WANT TO BE THE BEST? WANT TO SHOW OTHER NATIONS WHO'S BOSS?



Starting a new tradition this year, the people of Etres Vrais have decided to begin a new tradition: the Winter Sport International Expo (WSIE). This year, competition is open in the folowing sport areas:

Bobsled (2 person and 4 person)
Figure Skating
Snowboarding
Cross-Country Skiing

*PROCEDURE:
If you are interested in joining this years WSIE, please submit your country name, as well as which sport you will be participating in. All submissions must be in by January 6th. (This may close earlier if a large volume is received.) Please note the Bobsled has TWO different events, a 2 person and a 4 person. Please specify the difference.

**Scoring: Much like in the Olympic Games, each team will receive a RANDOM 8 scores through an Excel application at the end of their run, each on a scale of 1-10. The lowest and highest scores will be eliminated. The remaining six will then be averaged. Since this is the first year of play, there will be no ranking system installed, just flat out competition. ;)
**After the 8th (or whenever posting closes), this fourm will become an RPG area, where you may get into your nation's role at the event (conferences, injuries, player bios, etc.).

**Event timeline::

January 8th- ALL ENTRIES DUE

News of the WSIE caused excitement in the recently founded New Propagandian Sports Society lead by the Overseer of Sport, and also those in the know(such as Sports Propaganda magazine). With it being openly announced New Propagandia couldn't refuse.

We'll be taking to the halfpipe and some cross country skiiers are coming along. Any limit on the number of participants from each country?

While there is no limit to the number of physical participants you send to the Expo (for example sending a team and a back up team), but only one team can actually participate on event day. (You may participate with different teams in each of the different rounds.)

Well, snowboarders don't compete in teams...
Etres Vrais

haha..I meant that for the general group of participants. You can have more than one snowboarder participate. They will count individually. (I wasn't thinking about that!) Thanks!
