International Athletics Grand Prix
How to Sign Up
You may use The Kytler Peninsulae's nifty signup sheet (xls) as the entry limits for the athletics are the same. Or you may continue to sign up in the traditional manner - Entry Name;TLA;skill value. Old-style entries will not be accepted, and remove events where you do not have participants.
Please do not copy your signup from KBC/Zube. Your athletics average will be different from your overall average.
For any changes you might wish to make in your delegation, please make them in a new post. I will NOT go back to look at posts once I have entered the results, and any such changes will be passed over.
List of Events
Skill and Entry Limits
Skill values are between zero and one hundred. A zero represents the lower end of a qualified athlete (not a total dunce who's never played the sport before), and a 100 represents world class athletes (e.g. Usain Bolt, Roger Federer, etc.).
There will be an entry limit of 100 entries with an average skill limit of 50. There is a limit of one puppet per user, and the combined numbers of your delegation and your puppet's delegation must not exceed 175 entries. Unified delegations are allowed, but they must be declared and are subject to the 175 entry limit. You may enter an unified delegation with a delegation of 100 entries and another delegation of 75 if you so wish.
Delegations which violate the entry rules will be rejected until they meet the rules.
There will be a Min-Max Avoidance Bonus, which takes into account the standard deviation of your entries. You can use Kytler Peninsulae's spreadsheet to calculate this.
Venues
Nations may submit venues for consideration, regardless of whether they are involved in the Grand Prix or not. I don't have a target for venues in mind, but any and all submissions are welcome, and after the deadline, I will make a choice about venues which will be used during competition. You don't have to write an essay about your venue; a name, city, and capacity are all that are required, although a picture and short (i.e. one sentence) description would be appreciated.
Other Items
Signups will tentatively close on August 22.
RP Bonus will include 20% MMAB and 80% subjective grading of posts. The exact percentage of RP bonus will not be disclosed at this time.
I will give myself a host bonus (likely between 25% - 50% of the max RP bonus) during this event.
