Olympics Tipster Game

ecoli

Simple rules.

1. I will list the finals taking place the following day and the competitors (Will start Thursday when I post Fridays events)
2. You predict 1-2-3 in each final taking part next day.
3. You get a point for each correct prediction.
4. Person with most points at the end of the Olympics wins
5. If you miss a day you are still able to compete you will just not get points for the days you miss so can be at a slight disadvantage (maximum of 3 points each day)

Deadline for each day's will be start time of the athletics morning programme (looks to be 10am most mornings)

It's not the winning, it's the taking part.

I presume you have the right of appeal if you don't like someone's selections !

You get marks for courage though as there are reports that Cantwell struggled with an injury this morning (He failed to reach the auto qualification mark this morning)
