Got 11 so far.

Wait until there is only few days (1-3) before the olympics start and then do the draw.

Also the host country Brazil should be in the draw.

here for it

oh at me being ignored

can I have Russia

:fc:

Yeah good idea :)

Mess

Sorry, added you now :love:

Not really sure how this is meant to work since the only two countries with a chance of winning are USA and China but yeah ok I'm in

This is a fair point tbh :joker:

North Korea are coming for that shock win :clap1:

Welp I didn't think of this :shame:

I guess it will be exciting to see the top 3-20.

Me please!

Of course Shaun and Pete :love:

Half of the participants to be drawn to US and the other half to China then?

Yeah that could be a possibility.

They winner wouldn´t necessarily need to be the the one who wins the medal table. It could be the one who is at the top of the points table (athletes that place 1st to 8th get points and they get added to a nations rankings points table).

Or there could be more than one winner.

BUMP

What if we had teams,

So the first team is US, UK and China, and one person get's a country. (it would be the smallest team)

And then then:

4-7
8-11
12-15
16-19
20-22

So there would be a winner from each team, I'd take the top 20 ish countries from the London 2012 medal table.

It would make it more fair.

Taken from the London 2012 medal table:

So team 2 would be:

Russia
South Korea
Germany
France

Team 3 would be:

Italy
Hungary
Australia
Japan

Team 4 would be:

Kazakhstan
Netherlands
Ukraine
New Zealand

Team 5 would be:

Cuba
Iran
Jamaica
Czech Republic

Team 6 would be:

North Korea
Spain
Brazil
South Africa

Each person gets a country from a team, and the country in the team with the most medals wins in that team.

So there would be 6 winners.

So to make it clear:

There are 6 teams which contain the top 23 countries from the London 2012 medal table with team 1 containing the top 3 countries from 2012, there will be around 4 countries in each team part from team 1.

Each player is awarded a country.

The country with the most medals at the end Rio 2016 in each team will be crowned the winner in that particular team.

There will be a total of 6 winners.

If no one else joins then we will have 4 teams.

yup

Of course

Yeah that sounds ok to me
