He offered his assistance and instead people have been snarky and told him to go host a small event.
Maybe he wants to assist with the Olympics and unless something dodgy is going on where they only want certain qualifiers so they in turn can ensure their mates win spots in all the qualifiers.
Cant someone simply say sure. You can help me with some of the basic stuff.
The reason why you cannot simply do that is because of how much work these events can demand. It is expected that you be on top of handling the scorinator and make sure that you are not going to make mistakes, or if you do....fix them accordingly. This is to ensure that even if things might go catastrophically on an event, it would not screw up great parts of the Olympic Games overall.
In order to ensure, that you need to have such scorination experience well in advance. Scorination and hosting experiences, especially to the point where you'll be able to reach that level of expectations successfully, don't come so handily in such a short matter of time.

That would be the case if I was asking to host the football. I'm not. I'm asking to host the American football, a demonstration event which doesn't even count towards your skill modifier.

I think that's a fair argument, since it doesn't affect medals. However CH's made his decision and I don't think going on about it will change his mind. As has already been said, the best way to put yourself out there is to host smaller tournaments first. We all had to do that before getting the big gigs.
On a separate note, however, you mention on the previous page that you, I quote, "don't take part in many events on ns sport because I am studying for a law degree, work full time and am writing a book, while also having a boyfriend, a social life, musical commitments, and membership in other rps as well as gameplay". Hosting takes a lot of time and effort, and requires full dedication. I would suggest that if you are indeed that busy with everything, hosting should not necessarily be that high on your to-do list. As West Phoenicia correctly points out, it is a lot of work for very little return.

If I didn't think I could host it, I wouldn't have said I would host it. It'd be really easy for CH to rectify (he just edits a post or two.)

If possible, could Roque De Almeida be amended to Roque De Santa? He’s in Athletics, Men’s 200m.

Don't forget to tell him the event Sian/Maria is entered into; such a minor change should be OK (though I can't speak for CH, obviously), but at this point in time the host has a lot of data-related admin to do, so full details would make things that much quicker for both of you.

I don't quite get how Shulman/Frutos can lose their game 2-1 but still have an unbeaten record in the table, unless of course we actually won it 2-1 (21-5/16-21/17-15) as the table suggests.

That'll be my error in compiling the manual tables (which I had to do because I removed Group L1 to fix the error with Sargossa's entry, which screwed up all the remaining tables for the other groups in xkoranate). The score is accurate; the table is not. I'll fix that.
