Crystilakere & Melmond
WORLD CUP 21

Yes, it has been announced, that the FAs of Crystilakere, the defending World Cup champions, and Melmond, home of one of the strongest domestic leagues in the world, have teamed up to present a bid for World Cup 21.

Here is the information behind the workings...

scorination system: We will use java leagion as it is a very easy to use system

groups: Our size and amount of our groups will completly depend on how many nations sign up for the World Cup. We may also institute a home and home playoff system for the final leftover World Cup spot permitting how we set up the groups. Flexibility in this category to maximize participation in the World we feel is one of our greatest strengths.

RP bonus: We know that RPers have different strengths in different places. So we set up a system which rewards in all those different places. We shall reward on quantity, quality, and frequency equally..so one won't be favored more than the other. Quantity will be determined by number of characters used. Things like rosters and statistics will not count. Quantity is a cumulative bonus. There will be a clean slate for the World Cup itself. Quality will be determined by the scorinator. Frequency is well self-explanatory..did you post or not? Also in this World Cup is a momentum bonus...where team coming of a win will get a bonus, a tie will get you a lesser bonus, and a loss comes with no bonus. The momentum bonus I feel adds a bit of realism along with some chances for some up and coming side to actually take down a big one or a big one pulling off what Rejistania did to Ravea. As for the actual amounts taken or how we determine this, we would like to keep it a secret so we can keep an element of surprise and suspense to increase the fun of the World Cup.

We are both experienced at hosting tournaments and would be honoured with the chance to host the pinnacle of sporting spectacles.

The Oaker Sharks would love the chance to beat Melmond in Melmond in a world cup finals match. how sweet that would be.

Hmm...bid looks good, and I definitely know Melly can host....best of luck guys.

I really like the momentum idea in the rp bonus. i thikn that could be a nifty little addition and help some teams when they get on a roll.

The Vilitan & Turori FAs would like to Acknowledge This bid, which would bring the cup back to Atlantian Oceania for a 3rd straight time. We will decide which bid to officially support at a later date.

Without Wasting Time.....we Give Support to This Bid and Hope That the CRYME team wins....why? well look at the Bid, It explains everything from Bonuses to Groups. And its all in a little cuttly Small area...in other words, i did not have to read for a whole 20 minutes to get sense of the hell he was saying.

The scorinator is statisically sound in TEN's eyes.

I do not vouch for any bid, but merely anaylze the scorinators at this time.

First off, we must state that we feel that the World Cup would be a wonderful centerpiece to our symbolic announcement that the heart of the Exclusive Capitalizt Zone is still alive and well and that we are in a new area of peace and prosperity. We hope to have that privilege. But now without further ado...

Melmond's Stadiums for World Cup 21

Before the stadiums used for the Melmond portion of World Cup 21 are introduced, let me take you to a theater in Melmond City, where a live action version of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast are being performed. In this scene which best describes the Melmond presentation of stadiums, Gaston is now played by the now infamous Melmond musical star Stillint Hecloset, known for not only his immense talent on stage, but his excellent essays. Melmondian actress Paige Binder has finally been replaced by a younger actress in Brooke Staples plays the part of Belle.

Gaston: How can you read this stuff? There are no pictures?
Belle: Some people actually use their imaginations.

We ask of you to do what Belle does, use your imagination with these stadiums. Most are based on actual stadiums, but most of them are so altered from the original basis that I decided not to show pictures. Well enjoy the Melmond stadiums!

Melmond Bowl II
Location: Melmond City, Melmond
Seats: 92,542 (Open Air)

Melmond City is the capital and largest city in Melmond. The United Postmodernist States of Melmond grew from this ancient city which was said to be visited by the mythical light warriors. Anything and everything happens in the megalopolis known as Melmond City. The original Melmond Bowl was destroyed in the socialist invasion, but the Melmond Bowl was brought back with most of the original features, plus more. The Melmond Bowl was built so that Melmond would have a national stadium of sorts as well as have a centerpiece stadium for a World Cup bid. It was built with football first at mind as it is the home of the 4-time Melmond Premier League champion Melmond City Blues. However, it also hosts events like the Exclusive Capitalizt Zone Olympics as well as many other athletic and non-athletic events. The stadium itself has a throwback bowl shape, but with all the modern amenities of skyboxes, a jumbotron, and lots and lots of restrooms for the 92,542 who can fit into the stadium. New in the addition were some more architectural additions, such as murals commemorating the expulsion of the socialist invaders and a botanical promenade just outside the stadium. Expect this stadium to host three group matches as well as the World Cup final.

Microcosm Football Colossuseum v. 1.1
Location: Aldi, Melmond
Seats: 97,474 (Open Air)

Aldi is the second largest city in Melmond and is on the coast of the Aldi Sea. It is known for its beautiful weather and gnarly surfing. However, this town does seem to have an inferiority complex to the larger Melmond City and the more glamourous Unne. One sign of this complex is that the city of Aldi felt it had to build a bigger stadium than Melmond City to still look like a world-class city. With that and the sinister brainchild of Microcosm of Melmond, the Microcosm Football Colossuseum was built by those subconsciously hypnotized by the talking dolls made by the company and Matmel which brought people from other cities in Melmond and far away places like Bedistan and Commerce Heights to build this monolith for free. Unfortunately, the socialist invasion destroyed the stadium which is ironically the home of the club side Aldi Reds. Microcosm of Melmond is currently working on a stronger hypnotizing transmission device to bring those who have the Matmel talking dolls of various Melmond players back to rebuild the stadium. Under those hypnotic orders, the stadium will look just as is before the invasion happened, hence the version 1.1 added to the stadium. This stadium is the home of the Melmond Premier League club Aldi Reds. The stadium is in the shape of the most perfect circle a sentient being can create. However, the pitch is in your traditional rectangular shape to keep the fans near the action. Of course, being that Microcosm of Melmond is the sponsor of the stadium, this is one of the most hi-tech stadiums with air-conditioned stands and two jumbotrons. Of course as with any prerequisite for a stadium this size, lots and lots of bathrooms! This stadium will host three group matches along with the semifinal.

Feliz-Unne Stadium
Location: Unne, Melmond
Seats: 48,000 (Open Air)

The city of Unne is Melmond’s third largest city and is said to be the most fashionable city in the nation. The city was named after the famous Dr. Unne, in which Melmondian legend claims that he taught the Light Warriors an ancient language which helped rid the world from Chaos (the evil being, not the concept). Descendants of the Unne family make their home in Unne and are a sort of unofficial royalty in Melmond. Four members of the Unne family: Critandi, Gina, Diallo, and Charles have played for the Fearless Farmers. Feliz-Unne Stadium is one of the first football-specific stadiums in Melmond as it was built due to the success Melmond had in the Cup of Harmony also along with success the Unne Yellows club team had early on in the footballing history of Melmond. They expanded the smaller Feliz Stadium by 30,000 seats. It was funded by the Unne family, hence the name. Seats are almost right on top of the pitch, and in the humid climate of Unne, it can make opponents claustrophobic. This also makes it a large yet intimate venue for world class football. Some of the closer seats to the pitch actually retract in to make room for the track field which is around the stadium. Some of the old section of the stadium was maintained and is an excellent spot to watch the match. Unfortunately, part of the stadium was destroyed not by socialist invaders, but rather one angry giant evil spider named Bob. Fortunately, the stadium was able to be rebuilt to its original for, but it has lost some of its original charm as some of the parts which was from the original Feliz stadium were destroyed by the giant evil spider. This stadium will host three group matches as well as one playoff match.

Makinshakes Stadium
Location: O'Connor, Melmond
Seats: 60,217 (Open Air)

The city of O’Connor is Melmond’s fourth largest city. It is the big city hub which is smack dab in the middle of the Melmondian fertile plain. O’Connor is also the heart of the largest industry in Melmond, the book publishing industry. However, it was Melmondian fast food giant Makinshakes who bought the naming rights of this new football-specific stadium. It is a very versatile stadium which can host things from hockey games or a regional favorite like American football. Football is its number one client however as O’Connor Greens of the Melmond Premier League calls the stadium home. This stadium doesn’t have some of the fancy amenities new stadiums like Melmond Bowl and Microcosm Football Colossuseum have, all it has in technology is a jumbotron, but it has a blue-collar beauty to it that the people of O’Connor love to call their own. Of course, having Makinshakes being the sponsor of the stadium, expect good food at the concession stands as well as the famous sandwich of O’Connor, the Big O. It is also said that the city of O’Connor has one of the most beautiful skies In Melmond. This stadium will host three group matches and a playoff match.

Frankndottir Stadium
Location: Acosta, Melmond
Seats: 42,176 (Open Air)

Acosta is Melmond’s seventh largest city and possibly one of Melmond’s most majestic cities. Acosta’s crystal clear skies and its glacial and mountainous background make it a tourist attraction for nature lovers. Finally, Acosta football fans can enjoy that grandeur from their own outdoor football specific stadium. Frankdottir Stadium was a stadium where many college and semi-pro sports events happened. It got a facelift and five times the seating so the Melmond Premier League’s Acosta Browns can make their home there. It will be expanded from 37,176 to 42,176 seats if Commerce Heights and Melmond get the right to host the World Cup. The retractable seats near the pitch are also used in the newer stands of Frankndottir Stadium just like Unne’s Feliz-Unne Stadium, also because track events are also held at Frankndottir Stadium. It’s not the overbearing intimacy of Feliz-Unne, but this stadium has a scenic background that is second to none. This stadium will host three group matches as well as one playoff match.

White Bread Dome
Location: Suburbia, Melmond
Seats: 42,122 (Domed)

The city of Suburbia is the ninth biggest city in Melmond and is one of the home Suburbia Whites of the Melmond Premier League. The White Bread Dome was built with football in mind, but it is also very useful for the many concerts and conventions that come by Suburbia. It is an architectural marvel as the White Bread Dome has natural grass. What happens is that parts of the stands retract as the grass field is wheeled into the stadium. The grass grows just outside of the stadium and can be used for local kids to play on! The city of Suburbia itself was made as many of the northern suburbs of Melmond City conglomerated into one. The place is mainly made up of strip malls, car dealerships, and suburban homes. However, the construction of the White Bread Dome is the city’s effort to have a cosmopolitan heart of town. So far it has succeeded, as the marvel of the stadium itself has drawn people near it and it has a good bird’s eye outlook of the endless expanse of commerce which is the city of Suburbia. This is certainly the most futuristic and high tech stadium of them all and since it is sponsored by the White Bread Baking Company, there is an excellent bakery within the dome’s premises. This stadium will be used for three group matches as well as one playoff match.

Bwnlqjd Knjgi
Location: Wzkknfs Hnyd, Melmond
Seats: 50,024 (Open Air)

The region formerly known as Ruffia and now known as Wzkknf finally has a major sporting stadium to call its own in its capital of Wzkknfs Hnyd. The Wzkknf region may be technically part of Melmond and there are no wishes for independence as they are rather happy of the unobtrusive Melmondian rule, this stadium is like a national stadium in a region which has its unique culture unto its own. The world famous gum company based in Wzkknfs Hynd, Bwnlqjd, put in a lot of their own money in this stadium. The stadium itself has a cover for all the seats so they do not get wet, unless you want to be really close to the action where retractable seating is used as this stadium can be also used for track and field as well as football. Wzkknfs Hnyd is Melmond's eleventh largest city and has boasted such Melmondian football players as Snhp Xtfuinxm, Fwynj Otsjx, and Ojfssnsj Xrnym. Three group matches will be played here as well as one playoff match.

Anachronism Park
Location: Cali, Melmond
Seats: 43,275 (Open Air)

The eighth and final stadium for the World Cup 18 bid was decided to be the brand spanking new stadium in Cali. The people of Cali are not know for being sports fanatics, but as Cali native Martin Goodwin helped popularize the sport of football in the nation and noticing that there is a lot of homegrown talent for football coming from the city, they decided to support the building of a football-only stadium. However, this stadium had to have unique architecture and be fashionable to fit the beat of the town. A clothing company called Anachronism, who makes period style clothing for everyday and modern wear, was up to the task. They along with some top Melmond architects designed a stadium with the appearance of a grand castle along with modern amenities within the stadium. What resulted was one of the architectural sporting marvels not only in Melmond, but in the world and will be a picturesque place to play some World Cup 21 matches. Three group matches will be played at this stadium.
