Okay, since I've had a number of voices telling me they're interested in this, I'll go ahead with it.
These are the signups for the inaugural Inter Nation Cycling Championships. There are events in all four Olympic cycling disciplines, those being BMX, mountain, road and track. At each event, points will be scored depending on finishing position (or round eliminated) to contribute to a team event. The team with the lowest cumulative total wins the team event.
Each individual event will present medals. There are three team events: men's, women's and combined; each of these events will also present medals. Therefore there are a number of different ways to judge success in this championships: by medals (continuously finishing top three), or by winning the team events (being consistent).
The Championships will be scorinated using xkoranate 0.3; the exact dates of the event are not confirmed at this time although it is likely to be in the second or third week of September.
This events list is identical to that of the cycling programme in Beijing 2008, plus the four events for women which did not make it onto the Beijing list.
There are a total of 25 sets of medals up for grabs at these Championships (the 18 in Beijing in 2008, four more women’s events, plus three combined events).
It is recommended that you enter a full complement of athletes into each event; failure to do so will mean you earn unnecessary points in an event you fail to enter. The number of athletes per nation able to compete in each event is noted next to each event name.
You should give each entry a rating between 0 (worst) and 1 (best); the average of all your ratings must be 0.5 or less. If the rating for an entry is not stated, it will be treated as 0.5.

There is no maximum number of entries per nation; it is recommended you enter every event with full participation if you intend to score well in the team event. However, you need not do so if for RP purposes, your nation is weak at cycling, for example. If you have to edit your entry, feel free, but please inform me in a new post of what changes were made, otherwise I'll likely miss them.
The number of points awarded will vary from event to event, depending on format.
Signups will close September 7.
