About :: The AOlympic Games: Winter Festival is a competition between Nations of the Atlantian Oceania Region. The AOlympic Games were first held as an experimental campaign alongside AOCAF 61 featuring 3 sports, and most recently in the AOlympic Games: Team Challenge alongside AOCAF 64. The AOlympic Games: Winter Festival will consist of an array of several individual and team sports each awarding Gold/Silver/Bronze medals to nations based on their placement in the event and an overall medals table.
RP Considerations :: Individual events such as the various skiing and skating disciplines will be divided into mens and womens events. For each event, a nation will enter ONE athlete or team of athletes. Team sports, as well as dog sledding and snowmobiling are assumed co-ed / gender neutral and eligible participants for each team entered will simply follow the eligibility standards of their respective National Federations.
RP Cutoffs :: The AOlympic Games Team Challenge will run slightly offset from the AOCAF Competition. Nations can earn bonus for all contributions to the AOCAF/AOlympic RP Threads. RP Bonus will be shared in some form across all competitions. As the various Winter Festival sports will be scorinated by 3 different users, RP cutoff times will likely vary with those users' availability. We will do our best to communicate those times and dates clearly. RP cutoffs for events hosted in Squornshelan Remnant States will occur between 11pm and 12am EDT. RP cutoffs for events hosted in Busoga Islands will occur between 10pm and 12am EDT.
Events Detail::
While Ice Hockey and Curling competitions will be administrated by their respective governing bodies, the remaining sports: skiing, skating, sliding and others fall under the auspices of the Atlantian Oceanian Winter Competitions Hierarchy (AOWCH). Events to be held at this year's competition are as follows:
