So, just to make it clear, if we were to do a England or South Africa bid we would have to use a town/city such as London or Cape Town as the bid name?

Just double checking here

 

[Silent Alarm]

England
Location: London
Nickname: White Lions

Victoria
Location: Sydney
Nickname: Olympians

 

[InCase]

Sorry should have clarified, same as with the first tier, just a primary and secondary location and nickname. I will assume you want SA and Queensland unless you change your post to just two. Cheers.

Yep, but at the same time Hampshire would be acceptable (being a county). Only unacceptable options are South Africa or England.

 

[TheDoctor11]

Primary Option: Mount Gambier Generals (SA)
Secondary Option: Portland Smelters (VIC)
Tertiary Option: Toowoomba Thunder (QLD)

Yeh presumed that would be right, but just wanted to double check, because I get confused easy of course

Okay then. My two bids are as follows:

England
Location: London
Nickname: Monarchs

New South Wales
Location: Hunter Valley
Nickname: Eagles

 

[InCase]

location: perth, wa
name: western wallabies
(if not acceptable as a name, call them western australia wallabies)

It's fine, nicknames for regions are okay. It's country associations I want to stay away from. I feel that using a country as a branding starting point is a bit of an unfair advantage.

 

[Snoopy Junior]

Same as before.
Primary: Victor Harbor
Nickname: Penguins

Secondary: Bendigo
Nickname: Nuggets

Can we put in a bid if we already have a team in the first round of selections?

Nope, this is for the people that missed out. You might end up versing teams from this tier, if you had two you might end up versing yourself.

[cronkadonk]

English team? South African Team?

 

[Easty]

Primary: Caufield (VIC)
Nickname: Stallions

Secondary: Portsmouth (Eng)
Nickname: Admirals

 

[InCase]

English team? South African Team?

Yep, adds a bit of spark - a bit of differentiation then say 4 Victorian teams, 4 Western Australia teams, etc.

They have different cultures, different animals, different styles. All of which make for a more interesting concept than another local team.

 

[Molons]

English team? South African Team?

I think it's a good idea. As InCase said, gives a bit of extra for people to work with. Smart idea imo

It's a hypothetical comp bud. Anyway it mixes it up a bit, keeps the designs a bit different to usual

 

[Silent Alarm]

Can I make a minor change. I want my team from London to be the London Red Lions instead.

 

[CAB12]

England (Newcastle)
Newcastle/Northern Knights

West Australia

[E92_]
