How to sign up
Please pay attention and read through the following information very carefully. If there is a problem with your sign-up, it may not be entered and you might need to resubmit your entries.
You should copy and paste the event list in your post and fill in both the nation name, and the trigramme (a three letter code representing your nation). For each sport, there may be particular events -- usually one for each gender. The number in brackets are the entry limit, for example, a (2) would mean you can only send a maximum of two athletes to that event.
In some team events, where the number of people is specified, such as (1 team of 2), then you will need to provide two names, separated by a forwards slash. In other team events, a team of athletes needs to be entered -- for competitions that simply say (1 team), then you should just enter your nation's name, rather than the names of every single athlete (there will be a roster thread for that purpose, where you can also add additional information about your team, such as flagbearers/officials/etc.) Individual athlete's names provided should be First Name and Last Name, with only the first letters capitalised (see below). Team names should be just the simple name of your delegation, eg. 'New Gelderland', NOT 'The Delegation of New Gelderland'.
There is a maximum of 200 entries per nation, which is a reduction from 300 last year. An entry is just one participation of an event (adding up all the numbers in parentheses). A puppet delegation may be added, but the total entries per user is 300, a reduction from 400 last year. Each individual delegation (puppet or main) must not exceed the 200 limit. Unified teams of two or more nations/associations are subject to the same rules above, with each OOC user having 300 entries, and one delegation can not have more than 200 entries. All puppets and unified teams should be declared, and they should have a different trigramme.

If you don't have any athletes participating in a particular event, please remove it from your sign-up sheet. Do not 'tag' or add a post and say that you are going to edit in your entry later. If you have any alterations or edits to your sign-up sheet, do so in a new post, or it will be missed.
You may use the Free Republic's Signup Creator to assist you in creating your delegation, found at this link. Please note that the limit has changed from 300 to 200 (the creator was produced last year).
Skill Modifiers
Each athlete will be assigned by you a skill between 0 to 100. 0, in this case means, an athlete who has just qualified for the event, and is still pretty decent when compared to the average person. 100 means they are the world's best. The average skill modifier (adding up all the numbers, then dividing by the total amount of athletes) across your entire delegation should be less than or equal to 50. Automatic entries do not contribute to the entry average. Entries may be scaled down if the average is a bit higher, but entries will be outright rejected if the average far exceeds 50.
Please note that you should try to avoid the use of 'min-max' your entries ie. submitting unrealistic delegations of 0s and 100s only, with no numbers in the middle. You will be penalised by the MMAB based on how much this occurs to your delegation. The weighting for this tournament's RP Bonus will be 20% MMAB, 30% last day's RP, 50% cumulative RP. The methodology for KP's MMAB formula can be found here.
The skill modifier for each athlete/team should be placed under the event you want them to participate in. It should be in the following format: Player Name/Nation;Trigramme;Skill Modifier. Make sure that the trigramme you nominate is consistently used throughout. Use semicolons (;) to delineate between the different name, trigram and skill. Please remember that for team events, the entry name should be 'Athlete A/Athlete B/Athlete C', that is that a forwards slash should separate athlete names, and there are no spaces in between the slashes. Examples of all the formats of a signup are below.

If you want a program/application to figure out the averages and make the process easier, feel free to use FFR's Signup Creator. But please note that you can not save progress: so either do all the entries in one sitting, or do them in parts and combine them at the end (just make sure you stay under the 50 average). Remember, the limit is 200, not 300.

Demonstration Sports
The Electrum Olympic Committee has resolved to announce the mechanism for which demonstration sports are held. Nations may suggest sports for inclusion as a Demonstration Event and they will be held if there are enough entrants to justify its inclusion. The sport should be played on snow or ice. There should be a brief explanation on how the sport works and how it is scored. Host discretion is used to determine if the sport shall be included on the list. The Electrum Olympic Committee proposes the following demonstration events (note that signups to the demonstration events do not count towards the total, but do count towards the average):
BANDY
Men's (1 team)
Women's (1 team)
CURLING
Mixed Doubles (1 team of 2, 1 man and 1 woman)
