Nickname: TBA
Country: USA
2nd Preference
Location: Houston
Nickname: Leaguers

I really don't have any interest in a Europe/ anywhere else bid. But if this isn't acceptable El_Scorcho feel free to PM where you'd like me to be.

Also, only my second or third comp. So second div is good for me.

EDIT: Capitols are a team IRL aren't they...

Another edit. I keep naming my Washington team after already existing Washington teams. So when I think of a mascot that doesn't already exist, I'll update this.

Haha, nah. I just find the whole ex-Soviet sports society thing fascinating. Vodnik is one I hadn't even heard of before, like, 10 minutes ago.

[El_Scorcho]

Okay, bids looking a lot healthier now. I currently (tentatively) have 15 in the top division and 12 in the bottom, so both divisions are good to go even if we don't get another bid (although a few more would be terrific).

Everyone has their first preference at this stage apart from NM_Mitchell who said he wasn't really bothered between his preferences.

We do have 2 people calling themselves the "Kings", but one is in English and one is "Los Reyes", the Spanish version, so i'll allow them both.

Currently we only have 4 bids from outside of North America and Europe. Based on that, I probably wont do any sort of conferences, it will just be a straight up league like the AFL.

 

[Red Crow]

Righto, gonna dip my toe into the pool. Can't remember the last time I entered any sort of fantasy comp. They certainly weren't as structured and detailed as they are these days.

Requested Division: 1 or 2. Not fussed.

First Preference:
Location: Athens
Nickname: Greens
Country: Greece

Second Preference:
Location: Liverpool
Nickname: Liver Birds
Country: England

[El_Scorcho]

I batted for like 25 overs today after 40 overs in the field and would have been quite happy to be nominated to either chug a beer or tip a bucket of ice water over my head.
