2024/2025 Decathlon: Event Summary: Olympics

Status: Completed

RULES: OLYMPICS

Q 1-2: Team Sports (Men and Women)
In each section, pick 3 events. If the US team medals in an event you select, you will earn points as follows:
Gold: 30
Silver: 15
Bronze: 10

Yes, basketball is missing from both lists on purpose.

Q 3-4: Individual Sports (Men and Women)
In each section, pick 5 events. If any US competitor medals in an event you select, you will earn points as follows:
Gold: 12
Silver: 6
Bronze: 4

Note 1: Unlike team events, many individual events will have multiple US competitors. If the US earns multiple medals in an event you select, you will earn points for all such medals.

Note 2: Some events have multiple disciplines or weight classes. In some cases, we have specified a discipline (example: Swim - 100 Butterfly or Cycling - BMX). If we have specified ANY then you will earn points for all US medals in ANY such discipline (example: selecting Judo means you will earn points for all US medals in any weight class).

Q5: 200m IM (Swimming)
26 racers are organized into 5 heats of up to 8 swimmers each. The top 16 from the heats advance to the semifinals, two races of 8 swimmers each. The top 8 from the semis advance to the finals.

Swimmers are seeded based on odds:
http://tinyurl.com/cgl545z

Pick 5 swimmers, no more than 10 seed pts. Each of your swimmers will earn points as follows:
10 Advance to Finals
50 Gold
25 Silver
18 Bronze

Q6: 100m Dash (Track)
A zillion sprinters are organized into prelims and heats of up to 8 racers each. The top 24 from the heats advance to the semifinals, three races of 8 racers each. The top 8 from the semis advance to the finals.

Racers are seeded based on odds

Included is the 'Field' - all racers not explicitly seeded.

Pick 4 racers, no more than 12 seed pts. Each of your racers will earn points as follows:
10 Advance to Finals
50 Gold
25 Silver
18 Bronze

Q7: Decathlon
There are 33 decathletes - we've seeded the top 15 according to betting odds. All runners not explicitly seeded are included as the Field*.

* HUGE NOTE: Barring a Martian attack in the middle of his Pole Vault, Ashton Eaton is going to win the Decathlon. He is not available. He is not seeded. He is not part of the Field. Wherever he finishes, everyone below him will be bumped up a spot for points, so let's say Eaton finishes in a disappointing third, spots 4 thru 8 will be awarded points as tho they were spots 3 thru 7. Points are as follows:
1st: 100
2nd: 80
3rd: 65
4th: 50
5th: 40
6th: 25
7th: 10

Pick 4 who total at least 32 seed points.
The top 7 finishers will all get points

Since time is short, we are going to give you a 3-event preview. Picks will lock Wed 8/8 at 10am Pacific - just before the High Jump starts.
