I think it may be something elimination based after each session: for example, in pairs going 17->13->10->8, in teams of 3 and 1 of 4 (worst result doesn't count) eliminating one team each going 11->10->9->8. 

 

Or it may be just totals from all of 4 sessions. For example, the basic one with just adding the scores or more interesting one with after each session gave points from 12 to 0 to best countries in each session. 

Probably the teams of 3 (and one team of 4) with elimination format is easiest to organise at short notice.

 

Should scores reset after every elimination? Or is it better to accumulate the scores throughout?

Also does anyone have any ideas for a team competition with 34 nations that would be quick and easy to organise?? Still not sure I can fit it in but open to suggestions on how we can get one in as convenient and easily as possible  

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?
