Red Spotted Hanky (.com) Olympics
For those that played the Euros (and did quite well as a FISO league), this looks a nice little game for the Olympics.

Simply predict which country will win selected events for the duration, although I imagine a lot of people will be picking the same countries.

Just added myself.
Unfortunately whilst I told others, I forgot to set myself up. Never mind, it's only a game.

Re: Red Spotted Hanky (.com) Olympics
Scoring system for this sucks, you may as well select your gold medal country to finish 2nd and 3rd as well. 20 points if they medal, 25 if two from the same country make the top 3. Out of principal i am not exploiting the daft rules but recommend it all the same.

I misunderstood and thought he meant some sort of bonus points.

Looks like the equal 2nd in the Men's 200m Freestyle has caused a scenario the system can't cope with. 0 points for anyone predicting China (in any medal position).

Re: Red Spotted Hanky (.com) Olympics
That's true. Ashers is up there though as you say they haven't added China. You'd think they both get silver with no bronze though looks like that needs reprogramming in.

Re: Red Spotted Hanky (.com) Olympics
I don't think we should anymore to the league as the average is based over all entrants.
We are currently in sixth but all the leagues above us bar 1 have 5 entrants.
Does anyone have any objections?

Re: Red Spotted Hanky (.com) Olympics
Shame Missy Franklin came 4th in swimming.
Does anyone know how the tennis works tomorrow?
How can you predict medals when they are only in the 3rd round?

There's a bronze medal match so you just choose from those starting the 3rd round games.

Medals are not until 4th August.
Or are we picking these in advance?
Wonder if they have got confused with table tennis?

No it's the 3rd round tomorrow.I was just confirming there was a bronze medal match rather than just giving 3rd and 4th a bronze each.It's the same day as the final on the 5th with the women's one one day behind that.Ashers wrote:Bronze medal tomorrow?bloggie wrote:There's a bronze medal match so you just choose from those starting the 3rd round games.

Re: Red Spotted Hanky (.com) Olympics
Just made my predictions for the tennis. The men's is quite easy (since I've heard of the 2 favourites), and the women's have a few countries with at 3 entrants still left in.
Any ideas about the cycling?
