2020 Summer Olympics, bid requirements.

[Lord David]

Ok now that "everyone" is bugging me as to what one should add for their bid book the answer:

We will follow the following format:

- A bid Logo.

Please, consider yourself as an APPLICANT for the duration of the Applicant stage and not a CANDIDATE. Remove Olympic rings too (Exemption will be made should you wish to use your National Olympic Committee logo as the logo

- A Brief introduction to your city.

- Key dates for the Olympics and Paralympics.

- Games concept.

Your overall concept for the games, clustering of venues and how your games will be unique from others, previous bids or previous hosting of the Olympics.

- Sporting Venues.

A chart will be ideal, though not necessary. just list existing (no works required), those that are existing (works required), to be built (proposed or additional, with additional being venues which are built only if the games are awarded, whilst proposed being built outright) and temporary games only sporting venues.

About the sports:

We will currently have the sports in the upcoming edition of the Olympics as the sports required in your bid. Given that Rugby 7's and Golf are now included in the Olympic programme, they will be a part of your bid.

As for the removed sports of Baseball and Softball, you may include them in your bid too, if you wish (these sports are optional, but if you want them in your bid, you will need to put both, not just one of the two).

Look at the recent IOC evaluation report for 2016 and the 2012 one if you want the list of sports and recommended seating capacities (i.e they are a guide, your venue plan may included lower capacities if necessary).

The IOC reports can be found here (in which the real bid books may also give you some insight as to what to include or even bid information):

http://www.thebidlibrary.com/

- Athletes' Village, Hotels and Media Villages.

No need to go all out and make a hotel chart (you can if you wish ), but just a paragraph or two about your hotel concept, where hotels are to be grouped etc.

The proposed Athletes' Village, or if necessary, villages.

The proposed Media Village(s), should you not propose to use hotels for the Media or there are currently insufficient hotels to support the Media.

- International Broadcasting Centre and Main Press Centre.

Just a brief paragraph about where the IBC and MPC will be located.

- Transport concept.

The proposed main airport and additional airports if available or if necessary.

The proposed public transport network, whether it be buses, light rail, subway etc.

Likewise, a chart is unnecessary.

- Past Sporting Experience.

Doesn't need to be thorough, but a list of past sporting experience from your city and country in the last 10 years.

- Maps.

All appropriate maps, with venue locations, Airport, IBC/MPC, Athletes' Village, Media Village, main hotel area(s) etc.

- Charts.

Any charts you see fit (primarily the venue one) may go here.

Other rules:

A minimum of 10 pages and a maximum of 20 pages please.

I will give you until Friday, April 2nd, 12 am Australian Eastern Standard Time to post your bidding city (assuming you haven't done so).

We will have 2 to 3 weeks to compile our bid books.

Hopefully a adjudicator will be found amongst us to assist in compiling a report.

I'm in this competition too! So that's why I want some other party to be involved as to not be biased.

Should anyone want this role, please raise your hand!

We will then have a vote after the CANDIDATE cities have been selected and an IOC report has been published (at that point, feel free to put CANDIDATE CITY on your logos and the Olympic Rings).

I forecast about a week for the vote (you may not vote for yourself! I will make the vote public so we know who voted, voting for yourself will not count and will make such a vote void).

If you wish, you may follow all IOC questions, and post a brief pamphlet for this competition. But do remember to post the brief version, you may if you wish post the IOC version elsewhere.

Oh and one last thing, please, do not post your bid city intentions or whatever here, that's what this thread is for:

I will update this, if necessary.

Would it not be wise to just use the IOC applicant file as a guideline and leave out certain sections. The Paris 2012 application file keeps things quite brief and to the point and should be used as a guideline to the maximum content required.

Use Paris 2012 as the applicant file

Wingspread, since you raised your hand, then I will permit you to bid, so long as you choose a city within the next few days, alternatively, would you like to be a bid city evaluator?

If there's anyone I'm forgetting (I don't think so), then please notify me and show me proof with a link from the original thread. Also, if you would like to add a bid logo, or change the one that I did myself, please notify me with a link, thanks.

Now get cracking, by all means use London's Pictogram set (Silhouette) to represent the sports on your venue map(s). Feel free to attempt to make your own for the other sports.

You will have 3 weeks to work on this, thanks.

[fatixxx]

You will have 3 weeks to work on this,..

Lord can you make 4 weeks of that .. knowing in backmind that some members are working ..

if other contestants are ok with this of course ??

best regards

fatih civelek

[Lord David]

Yes, yes we are all working and such, but 3 weeks it is. I will give a week extension if necessary. I feel dragging this out for too long would end this like the other recent contests.

[thatsnotmypuppy]

Oh by the way I am not doing Las Vegas - I am doing Shanghai. It shouldn't make a difference as I have committed to being a part of the competition either way - so its just a change of city.

[Lord David]

Hmm can't seem to edit previous posts anymore, why is that?

Very well, Shanghai, China it is.

[thatsnotmypuppy]

It only lets you edit for a short amount of time - 24 hours or so I think?

Istanbul, Turkey. - fatixxx

Fatixx, what dafeck is that thing for the head? Is that a buoy? Somebody's thumb? A drag queen's head hiding in her chador?

[OneTimeOnly]

Fatixx, what dafeck is that thing for the head? Is that a buoy? Somebody's thumb? A drag queen's head hiding in her chador?

I thought the whole thing was supposed to resemble a whirling dervish.

[canary]

When is last day for send BID BOOK? and what email for it?

Thanx

[Lord David]

When is last day for send BID BOOK? and what email for it?

Thanx

Well, I'm not exactly sure at the moment, make it 2 more weeks minimum, I'll post the email(s) in which to send it to. Alternatively, I could just tell you guys to host it yourselves. When the time comes you'll know.

[baron-pierreIV]

I thought the whole thing was supposed to resemble a whirling dervish.

OK, now it resembles that except the head is usually connected to the dervish's body and the skirt is also whole. But see, it didn't click the first time.

Then you forget Kuala Lumpur winning against a much SUPERIOR Vienna bid!
