Forum Team Olympics Competition
As a bit of fun and friendly competition, I’m promoting an Olympic competition to be fought out between the forum teams. All existing teams welcome and positively encouraged to take part, anyone wishing to form new teams…… the more the merrier.
The basic concept will be that every day during the 2012 London Olympics where medals are awarded, there will be a single Sky Poker tournament to represent one of these events where Gold Silver and Bronze medals will be awarded to the highest finishing team representatives in each event.
It will be down to the individual teams to nominate their own representatives for each individual event via this forum thread only entries posted before the start of each event will be included. If a single representative from each team can take responsibility for organising and co-ordinating this within their own team it would be a massive help to me. The first Olympic medal will be awarded on Saturday 28th July with the last being awarded on Sunday 12th August. So in total the competition will be run over 16 days with 48 medals to be won.
In most cases I have tried to stick with events occurring on the same day in the real London 2012 Olympics, but have used artistic licence on 2 of the days to accommodate the Monday night DTD on 7th August. The events that will be included in the competition are:

12th – Athletics and final event, Marathon

At the end of all this we will have 48 medal awarded and one team victorious at the top of the tables. Rankings will be calculated as follows, Gold medal = 6 points, Silver medal =3 points, Bronze medal = 1 point.
I'm happy to take multiple team enteries from the bigger teams ie. Team 51 / HitSquad (A & B teams for example). Likewise happy for individuals to play in multiple events for the smaller teams.
Ther is no requirement to play in all events, as long as you post in this thread you will be eligible for medals.
***PLEASE NOTE DUE TO LEGAL ISSUES AROUND THE USE OF THE WORD OLYMPIC THERE ARE NO PRIZES AVAILABLE, SO ARE WE HAPPY TO PLAY AS A BIT OF FUN?***
