Rules

Erase "Yes" or "No", depending on what your answer for each single bet will be. If you want to answer a bet with "Yes", all you have to do is erasing the word "No", leaving only "Yes" as your answer.

Each contestant has a fixed amount of points for his or her distribution. Each constestant will have 10x12, 10x11, 10x10, 10x9, 10x8, 10x7, 10x6, 10x5, 10x4, 10x3, 10x2 and 10x1 to distribute over for the 120 questions.
Overwrite the "X" with a number between 1 and 12. Those will be the points you distribute for a specific bet. If you win a bet, you will win the amount of points you gave for that bet.
You can't leave out a bet. All bets must be given minimum 1 point. 12 points per bet are the maximum. Choose wisely how you will distribute your points.

Example

1 - Pacific Island nations in Oceania (including New Zealand, not Australia) will win more medals than Caribbean nations. - NO - 4.

- If you chose “No”, you will have won the bet and get the points for that question - 4 points won.

- If you chose "Yes", you will have lost the bet - 0 points.

The user with the highest amount of points at the end of the contest (after the end of the Games) will be declared the winner. Should there be more than one user with the same amount of points, the tie-breaker will be the amount of bets won, then the highest scores won in those same bets.

If a bet is already decided before the start of the Games (due to injury of an athlete mentioned in it, doping, etc) that bet will be eliminated from the contest. Every contestestant can re-distribute the points they invested in said bet. If an user is unable to edit his or her post before the start of the competition, then those points will be lost for the final count.

Please, take into account when placing your bets that for all of those questions that ask for the position of a nation in the medal table, we are using, unless specifically said otherwise, the criteria of Gold Medals first, then Silver medals, then bronze medals.

You can enter the contest whenever you want. However all bets have to be done before the deadline, July 24th, h. 15:00 (GMT +2).

There are no Points to earn concerning General Standings at this Prediction Contest.
