I NationStates Athletics Championships - Emberton, Krytenia
SIGNUP AND OOC THREAD
Welcome, one and all, to the signups for the first NS Athletics Championships, to be held in the Krytenian capital city of Emberton.
DEADLINE
All delegations should be posted by 18:00 UTC on Wednesday 21st September 2016. Signups after this deadline may be accepted or rejected at the host’s discretion. The Championships are scheduled to begin on or about Saturday 24th September, and finish on Sunday 2nd October. A comprehensive schedule of events will be provided closer to the start of the Championships.
INSTRUCTIONS
Copy the list of events below. Under each event, put the names of the athletes that you wish to participate in that event, if any. If you are not sending anyone to participate in an event, use the
- If only the maximum number is shown—e.g., “(2)”—it is an individual event, and you must give the name of each participating individual on a separate line. (You may enter fewer than the maximum number.)
- Relay events have a specific team size indicated—e.g., “(1 team of 4)”—you must give the name of each team member on a single line, separated by slashes.
SKILL MODIFIERS
Each entry must be given a skill modifier, which is a whole number from 0 to 100: 0 for the worst athletes and 100 for the best. A team entry gets a single skill modifier for the entire team, while an athlete participating in multiple events has a separate modifier for each event. The average of all modifiers in a delegation may be at most 60. Please note this is slightly higher than the average for Olympic signups.
There will be an adjustment for min-maxing; this will be incorporated into the RP bonus in the form of a "Min-Max Avoidance Bonus," or MMAB, which is 0.2 if the standard deviation of all modifiers is 20 or less, 0 if the standard deviation is 40 or more, and adjusts on a linear scale where it is between 20 and 40.
EXAMPLE ENTRY
To ensure that your entries can be processed correctly, it is essential that you use exactly the correct format for the entry lines. If you fail to do so, your entries may be rejected and you will be asked to resubmit them.

CORRECTIONS
Edits may be freely made to your post up until the point where your entry is being processed. To assist in this, when I am about to process a group of entries, I will post an "UPDATE POINT" message. Any posts above this message will be processed "as is"; any further corrections or additions must be made in a new post. Corrections may be submitted up until the signup deadline; corrections submitted after the deadline may be accepted or rejected at the host’s discretion.
ENTRY LIMITS
Each user may enter up to two delegations (e.g. a master and a puppet nation), with a maximum of 200 entries across those delegations. An entry consists of one individual or one team entering one event—this means, e.g., that a team of four in one event counts as a single entry, while a single athlete participating in two events counts as two entries. There are 136 entries available per delegation, meaning the full 200 limit adds up to just under 1.5 delegations. Any user that is found to be submitting an undeclared puppet delegation will have all of their delegations removed.
