the sim-world. Current ISC policy is to offer the tournaments first to unsuccessful Simlympics bidders. Tournament hosts are expected to supply venue pictures and associated information, and to be available for a two- or three-day period between May 21st through June 5th to post the results, similar to how its done during the Simlympics.

For the summer games, there are 16 qualifying tournaments to be held, in the following sports:
Baseball (Mens) - Folland (Archean)
Basketball (Mens) - New Holland (RepublicMaster)
Basketball (Womens) - New Holland (RepublicMaster)
Football (Mens) - New Chandler (K50)
Football (Womens) - Folland (Archean)
Handball (Mens)
Handball (Womens)
Hockey (Mens) - Kingston & Boyce (ottoh11)
Hockey (Womens) - Kingston & Boyce (ottoh11)
Rugby Sevens (Mens) - Kaskasia (2b2gbi)
Rugby Sevens (Womens) - Kaskasia (2b2gbi)
Softball (Womens) - New Chandler (K50)
Volleyball (Mens)
Volleyball (Womens)
Water Polo (Mens) - New Holland (RepublicMaster)
Water Polo (Womens) - New Holland (RepublicMaster)

You can apply to host two tournaments in your country, however we will try to accomodate as many people as possible so don't despair if you only get one. Allocation is made on a first-come-first-served basis.


The XVIII Simlympic Games - so close you can smell them

I have a city that is capable of hosting Mens and Womens Baseball and Football. (Do you mean American Football? Or Soccer?)

Its the everyone-except-'Murica definition of Football

Between the four Archean wants, assuming he will be limited to two, I'll take the other two, if that makes sense

K&B will go for the Hockey Qualifiers

I would like Rugby Sevens, if that's alright.

Dang it Jon.

We will take Basketball, if we can.

Anyone else?

Anyone want more?

Meh, I won't be hosting any this time...

If need be, as a last resort I can also do Water Polo.

Also, if any of the hosts are feeling keen, you can cross-post the qualifying tournaments in the ST group here. If you do this, please tag your thread "XVIII Simlympics".

Cheers,

If no one else is going to do it I'll pick up Handball and volleyball.
