The Tropics of Vilita invite athletes from across the multiverse to compete in the Vilitan Mountain Games, a collection of competitive athletics, specialty events and local traditions from the Vilitan Mountain regions. Spectators and family are welcome to attend to take in the entertainment including traditional dance and entertainment, food and casual games for all ages over the duration of the celebration. The Tropics of Vilita is located in the region of Atlantian Oceania, the oldest remaining major Sporting Region. For a look back at the previous edition check out the prior Vilitan Mountain Games Topic.
The Games are separated into Six major categories: The Heavy Athletics, Lumberjack Competition, Strongman Competition, Kleptochase, Tug of War and Open Events. In the Heavy, Lumberjack and Strongman competitions a single athlete will compete in five distinct events of that discipline with the goal of earning the title in each category. The open events are all contested on an individual basis with no requirement that an athlete compete in multiple events. While many of the events are longstanding traditions in the Vilitan Mountains, some of the games originated elsewhere in Atlantian Oceania including Kleptochase - a head-to-head competition combining maze running, escape room and capture the flag in a thrilling competition that originated in Az-Cz before spreading to Miceland, Bazalonia and further throughout Atlantian Oceania.
Due to the Confliction with the World Cup 92 Finals, this edition of the Vilitan Mountain Games will be streamlined and the Open Events will operate as their own category with condensed Events. To Celebrate World Cup 92, the Tug-of-War Competition will be contested by the teams competing in the Vilitan Half of the World Cup 92 Finals. Other Nations may apply to send a Tug-of-War team in the event on a first-come first-served basis in the event a World Cup 92 Participating Nation opts out of the Tug-of-War or an alternate easy-to-implement format is reached. If there is enough interest from non WC92 nations a parallel Tug-of-War Competition may be held.
Scorination for the Vilitan Mountain Games will follow World Cup Finals scorination for MD 1-6 (SF Scorination). RP Bonus will be light in nature and will be applied by searching the term "VMG" and "Vilitan Mountain Games" in the NS Sports forum before each scorination.
