Example

Event & Date	Athletes	Gold	Silver	Bronze
Men's K-1 500m Day 1 August 25 2023	Agustin Vernice
	Jean van der Westhuyzen
	Zhang Dong	x
	Josef Dostal		x
	Any Danish Athlete
	Any German Athlete
	Thomas Lusty			x
	Balint Kopasz
	Mauro Crenna
	Any Polish Athlete
	Fernando Pimenta
	Any Spanish Athlete
	Dennis Kernen
	Any Other Athlete

Points will be awarded as follows:

- For right predicted Gold Medal Winner - 4 points.
- For right predicted Silver Medal Winner - 3 points.
- For right predicted Bronze Medal Winner - 2 points.
- For right predicted Athlete/Nation but wrong place/medal - 1 point.
- Bonus points: 1 bonus point will be awarded to predictor who predicted all medalists correctly, regardless of the order (1-2-3, 1-3-2, 2-1-3, 2-3-1, 3-2-1, 3-1-2).

If you (by mistake or on purpose) picked two or more Athletes/Nations for the same place in one event, and if the total number of picked Athletes (options) for that event isn't over three, you'll get exactly 1 Point for each of them NO MATTER WHICH POSITION (and one bonus Point if you predicted all top 3 Athletes/Nations). If the total number of picked Athletes/Nations in one event is over three, you'll not get any Points for Athletes/Nations picked for the same position.

The first physical medal presentation is binding. If, for some reason no medals are presented for an event during the Games, this event will be eliminated in this contest.

TB Rules

If two or more contestants have the same number of points at the end, Tie-Break rule will be applied to break the tie.

Number or perfect predictions throughout the contest will be compared for the involved contestants. If they are still tied, number of correct Gold Medal Winners will be compared, then number of Silver Medal Winners and at the end number of Bronze Medal Winners.

Example

Contestant 1: 6x10, 12x4, 10x3, 7x2

Contestant 2: 6x10, 12x4, 8x3, 8x2

Contestant 1 will be placed ahead of Contestant 2.

Contestant with most points wins the competition.

The Ranking is determined by the Sum of Points the Contestant scores in all predicted Events.

You can enter the Contest whenever you want. The moment you post your predictions is the moment when you are entering the Contest and your points will be calculated for all the Events you predicted AND which haven't started.

In order to earn points from the start, you should post your predictions before the start of the first Event of the Canoe Sprint ICF World Championships - August 23rd, h. 09:00 (GMT +2). The Prediction Design for the Canoe Slalom ICF World Championships will be posted when the championships come closer.

You can EDIT your predictions whenever you want until the start of the first event of the Prediction Contest. Once competition starts, you are not allowed to edit your post and any further changes will be ignored. On contestant's request, edited predictions will be accepted, but contestant will earn 0 points for finished events and the events that have started (heats included). Moment at the latest editing will be considered as the entry moment, in other words.

If you want to comment on this Prediction Contest, please use Prediction Contests - Discussion Thread only.

If you have problem with the format, you can post your predictions in simplified format. Make sure your predictions are understandable. For instance, 1 - Z. Dong, 2 - J. Dostal, 3 - T. Lusty, means Zhang Dong wins gold medal, Josef Dostal silver and Thomas Lusty bronze.

Every contestant can hide their own predictions. To do that, you have only to delete the space between the bracket "[" and the text "hide" in "[ hide]" at the beginning of prediction post. Do the same with "[ /hide]" at the end of prediction post too. The hidden content will appear to other users as follows:
