How are we supposed to know the qualification systems? TOCOG haven't released them yet.

They will release them in the next months. Anyway, Olympic Qualifications do not start more than 2 years before the Olympic Games, so we have time There will be some "pre-qualification" events anyway. For example, we should be 99% sure that Handball European Championship 2020 will be an Olympic Qualification Event, and the qualifications will start in November Same for FIBA World Cup 2019, UEFA U21 2019 European Championship and so on.

An idea is, for the 28 events in Rio 2016 i.e. all of them except the five added for Tokyo, we make a list (the Provisional List) of the events four years on. So if the 2013 European Championship was an 2016 qualification event, then collect results for 2017 European Campionship.

 

Then, let's say the list looks like this

 

2017 Oceanian Archery Championship

2017 Football South American qualification

2017 Handball Asian Championship qualification - play-off round

2017 Asian Archery Championship

 

Then the Archery qualification is released. That means all Archery events are moved from the Provisional List to the Official List which will contain all confirmed events

We will try not to follow only Olympic Qualification events, anyway. In our "golden era" we were following all world championships, continental championships, world cup, junior/youth events. So the events you have listed would be followed even if they are not Olympic qualification events.

Of course, personally I am looking forward to the Dublin VS Kerry semifinal on Sunday.

 

It's along time till Gaelic games (1904 demonstration sport) get anywhere near the Olympics though

I think this is the best thing because people who wants to discuss can do it without comments being interrupted by very long results/medal count posts, people who want results will be able to use Totallympics as a source again as it happened before, and people who want to do both things will be able to do both things 

Perfect!

Hi everyone,

this is to announce the results portal of Totallympics has been launched and you can find it here:

 

http://results.totallympics.com

Some users are working on it since a couple of months, and we have now opened the following threads:

•         All Rio 2016 Olympic Games threads with complete results (including Paralympic Games results)

•         All Winter Sports 2016 – 2017 World Cup Threads

•         Most of the 2016 – 2017 summer sports european club championships

Users who want to contribute can start to register on the forum, even if we still have to decide and work on many things, for example how to “link” the 2 different websites one to each other.

 

Please use the same Username you have here when you register. Also before to open or start working on threads, contact me or another admin.

 

IMPORTANT: do not register if you do not want to contribute, because there will be no discussion on the results website. All “discussion posts” will be deleted.

Hello everyone, 2017 is going to start soon and it's now time to open the new 2017 Discussion Threads for each of the Summer Olympic Sports.

 

I ask the users, everyone who wants to do that, to open the threads in the next 3 days, so that the threads will be opened by different users.

 

You can choose one or more sports (let's say no more than 3 per users in the first 24 hours), go in the section, check the 2017 Discussion Thread has not been already opened and open the new thread, with the title SPORT 2017 Discussion Thread, where instead of "SPORT" you obviously write the name of that sport .

 

The first will be empty (don't put any comments there), choose the logo of the sport from this post , where vinipereira has uploaded all the logos, copy and paste it in your thread.

 

The most discussed sport events will then have a separate thread but we will see during the year how to deal with that.

 

I have already splitted all the winter sports discussion threads into 2015 - 2016 and 2016 - 2017 Discussion Threads.

 

Happy 2017 everyone!
