Qualifying Tournaments for the XVII Games

Welcome to the Qualifying Tournaments, the prelude to the team sports in the XVII 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 fortnight 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 (hence you may miss out if they want the same events). Tournament hosts are expected to supply venue pictures and associated information, and to be available for a two- or three-day period between September 22nd through September 30th 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) - *Wacky32
Basketball (Mens) - Kingdom of Hispania
Basketball (Womens) - Kingdom of Hispania
Football (Mens) - *K50
Football (Womens) - *K50
Handball (Mens) - ottoh11
Handball (Womens) - ottoh11
Hockey (Mens) - *simcityguy78
Hockey (Womens) - *simcityguy78
Rugby Sevens (Mens) - ggamgus
Rugby Sevens (Womens) - ggamgus
Softball (Womens) - *Wacky32
Volleyball (Mens) - Qorten
Volleyball (Womens) - Qorten
Water Polo (Mens) - *Simul8ter8

On those grounds, can I take men's and women's football please? I've got several venues from the Galanos bid to do that

ahhhh, gdmnit. =D
you win, i'll take handball again. =D

The United Kingdom of New York would like to host Men's and Women's Hockeyqualifying games.

I'm sorry I forgot the "unsuccessful bidders" rule. And I'm pretty sure I didn't bid for the Simlympics.

I just hope that rugby, or just one game, is left over after the bidders choose their games.

If the ISC would allow CitiesXL cities then I might consider hosting either the basketball or volleyball men's and women's qualifiers. How many venues would be needed?

If you did one of these tournaments in real life, you'd need heaps (100+ teams). Doing it here, we're not too bothered with that so a couple of nice venues would be good

The city of Derramo, Dantanaea, would like to host either the volleyball or basketball men's and women's qualifiers, with a preference for volleyball.

Hey I would love to pick up water polo! In the unsuccessful bidding city of Ikoshima.

Baseball and Softball, I'll take it if its still up.

The kingdom of Hispania would like to host the baskteball tournaments in the city of Bahía de Esperanza

And we have them all filled up

Muskoka is offically passing... because of the previously mentioned issues.

Hehe, I'm ready for this!

I've already got the pics 'shopped and all that...

Teddy City would like to qulify for the following:

Football (men)
Volleyball (men)
Volleyball (women)
Softball (women)

Also the Teddy City Nation Convention and Visitors Center can convert to a hocky stadiem or makeshift dorms for athletes.

First off make sure you choose 2 things.

Also signups are full so you're going to have to wait until next time

Just curious, but can I create the Rugby Sevens Qualification topic yet? I wanna put a few beforehand pictures...

Well, you gotta have the results sent out to you first

LOL, I don't think you understood what I said.

"Beforehand pictures"... that means stuff before the results themselves. I'm making advertisements, screenshots, news, et cetera... I'm asking if I can start the topic now to post THAT stuff.

LOL I know what you meant

Joe would send you a PM and in the message it says:
"Please post the tournament in the main Games forum sometime between now and DATE [DD] [Month]."

Well, okay then. Tee-hee.

I already said when the results are to be posted in the OP.

how would you post it then
