The exception being the 75th Hunger Games , the Third Quarter Quell , in which the reaping of potential tributes was restricted to each district's pool of existing victors.
Each living victor from each district is given the task of mentoring the next tributes for the Games. Any living victor, mentor or not, is required to visit the Capitol to watch the Games, visit the residents , and make Capitol TV cameos, but the mentors come alongside their respective District tributes and to watch the Games live. Mentors are very important as they give advice to their tributes, assist in the forming of alliances, politic for their tributes, secure sponsors , and control the sending of any gifts into the arena.
A good clear minded mentor is imperative to the success of their tributes with very few exceptions. Each tribute is allowed one token from their district, to represent and remind them of home, however, they must not be able to be used as weapons.
They are very carefully examined and checked for any hidden advantages. In the 74th Hunger Games, Glimmer , the female tribute from District 1, had her token, a ring, confiscated because it carried a hidden poisoned spike. Katniss' token was a golden pin given to her by Madge Undersee in the book and by her sister Primrose Katniss actually bought the pin in the Seam from Greasy Sae and gave to Prim for good luck originally before the 74th Games reaping in the movie, showing a Mockingjay in both the 74th and 75th Hunger Games.
In the Launch Room , prior to the 74th Games, Cinna states that it could hardly get past the review board, and that it was almost confiscated because some people believed that it could be used as a weapon. It is mentioned that several years prior to the 74th Hunger Games, one girl's token was a small wooden ball which she dropped while on her starting plate, activating the mine underneath her feet killing her before the Games officially started.
Katniss states that "they literally had to scrape bits of her off the ground. Finnick Odair 's token for the 75th Hunger Games was a golden band from Haymitch, to signal Katniss to trust him in the arena. Peeta's token for the 75th Games was a golden trifold necklace with pictures of Prim, Katniss' mother , and Gale.
As tributes battle in the arena, quite often they can become helpless ex. Peeta Mellark with blood poisoning, Katniss' leg burn, etc. This is simply because of the Cornucopia bloodbath , since the tributes are fighting over the items they need to win the Hunger Games. Many of the tributes are left with limited or no items they wanted from the Cornucopia. Wealthy viewers or groups of people can pool their funds and send items into the arena should a tribute need something, such as food, shelter, weapons, or medicine.
In the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss received burn medicine and food - most notably a loaf of bread from District 11 that she assumes was intended for Rue before her death. Katniss is extremely touched by this unheard of gesture as never before has a tribute received a gift from another district. Most items are very limited and small but during the 65th Hunger Games , Finnick Odair received what as recalled to Katniss one of the most expensive sponsorship gifts she had ever seen, a trident.
The bloodbath is what starts the excitement in the Games. On average, roughly half of the tributes die at the initial battle that takes place at the Cornucopia, near the starting point of the games.
Spilling from the Cornucopia and strewn on the ground among the tributes are various items including weapons, food, water, and other supplies. Some tributes venture into the opening scramble for these valuable items, while others use it as part of their strategy for slaughter. Usually, the Career tributes are the ones who get most of these supplies. If the Gamemakers feel that there has not been enough bloodshed recently, they will invite all of the tributes to the Cornucopia for a feast.
Normally this feast features something desirable to the tributes, like food, armor, medicine, etc. Some still choose not to because these feasts usually result in a bloodbath.
Attendance is not mandatory, though the Gamemakers may try to tempt the tributes with something vital to their survival. Every twenty-five years, the president of Panem selects a card from a box made during the original establishment of the Hunger Games that makes a change in the rules of the reapings. For the first Quarter Quell, or the 25th Hunger Games , each district had to choose the children who went into the arena. For the second Quarter Quell, or the 50th Hunger Games , twice as many tributes had to be reaped to go into the arena It can be assumed that four children were reaped from each district that year; Two boys and two girls.
That was the year Haymitch Abernathy won. For the third Quarter Quell, or the 75th Hunger Games , the tributes were reaped from the pool of existing victors. Katniss Everdeen was despaired when she heard this because her status as the only living female victor from District 12 assured her return to the arena. The 1st Hunger Games was held shortly after the destruction of District 13 , when the First Rebellion was put down by the Capitol , signaling the start of the Dark Days.
The first twenty-four tributes were reaped from the surviving twelve districts. The victor of the 1st Hunger Games is unknown. The 10th Hunger Games was the first Hunger Games to introduce mentors for the tributes, recruiting twenty-four of the Capitol Academy's best and brightest seniors.
