Yes, DirtDiver is the master of scoring, leave it to him, or send him a case of beer!!! Anways, enter as many of your members each week as you can, the top 5 scores count. Dirt and I are workign as hard as possible to get you more team members. So far we have replaced all 4 of your team members that are no shows or not sure's.

here is your list
Lykofos -Captian
ambaker- watched My Big Fat Wedding
Zigomar- Has seen Greece on TV
Jammur - Has eaten Greek Food
metatate - his name is a musuem which holds Greek Art work

Sorry I have a s**tload of deadlines at workj til July 25th and have been out of the loop.


The way the scoring works is the top 5 scoring images from each team will be averaged into that team’s weekly average. If there is only 5 people on the team and all 5 people enter then yes all 5 scores will be averaged. Because you can only enter one challenge of the two open challenges you don't have to worry about scores from another challenge, they are only calculated from those two challenges.

I think I am losing my own thought here... Don't worry about anything; just make sure that you and your team enter one of the open challenges every week, I will take care of the scoring.

Sugar, so far this is all the people that have signed up for it. I know July is a long time aways, but things change and some people may not be able to do it or go on holiday, so that was why the teams are posted and changed can be made.

Same format as before, but with 8 team members per team and 1 person can be recruited from anywhere in the world for that team
04/23/2008 09:39:06 AM · #15
Has there been a final decision made about format etc. ?

Well I still think you should be on your team as you are a valuable member and we would all hate it if you left.

Are you like having a bad week or something or is it just me you are having a bad week with.

One of the reasont that we are doing the teams now, is so that IF people change their minds or go on holiday or have other plans, there is TIME for others to step in.

Is that all right with you then Bassman, or you wanna go left field with that too.


I am very sorry I voiced an opinion. I will never do so again, and will leave you to your fun. Obviously after your comment above I will not be participating, but I wish you well.

Just to throw something at you all, how many would like to ditch the Olympics and do something like the FSM except instead of free studies it would be open challenges?

FWIW (this suggestion was not my idea) but personally I like the idea of competing but but I really don't care for the way the Olympics is set up.

Hi everyone - I know this is not my discussion area but I was reading some of the post; different ideas from different people. I just wanted to drop in and say I like the concept of DPCOLYMPICS and to say everyone keep a cool head and all things will work out. All the debate made me look the first wpl thread {If you have a chance look at it). We didn't know what to do, when to do it, how to do it, but it turned out very successful. As I know DPCOLYMPICS will, just hang in there!
