@Cobi We could do the team competition like we do the draw. The score will be determined by the ranking of a nations, but how that ranking is determined will be randomized at the start of each round (by draw), as will the bonus point function. Basically, we have two draws before each session: one for the ranking method, and one for the bonus point method. Thoughts?

I think it would be a fun twist either way.

@Cobi if we’re doing the cards between rounds gimmick to spice things up, I think I would be fun to have a card where only the worst placed nation on each team counts for the scoring for that session (sort of a best loser scenario)

So it begins…

I really wanted to attend these as a journalist, but the accreditation deadline came before I could line anything up

Not really. We’d probably just see a disparity in access to drugs like we see with the disparity in technology in sports where that matters.

Those should be two electric games

So many good fan moments from this tournament.

giving them something to cheer for so far!

We already have a thread for this event @Sindo

My post was sarcasm

I’d let this slide with other users, but you have no excuse for this tomfoolery. This isn’t ten-pin bowling

I thought sports and politics weren’t supposed to mix

It would be cool if could get a continental quota, but that’s a quite a gap to

Pretty sure I spotted @Mkbw50 and @Dragon in the crowd…

@owenp_23 our final four is completely different. I’ve got: Baylor, Kentucky, Houston, Connecticut

one out away from injecting a little more chaos into this pool… And they do it!

Some ticketing information regarding the 100 Days To Go milestone: https://www.european-games.org/the-games/ticketing/

Olympic chiefs have urged the British government to respect the [revenue model and income of the IOC] might be the more apt title here… I do wonder about this particular IOC statement: “In accordance with this, Olympic sponsors are not involved in this decision-making process.” If you’re a TOP partner not wanting to be associated with RUS/BLR, might this make you question the partnership? It seems brash on the IOC’s part, but maybe they’re very confident in the strength of those relationships, or have already discussed this with sponsors.

It’s generally held that the sports is derived from rounders, hence @Dragon joke above.
