Btw, during next few weeks, we can start discussion on scoring systems and any general idea you have concerning prediction contests for 2019. The more of you join to discussion, the better.

 

In the meantime, proposed Calendar for 2019 is:

 

- Men's Handball IHF World Championship

- Alpine Skiing FIS World Championships

- Nordic Skiing FIS World Championships

- Biathlon IBU 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. 

Artistic gymnastics, please! Even though I usually do pretty bad, it's the most fun I ever have in prediction contests. Also, for the first time ever we will have a junior artistic gymnastics world championships next year, so if you have some space left for even more gymnastics, it would be great.

Rhythmic gymnastics would be nice as well, but I see there are not many people who would be interested. There will be a junior worlds in rhythmic gymnastics, for those who care.

Ah, talking about tennis: tennis.

 

I think we gave up on tennis contests completely.

Because nobody wanted to organise it anymore? (which would be the only valid reason of course)

Yes, and we are talking about an organizer/tennis-fan here...

Well yeah if nobody wants to organise it, that's simple: no tennis  

 

If someone does, I'm sure they're free to do so since it's all for fun only.

What I meant was that even a tennis fan is no longer interested in holding those, so with that in mind, any tennis contest looks quite unlikely in the near future.

Since there is canoe sprint, I guess it would be fair to have canoe slalom too.
