75% of Februaries are cruel and horrible. It’s cold and dark. Plus the Super Bowl leaves in its wake a void. A sports void that can’t possibly be filled by Villanova playing Syracuse
Fortunately, this is one of the other 25% Februaries!
Welcome to the 5th biannual Olympics challenge. For you regulars out there, the format is the same as usual. Countries of the world are separated into 5 groups. Pick one country from each group. Points are awarded for medals (5, 3, 1) with double points for 6 culturally important “heritage” events: hockey (m), downhill (w), 50 km cross country ski (m), speedskating 500m (w), bobsled 4 man (m), and figure skating (w). You also must pick any 1 event where you receive 10 bonus points if one of your countries secures gold in that event. Oh, and don’t forget the tiebreakers.
Entry is $5 payable to your local Poolmaster representative (if you don’t know who that is, just ask me.) Feel free to enter early and often! Go ahead and forward this Challenge on to any friends or enemies.
More details are listed on the attached entry form, including historical medal tables.
As usual, updates to the Olympics and this pool will be on my blog: www.poolmasterblog.blogspot.com
Good luck!
Poolmaster
