[Olympics: Day 2]

[abarero]

1. As of this post, all qualifying rounds have ended! Congratulations to all of you that have advanced. For those that didn't quite make it, there will be events in the Olympic Village for you to compete for medals in, so don't fret!



2. All time limits will be in CST. The full schedule is up here, so please look ahead! You can always check the current time in CST with this world clock here!



3. All main events (Icon Dive, Fic Sprint, Art-chery, FST Freestyle) will be run strictly on a "completed on time" basis. If you complete the task and cross the finish line by the deadline, you will advance to the next round. Anyone reaching the final round will medal, and medal rankings will be decided based on the quality of work (full color image gets higher marks than sketch, higher fic word count gets higher marks than smaller word count). But all finalists will medal, so don't fret it!



4. In events with fewer entrants who have qualified, we will keep advancing towards the final until we reach the final round or until we have only one entrant who has advanced.



5. CHECK OUT THE OLYMPIC VILLAGE GAMES! There are Torchbearer awards and MEDAL EVENTS in this post! Along with fun games and chat. Please check it out!



6. Congratulations to our first three medalists in the Speed Fic round! The Speed Art round is still up for grabs and more Speed Events will be posted in the Olympic Village throughout the week, so keep your eyes pealed!

There will be addition rules for each event in their thread, which you can view below! Let the games (and fun) begin!

Today's Events are:

• Fic Sprint


• Art-chery


• FST Freestyle


• Icon Dive


• Gif-astics


• Doujinshi Scanathon
