The giant TV's brightness is almost blinding, nothing like in the Districts, and yet everyone around you is staring at it in anticipation. Last year's victor taunts you, smirking with a perfect 12 glowing through the screen while a plastic-looking presenter says how the current scores may suffer in comparison.
You hope yours doesn't. But, at the same time, you hope the rest do.

Here it is! Your very first scores and the foundation of this year's Games. Now, I know your expectations will be set high and some of you may not be happy but remember that this is no walk in the park; the Capitol is impressed by no worse than the best (that was a mouthful).
This has been very difficult for me, deciding all of your scores. And I'm aware of the time that you've been waiting for this but I've just started prelims and have had no spare time. Plus, I wanted to go through everything thoroughly so I can give you the scores you deserve. I have judged you not only on your tribute's skills but on your writing skills, creativity, uniqueness, realism and on your character's reactions.
Ok, here it is! Good luck!

The tough teen fades away and is replaced with a group picture of you and your competition. People sit up, shuffling in their seats, waiting. You try to observe everything closely but you only really pay attention when you see your face and hear your name.
"... An impressive tribute with a score of..."

Names with a ~ in front of them are real people, names without one are fake. If you have an X by your name, this means I haven't received an entry from you. Please enter one as soon as you can; if you don't by the start of the Games, your score will be 1.
So, there we have it! As I mentioned already, these scores determine what items you can recieve at the Cornucopia so look back a chapter to find out what you can get.
The next thing needed is to sort out alliances between tributes. I will have this done soon and the next task will be up then.
