Every four years open tryouts would be held at gyms, school's, and community centres in participating countries.
Nobody knows what the event is until they arrive at the tryouts.
The event's could range from wiring a stereo to cleaning an oven to catching a grape in your mouth at a distance.
The winners in local events would then move on to regional and national competitions, and then to the Mundane Olympics.
