Roleplaying
RPs will be cumulative with the nation being awarded up to 3 bonus points per day the RP. The grading for RPing will be mostly objective with an RP getting either get 1.5 or 3 points. Writing the RP's can significantly improve your athletes chance to win the tournament or perform well. Ranking points will also factor in but will not play as big of a role as RPing. There's no criteria for how creative, or complex, or anything on how they have to be. Do whatever you feel.
