Opening Ceremony

Confederation of Corrupt Dictators International Olympics Opening Ceremony from Emanoel Stadium at Vocraye, the capital of Jocospor

*Fireworks and thunderous applause go off while Cultural Director of Jocospor Tiberius Welsh approaches the podium at Emanoel Stadium. As he makes his way to the podium the crowd starts to go silent. Tiberius Welsh clears his throat and starts speaking.*

"Hello everyone. I am Cultural Direcktor of Jocospor Tiberius Welsh. On behalf of the The Imperial Empire of Jocospor, I would like to welcome everyone who has made their way here for this special occasion whether they are from a nation of the CCD or one of our international participants. When the idea of a regional Olympics was first suggested by CCD's own head of the Department of Transportation Arka Vandex of The Incorporated States of Ingostan. It is safe to say that regional leadership was intrigued. After all the Confederation has some great athletes that would welcome a chance to show off their ability. Ultimately it was decided that we should also open this up to the international community. In a world filled with fear and uncertainty of the future this is a perfect opportunity for people to come together. We hope to provide the region and the world with an entertaining event and give these athletes a chance to compete with some of the best. This years Olympics will comprise of three events. The first event is Basketball. That event will be played at this very stadium. Then we will be holding multiple swimming races. Swimming will be held at the Sieuward Center and will comprise of 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, and 1.6km races. The third and final event being held in the Inaugural Confederation of Corrupt Dictators International Olympics will be a 42 kilometer marathon through Vocraye. We wish all participating athletes good luck and look forward to seeing them in action. Let the opening ceromony commence! Hail the Confederation!"

Event 1 Basketball Recap

Round 1

Fetra vs Pepsi Governate of Korea

Jack Billeser scores 38 of Fetra's points as Fetra gains a 82-70 over Pepsi Governate of Korea

Pepsi Governate of Korea was able to get a solid lead on Fetra early. Within the first five minutes they built up a 10-2 lead. But it wouldn't last. "We were up early and doing playing pretty good. I got to give "Coach Tomson(Fetra's coach for this event) credit. He regrouped his players and they were able to expose our defence. "Coach Jorson said to an interviewer. At halftime Fetra led 46-30 and they would never trail for the rest of the game.

Scoring Leaders
Jack Billleser of Fetra: 38 points and 5 out of 6 three point shots made.
Erik Hertzog of Pepsi Governate of Korea: 28 points and 2 out of 5 three point shots made.

Tribe of Peace vs Castelia

Tribe of Peace beats Castelia 76-73 on a last second shot from Orama Kioul.

This was quite a wild game. No team was ever able to get up by more than five points as it was close throughout the whole game. It was only a miracle three point shot from Orama Kioul that prevented the game from going to overtime. "I had the ball and I knew I might as well shoot it. After all we had nothing to lose and everything to gain" said Oram Kioul. "We were determined to not let them beat us at the point of attack. Though in retrospect the fouls were what probably hurt us the most" remarked Castelia's Coach Concar. This game was especially meaningful for Tribe of Peace players and coaches. "Our country has gone through a lot recently. We hope that winning a championship in this event will provide a sort of inspiration for us moving forward" Coach Assad of the Tribe of Peace said as his team walked to the locker room.
Scoring Leaders
Sada Koussard of Tribe of Peace: 24 points and 4 out of 12 three point shots made.
Ken Jackson of Castelia: 32 points and 4 out of 7 three point shots made.

Gold medal Round

Fetra vs Tribe of Peace

Tribe of Peace beats Fetra 83-75 to win the CCDIO gold medal in basketball.

As the final seconds ticked off the clock the crowd erupted. "We just had to execute our strategy. It wasn't always perfect but we did what we had to so we could get the win" Coach Assad said after the game. Fetra did manage to make it 75-78 with a minute and a half left in the game, but Tribe of Peace would then score 5 more points to ultimately put the game out of reach for Fetra. "You can't deny that Tribe of Peace played a good game. They are a very talented team I have to admit" said Coach Tomson of Fetra. Tribe of Peace players and coaches were very emotional after the game. "While nothing can quite help us get over the explostion at our capital city, we can at least take solace in the fact that we were able to get the gold medal. This is certainly going to make the people of our country proud" said Coach Assad.

Scoring Leaders
Soren Habith of Tribe of Peace: 30 points and 4 out of 10 three point shots made.
John Summers of Castelia: 26 points and 3 out of 9 three point shots made.
