You could just name teams after actual rocks - Team Granite, Team Limestone, Team Feldspar etc etc.

Was looking at this new concept "Rock League", which is happening next week and am wondering if people know how they decided the teams   Mixing people from different countries looks fun. I would have liked though if they didn't name the teams based on regions, because when you see the rosters it doesn't make sense with couple of the names included. 

It's snowing here , cold days

I find it interesting how these events are all contested separately in the WC, vs the Olympics where the technical+free (e.g.) are together. Especially since here at this WC, I think just 2 teams competed in all 3 disciplines, and not sure about the women's duet.

ioc operates under Swiss law is it illegas in ? no so, it's as simple as it looks: no test? no professional sport (at least those sanctioned by ioc) end.   being an Olympian wasn't ordered by the doctor, if you don't like the ioc rules, just don't take part in ioc sanctioned sports/events
