To do that, go on "edit" in the first post of the thread, then select "Poll" and you can add the questions (and possible choices) there The only problem with doing this is that there are 300 some events to get people’s predictions on. I don’t want to clog up this thread with 300+ polls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want to clog up this thread with 300+ polls. With 1 day per week it would be 16 weeks, so it would be around 4 months. I don't know how you guys want to organize this, I'm just saying. A poll here would surely attract more users than a google form, though. bmo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumo 2,796 Posted May 4, 2020 #273 Share Posted May 4, 2020 The difficult part of having a poll where users choose gold, silver and bronze medallists (complete podium) is that the poll would have to have around 8-10 athletes/teams/nations for the gold medal then 8-10 for silver and 8-10 fro bronze. Of course some of the athletes/teams/nations would be the an option for every medal. I see some would like to have a projected medal table for Tokyo 2020. If that is the case then every event poll would have to have three "questions" each. So question number 1 would be, "Pick your gold medallist for X-event". Question number 2 would be "Pick your silver medallist for X-event" and bronze likewise. For athletics we would have a big ass amount of polls, questions and medal candidates. I think It would actually just be eaiser to create prediction templates for every event like in the prediction contest and then users can just show their predictions. A thread with prediction templates for Olympic events could be created in each Olympic sports thread. Users could then choose their medallists for each event. Of course people could just write their predictions here or in a separate thread in the different Olympics sports thread. Also, a suggestion to @rafalgorka. Instead of giving 3, 2 and 1 point for gold, silver and bronze, the athlete/team/nation which gets most 1st places will be projected to win gold. The athlete/team/nation with most 2nd places gets silver and bronze likewise. An example of what I mean: For archery mixed team it would look like this: KOR 3rg 3fl 3gi 3be 3wu NED 2rg ITA 1rg 1gg 2gi TPE 2fl 2wu JPN 1fl 1be CHN 1gi 2be 1wu Gold - Silver - Bronze - or In case two or more athletes/teams/nations have an equal amount of 1st or 2nd or 3rd places, the amount of top 3 places will be the tie-breaker. Example: Japan has two 3rd places. China and Italy both have two 3rd places and one 2nd place. Therefore China and Italy beat Japan in a tiebreaker. I don't know how to solve the tie-breaker between China and Italy as both team have the exact same amount of places? Maybe someone has a suggestion for such a case. rafalgorka and Sindo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmo 180 Posted May 4, 2020 #275 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I just finished making the day 1 predictions polls. Here is the link: https://forms.gle/qkXXbGggMHDDsHvT8 Let me know if you like this or want to stick with @rafalgorka points system. @Fly_like_a_don @Wumo @Gianlu33 rafalgorka and Fly_like_a_don 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,199 Posted May 5, 2020 #276 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I suggest leaving this thread as it is and letting everyone who wishes to participate here post whatever they want. Making any sort of contest, poll or something would "spoil" a part of the fun of the prediction contests next year. In particular those contests where you have to predict only medalists. rafalgorka and bmo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafalgorka 1,386 Posted May 5, 2020 Author #277 Share Posted May 5, 2020 This week I start working almost as normal again, so I will have less time to continue this thread. Thank you all for nice conversation. Bmo have done good job to organize these polls. But I think LDOG suggestion is good, too. We will see how it goes. I will try to come back here in weekend. Stay healthy! bmo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumo 2,796 Posted May 5, 2020 #278 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I do agree with LDOG that those who want to make some early predictions can do it in this thread or in @bmo's prediciton poll. Next year we are hopefully going to have the Olympics and me and my prediction contest group will prepare a good amount of prediction contests to participate in for you all. Also let me know if anyone is interested in hosting some of the prediction contests, as me, Vojthas and Wanderer would like to actually have some time to watch some events from the Olympics live. We will probably present the different prediction contests (format and so on) around May or early June next year, or when it's confirmed that the Olympics will get the green light to go ahead.

Apparently the problem is now everyone is going to be damn busy as things are returning to normalcy .Even colleges and schools are opening so after few days we may have very less replies .... Maybe we can all take break from this prediction and return like next year beginning or the spring season or as and when you wish. bmo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly_like_a_don 936 Posted May 5, 2020 #280 Share Posted May 5, 2020 @Sindo Is it possible to have voting with options here itself.. Such that users can multivote but only 3 such that 1st vote is gold, 2nd silver, 3rd click bronze.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
