Congratulations @mrv86! Hope Mexico defeats whoever they play in Pool D in the quarterfinals.

 

No complaints about the Canadian team from me. They exceeded my expectations 

Well thank you for your words.

 

However I don’t root for Mexico, mostly because they are the only sport that gets government resources, while every other deserving athlete in my country must give two thirds of their “scholarship” to the lesbian lover of former Olympian Ana Guevara.

 

And all because of the tirannical rule of the new mascot of Latin American “left”

Teams relegated to WBC 2026 Qualifiers: :CHN:TPE:COL:NCA

 

If qualifying groups stay the same then, based off of world ranking, the tournaments could look something like this.

 

Group A (Europe/Africa)

:AUT:BEL:FRA:GER:RSA:ESP

 

Group B (America/Asia)

:ARG:BRA:CHN:TPE:COL:NCA

 

Teams that I would like to see get a chance: :UGA:PLW:GUM:PHI:PAK

Only 2 qualify, right ? This is going to be a bloodfest, :COL vs :NCA game for the 2nd spot will be a nail biting thriller for sure

Considering the amount of players with a Nigerian background in the NBA and NFL, how much potential could a :NGR baseball team have in the future?

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • 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.
    • 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?
    • 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.
