OOC/Discussion & Problems
Sign-ups are OPEN!
Throughout 2023, the International Broadcasting Alliance will introduce sports events under the IBA Sports Championships. This will be open for member states of the International Broadcasting Alliance. During Cycle 2, the Wintersports and Racquets Champs will be taking place alongside the Netball Challenge.
How to participate
Who can participate?
As of Monday 20th November 21:45 GMT there are over 130 eligible nations that can submit delegations to The IBA Sports Championships II. We're more than willing to have new members, so if you would like to participate and you are not on this list, please sign up on the International Broadcasting Alliance | General Thread - it's quick and easy and even associate members can sign up...
Can I sign up now?
- You are able to sign up 79 entrants in cycle 2 of the IBA Sports Championships. In order to sign-up, please read on:
- The IBA has produced a HTML version of the sign-ups which you can use in order to create sign-ups for the competition. It's a quick and easy method once you're done, you can click "Generate Signups" and you can copy and paste what shows up there. Be mindful that you won't be able to save your progress and come back to it - so this is best if you'd like to do the sign-up quickly and at one time.
- Alongside that, there is a Excel/Google Sheets. It will provide exactly the same results as the above link, but you're able to save it and come back to it. As you're not able to edit it straight away, please download it or make a copy on Google Sheets - but please read the instructions beforehand.
- Skill modifiers has been set to be between 0-20, with 20 being the best and most experienced athlete in your nation whereas 0 would be given to someone who has just about managed to make it on the delegation. Your average skill modifier will have to be lower or equal to 10 so you might want to choose your modifiers carefully, perhaps giving more skill points to the sports you feel like your nation would excel in compared to others. You will have to make sure your standard deviation is less than 6.5. This means, you will not be able to have a delegation of only 20s and 0s - make it varied.
- Once you've completed either of the above forms, please post it on this thread and wait for it to be approved.
