Sign up this season is being conducted in this thread only. To sign up here, please provide in this thread a link to your history page, plus optionally details of which country / territory / random collection of particles you would like to represent for this game. As ever the Committee will not be entering any political debates as to suitability of any state / region (yes, even Guernsey). Spurious stories documenting your rationale for choosing your nation would be welcomed, but are not essential.
Entry closes at the GW2 FPL deadline, presumably 6:30pm on Friday 22nd August.
The full schedule for the decathlon is shown below and will begin as is traditional with the 100m with GW2. Scoring will be the same as last time except for the note in red below regarding GW scores. The full schedule has been set but is subject to amendment where games rely on pure GW scores in the event of non-standard 10 fixture weeks coinciding with them.
Athletes - prepare yourselves again for the ultimate test!
