But NBA is so much bigger than all other national leagues. Why not have one for the NBA (which in general is the main/biggest/best competition), and one for the other national leagues? Just like in football the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and possibly Ligue 1 deserve an own thread and the rest can all be thrown together. 

 

We have a 'subforum' for every Olympic sport, use it. It's ok to have a good number of threads in a 'subforum', that's the whole point of this kind of subforums. A basketball subforum which is filled with all kinds of basketball threads, a road cycling subforum which is filled with all kinds of road cycling threads, etc. Having a subforum about one sport filled with 15 threads (national league, some fun thread someone comes up with etc) really makes more sense than an entire subforum with one 'discussion thread' and one 'all national leagues' thread or something. 

 

If new user A wants to talk about biathlon, he'll go to the biathlon subforum. It's easy, and having 10 threads in a biathlon subforum does not make that harder. The strict thing should be that threads about sport A should be in subforum of sport A (obviously, so there's no water polo thread in the cycling subforum), but inside of the subforums, it really should be less strict. 

 

 

I agree with you about that, but I think it should be the other way around: when there is enough interest for a thread, that thread will have the "rights" to be stand alone thread. And this is what we are already doing in other threads. For example, there were some posts about FIFA U17 World Cup, and those posts have been splitted from the discussion thread to become a separated thread.

 

Of course in a perfect world there would be enough interest and posts about every single event any user open the thread for. And if Lesotho national league will ever become so interesting for users that there will be hundreds of posts about that, of course we would have that thread separated from the discussion thread. But it is normal than in an Olympic Sports forum the club sports gain less interest, so we have to find some general and objective rules to follow all around the forum, because of course NBA will gain more interest than Lesotho national league, but there could be many examples of events/leagues which would gain lots of interest in my eyes and zero interest in your eyes and the other way around.

PS: I have splitted also threads for MLB and NHL so we can have a different thread for each of the top american sports leagues.

 

Now only NFL is missing, if you want to open it ;)

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.

      Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2025

      If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups.

      If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great

      Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.

      Just another reason why it's super dumb that the NOC max in freestyle skiing isn't 40.
