SIGNUPS/ROSTERS/DISCUSSION THREAD
Gamarjoba! And welcome to the signups thread of the Open of Kubistvis, a multi-sport event inspired by the Open di Kastos. The Sakhoveli (that's the demonym for Sakhovelo) peoples are awaiting you with open arms to enjoy a celebration of athletes in a spirit of peace, friendship and happiness. All the events will be hosted in the metropolitan area of the city of Kubistvis, hence the name. As an open tournament for the peoples of Esportiva, any Esportivan nation is welcomed as well as every Esportivan athlete in a basis of NO discrimination. The Open is organized by the OOKOC (Open of Kubistvis' Organising Committee).
We'll work with two threads, this one for signups, rosters and discussion, whilst the second one will be used ONLY for ceremonies, RPs and results, to be opened soon. The first posts here are very important, so please read them! And also, Thatius is an invited nation for having hosted the last Open Tournament.
How to sign up?
Copy and paste the events list that is in the following post. If you don't want to participate in an event, just erase it from the final list. The numbers appearing next to each event represent the maximum number of entries that each delegation (country) can enter into a single event. Of course, you can enter less athletes than the number shown. For the next steps, just keep reading. Put the names of your athletes or team, and at the side, put the skill modifier.
Nonetheless, remember to NOT tag or post a "provisional sign-up", as it will be ignored. Also, bear in mind that you can't edit your posts, as I may not realize you've changed anything. Any, absolutely ANY change you want to make, please make it in a new post.
Ahem... What's an skill modifier?
A skill modifier is the data used in the scorinator to give the final results outcome. It represents (as the name suggests) the skill that your athlete has for his sport. In this case, we'll use an scale from 0 to 100, where 0 means an amateur-ish athlete, and 100 is one of the world-class-professionals of his class. There's an skill modifier for EACH entry... Therefore, a team of Lacrosse will have only ONE skill modifier, as will a duo of Tennis, and a single athlete in swimming.
Overall, the average of skill modifiers must be 50 or less. If your average is more than 50, we'll be in charge of changing all the skill modifiers of your delegation, MOEHAHAHA :evil:! No, seriously, please 50 or less.
Entry... entry... entry... What's an entry, after all?
An entry represents an athlete or a group of athletes competing in ONE event. That means that a team (for the team sports) counts as one entry, and an athlete (let's say in cycling, for example) is also one entry. But remember that a same athlete competing in different events still counts as different entries. Got it?
Limits
Well... what would be life without limits? Do you think it'd be happy to have an anarchy?
Well, you're wrong! At least here, we DO need rules, so....
The limit of entries will be 180 for all the competing nations, and 220 for the host (following RL examples where the tournaments have a larger delegation coming from the host). To compensate, the average of the host's delegation will have to be 38 or less, instead of 50 or less. Unlike other events, we will allow the participation of an unlimited number of puppet nations, BUT adding up those delegations to that of the master nation, there must not be more than 350 entries.
Name-o-mania!
Every entry must have a name, except where it says “1 team” (and there’s no specification on how many people are on that team); you can just put “team” or “national team”. If you actually want to name the players of this type of teams, you can do it in a roster for purposes of roleplaying. You NEED to name competitors for doubles, relay events, or anywhere where it says “x team of y”.
Anything else?
Yes. Now, for purposes of funding, we need you to send U$500 to my account in Colombia..... Nah, kidding. We get 5 cents every time you type a letter ;). We need you to fill out the following information as well...
