Winning!Note that for each individual event, your wolf's outcome does not hold any bearing on their final score. Achieve the goals set or don't, come 1st place in the pageant or last, it doesn't make any difference on your
OP, nor your final Olympic scoring. This is to make the event more fun - so, it's okay for your wolf to flop on their face, and they still have just as much a chance to win as the wolf who aced every individual event without breaking a sweat.
When all the events are over, the entire competition is scored twice: once for each member, and once for each pack that participated. For the pack-based scoring, an additional 1 point will be awarded to the pack for each member who posted in each event (That is, if 'blue pack' had a member who posted in all the events, and a second member who only posted in one event, they get 4+1=5 extra points to their team).

There is no end to how cold it is getting, and there is only more winter to come! With the cold season comes extremes of ice and snow that can be painfully sharp on the paws in the north, even for the thickest pelts. Snow has been spotted in even the southern region's woodland cliffs and marshes.
