The 73rd Hunger games have finished, the victor declared and the train tour is finished. The reaping for the 74th Hunger Games will be soon!
If your between the ages of 12 and 18 your at risk. If you've taken out a Tesserae you will be entered more than normal.
Risking your life for another tribute is another option. Tributes from the lower Districts often never win.
Getting sponsors means the line between life and death. Certain things will happen in the arena that will scar the winner for life.
(This is set before Mockingjay, The Quarter Quells will not be the same, a regular reaping will occur.)

Background of Panem
It introduces sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world where a powerful government called the Capitol has risen up after several devastating disasters. In the book, the Hunger Games are an annual televised event where the Capitol chooses one boy and one girl from each district to a fight. The purpose of the Hunger Games is to show how no one, including children, is above the Capitol's power. The last person standing wins the game.
The Hunger Games takes place in an unidentified future time period after the destruction of North America, in a nation known as Panem. Panem is the nation that "rose out of the ashes" of what was previously North America. Panem consists of a wealthy Capitol and twelve poorer districts, with a thirteenth district destroyed in a past rebellion. It is stated that the Capitol is located somewhere in the "Rockies," probably referring to the Rocky Mountains of the western United States.[7] It is also stated that District 12 is located in the coal-rich region "Appalachia," referring to the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States.
