Olympic Games 2020 League

[El Greco 21 11]

I am thinking of creating a point system, to create a kind of a league counting all olympic sports results effecting in one table. My idea is this:

for every Olympic final teams will be awarded points as follows:
1st-25pts, 2nd-18pts, 3rd-15pts, 4th-8pts, 5th-5pts, 6th-3pts, 7th-2pts, 8th-1pt.

For sports that there is no official ranking for positions 5-8, teams that reached quarter finals will be awarded 5pts, as the 5th position takes.

In order to make it more "fair" I think to have a multiplier depending on each country's team size and population.

I will create an accumulate table containing both numbers and I will create one single ranking depending the positions of each country in those two categories. For example if country A is 5th in population but 10th in team size, that makes 15 in the final ranking. From that final ranking each teams points, in every final, will be multiplied as follows:

Teams ranked 1-20: x1
teams ranked 21-50:x2
teams ranked 51-100:x3
teams ranked 101-150: x4
teams ranked 150 and so: x5

Tell me what you think, and maybe someone has a better idea. Improvements needed, and maybe someone would like to help to the calculations. I never done it before, I believe I could make it!

Would be interested to know the results, especially since you are considering team size and population.

Attempts like these never are entirely "fair", but I will try to make them as much as possibble. I am planning to post results here at the end of each day during the games

For personal reasons, I would not probably be able to follow the action as extensively as needed, in order to keep up with the point system needed. If there is not anyone else who would like to try it, I would like to ask to the moderators (@Sindo) to hide and close the topic.

It was an idea that I had a long time in my mind, but the circumstances are not proper for me right now to do such thing

That's true, I always thought it as a day to day live league. But I guess you are right, I will have it in mind

Hello guys, I will do the live updated standings for @El Greco 21 as he can't do them himself. I'll post the format of how the updated standings will get to you here later but you won't have to wait long for it. Also, sorry if I seem a little shady, I am a slight Olympic fanatic like most of you all, but I only found out about this site a couple of weeks back and I am also not a big fan of just talking about sport and the Games, so when I found out about this fun idea and also that the guy who came up with it can't do live updates, I created this account a week ago and asked if I can do them for him, he allowed me and here I am (I don't really think I needes his permission, but I did ask for it just in case). Hopefully this can make me more positively known on this site

5x:

 

Other NOCs

 

 

Also also, I want to propose a change in the points system (pick one of these two Greco to either replace yours as the universal points or let me utilize one of them in race disciplines while yours will stay as the knockout tournament points system or none or both):

 

1st:

 

1st earns 25 points,

2nd earns 18,

3rd earns 12,

4th earns 9,

5th earns 6,

6th earns 4,

7th earns 2,

8th earns 1

 

2nd:

 

1st earns 25 points, 

2nd earns 18,

3rd earns 12,

4th earns 6,

5th earns 4,

6th earns 3,

7th earns 2,

8th earns 1

 

They give a bigger reward for getting into the final of a knockout tournament or 2nd over 3rd in a race discipline.

 

Anyways, see you tomorrow, or today, if questions, critiques or recommendations arise!

Good work, this is how in a way I had it on my mind. Bravo for the whole work. I am really excited to see how this will be unfolded.

All sports, each position matters!!!

I like the proposals you make about the pointing system, it is a good idea!
