There are 12 districts in the country of Panem, every year one boy and one girl from each district from the ages of 12-18 are selected as tributes for an annual brutal and morbid televised competition where the 24 children battle it out to the death in an outdoor arena till there is one victor from 1 district. Every year there is a reaping ceremony where they're 2 glass bowls in each district with slips of paper holding the names of all the children ages 12-18 from that district one bowl for girls the other for boys, it depends on your age on how many slips of paper with one name go into the bowl, when your 18 one person has to have their name in the bowl for the minimum of 7 slips of paper. The district's representative pulls out two slips of paper one from the girl's bowl the other from the boys, the two people are that districts chosen people in the hunger games competition unless some one volunteers as tribute then that volunteers takes the place of their gender that was chosen.

When chosen they have to got to the capitol with no belongs except your token for the games, which is one item form your district to represent and remind you of home. Then each tribute has one week of preparing and mentoring for the games, the mentor of each district is a past victor from that district. When the games begin it starts with the bloodbath which what starts the excitement in the Games.

On average, roughly half of the tributes die during the bloodbath that takes place at the Cornucopia which holds supplies like weapons and food. During the bloodbath tributes take that moment either to try to gather supplies or simply eliminate the competition by killing them. But during the games you can become helpless that's when sponsors come in, the hunger games is a televised competition during mentoring the host of the tv competition Caesar interviews each tribute that moment can their make you or break you because that's how you get sponsors.

Wealthy views send items to help you advance because they want you to win, basically sponsoring you hence the name sponsor. When their is not enough bloodshed in the game its time for the feast when tributes can go to the cornucopia where there is an array of medicines and desirable food basically things you want but also need the feast usually end in another bloodbath so some tributes don't go, its it mandatory for tributes to go to the feast though. Also during the mentoring week the tributes go individually to get judged by the game makers and then rated 1-12, which helps put targets on peoples backs right before the games begin. Only 1 person can win so it doesn't matter if 2 people from the same district are the only people left they have to battle it out for victor. This year is the 71st Hunger Games and the reaping is slowly creeping up, may the best tribute win may the odds ever be in their favor!
