2025 Olympics Registration Thread
#1

Registrations for the 2025 Summer Olympics in Suyang, Haesan along with the 2026 Winter Olympics cohosted by Lumeire, Auria and Atlantis, Eiria are now open!  With 220 events in total, the two Olympics will feature nearly double the events of the 2023 Hanshui Olympics (113 events), and the Summer Olympics alone will be the largest single Olympics to date by event count with 154 events.  We are excited to be rolling out a completely new computational system for this event to make an Olympics of this scale a reality.

We are pleased to announce the following new categories of events:

Summer Olympics
  • Artistic Swimming
  • Badminton
  • Beach Volleyball
  • Boxing
  • Canoeing
  • Cricket
  • Drywall Ball
  • Football (Soccer)
  • Golf
  • Hockey (Field)
  • Rowing
  • Rugby Sevens
  • Shooting
  • Squash
  • Sport Climbing
  • Taekwondo
  • Volleyball
Winter Olympics
  • Cross-Country Ski
  • Freestyle Ski
  • Snowboarding
 
Additional events have also been added to many returning event categories across the summer and winter games, with the notable return of field events to athletics for the first time since Shuell 2019.

This is a tremendous leap for the games, however, in order to manage the immense computational load this event will require to run successfully, prompt and accurate submission forms are extremely important.  The deadline for submissions will be July 27 but we recommend starting your form as soon as possible, especially if you have puppet nations who you want to submit for.  Submitting a full slate of athletes, as for nations in real life, will be a bit of an ordeal, and we expect that only the most dedicated and well resourced nations will be able to do so.  It is totally ok for nations to only enter in a subset of events and leave the remaining entries blank.  This is somewhat expected and may even be encouraged for RP fidelity, especially with smaller nations.

The roster submission process is as follows:

  1. Copy a version of this Google Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing
     
  2. Add names of contestants to the "Athlete(s)" column, taking into mind the following rules as you do so:
  • If an event is followed by a number in parentheses (e.g., "(2)") it requires that number of athletes listed to enter in that event.  Athlete names should be separated by commas.
  • If an event is followed by the word "Team" in parentheses, a team name should be provided.
  • If an event is not followed by a parenthetical, the name of a single individual should be provided.
  • Names should be provided in Western style, with surnames last (Hae-rin Lee (correct) v. Lee Hae-rin (incorrect)).
  • If an event has a detail in brackets (e.g., "[Song]"), it is optional flavor that is recommended to be provided alongside your entry.  If you would like to add flavor or detail to these entries (or other entries), please use square brackets to indicate that it is not essential to your entry.
      3. Add ratings for each entry where you are submitting a roster.
  • Overall ratings are shared across the summer and winter games, combined they must sum to zero or less.
  • Each rating must be between -50 and 50.
  • In order to minimize spread-related shenanigans (i.e. putting 50 for half of entries and -50 for the remainder), the standard deviation of your entries must be less than 33.  The standard deviation is conveniently calculated for you in cell B279. 
      4. Review your entry sheet and ensure you have followed the rules and regulations above.

      5. Submit the link to your finished registration sheet in a reply on this forum by the deadline.  Be sure you've turned on sharing via link!
      Please additionally provide the following information in your submit message:
  • Nation 
  • Trigram
  • Puppet Status of Submitting Nation
  • Priority Ranking of Puppet (only needed if submitting with multiple puppets, ties are allowed)

This is definitely a slightly more complicated submission ruleset than in prior iterations, but this is a result of each sheet needing to be formulaically scraped by code.  Standardizing the forms in this way makes the import process significantly easier, as each specific quirk of each nation's names would otherwise need to be manually coded in.  As such, we ask for your compliance if your submission may require slight alterations.  Of course, failure to comply with clerical requests by the governing Olympic committee may result in sanctions against violating parties.

We look forward to seeing your submissions and to a fun and historic Fourth IDU Olympic Games!
