In the stuff I'm writing there's the Sangrean Games; five pseudo-Olympic events that replicate military skills. I'd like to make sure I don't have any gaping holes in the system, though we don't yet have actual RPG level rules for running the events.
What problems need to be fixed in this basic layout? What seems missing?
Sangrean Games.
Junior, ages 12-13, Middler ages 14-15, Senior ages 16-17. Each age group competes against it's own age group but the teams only get the best "win" of each age group. A Junior placing 1st beats a Senior on the same team who placed 2nd, in the same event.
Each team must field five competitors for each event and the top three are used for deciding winners. Each team normally has six members, to include a team captain who can fill in if a team member is injured or ill.
