I am flattered that you ask. My score keeping is decidedly low tech involving 3 high lighters and some white out. I list the players in rows and the countries selected from Groups A to D in columns.
I'll get the medal count each day from some Google site.
Right now I have only 11 players so it is not worth my time to computerize it - even if I were competent enough to do so.

Realjohnboy,

I'd be happy to forward you the spreadsheet that I inherited from fbaezer and used to keep score last year. It's pretty straightforward; all you'd have to do is enter new countries for each tier, and then enter the medals for each country as the Games progress.

Please do. Thank you.
Have I gotten your picks yet? I have also not heard from Pancho (Fbaezer).

@realjohnboy,
Ok, I'll wail about Fbaezer not posting yet. I call him Baez. He is among my most loved here, not to get mushy.

I figure he is busy, but really...we want to see his takes.
Not that I'll change my mind.

Realjohnboy,

PM me with your email address and I'll send the spreadsheet along.

I should have my picks to you in the next couple of days. I'm still scouting that Azerbaijan rifle team.

To all newcomers.
This is the Third Olympiad we play the A2K Fantasy Olympics Game.

The first games, in Athens, were won by Douglashuang (China), silver went to Markr (USA) and bronze to MyOwnUsername (Croatia).
The second games, in Beijing, were won by the defending champion TGordon92 (USA); second place came this year's organizer realjohnboy (Redneckland, USA), and -preventing a US sweep- Hingehead (Australia) came across with the bronze.
