One more thing: There are two categories you guys can make suggestions for. First, there is the "Sporting Rivalries and Medals" category, which covers general aspects of the Games and/or rivalries between specific countries. Second, there are the Individual sports categories, which are bets about each sport in particular.

This is an idea I had in mind lately about the upcoming Olympic Games in Rio 2016. Everybody who’s interested in taking part, be welcome. This contest is just for fun, thus unofficial, so there are no Points to earn concerning the Prediction Contests General Standings.

This idea was permitted by Sindo.

 

The Olympic Bet Contest was already held 4 years ago for the London Olympics. It consisted of a series of questions asked to the users about the Games which they had to answer for Yes or No while placing a "bet" of a certain number of points in each answer at the same time.

 

These are some examples:

1. At least 90 different NOC's will win at least one medal in London 2012. [YES/NO - X]

15. Slovakia will be placed above the Czech Republic in the Overall Medal Table. [YES/NO - X]

 

or for specific sports:

 

Aquatics - Water Polo (1)

37. All three participating ex-Yugoslav Teams (CRO, MNE, SER) will reach the Semifinals. [YES/NO - X]

 

 

My intention is to recreate this contest for the upcoming Games, so I'll need your help. This thread will be used for you people to make suggestions for possible questions to be featured in the contest. You can see here the questions (and the overall format) that were used for the 2012 contest, so you can get an idea of what are we looking for.

 

This time however, due to the addition of two new sports, the contest will be expanded to 120 questions and 400 points for each user to distribute among them. The Selection Committee, composed of me and Quasit, will then pick by the end of June/early July the best 120 suggestions which will be used for the contest. Please, I'd also like to ask you to not make more than -let's say- 25 suggestions per user. 

 

We count with your help!

 

Cheers, LDOG.

Rules

For this Prediction Contest you are predicting goal difference for each match. Every match ends with a winner (there are no ties, draws).

To do that, you have to write in empty Cell a number - goal difference for particular match. If your prediction is that Team 1 is going to win, you should type goal difference in appropriate Cell of T1 Column. If your prediction is that Team 2 is going to win, then type goal difference in appropriate Cell of T2 Column.

 

Example

Group A

Date and Venue Team 1 T1 T2 Team 2
May 6th 2016, h. 16:15, VTB Ice Palace, Moscow Sweden :SWE 3   :LAT Latvia
May 6th 2016, h. 20:15, VTB Ice Palace, Moscow Czech Republic :CZE   1 :RUS Russia

 

Scoring system: Basic number of points is 5

If you predict right winner for a match, you will get 5 points regardless of the goal difference.

If your prediction is perfect (correct winner + correct goal difference) you will earn 5+5=10 points.

Depending on difference between your prediction and actual result, earned points will differ.

 

Example

Group A

Date and Venue Team 1 T1 T2 Team 2
May 6th 2016, h. 16:15, VTB Ice Palace, Moscow Sweden :SWE 3   :LAT Latvia

 

If Sweden wins by 9, you will earn 5 points [5 pts for correct winner + 0 pt for goal difference: (5-|9-3|) - no negative points]

If Sweden wins by 3, you will earn 10 points [5 pts for correct winner + 5 pts for goal difference: (5-|3-3|)]

If Sweden wins by 1, you will earn 8 points [5 pts for correct winner + 3 pts for goal difference: (5-|1-3|)]

If Latvia wins by 1, you will earn 1 point [0 pts for correct winner + 1 pt for goal difference: (5-|-1-3|)]

If Latvia wins by 3 or more, you will earn 0 points [0 pts for correct winner + 0 pts for goal difference: (5-|-3-3|)]

 

In the Knockout Round, points will be multiplied by:

  • In the Quarterfinals, points will be multiplied by 1.25
  • In the Semifinals, points will be multiplied by 1.5
  • In the Medal Matches, points will be multiplied by 2

 

TB Rules

If two or more contestants have the same number of points at the end, Tie-Break rule will be applied to break the tie.

Number or perfect predictions throughout the contest will be compared for the involved contestants. If they are still tied, number of second best scores will be compared, then number of third best results and so on.

 

Example

Contestant 1: 10, 10, 10, 9, 9, 8, 7

Contestant 2: 10, 10, 10, 9, 8, 8, 8

Contestant 1 will be placed ahead of Contestant 2.
