10 days to go and there's 5 FISO entries in a list of 23. A bit early to try and work out what sort of tactics have been adopted by the entries so far.

Maybe one for a quiet afternoon at work. :wink:

I've been assigned a room with Dot and Groomy 😕😕😕
You’ll have a room to yourself soon enough then. Just stay elsewhere for the first night and come back and see if there’s anything of the room left…

According to

Just noticed that some events are running on 21st July - Baseball/Softball and Football - before the opening ceremony! How does that affect this competition's deadline?

As in previous Olympics, there are some events where the preliminary matches start before the opening ceremony. However, since there are 339 sets of medals up for grabs, I doubt this will really have a major impact in the overall medal count for any country.

Gone past 50 entries. 16 FISO entries. Should hit 100+ entries in total (I'm guessing).

It seems that from the latest set of stories, that the entries picked with a pin will probably do better than any scientific approach.

5 days to go.

I take it we have to be in before the pre-opening ceremony team sport preliminaries kick off?

Shaggy365 wrote: 09 Jun 2021, 22:24 Also I've tweaked some of the values and given a larger budget so it's not impossible to pick a decent entry. Hopefully I haven't lost the knack of setting a hard target, rather than an impossible or ridiculously easy target.

Let's just say I managed to pick an entry of 6 countries I could point to on a map (or hit with a dart, as that's how I did my entry).
Larger than 1200 or was it lower before?

Olympics in space? That would be a first… maybe Branson and Musk could fund it. Might get a few world records.

You just have to be born on Planet Earth to set a world record, regardless of location… just as you can set a British record while competing in Japan :wink:

All the more reason to get an entry in. The more athletes that test positive and/or have to self-isolate, the more random the medals will be.
