The A2K Fantasy Olympics Beijing 2008

Thanks, fbaezer, for setting this up. Do you plan to devise a system for letting us all know periodically how everyone is doing? Watching any of it on tv would require me to get a tv.

Fb was great with updates on past threads like this..

Not only did he do updates, he figured at different points what would have been the best choices back at this stage.

Lot of work.

Will work on the spreadsheet tomorrow.

Douglashuang sent me a blueprint for one on 2004. Works great!

I'm looking forward to this - I always watch swimming (pretending I'm picking up technique points) - I think I'll add a few sports to my ssssscheduuule.

Hmm. Johnboy tucks that nugget under his hat for when the A2K NFL game returns for what I believe is it's 5th season. I hope, of course, that JPB will run it again this season, but if not...

ehBeth, I thought I had started a thread re dolphin kicking newly ok'd in various swimming races, but that seems to be a figment of my imagination.
No wonder no one responded.

OK, we have now 9 full teams registered:

fbaezer
jespah (Ring-o-leave-os)
ossobuco
Pantalones
McGentrix
wandeljw
MyOwnUsername
EhBeth (Caramel cups)
Imur (THIOS)

We have 3 teams lacking one nation:

Diane (needs a country from group B; USA Women is on group A)
hingehead (needs a country from group D; Kazhakstan is on group C)
realjohnboy (WIFF's) (needs a country from group D; South Africa is on group C).

And we have a team that only has group C nations:

cicerone imposter (We need 2 teams from group A and 2 teams from group B: you provided 5 of each, while none from group D)

OK, drop Suid Africa and add New Zealand. Throwing darts at this point.

Thanks to both FBaezer and Osso for their good eye.

Here is my revised list for the PDQ Geckos:

Group A: Australia, China Women

Group B: Hungary, Spain, USA Women

Group C: Austria, Canada, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Sweden

Group D: Iceland, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan, Venezuela

murmurs, think of the Dolphinkicking Dogpaddlers.

As I said, USA Women is NOT part of Group B.

Yo, dude. Are you not going to let the WIFF's play? I know from past posts that you are prejudiced against rednecks from the red clay hollows of Virginia. I will pray for you on Sunday morning if I am not too hung over from drinking moonshine on Saturday night.
My hound, I write ominously, is filing her teeth.
