2028 Olympic Bid Game

^^ The start of the actual bid for the 2028 games will be in 2019, that's 3 years after the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and the host city will be announced by 2021, a year after the 2020 Olympic games.

Before that, on May 23 this year the IOC will select candidate cities for the 2020 Games:

- Istanbul, Turkey
- Tokyo, Japan
- Doha, Qatar
- Baku, Azerbaijan
- Madrid, Spain

By September 7 next year, the next host city will be determined.

I know but this is a fantasy bid game so someone can pick a city and then build a host city.

Oh this is a great idea, sounds like a ton of fun I would be really into this. But I would want to do another city from the US.

In the real Olympics Bid process the US always has a prelim period where several cities Bid fro the US sanctioned Olympic Bid. For the 2016 Olympic bid before Chicago was chosen Houston, San Francisco Philadelphia and Los Angeles were competing for the spot. So couldn't we have other cities in the US as well and say it would be part of the US bidding process? plus like you said it is a fantasy bid game.

^^ My bad, I though it was a petition to the IOC to start the elections and declare the winning city earlier :lol:

Maybe we can include the cities nominated:

- Istanbul, Turkey
- Tokyo, Japan
- Doha, Qatar
- Baku, Azerbaijan
- Madrid, Spain

Why not? :cheers:

Then formulate the rules of this game.

How exciting! I love this idea and am so down.

My nomination is Johannesburg, South Africa. I know this will get flack from formers saying that the elevation is too high, however Mexico City is considerably higher than Jozi. Likewise, major sporting events are held at similar mile-high elevations all the time. FIFA and major sporting events in Denver are great examples.

Alternately if no-one wants to support a Joburg bid, I would love to work on Durbs or CT.

ALSO I would love to work on an American bid if there is no team for S. Af. (Bruinsfan I will PM you, I used to live in Beantown!)

OR anyone could PM me with other suggestions. Is there a limit or goal of number of candidates? Shall we limit it to say 5 or 6?

I have to nominate Nanjing as I believe the 2014 Youth Olympics will be a great success here and pave the way for more. It would also be 20 years after the Beijing Olypmics so time again for China!

Otherwise I think Tokyo and Istanbul will have great chances on that list.

But who knows. By 2028 Mumbai or India in general could be in the spotlight like China is today.

I vote for Durban or CT...

Ok, we can have a prelims for America, that's actually a good idea. All the other cities have be added to the list.

What I will do is allow 4 cities for the American Prelims to join Boston, and whoever joins the IOC decides who moves on. Each city has to make a IOC bid book. Other countries please only 1 city because it gets too confusing.

Kevin! I am also having a hard time with the links.

I like the idea for Prelims for America...in that case maybe someone can do Washington DC?

We have until the end of May to officially nominate yes? In which case there is still time to decide a South African candidate city. I will post a question in the Safrican forum! but I can guarantee Jozi won't get alot of support! even though it is just a fantasy bid.....

and we've had 2 nominations for India....Mumbai or Delhi/Goa.....exciting!

Also..I'm pretty sure this thread is in the wrong forum...I'm sure a mod will move it.....

soooo

no budget?

Your budget is $6 billion in North America, and Australia
$4.5B in Europe, and Asia
$4B in South America
Haven't decided on Africa yet..

Ya, for some odd reason the links aren't working......

And these are the only countries that can have multiple bids (so prelims):
Canada, USA, China, Russia, Australia, India, Italy, Spain and France.

I would've chose Mexico as one but the safety there is too risky..

SCHEDULE:

Application Deadline: June 2, 2012 (must have logo, slogan, etc ready by then)
Candadiates for the Olympics to be announced: June 6, 2012
Bid Books must be in by: July 31, 2012
Voting: August 5, 2012

note: I'm looking for unbiased members to join a 3-6 person IOC committe as well to moderate things.

Also note that Chicago, and New York aren't eligible to bid due to there 2012, and 2016 bids.
Salt Lake City, Atlanta and LA are long shots since I'd like new cities to host.
Any questions post here since its confusing if your not familiar with games like this.

Bid Books must be no larger than 70 pages!

I'm having trouble finding examples of bid books Unfourtanetly,.

So far the applicants are:
