By now, I know that you’re all aching to know what the challenges are.

Well, I’m not gonna tell you. I will, however, tell you the (unofficial) NAMES of the challenges so that you can guess what they are. (And I’ll tell you the prizes, too.)

At the end of this post is a re-explanation of how entry submissions and point-earning work.

Alright. Here you go.

Challenge #1:

(Free)hand-to-hand Combat

$20.00 Prize

Challenge #2:

Rebuild an Army

$15.00 Prize

Challenge #3:

Wits of the Heavens

$10.00 Prize

Challenge #4:

Battle for Power

$25.00 Prize

Challenge #5:

Battle for Unity

$15.00 Prize

Here’s the explanation of entry submissions and point scoring.

On a set date, a challenge/event will be posted. In that post, will be a description of the challenge, the prompt, the prizes, the amount of time you have to complete the challenge, and the hashtag that corresponds with it.

People from different teams (there can be entries from multiple people on one team!) will then prepare and submit their entries (using that challenge’s hashtag!) or complete the task at hand.

Each entry submitted for a challenge will give their team 5 points by default (hence the term “givens”).

Once a challenge closes, there will be a 2 day judging period where the judges will choose their top 3 entries from each team. Since there are 6 teams, 18 entries will be picked total. From those 18, the judges will pick a first, second, and third place winner for that challenge.

Each winning “place” has a fixed amount of points tied to it, and that number of points is given to the team from which the entry in that place originated. (So say that someone on Team Sword wins first place in an event. They’ll receive 20 points for winning first, and those points will go to Team Sword.)

1st Place in a Challenge:

20 points for your team

2nd Place in a Challenge:

15 points for your team

3rd Place in a Challenge:

10 points for your team

The team with the most points at the end of the Olympics overall will receive a prize, and the top three who scored the most points for their team will get prizes of their own as well.

The event schedule and timeline will be up shortly.
