thatsnotmypuppy Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Arguably the last successful GB fantasy sports event bid cycle was for the 2018 (or 2022???) World Cup. I think England won? Dunno. Anyhow, I am bored and have some time on my hands - thus lets kick this off again! What we will do is spend a week or two getting nominations together. In this thread post which country you plan to bid with. Submit a logo if you want. After nominations close we will move forward with a simple two page 'mini bid book' - just an outline of which cities and venues will be included in your bid, the logo and what theme if any you will commit to. We will then shortlist and after that a full bid book of any length can be presented by a set date. ALL submissions MUST be in PDF form - you can email me your word docs and I will convert and upload them. In the next couple of days I will upload some of the previous bid round entries. The only rules in regards to what country is that the country MUST NOT have hosted in the 'real world' in the past three rounds and the next two cycles. So sorry - that means no France, South Korea, Japan, Germany, South Africa or Brazil bids. Also if you submit a joint-nation bid it is a maximum of 3 countries and they must have a shared border unless it is an economic region - such as Benelux (where you could throw in Lille in France for instance), the Persian Gulf region, Scandinavia etc... Of course I have just disqualified my planned Armenia/Togo bid but so be it. In your host country/countries you need to nominate a minimum of 8 host cities. 2 of these cities can have two stadia. Thus you end up with a total of 10 stadiums – the bare necessity needed for a successful 32 team competition. If you want 12 stadiums – that’s fine – but that means you need a minimum 10 cities involved. In the second bid document that will be due after the shortlist you will need to give more concrete info – accommodation, transport and stadium specifics. The initial 2 page brochure is due DECEMBER 16th. The shortlist will be determined by DECEMBER 23rd or earlier. The final round will begin just after Christmas. The initial two page brochure should be just a brief justification on why your country/region should host, a list of the proposed cities and stadiums (provide a very basic map of where each city is located) as well as your logo. So let us see if we can get this off the ground! To reiterate - just post your country of choice at this point and a logo if you want to. Once we get a good selection we will announce the date the mini bid book is due. At this point please do not start seperate bid threads - we will get to that point after the cut off date.
thatsnotmypuppy Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Posted December 4, 2007 I personally shall be returning to the scene of some prior cheap thrills - The Gulf Region 2026. Host cities will be spread amongst the Persian Gulf. More info soon.
Citius Altius Fortius Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 I would like to participate, but I am very busy at work at the moment due closing of the year - until which day we have to send the doc files?
Faster Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 I am gonna pull a puppy and go back to where I know best and love the most, Scandinavia. I will have to decide if Finland will be included, because logistically it will be a nightmare. And yes I have done this before, but this time I will actually try and not just lobby like no tomorrow and than screw Mo and Russia again. Puppy how is the vote gonna work for the shortlist?
james Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 South Africa. I will post my logo soon and try to see if I can get in contact with Mo Rush for plan for a bid book.
NYCD 2012 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 The only rules in regards to what country is that the country MUST NOT have hosted in the 'real world' in the past three rounds and the next two cycles. So sorry - that means no France, South Korea, Japan, Germany, South Africa or Brazil bids. Its really sad you can't read.
NYCD 2012 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 On a side note, its great to see these GB competitions again . I remember when we had the GBOC when was run by Ryan , Sorry bout that ryan
james Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Its really sad you can't read. Sorry, I never care about that cos I only just glimpsed at the caption. But, you lack respect for your mentor.
Citius Altius Fortius Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 South Africa. I will post my logo soon and try to see if I can get in contact with Mo Rush for plan for a bid book. james, when you read the rules, given by TNMP, you will recognise that he excluded South Africa, due it will host in 2010...
james Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 james, when you read the rules, given by TNMP, you will recognise that he excluded South Africa, due it will host in 2010... I have been told and I have seen it myself.
thatsnotmypuppy Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Posted December 4, 2007 OK - so just in regards to the voting for the shortlist. What I will do is an 'applicant report' that sums up the bid strengths and weaknesses etc - I will be impartial and will ask someone else to rate my own bid. This report will recommend the finalist bids - however we can put it to a vote. 1 vote per member, etc. Otherwise we can use a poll - i think most of us (ahem) are over the 'faux member' voting scandals. Thus far we have bids from Australia Bulgaria/Romania The Gulf Region Scandinavia James - may I suggest you do a Nigeria bid? Most of us here are aware of Abuja - however I personally would like to see pictures and info on stadia on Lagos, etc...?
james Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Ok .Am taking a bid on Lagos. I will post my logo bid here when am through with it.
ghost1 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 I'm for the applicant report by TNMP - he has bid experience, this is how the IOC does it, it's more professional and we haven't done it before. This is by far better than voting, we had... some experiences with votings on shortlists in the past. I think voting should be used only for trhe final vote. So, my suggestion: TNMP, cfm Jeremie and Roltel (if he dowsn't bid) decide on the shortlist (something like an Evaluation comission) and then the whole gang votes on the winner
Sir Rols Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 I was just looking at this forum the other day, musing how we hadn't had a comp in a while. And seeing as the Olympic bid business is going to be in a bit of hiatus for a while (those Youth games certainly don't fire the imagination), now's a good time. Good call Puppy! And yeah, a world cup is probably easier than an olympic bid _ I think we've covered Winter games up to the 2030s, and the summer bid comps always fall flat on their faces. Anyway, I'm always wary of taking on a bid by myself. I'm announcing, though, that I'll be joining CAF in the Australia 2026 bid. Let's bring the Jules Rimet Cup Down Under! james Posted Today, 08:01 AM Ok .Am taking a bid on Lagos. I will post my logo bid here when am through with it. James, you still don't quite have it right. I'm sure Lagos is a big, big city, but I doubt it could stage ther World Cup on its own. It's my understanding (and someone correct me if I'm wrong _ we probably really should spell this out for the comp anyway) that a bidding country needs at least stadia in eight cities, with only one city allowed to use multiple stadia. You'll have to extend your bid beyond just Lagos to include more of Nigeria (and maybe even some neighbours _ what about Cameroon and Ghana as well?). Abuja, Ibadan and Port Harcourt would probably be likely cities to include as well.
james Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 "] The initial bid logo but I am preparing another one for the final logo.

thatsnotmypuppy Posted December 5, 2007 Author Report Posted December 5, 2007 OK – just to clarify what a basic world cup bid needs – In your host country/countries you need to nominate a minimum of 8 host cities. 2 of these cities can have two stadia. Thus you end up with a total of 10 stadiums – the bare necessity needed for a successful 32 team competition. If you want 12 stadiums – that’s fine – but that means you need a minimum 10 cities involved.

Faster Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 I included a map, but its a little small. My brochure is done, just need it uploaded to pdf. Since I don't have the programs. Puppy do you have office 2007? Also I don't have imaging software so no logo, unless someone wants to make one. Anyone?
NYCD 2012 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 Sorry, I never care about that cos I only just glimpsed at the caption. But, you lack respect for your mentor. I am sorry I don't respect rude and bossy people.
Tanaka_Ray Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 Indonesia and ummh... NYCD 2012, would you join me to launch Indonesia - Singapore 2026 ? maybe there are 2 stadiums in Singapore and the other 8 in Indonesia ?
