How do people feel about maybe trying a prediction contest for the 2019 Island Games?

It's most likely going to take a lot of time for a few participants, although I don't think anyone will (or should) explicitly forbid you from organising it if you feel like it :p

I just think I would win since I’ve read all of their results books and kept up with their athletes and dramas :p

That might be a surefire way to win, as proven before. For example @dcro dominated the equestrian contest and @thiago_simoes reigned supreme in the gymnastics contest :whistle:

- Men's Handball IHF World Championship

- Alpine Skiing FIS World Championships

- Nordic Skiing FIS World Championships

- Biathlon FIS World Championships

- Men's Ice Hockey IIHF World Championship

- Women's Football FIFA World Cup

- There are few continental football championships. You can use this period of time to express your interest in any

- Fencing FIE World Championships

- Men's Basketball FIBA World Cup

- Men's Rugby WR World Cup

- Athletics IAAF World Championships

- Canoe Sprint ICF World Championships

- Archery WA World Championships

 

There is a room for addition of several others, so I will leave that for discussion.

I propose curling. There are enough matches to predict just the winners and not the scores.

 

And the KO stage could be done with bracket predictor similar to one we used in tennis (since usually there can be multiple KO stages within a day).

And on what should be in the calendar: all world championships anyone has time for to organise, and continental championships in team sports :p
