Some rules

-Each tipster will pick one event and points will be a simple 5-3-1 format. Depending on numbers, this may be increased to two events per player. I will review in the next few days.

- Tip three athletes in each event

Simples! smile

I think there were a couple of errors in my score (and also the kudos I received in the summary). I think I had Sweden rather than Canada winning in Women's football and should have only received 4 points (including the USA for bronze pick) rather than 6. That is partially offset by not getting credit for picking Myles Amine for bronze in wrestling (unless I'm being penalized for misspelling Myles). In net I should have 1 point less but still get the bronze.

Thanks for the shoutout, srini701.

Did they have to finish in the exact order we placed them in?

That is what I thought. You have missed some points for me but not enough to change the standings. smile
