Fantasy Winter Olympics 2022 - Free to enter. Hard to win

[Shaggy365]

Greetings fellow FISO members (and also non members).

Following the success of the Fantasy Olympics competition, I'm running a Fantasy Winter Olympics competition.

Usual Shaggy-type rules. Pick 5 countries, don't over-spend the budget, points for medals. Entries by email or pm before the opening ceremony starts at noon (UK time) on 4th Feb.

Website is here.

Good luck everyone.

League table is here

I'll be there!

As in, I'll be entering the comp not "I'll be competing in the bobsleigh".

[Shaggy365]

Only 3 weeks to get entries in. I worked out all the numbers as soon as the proper Olympics had finished, but forgot to update my site.

2 entries received so far.

[morganb]

I'll also eventually be competing in Shaggy's fantasy bobsleigh team

[Grant]

Will also enter, posting as a reminder! Bobsleigh, not the comp…

[bluenosey]

I'll be in Shaggy, just need to study the "runners and riders"

[Shaggy365]

I'll be in ...

Do they make Bobsleighs that can seat more than 4 people? Can you convert a double decker bus by putting some skates on it?

[topspur]

I've got to try and double up but don't like the cold much

Just emailed my team Shaggy.

Posting my runners and riders to remind me.

Croatia - 112
Austria - 352
Great Britain - 146
Slovakia - 141
Switzerland - 330

Total = 1,081
Thanks.

[Shaggy365]

A steady trickle of entries, and we're in to double figures.

Only 1 invalid entry so far which has now been sorted.

[Arabian Knight]

I’m in too.

[kingcurtley]

Entered by email, thanks

[blahblah]

To remind me to...... fook up an entry in time to correct it

[Shaggy365]

FISO entries have just crept into double figures.

[wahine]

wahine's team is in including the New Zealand option - of course!

[Shaggy365]

Just 1 week to get those entries in while there's a break in the football.

Entry received. It's up to the rest of us to try and beat him (or for me to fiddle the league table )

You're an honorable man who has my complete trust.

Put new batteries in my calculator.

Nigeria entered a bobsleigh team didn't they, so perhaps we could enter one as the Peoples Republic of FISO - perhaps claim a rocky mound somewhere in the Pacific as a country ?

Malrom's from Switzerland so he should have pedigree in these things and would no doubt make a good driver. Ralfbergs may also be scandinavian based ? Then a couple of chunky FISOers in the back to add ballast ?

I would be happy to coach

You need a couple of failed sprinters who can no longer get to the summer Olympics to push the thing quickly out of the blocks then jump in, duck down and shit themselves til the bottom. I could do the last bit but not the first 10 seconds.

No good for me, I'd shit myself before I got in, probably do my back in ducking down like that....although I did make the final of the 100m back in the old school sports days.

[bluenosey]

Team picked - probably overspent - and PM sent.

[Shaggy365]

Amazingly enough, only had 1 invalid entry so far, and that was corrected quickly.

It's nice when people read the instructions, and even nicer when they give the country numbers.

(* Sigh *)

And before anyone points it out to me, yes I am aware that some events start before the opening ceremony, but knowing who wins in the first round of the curling isn't really going to affect the overall medal winners.
