It's a new addition for the team event prediction contests this year. My plan is to have it for all the team event prediction contests in 2024 and then evaluate it by the end of this year. There will also be additional "bonus"-points called "Captain"-points for individual event prediction contests. This will be explained in more details when I post the prediction designs for the upcoming Biathlon WCH and Swimming WCH prediction contests during the upcoming week.
