The Paripana Sporting Council invites all and sundry to participate in the world’s greatest sporting spectacle, as the world’s eyes are once again drawn toward the island metropolis of Aeropag, Paripana for the Games of the IV Olympiad.
Signup 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, remove it from the list. The maximum number of competitors is specified in parentheses after each event. If the number of athletes on a team for a team sport is not given—it just says “(1 team)”—you do not need to make a roster, but you can post one in the roster thread (for all other events, names are required and go in this thread). In your signup, you may specify your team’s three-letter abbreviation, though one will be created for you if you do not.
Signup limits
Each nation may have a delegation of no more than 500 entries, exculding entries in demostration events. An “entry” consists of one individual/team enetring one event—this means, e.g., that a relay team in one event counts as a single entry, while a single athlete participating in two events counts as two entries. Each person may enter no more than one puppet nation, and, when entering a puppet, must state who their main nation is.
Skill modifiers
Optionally, you can put a skill modifier after each of your athletes, in parentheses. Skill modifiers range from 0 to 1, with 1 being best and 0 worst. Skill modifiers are assigned per entry, as explained above; a relay team has a single skill modifier, while an athlete participating in multiple events has a separate modifier for each event (though his modifier in each event may be the same). The average of all modifiers in a delegation, excluding demonstration events, may be no more than 0.5; any delegation with a higher average will have its modifiers reduced. The rules for modifiers in demonstration events are more relaxed, but the average skill for all demonstration event entries should also be 0.5 (even though some of these entries may be in events that will not be held). Any entry which has no skill modifier will be treated as having a modifier of 0.5.
Roster thread
You can put any additional information about your delegation (e.g., team rosters, flag bearer, national anthem) in the roster thread. The signup thread should be limited to information important to the signup process (i.e., entries, TLAs, demonstration sports, and questions about the signup process).
Signup deadline
All delegations should be posted by 16:00 UTC on Friday, 2009-09-04. Signups after this deadline may be accepted or rejected at my discretion (depending primarily on time and size of delegation). The Games will run from Monday, 2009-09-07 to Wednesday, 2009-09-30, with the opening ceremony on 2009-09-06. As with previous Olympics, scorination will occur twice per day. A schedule of events will be provided after signups have closed.
Corrections
If there is an error in your initial signup post, and you notice it more than twenty-four hours after posting, or after the deadline for signups has passed, please indicate specific corrections in a new post instead of editing your existing post. Corrections made after the signup deadline may or may not be accepted, depending on the severity of the change (such decisions will be explained should the need arise).
Demonstration events
Demonstration events will be held should there be sufficient demand. In order to nominate a demonstration sport, provide the following information:
- A list of events within the sport. This may involve a split into men’s and women’s events, a series of weight classes, a series of distances, or whatever similar categorization is relevant to the sport. Some or all of these events may be consolidated if interest levels are not sufficient to sustain every possible event; you should specify if there are any events that are sufficiently dissimilar that their entrants cannot be funneled into a single event.
- A set of results for the sport, that can be used to set up the scorinator for it. If the sport is fictitious, either a set of fictitious results will be needed, or a statement that the results are similar enough to some other sport that the same scorination parameters can be used. If results differ for each event within the sport, this requirement must be satisfied for each event. For sports such as baseball and American football, which are sufficiently popular in real life that results are readily available, this requirement can be ignored.
- A brief explanation of the competition format that should be used. This can take the form of a reference to a real-life competition (a link to information should be provided unless the format follows that of an Olympic event), or a detailed explanation if the sport requires some unique format.
- The maximum number of individuals or teams that each nation can enter in each event, and, for team events, the size of the team.
Example signup
This is the preferred form for signups; it need not be followed precisely, but something similar would be nice.

Events list
Note: In archery, equestrian, and artistic gymnastics, there is a team event corresponding to each individual event, and these events are interrelated. Entering the maximum number of athletes in the individual event will automatically enter those athletes in the corresponding team event. This is not the case in fencing, in which the individual and team events must be entered separately.
