I've been looking online for an existing fantasy game around the Olympics but there doesn't seem to be one. My idea for creating one is to choose a list of events (maybe 10 or 15) and have people choose 2 or 3 countries for each event. Then have a set score for gold, silver, and bronze medals (I'm thinking 3 pts. for gold, 2 for silver, and 1 for bronze). The winner would be the person who accumulates the most points at the end. I would be happy to do this if there is interest. Gas, as our resident fantasy league expert, would my idea work?

Yes it would work but I think you might have to make your own game as I have never seen an olympic fantasy league site. But I think it would be more challenging to pick a player or players and not a Country. It would be more like a pickem game.

I like your idea Gas but with the Olympics less than a month away and me not knowing the first thing about creating a game, it might be too advanced. I'm going to kick it around for a week and see what I come up with. Thanks for the suggestion!

I wonder if we could also come up with some type of NoBS Olympics....along the lines of the March Madness Checker Tourney Decoy created on VMK. Hmm :hmmmm:...anyone have any ideas on some competitions?
