FORMAT:
Xkoranate will be used. The player/team to win two sets first wins the match, with twenty-one points winning a set. At the occurrence that both sides hit twenty points, the side to be ahead by two points wins the set.
Two Men's Singles, Two Women's Singles, Two Men's Doubles, Two Women's Doubles, and Two Mixed Doubles teams will be asked from each nation taking part. Each entry will have a maximum of one hundred skill points and a minimum of zero. The average of all entries entered by one nation (one may choose to enter less than the requested ten) must be fifty or less, just like it is for the NS Olympics.
In order to make sure that this event does not take forever to finish, all five competitions will occur at the same time. Each event's entrants will be split into Groups, and a single round-robin play will occur. Afterwards, the top sixteen (Group winners, than added on until the number is met) will make it to the knockout rounds, which will be a seeded hard knockout. If there are thirty nations, and hence, sixty entrants, the schedule would be as follows:
Group Stage - Ten Groups of Six
Day 1 - Group Stage MD1
Day 2 - Group Stage MD2
Day 3 - Group Stage MD3
Day 4 - Group Stage MD4
Day 5 - Group Stage MD5
Group winners and top six second-place finishers advance to knockout rounds
Knockout Stage
Day 6 - Round of 16
Day 7 - Quarterfinals
Day 8 - Semifinals
Day 9 - Finals and Third Place Match

If you do not wish to enter in a field, just put a N/A next to the category. I would also appreciate it if you'd put a M or a F in the Mixed Doubles players names so I know who's the male partner and who's the female partner.
