When will taekwondo and wrestling draws take place? Why not make two separate prediction contests? 

 

It will be during the Games.

 

Wanderer will be offline till the end of this week. I guess he can decide whether seperate predictions can be made for wrestling and taekwondo, but for now we'll do it without draws.

So the prediction contests in taekwondo and wrestling become basically guessing. Do we know how the seeding (according to world ranking) will work?

There is seeding in taekwondo (top 8 according to WR), no seeding in wrestling. That's as far as I know.

Hi guys,
first of all thanks for the hard work you're doing for Rio2016: we have many predictions contests and everyone can find his favourite sport.

 

I'd have a little and very simple request that maybe other users can like: is it possible for the team event that the organizer posts his prediction right after the prediction design? I think this is a fairer way to handle the prediction contests because currently normal users can't see the others prediction whereas the organizer can and if he posts his predictions after the other users he can be influenced.

 

What do you think?

Maybe we can allow wrestling and taekwondo predictions to be changed till after the draw.

It doesn't really matter, I could still edit my prediction anytime I want without you all finding out if I tried to. You will just have to trust in us

 

Personally I only participate in contests in which my knowledge is good enough (mostly team sports) to predict by myself. I'm not interested in participating just to copy other people predictions (and I don't care about general standings, so I don't feel forced to do it).

Thank you very much,guys, for these prediction contests! I have no idea about swimming, cycling and have a little clue about Field hockey but I am gonna participate in all the contest! Jus for fune It is also pleasure for me to see prediction on wrestling, judo and boxing. I wish we can have a separate contest on at least judo or wrestling, but I understand that it is a hard work!

In wresling only the finalists of the last world championship in Las Vegas will be separated.

Don't forget that there are two more miscellaneous contests. Two are opened, one more to come.
