As the tournament bid process continues, bidding parties in each city are working with members of the IQA’s WCOT (World Cup Organizing Team) to determine if their location can support a large tournament. The bidding parties, with the WOCT’s aid, have begun filling out the extensive checklist that the WOCT developed regarding the requirements of hosting a regional or World Cup scale tournament.
However, some city bids have been dropped either by the original bidding teams, or due to a lack of response from the original bidders. We would like to open these bids up to continuation by other interested teams. The following locations can still be picked up by nearby teams (within two driving hours):
- NORTHEAST
- Burlington, VT (WORLD CUP)
- SOUTHWEST
- Greenley, CO (REGIONAL)
- MIDWEST
- St. Louis, MO (WORLD CUP)
- Omaha, NE (WORLD CUP AND/OR REGIONAL)
- Fishers, IN (REGIONAL)
- MID-ATLANTIC
- Philadelphia, PA (WORLD CUP AND/OR REGIONAL)
- Germantown, MD (REGIONAL)
- Salisbury, MD (REGIONAL)
If your team is interested in picking up a bid, e-mail Hannah.lindgren@internationalquidditch.org within the next week (by Wednesday, March 21).

In order to continue to protect PA’s secret identity as the future site of district 12, the article has been changed accordingly.

After the amazing turnout in New York last year I can’t believe no one is bidding to have it here again.
