BazTur Discusion & Bid Thread for WC 34

The Bazalonian FA, The Bazalonian Federation of Soccer Associations(BFSA) and the Football Association of Turori(FAT) have finally announced their Bid platform for their combined bid for the 34th incarnation of the longest running and one of the most respected NationStates sporting competitions, but before we go and look at the details of the bid, let's look at Bazalonia's and Turori's history in the World Cup and associated events.

Bazalonia:

Started their entrance into the world of international soccer in World Cup 26, Bazalonia has quickly shot up through the rankings from a lowly team who lost to the Islands of Qutar in a Quarter Final, the co-hosts of the 30th World Cup. From this point Bazalonia has quickly earned the respect of many other sporting nations. The highlight of their performances were getting to the Knockout stage of the World Cup Proper with 2 wins and a draw.

But what experience does Bazalonia have in hosting sporting events, only being here since WC 26 what could we have hosted? What experience hosting could we have? Well, the answer is more than you think. Not only has Bazalonia hosted and co-hosted 3 Baptism of Fires, a Cup of Harmony but also AOCAF 15. Atlantian Oceania's premiere soccer tournament.

Turori:

Turori first came on the international soccer scene back in WC 15, being apart of the first Baptism of Fire in the modern era of world soccer. However not only where they apart of it, they also won it. Turori has the unique position of winning the first Baptism of Fire as sanction by the World Cup committee. Add to the mix their Cup of Harmony 18 4-0 win against Bettia, Turori has been a well respected member of the soccer fraternity.

Turori has proved themselves as a World Cup host in the past. Hosting World Cup number 19 with The Belmore Family, a nation no longer involved in the world cup and combined experience of the FAT and the BFSA a great World Cup should be around the corner.

Structure

Qualifiers

The exact structure will depend on the exact number of participants but the most likely structure is a standard 15 groups of 7 or 8.

The top 30 will go through, to the proper world cup. Assuming 15 groups the top 2 of each group will go through. There may be 12 groups with third places battling for the remaining 6 qualification spots.

World Cup in Bazalonia & Turori

There will be 8 groups of 4 in the World Cup. Each of the co-hosts will travel to the other co-host to compete in the world cup so all competitors are on foreign soil.

The top 2 postions will go past the group stage and into the World Cup Knock-out stage. In which 16 teams battle to knock the other one out to get to be number one in soccer.

In addition to the World Cup final, a third place play off will occur between the losers of the semi-finals.

KPB's and RP Bonus

Both the Qualifers and the World cup proper will use the post-BoF KPB's as the basis for the rankings and when going from the Qualifiers to the World Cup, the RP-modified KPB's will be kept and not updated with the new post-qualifier KPB's

RP Bonus will be used with a combination of quantity and Quality, posting a large post will not guarantee a large RP bonus.

RP Penalty, a new idea proposed for this bid, An RP that consists of a totally unimaginative regurgitation of scores, tables or fixtures a small RP Penalty will be applied. Not that we don't want to encourage incorporating scores, tables and fixtures into RP's but please do it in a creative manner.

Scorination

Bedistan's NSFootySim v2.0.1 will be used to scorinate these matches.

Stadiums

The stadiums that will be used for the World Cup will be published here by BFSA and FAT individually showing where the World Cup games will be played.

Bazalonian Stadiums

Many Bazalonian stadiums have recently been upgraded due to the AOCAF and BOF hosting successes

Stadium 1*
TeleBaz Stadium, the nations largest and most spectactular piece of sporting archetecture in Fauxhan. A number of Bazalope Statues adorn the stadiums forecourts and facade. It seats an impressive 95 thousand persons and has great facilities for both the spectators as well as fully fitted changing rooms including closed circuit television showing the field and current TV broadcasts.

Stadium 2*
SeaBazalope Arena which is in the city of Cantinople boasts a total of 48,000 seats, and will be used for all group matches. Sitting in an ideal location, right in the centre of Cantinople and what seams only metres away from the cities famous beaches the SeaBazalope Arena is certainly a nice place to visit

Stadium 3*
Drago Soccer Field(DSF) situated in the city of Drago containing a total of 46,000 seats. The DSF is the only 'field' that is managed by the BFSA. Actually containing a fully equiped stadium around it the DSF has been a sporting institution in Bazalonia for as long as anyone can remember

Stadium 4*
Stadium Verona situatied in the idealic city of Hughestown which was founded on a plataeu near an ancient, now dead, Volcano - Mt Hughes, Stadium Verona boasts a 52,000 seat capacity and is the highest major sports field in the nation. Stadium Verona is also a multi-sport stadium that is constantly re-marked to contain whatever sport is comming. So players may get confused. Stadium Verona is sponsored by Verona Inc. Makers of fine quality Bazalonian cars. Check them out.

Stadium 5*
Via Voleta Dome was the nations biggest stadium until TeleBaz Stadium and CBBC Dome. It is located in Pinksford and has 62,000 places for the crowd to park their behinds and watch the game. Pinksford is a very frindly town but also have very strict ideas about what is acceptible behaviour. Expect to end up the night in jail if your celebrations get too boistrous.

Stadium 6*
Trevton City Enclosed Field as the name suggests is in Trevton city, it contains a total of 33,000 seats and is the only stadium/arena/dome/field that is not directly controlled by the BFSA however Trevton city does a great job at making sure this field is up there with the best that this nation has to offer.

Stadium 7*
CBBC Dome in Woolgolga was constructed especially for the Baptism of Fire and was financially supported by the Allanean-based firm Cute Bunny Burgers Corp, which has CBBC markings plastered all over the walls and on the field of this stadium. In addition the Bazalonian arm of the companies security division will be responsible for security once inside any and all stadiums used during the BoF. It contains a total of 81,000 seats and is only outseated by the nations crowning glory of a stadium. The TeleBaz Stadium.

Stadium 8*
Georgetown Nova Stadium, 59,000 seating capacity stadium in the highest altitude stadium in Bazalonia. It's cooler and has been known to have snow on it in winter. But it isn't winter but there are cold nights. Bring warm clothes.

*Please note: The numbers listed here will be used during official BFSA releases to denote which teams play where.

This would be a definate candidate for an RP Penalty. The final example, of a regurgitation of the schedule, etc, would most likely simply be ignored and receive no bonus. However, if you simply copy and repaste the scoreline in the exact format that it was provided by the hosts, as might be the case in example 2, you could also be facing a penalty as you appear to be trying to abuse the system.

And Quak, I hope you are joking with that comment, lol, that or your account has been hacked into by Sel Appa.

Sure, steal my idea why don't you...

Didn't Schia and Outar host 30?

I don't like Turori/Vil and would vote against Baz as a protest...-_-

Those 2 words (with numbers and Symbols) would from me receive an RP Penalty

However it would depend on the situation

RP Type 4 with nothing else - Certainly receive a penalty

RP Type 4 with other RP's that don't reference are unrelated to the single post - A small penalty would be applied but overall would still be positive RP Bonus

RP Type 4 with a creative reference dealing with that RP - no Penalty, but no extra RP Bonus either. The other RPs will count but not that one.

I'm skeptical of the negative RP bonus, in part because it requires more careful attention. "The Bazalonia 1 - Rouge Et Noirs 0", post in an of itself wasn't worth any RP bonus. But when Baz followed it up with an RP about the lack of RP, it turned it into a setup. While I still didn't grant any RP bonus for it, it certainly shouldn't be penalized for either.

Well, its no different than giving these subject RP's no bonus, and giving everyone else an automatic +1, for example.

Point being, we want to discourage people from tainting or abusing the RP thread with, for example, Swilatia posting an ad for his Dreamvision contest with no attempt to RP would receive a negative bonus, because he has severely detracted from the integrity of the RP thread with his post. It's the same thing as giving Swilatia 0 bonus and giving everyone who hasn't detracted from the integrity a +1 bonus, just a shifted scale.
