The following document should be pretty self-explanatory, but in brief we're opening the bidding process for next year's Amorical Cup (as the North American Team Championship will now be known).

Amorical Cup: Request for Bids

For examples of what your bid documents might look like, you can check out the one that won the previous NATC:

or the whole packet of bids for World Cup 2015:

Any questions can be posted here. Thanks!

Putting this out there now, if there's a group/groups putting together a bid for running one of these.

I'm In.

I know Zip all about running one, or organizing something like this. But if you need a worker bee and can give good directions on WHAT you need done. I'm In.


Tournament Side, I'd >love< to play, but I know how hard up a convention can be for staff and volunteers.

What I HAVE done, is help with my local sci-fi convention (MarsCon, in Willliamsburg VA) as labor and volunteering. I have helped with doing setup and take-down. Some Con-Suite help (tho I don't know how "normal" a Con Suite would be for something like this), as well as helping with Registration & Check-in.

I don't expect any bids until the due date. The potential organizers I've spoken with (half a dozen or so) are generally on the East Coast or in the Midwest. I don't want to get too specific just in case they eventually decide against bidding.

I would like to have the winning bid selected by the end of June.

Due to (possibly unwarranted) concerns that we won't receive enough bids to create a competitive selection process, we are extending the bid deadline by one week.

Bids are now due on June 17th.

It's projected for late May or early June of next year. Exact date will depend on availability of the selected venue.

The site for the Amorical Cup 2017 will be Richmond, Virginia. Date and details to follow ASAP.

The selection process was very tightly contested, requiring a tie-breaking vote in the end. This is reflective of the quality of the bids; I can honestly say that I would have been glad to attend any of the prospective tournaments that they described.

The final ranking was:

1. Richmond, VA
2. Toronto, ON
3. Schenectady, NY
4. Dallas, TX
