Nano Olympic Games 3310 by The Winged Hussars - descryption, rules

[Detson]

Greetings, Commanders!

  The Winged Hussars is delighted to welcome all Commanders interested in sporting competitions in Elite Dangerous.
  After many months of preparations, trials, and tests, we have created a variety of competitions based on existing sports disciplines. Despite the challenging nature of the game, we have managed to develop some exciting events that will undoubtedly provide you with great fun while allowing you to compete in the spirit of sportsmanship.
  For most competitors, the satisfaction will come from the joy of participation and friendly competition. However, for the best of the best, we have prepared attractive rewards: in-game credits and materials for equipment modification. The entire event takes place in On-Foot mode, meaning that the materials will only be useful for modifying suits and weapons. Detailed information can be found in the description of the Nano Olympics.
  We would like everyone interested to have the opportunity to participate in these events. Unfortunately, our capacity is limited, so we have decided that Squadrons will nominate their representatives.
  Each Squadron will have the opportunity to appoint up to two competitors for each event. If there are more candidates within a Squadron willing to participate in the Nano Olympics, internal eliminations will need to be conducted to select their representatives. The choice of elimination methods is left to the discretion of each Squadron. Note: if the number of submissions is lower than expected, the limit of two competitors may be increased. Details can be found in the further description of the Nano Olympics.
   In conclusion, I would like to inform all interested parties that on the date:

October 4th, 3310
begins:

Nano Olimpic Games by The Winged Hussars
Edition 3310

Welcome, Olympians!

 
  Below is the description of the Hussar Nano Olympics. In this edition, for your convenience, we have divided the information into sections so that you can quickly access what interests you most. Of course, you should read the entire text at least once. We invite you to read on.

Competitions

click

   Here are five Olympic events tailored for Elite Dangerous. These are real sports competitions that have been modified and adapted to fit the game's environment.
   The competitions are intentionally designed to be simple and understandable. In the case of the most rules-restrictive competition, the Space Biathlon, running through a settlement twice is enough to grasp its concept. This can be done in an active settlement, of course without shooting.
   None of the competitions require special preparations or collaboration with Engineers. All competitions only require Level G1 equipment, widely available at Pioneer Supplies on any station. Before each tournament, you will also have the opportunity to purchase this equipment on the carrier [TWH-DN] Olimp (JNQ-GVV). The same carrier will also transport interested participants to the planet where the competitions will take place. We have several locations to choose from, and depending on the time of day, we will select an appropriate planet. The entire cycle of competitions will happen on the same planet.
   The names of the competitions are links that will take you to the description of each one.

Run Charlie, Run!
Run through an active settlement between guards
Space Biathlon
Run along the perimeter wall of a settlement and shoot at targets
Shield Boxing
Engage in boxing to deplete the opponent's shield
Beetle Ball
Two-person team football (pushball) competition

Registration for the Nano Olympics 3310

click

  In our Nano Olympics, there will be the following participation limits for each competition:

16 players
for individual competitions
and
8 teams
for team competitions (each team consisting of two players)

  Several rules apply to registrations for the Nano Olympics:

1. The registration can only be submitted by a Squadron
   
2. The Squadron’s creation date must not be later than 31.08.3310 (2024)
   
3. At the time of submitting the registration for the Nano Olympics, the Squadron must consist of at least 10 Commanders
   
4. Squadron verification will be carried out via the Inara.cz service, so having an account there is essential for participating in the Nano Olympics
   
5. Registrations and other communications will only be accepted from Squadron Chiefs of Staff (Inara: Chief of Staff) or higher*
   

   Registrations will be made via a Google Form. Each Squadron can nominate up to two competitors for each event. However, we encourage you to create a reserve list that may be used if the number of registrations is lower than expected. If we receive fewer registrations than anticipated, additional spots will be evenly distributed among the Squadrons that have expressed interest in participating. Any remaining spots, which cannot be evenly distributed among the Squadrons, will be allocated through a draw. The draw will be conducted by ChatGPT.
   The registration process will consist of several stages, so please carefully review the guidelines. Links to the registration forms can be found at the end of this section.

Stage 1 - Registration for the Nano Olympics

   Registration for the Nano Olympics begins on September 23rd at 12:00 GMT. Until September 29th at 12:00 GMT, we ask Squadrons to express their interest in participating by filling out a Google form.**.

Stage 2 - Applications for Competitions

   Every Monday by 24:00 (GMT) before the start of each event, we expect the completion of the second Google Form. In this form, you should enter the Squadron's name and specify the number and names of the Commanders participating in the event***. It is not necessary to fill out the sections for other events at the time of submission; these can be skipped. In the following week, complete the form for the next event if your Squadron is participating.
   You can fill out the entire form at once if you know the lineup for other events at the time of submission. The list contains more slots than just the two primary ones, allowing for the addition of reserve Commanders. Note the order in which Commanders are added to the list; during the draw, those higher on the list will be considered first.
   At 14:00 every Wednesday before the competition, the list will be closed, and a draw will be conducted (using ChatGPT). By 20:00, the names of the participating Commanders will appear in the tournament brackets. During the eliminations, players will be divided into groups, with an approximate start time provided for each group to minimize waiting time.
   In exceptional cases, upon request from a Squadron, the deadline for submitting registrations can be extended to Thursday before the competition. The draw procedure will remain unchanged, but slots occupied by Commanders from the Squadron requesting the extension will remain temporarily unfilled. After the final submission of registrations, available spots will be allocated to the registered Commanders through a draw.
  In exceptional cases, as described above, it is possible to make substitutions to the list of players just before the competition****. New players will be randomly assigned to the available slots.

      
        *After submitting your registration, please expect a Private Message on the Inara.cz portal
       **On September 29th, you can complete the entire second form at once if you know the list of players, which will certainly expedite the process of drawing participants for the eliminations.
    ***For team competitions, we encourage you to provide team names.
  ****Each listed player must be familiar with the rules of the competition; it is not allowed for them to learn the rules during the event.

Rules

click

   Our main principle is to enjoy the game while respecting other participants. Any actions that disrupt the enjoyment of others will be taken seriously, and individuals may be disqualified from the competition. Excessive testing of the judges' patience may lead to the disqualification of the entire Squadron from the Olympics

  The rules governing the Events are described separately for each one. You will find them in the Events section, where each event name is a link leading to its detailed description. There, you will find the specific rules for each competition.

   Olympians are required to follow the organizers' instructions during the event. It is prohibited to shoot at other participants, throw grenades (anywhere), or engage in any other aggressive behavior. Flying a ship over the competition area is also forbidden.

  During the competitions held in Odyssey settlements, after landing, you should exit your ship in an SRV and then send the ship to orbit to free up space and allow other participants access. For safety reasons, SRVs are not allowed to move inside the settlement. During the event, all vehicles must be parked outside the settlement area. Only Organizer vehicles may enter and move within the settlement.
  An exception is made for parking at Stack and Klatt Enterprises bases. There, participants may park on the road leading to the ring. This exemption applies only to competitors taking part in the event.

Parking

  The substitution of a participant with another due to unforeseen circumstances is permitted. If such a substitution occurs during or before the eliminations, the substitute must continue participating in the competition, including the semifinals and finals. A player who was not present during the eliminations cannot return for the semifinals or finals, even if the substitute has advanced.
  On a day with both semifinals and finals scheduled, substitutions can be made before or during the semifinals. If the semifinals are completed and contact with the participant is lost (e.g., connection issues), the final will proceed. However, there is an exception: at the request of the concerned participant or Squadron, the organizers may set a new date for the final as soon as possible. All remaining finalists must agree to the rescheduling of the final.
   A similar rule applies to teams; a missing team member can be substituted. All players must be familiar with the competition rules; learning the rules and regulations during the competition is not permitted.
   The time provided by us is always in GMT.

Anti-Doping Control

click

   In every competition, the temptation of winning can be incredibly strong, sometimes leading to the use of prohibited substances. In this case, they could be modifications or enhancements to equipment. To prevent this, we have decided to ensure equal opportunities for all participants. How will we achieve this? Each player will be required to share their screen on one of the dedicated channels where the competitions will take place. The selection of participants for this process will be random and will be at the discretion of the judges.
   Upon a judge's request for a player to share their equipment, we initiate the stream, then return to the game, and only after that, we activate the equipment preview. This procedure must be carried out precisely in this sequence.
    For the disciplines: Space Biathlon and Shield Boxing, we will display our equipmen:

   

Equipment

   For the disciplines: Run Charlie, Run! oraz Beetle Ball, we will display our backpack:

   

Backpack

   After receiving confirmation from the judge, we turn off the preview, returning to the standard game view, and only after this step, we turn off the stream.
   For the PWR Raid competition, the stream will need to be on at all times. Therefore, we do not recommend this competition to players with weak connections. Detailed rules are provided in the competition description.

Game Mode

click

   We would like to conduct the competitions in Open mode, but there is still a long way to go before this mode works correctly. Additionally, we would need to enhance our security measures against individuals who might arrive solely to disrupt the enjoyment of other participants. matches will be held in Private Mode, which will be provided by one of the Nano Olympics organizers. Details about the appropriate mode will be communicated 24 hours before the competitions, and invitations will be sent to the participants. Upon the request of those who have registered for the Olympics and the Olympians themselves, it's also possible to invite other individuals, such as Fans or Streamers.
   The responsibility for invited individuals in this mode lies with the inviting person, ultimately the Squadron.

Nano Olimpiada 3309
   We've prepared channels on our Discord server especially for you. A text channel: #olympic-talks-pl-eng, and a voice channel: #Olympic Lobby. Both are multilingual. If you have any questions about the Nano Olympics, feel free to ask them on this channel. To get a quick response, it's advisable to use mentions for members of the Olympic committee (you will find the list of organizers at the end of this post).
   During the course of the competitions, two voice channels will be utilized for teams: Olympic Event #1 and Olympic Event #2. Generally, the events will take place on a single voice channel dedicated to participants. However, in the case of the PWR Raid competition, both team channels will be used. It's worth emphasizing that all voice channels used during the events are accessible to everyone, although individuals not participating in a specific competition may be asked to move to the main Nano Olympics voice channel.
   Of course, there is also the option for communication on the forum in a dedicated thread without the need to register an account.

Locations

click

  For the Nano Olympics, we will be using multiple locations, and all competitions taking place within Odyssey settlements will be situated on planets with atmospheres. This choice aims to provide participants with a maximum dose of excitement and enjoyment from the games.

 The competitions Beatle Ball and Shield Boxing will take place in one of the abandoned INRA bases, either at Stack or Klatt Enterprises.
    Stack, HIP 12099 System, Planet 1a, Gravity: 0.10 G.
    Klatt Enterprises, Alnath System, Planet A2aa, Gravity: 0.11 G.
 Whenever possible, we will strive to select planets where natural light will be available during the competitions. The differences in the gravities of these planets are too minor to influence our decisions. Additionally, the competition area will be illuminated by two SRV Scarab vehicles.

 The competition Space Biathlon will take place within the Odyssey settlement. It is a military-type settlement, marked with a "+". Within the settlement, there are two landing pads: small (S) and medium (M). You can also take a look at it in Commander Pitulek's guide; it's the Military Settlement, Type A. Below is the link to the guide and an image of the settlement.
Odyssey for Beginners Part 2 - Odyssey Bases

  We have several locations at our disposal, from which we will select the most suitable one for the competitions. The primary criterion for selection will be natural lighting. In most of these places, an Anarchy regime prevails, so there should be no issues with preparing the settlement for the competition. All competitions will take place in the same location, meaning that differences in gravity will not affect the games
 Here are a few locations:

Locations

System Lalande 38451 Planet B 2 a settelment Choo Military Site
System Yi Trica Planet A 9 a settelment Onai Command Garrison
System Baramanago Planet 11 e settelment Mani Command Installation
System HIP 9774 Planet A 3 e settelment Fahnbulleh Point
System HIP 19796 Planet B 9 b settelment Vyshnya Command Installation
System Baracians Planet C 10 e settelment Guerrero Defence Barracks
System Wailtsu Planet B 1 a settelment Jarvis Military Expedition

   The competition Run Charlie Run! will take place in the Savi system, on Planet A6, within the Casari Falls settlement. The gravity on this planet is 0.46 G. The planet is tidally locked to its sun, resulting in perpetual daylight within the settlement. The settlement has a High security level. The political regime will not influence this competition, and no combat is anticipated within the settlement. Other locations are available for this competition in case of any changes or requirements.

   During each weekend of the competitions, all participants will be transported to the designated system aboard the carrier [TWH-DN] Olimp (JNQ-GVV). The launch will occur from the home system of The Winged Hussars - HR 8444*. If seating becomes limited, we will have a second reserve carrier prepared for use.
   The planned launch will occur every Friday at 16:30. In case of different carrier launch times, information will be provided on Discord, specifically on the official Nano Olympics channel.
   *We kindly ask all guests to maintain respectful behavior in the system. Our Combat Wing is responsible for safety and order, and they treat any misconduct very seriously
