Ator People
TNPer
The main games will take place in the capital city of Rio Ciudad in the province of Terrain de Poisson. However, some of the games on rivers will take place in the River Ator, stretching from Cielian Heights to the southeast coast of Terrain de Poisson. Sailing in the ocean will take place off the coast of Terrain de Poisson near the mouth of the River Ator.

Introduction to Points System
My idea was to add a twist to the games. What would happen is each nation participating would be given points, and with those points they could "buy" athletes or use them to increase the chances of an athlete winning.
Individual Points
Each nation would start with 31 individual points. These can be used to enter an athlete or group of athletes in any sport with less than 4 people on a 'team'. So each 'team' or 'individual' would be 1 point. But if you entered, for example, too people in the triathlon , they would each cost a point. But if you don't want an athlete in every sport, you can enter more than one in one sport, or you can use points to buy "stars."
Stars are bought with points to increase an athlete's chances of winning. Basically, each star increases an athletes chance, in the random selection of winners of each game, by 5%. Each star costs one point, and you can buy a max. of five stars per athlete. This can help you up to 25% to win a medel in a particular event.
Team Points
Each nation also gets 8 team points, so they can enter in the team events with 5+ athletes on a team. In the below list, team events are denoted by a *. Each team event requires one team point to enter a team. You can only enter one team per event, except for rowing events, in which you can enter a max of two teams (still 1 point per team).
Team points can be used to buy team "stars." As with individual stars, they increase your chance of winning. However, these team stars increase your teams chances by 15% a star, though you can only use 2 per team.
Bonus Points
Finally, there is one more part to this whole points system. You can get extra points if you are a bigger nation or you participate on this forum! I wanted a way to reward people for participation in the region. So for every 1 billion people in your TNP nation, you gain 1 individual point. And, for every thousand of posts (in your post count) you have on this forum, you gain 1 individual point. These extra "bonus" points can only be redeemed up to 10 points, so as to not unfairly hurt the other, newer players.
Determining Winners
The winners of events will be determined randomally, with the stars factored in.
Role Playing
National role playing throughout the games is encouraged. Each athlete entered will have to be given a name. Nations are also encouraged to give a short bio on star athletes.

Suggestions
Please feel free to make suggestions to the point system, the games list, or just how these games are being planned.
I figured summer is fast approaching so I wanted to get these plans ready ASAP. I have spent a lot of time considering how this will be run, but I am open to suggestions for changes.
Entering Athletes
Unless there are any major objections, nations may begin entering athletes for the events. Remember, 31 individual points, 8 team points, and bonus points. It is okay to not use points. One point per athlete/team. One point per star. Max 5 stars for individuals, 2 stars for teams.
Is that too confusing?
