Rugby World Cup 2023 - OOC
« on: April 03, 2023, 03:03:44 PM »
Rugby World Cup 2023

Back for the eighth time is the Mundus Rugby World Cup (which is most likely the most hotly contested trophy on Mundus). Last tournament saw East Moreland reclaim their World Crown defeating Achkaerin in the final, will the champions triumph again? The inaugural womens tournament saw Achkaerin emerge victorious, can they hold onto that? Is this the tournament for sporting history to be made?

Ok serious stuff, as per the usual sports sign ups state in this thread if you want to enter your nation into this - all hosting bids to be posted by the 19th of April please, following which there'll be a vote for hosting which I'll explain if one is needed. The full explanation of the bidding process is below. If no one bids we're going to an NPC nation. Remember the host is hosting both the mens and womens tournaments.

Bidding Process

The 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. 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 not be in the form of a poll but in the form of a post in this topic (this is to ensure fairness of the vote). Importantly I want to make clear that as I for the purposes of sport effectively play the governing bodies (in this instance Mundus International Rugby Confederation or MIRC) and I generally assume everyone to be a member, nations can protest bids, but please if doing so make it about something not just 'my nation does not like the bidding nation'. Also I reserve the right to invalidate a hosting bid if it would place competitors at risk  which I generally take to mean nowhere where there is a civil war or large scale civil unrest.

So with that in mind the following is the criteria for the Rugby World Cup bids
  • A minimum list of eight stadia- you are expected to include the capacity of these venues at least one stadium must have a minimum capacity of 80,000 (for the final) and at least two must have capacity's of 70,000
  • Name of the Main TV Rights Holder (For example Tytorian News Service or EMTV)
  • Information relating to accommodation for teams and supporters.
  • Importantly a written letter signed by a ranking member of your government stating 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).

Also a word of advice to those wishing to host. It has been brought to my attention that we've had an awful lot of "Image Parade Bids" of late i.e. bids which amount to venue pictures and a fairly generic letter. Therefore I strongly encourage all those who wish to host this competition to "Sell" their nations in terms of why they are the best host for it and to think about the legacy factor i.e. what will the lasting impact of your nation hosting the tournament be?

Final note I am limiting the number of tournaments to 32 nations if we get more than 32 nations then a qualification round will need to be held which I will explain if we get far. The participants shall be listed here.

The Charterlands of Reenberg wish to not allow announce their entry into the Rugby World Cup for the first time but also desire to be the hosts . Over the last 100years sport has played an ever greater part in the culture and societies that make up the diverse Charterlands. While people here are proud of there own individual heritage and background we have few opportunities to come together in the sense that other nations can and so we believe the crucible of sport, especially as hosts will provide us those opportunities. Please find attached the details of our intended bid. We are always happy to answer questions relating to this bid.


Should we be successful our 80,000 seater stadium shall be the 81,000 seater Reenberg Arena. The stadium is located on Reenberg Isle and has excellent public transport links. The stadium itself has a rectractable roof ensuring that perfect conditions for the final can be achieved.

Our two 70,000+ seater stadiums shall be the Reenberghöfn Sports Park Arena (right) and Dragon Stadium (left). Reenberghöfn is our largest city and sits on the coast meanwhile Dragon Stadium sits with the Charter known as the Dragon Council and the city of Xiodelijiang.  Reenberghöfn Sports Park Arena has a capacity of 73,500 while Dragon Stadium has a capacity of 74,200.

In addition to this top tier stadiums we would also like to host games at the following arenas. Starting in the top left of these images and moving clockwise are Liberty Stadium, The Alliance Dome, The Colony Park, Ferrum Stadium and the Pelagiya Family Stadium. Each of these stadiums represents one different Charter of our nation. The Liberty Stadium is in the coastal city of Lahar, a member of the Gulf of Liberty Union. It has 63,000 seats and Lahar is considered one of the most multi-cultural cities within the Charterlands. The Alliance Dome is a unique roofed arena capable of replicating climates from around the world. It is often used as a training ground by the national team or for concerts however on this occasion its 58,000 seats will be arranged for rugby. It is located in the Socialist Holding Alliance (SHA) town of Ruskakov, the SHA is largely made up of immigrants from Rodhina and Kaitaine. Colony Park has a capacity of 41,000 and is located in a Charter known as the Colony of Reform. This is a region once used as a penal colony by Royal Seleucid however today is a thriving region in its own right. Ferrum stadium contains 31,000 seats. It is located in Marasal, a town in the Ferrum Respublica a region that at one time was heavily influenced by commercial enterprises based out of Heyra. Today however it is becoming more of a formal democracy devoid of corporate control. Finally we have the Pelagiya Family Stadium with a capacity of 30,000 in the Charter of Semelberg. This is a largely Nordic speaking region of the Charterlands and is heavily supported by the Pelagiya family from Lodja and East Moreland.



The TV and other media needs of the tournament will be handled by Reenberg Media Enterprises. The company handles most of the live sport shown within the Charterlands and has worked co-operatively with each of the stadiums nominated to install all equipment needed to allow each nation to show games of interest to their home viewers as well as support match officials with important match decisions via television match officials. Media suites can be made available for any foreign network wishing to broadcast from the Charterlands.

Accommodation for the event will utilise a mixture of Universities throughout the nation as well as the various Sporting Institutes that are spread across the nation. Universities in the Charterlands have a high standard of student accommodation and facilities at Universities are world class. It is our hope that visiting teams while enjoying the competition will also have a chance to socialise with sports teams from the Universities or Institutes they reside with. In terms of fans accommodation while the Charterlands is yet to establish itself as a regular tourist venue there are more than enough hotels, bed & breakfasts , inns and youth hostels to give those travelling a variety of options.

With the Charterlands having the right to their own rules regarding entry Lady Charlotte has agreed that for the duration of the tournament plus 30 days any competitor, coach, media worker or official will be granted a passport for Reenberg families own Charterlands thus ensuring they can travel to any part of the Charterlands.

We hope that our bid is accepted and are hopeful of welcoming you all to the Charterlands in due course.

Best Regards
Raymond Ahelsen
Minister of Sport
