Mundus Games 2018
It's that time of year again- our version of the Olympic Games is back for its fifth outing, I'm intending on this being mid to late August time as a start time so approx two to three weeks time. I have made some tweaks to the event list for this year. I'm also once again foregoing group stages in various competitions to simplify things. Bidding information is included in this post for anyone interested in hosting (again there is a slight tweak to this for this year).
Bidding informationThe bidding process requires nations wishing to host to submit requested information, what information is dependent on the event in question. There will be a deadline set for bid submissions in the case of the Mundus Games this is the 12th of August any bids entered after that date will not be considered unless the vote has not opened. As you can probably guess from that sentence once bidding closes there will be a vote conducted. By vote this will be in the form of a post in this topic and the format of that vote will be explained at the time as it depends on the number of bids received.
So with that in mind the following is the criteria for Mundus Games Bids:
- A list of venues for the events- you are expected to include the capacity of these venues and the athletics stadium must have a minimum capacity of 80,000
- Name of the Main TV Rights Holder (For example EMTV)
- Plans for the Athletes Village (just an image will do with a brief explanation)
- Importantly a written letter signed by a ranking member of your government stating a) that they will provide safe venues and protective services for all athletes and staff no matter which nation they hail from. (No refusing entry to a nation or holding people prisoner because you don't get along in RP with their nation) and b) explaining the legacy of the games in your nation (what will the venues be used for afterwards, will there be a focus on the next generation of athletes? etc)
Everyone is advised that the last bullet point is quite important as it involves something akin to the Olympic Truce.
Also as the controller of the Mundus Games Committee (our IOC) I reserve the right to refuse a bid should there be a legitimate IC reason to do so, e.g we wouldn't be having this in a country in the middle of a civil war.
As usual competing nations will have the opportunity to choose disciplines to specialize in that is those headings in
YELLOW, you are permitted three specialisms. You may also suggest the addition of an event if you wish but please remember these are the summer games (so no snowboarding). Also this is just the event list I have not yet worked out the schedule.
Finally as per the Winter Games I am not simply assuming everyone competes in everything but I am instead letting you determine which events you enter however please note that some events have a set number of people involved and some have a minimum number, these are generally team events and are indicated. Also please remember when determining your team size what the size of your nation is and how sporty they are.
