There will be 7 prediction contests. - Olympic Tokyo 2020 Athletics Prediction Contest - Olympic Tokyo 2020 Swimming Prediction Contest - Olympic Tokyo 2020 Team Sports Prediction Contest - Olympic Tokyo 2020 Miscellaneous 1 Prediction Contest - Olympic Tokyo 2020 Miscellaneous 2 Prediction Contest - Olympic Tokyo 2020 Miscellaneous 3 Prediction Contest - Olympic Tokyo 2020 Bet Contest (Will not count to the general standing) As many team sports begin earlier, this prediction contest will be opened in the weekend, 10-11 July. Also it's planned the Bet Contest will be opened quite early. Around the same as the Team Sports contest, maybe a little later. The Swimming prediction contest will be opened in the weekend, 10-11 or the 13-14 July. The three miscellaneous contests will be opened between 12-17 July. Athletics contest will open when the Olympics begins. I will add the contests to the calendar soon. heywoodu and hckošice 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a single contest for all team sports. It will be in the "picking-the-medallists"-format. I will be managing all contests, maybe with the exception of the Bet contest as I have heard from one user that could maybe be interested in managing this one. It would have been too much for me to have different team sport prediction contests. I did consider which format to be used for this contest. Either the "picking-the-medallists"-format or selecting a few matches each days from different team sports and keep it in the team sport prediction format. I chose the former as I had to be realistic with myself on how much of a workload I would put on myself during the Olympics where I also want to be able to watch and enjoy top-class sports. heywoodu and hckošice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both formats are terrible. I'd rather not have any contest for team sports if it's gonna be like that. But it's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provided you have time for them, otherwise drop it altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than a draw, just make a poll and let users pick one or two team sports. Just please no monstruosity like the 2012 "men's field hockey + women's football" contest, that was... not good. I prefer to have a single normal contest even if some sports will be left out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunadan 1,103 Posted July 1, 2021 #4158 Share Posted July 1, 2021 What about doing the "guess the team medallists" contest here and the "guess every game results" in a league on some external site which automatically calculates results and everything during the Olympics?
