Scotguy 330 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 BREAKING NEWS!!!!! Mexico City has today conceded defeat in its bid to host the 2023 Pan American and Parapan American Games. In a statement just released the CEO of MC2023 Bid team, Scotguy has said that it has been an absolute pleasure to showcase Mexico City to the PASO nations but it has become evident with the massive amount of votes to the American Bid Cities, that Mexico Citiy's bid does not have the support of Gamesbids members. In a phone call earlier today, Scotguy has congratulated the Ottowa 2023 Bid Team, and conceded defeat in their vote off round. We look forward to sending a strong Mexican Team to whichever of the remaining cities wins hosting rights to the 2023 Games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You guys had a fantastic bid book! ^ Plus Mexico was leading by two votes because Ottowa automatically looses one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
woohooitsme83 297 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 ^^I agree. Really liked the detail. Well done Scotguy! Unfortunate that this is also your last contest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Athensfan 1081 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 ^^I agree. Really liked the detail. Well done Scotguy! Unfortunate that this is also your last contest It's not unfortunate at all if you're aware of the history of his entries, several of which it turned out were not really his.

No, if you can't get your details right before you post, then don't post at all. I have made some mistakes with the LOGO competitions on here, and i have admitted to that and since have not repeated the issue. This thread and indeed ending my participation in future BID BOOK Competitions, is in regards to the bid book competitions i have taken part in over the 8 years i have been here, have always been my own work. So the thing is to differentiate betwen the two different types of competitions before jumping the gun and labeling everything as one, something which is obvious you lack.

olympicdreamin 5 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Why isn't this competition continuing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mr.bernham 384 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Mexico resigns which means Ottawa advances. We could just cut the BS and hold a final vote between BR and Princeton, both of which gained a majority in the last round. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scotguy 330 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 The voting for this competition has gone on for far too long, 10 days since this vote off alone was started. Enthusiasm has waned and people have forgotten that this is happening. Whatever the reason, it is a sad state of affairs for the promotion and continuing participation and promotion of bid book comps on here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
