The Chicanada Sports Federation, while still waiting to see just where our nation will land from the current Limbo state, would like to send the Kodiaks to compete in AOCAF XII.

We are considering a bid to host, as a means to properly introduce the nation to the region and all we have to offer in terms of...well, everything. We should make a decision on it as soon as we've settled onto some land.

Minister, Chicanada Sports Federation

P.S. As the rookies, we wish to be the doormats, even with our recent ties against much better AOCAF members.

21 nations signed up, this can start very soon... or would do if we had a host. Milch, is your provisional bid an actual bid?

Chicanada will formally bd to host the AOCAF within it's territory. Without having a second bid country, Chicanada's bid is actually identical to the Legalese/Macabees CoH bid up over at the NS forums (of course, not actually hosting it in either country, so no comments about that

). More info provided shortly.

Dual bids are not required for the AOCAF (nor have we ever had one)

Considering that Chicanada has a hosting then I'll withdraw my provisional bid it was there just in case nobody else hosts.

Are you sure Milchama? I'd love to see a competitive bid process rather than be handed it.

Anyways, here's what the bid does look like:

Scorinator I use NSFootySim for everything and will use it here. I'll utilize the current AOCAF rankings* along with -5 to 5 codifier for playing style to sim results throughout the tournament.

RP Bonus I cannot judge RPs for the life of me, so it will not be a rated bonus. But if you do RP, it will increase your team's ranking going into a match.

Organization of AOCAF XII Finals

Opening Round - 4 groups will compete.

Groups A-C will see 5 teams compete. Group D will have 6 competitors. #1, #2 and #3 will be seeded into A-C, while #4 and the hosts (us) will be seeded into D. The rest of the draw will be done through pots based off current rankings.

All groups will have 4 games count towards advancement. Group D's lowest finisher will be tossed, and the results against them will be removed from every nation in positions 1-5.

Top two from each group will advance to the Finals. Quaterfinals will have A1-B2, C1-D2, B1-A2, D1-C2 and go from there.

Hosting Sites
Astur City Stadia, Cana
Stadia Lis, Acadia
Douala Palace Football Complex, Douala
West Coast Stadium, Cana
Depot Centre, Cana
Wolves Den, Jaxx
Strikers Fieldhouse, Star Point
New Governess Palace, Livingston
TroutCo Field, Cana
Southampton National Square, Southampton

Semifinals: Depot Centre; TroutCo Field
Grand Finals: Southampton National Square

Any questions or inquires or whatever, let me know!

*Note: Chicanada would ask to see it's rank modified from all the way at the bottom due to it's international competition experience. It of course will understand if this is declined.

Oh, and Vilita and Turori are competing seperately...right?

Chicanada, the AOCAF rankings take into account partly the KPB rankings, but mostly its based on previous performances in the AOCAF. So, don't worry you'll be nicely near the bottom.

I hereby declare Chicanada the default host for AOCAF12, then! If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask us/me. You'll have your own subforum mod powers and everything soon.
