1912 New Ricroal (New Canciona) Olympics

The 1912 Olympic Games are to be held in New Ricroal, New Canciona. Currently registration is open.

Because of Tolkienfan's sense of humour, traditional events have been skimped on to make way for some truly bizarre new games like Barrel Racing (not what you think it is), Food Fighting (exactly what you think it is) and 100 Metres Standing Still (what it says on the tin).

Events summary
This is copied verbatim out of the Olympics project on Scratch.

Marathon
The race will be 43 kilometres (Imperial people, work out the distance in miles for yourselves, dinnae ken how they work) just to annoy everyone who was expecting 42 like last time. It will be over a cross-country terrain, because I didn't want it in a city.

Swimming in Formation
Will be swum in Cangrejo Bay, which is fairly calm. This event is more of a showstopper than a race; place will be awarded to the most impressive display.

Archery
A straightforward test of accuracy with a longbow.

Fencing
Competitors will duel with actual, useful swords, not with the useless epee things they often have to use. Attempts will be made to keep event safe; if your athlete dies, we will pay for the funeral.

Sailing
A race around the coast of New Canciona, starting at New Ricroal and ending at Puerto Langoster Nova. Will include challenging choppy waters around Langoster Estrella Point.

Pole Vaulting
Chosen simply because it's satisfying to watch people do it. Participants use a long flexible pole to propel themselves over a high bar, which they try not to knock down.

Rock Climbing
Fairly self-explanatory; climb around on a mountain, try not to fall off, and get to the top before anyone else does.

Barrel Racing
This isn't the weird equestrian event, or versions of said event on foot or in motorised vehicles. In this race, your team is going to actually manhandle a large barrel of wine around a course as fast as you can, while trying not to spill any of the wine (as an incentive, your team gets to take the wine home afterwards).

Gymnastics
Again, name says it all.

100 Metres Standing Still
A new game based on the player's ability to stay in one place for the greatest length of time.

Food Fight
All-out fight using food as a weapon. All competing countries must contribute to the available food. Sending over stuff past its best is OK, as long as nobody's going to definitely get sick from handling it. No raw meats.

Button Breaking
Brought back from 1904 Fictia Olympics! Game consists of seeing who can click a button the most times in one minute. Please don't use automatic clickers or anything; if I catch you cheating, you'll be disqualified. The one game where you can actually have any say in the outcome. Information on how to play in the minigame button, but one very important rule: you only get two attempts. Anything past the two attempts will be ignored.

Registration and country 'scores'
The 'scores' refer to the probability number that helps work out where each country will place. It is not the country's actual score, except in the case of the button breaking.

The editor is still working on confirming all of these scores. Even those labelled 'total' may be subject to change later on.

The event registration is as follows:
