Can you name the Olympic teams that performed the best at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris according to our very own ranking system?
Methodology: Gold = 4, Silver = 2, Bronze = 1. In the case of a tie in points, preference is given to the team with more golds, then silvers, then bronzes.
Yes, unfortunately they do. I would much prefer the IOC version over the 'American' version as it is far more logical, but it too has some minor flaws I must admit.
Interesting. I'd probably go 4, 2, 1 so that gold is double silver and silver is double bronze, but it's pretty arbitrary. Wouldn't make a huge difference. Just prioritise gold more, so closer to the standard ranking.
Yes, I wasn't exactly sure how to run it. I considered 5, 3, and 1. In fact, I actually quite like the 4, 2, 1 system, so I might change that. Thanks for the suggestion!
Also, thanks for the mention in caveat!
