Guys, last days to make suggestions.

 

So far we are ok in everything except Freestyle Skiing, for which only OlympicsFan has made suggestions (4 of them). We need more, can someone make some?

 

Also would be welcome if you want to make some more for Speed Skating (also short track).

 

@heywoodu so far you didn't suggest anything, not interested in doing so?

PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Bet Contest is now OPEN

 

Please, READ THE RULES carefully before posting. And keep track of the NUMBER OF POINTS you distributed at the end, this is very important. I will try to warn users that have excess of points few days before the deadline, but you will be disqualified if you're exceded by even 1 point (it's tough but there is no other option unfortunately, otherwise I wouldn't be able to keep the contest fair).

 

Also, if you detect any ambiguity or problems with the bets (or if you just need some clarification of the meaning), don't hesitate to tell me here. This contest is tough to make so it's always possible that I didn't notice some flaw in the bets. The sooner we see them the better, of course.

 

Good Luck!

Question 24 - Biathlon. I don't think it's clear for everyone.

24- There will be a Gold Medalist in the individual races with 1 or more misses on the shooting range. [YES/NO - X]

What do you mean by individual races?

A) The two Individual events (20km men's and 15km women's)

or B) all the individual races (Sprint + Pursuit + Individual + Mass Start)
