777rak Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hello. Yes I am new here but I do follow GamesBids during the election of the Olympics city host. Anyhow.... I am wondering if anyone on this site does or knows of a place for fantasy Olympics. If there is one on here, I would like to join. Let me know if you have further questions or comments. Thank you for your time 777rak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningrings Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Fantasy as in a modern 'Nepean Games' or fantasy as in 'What if X if Detroit 1968'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woohooitsme83 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 There's this bid competition going on right now, bit it's for the PanAms: http://www.gamesbids.com/forums/topic/24990-2023-pan-am-games-contest/. It may be too late to join though. Basically, you make a bid book detailing plans and concepts of a city in which you desire to host. Is that what you mean by "fantasy Olympics"? *but it's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
777rak Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Fantasy Olympics like the popular fantasy football (NFL) You are against other players. You draft Olympians. The better they do the more points you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woohooitsme83 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hrmmmm... Don't think we have those at the moment, but we do have sweepstakes whenever a big event comes around. Basically, you are drawn with a competing nation where you are suppose to root for. If they win, you get bragging rights *cough* krow. I think the Olympics may be too big (in athlete size) to do a fantasy football-like event. (but I'm sure there's a thread somewhere on here that's drafting hot Olympians ^.^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quaker2001 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Fantasy Olympics like the popular fantasy football (NFL) You are against other players. You draft Olympians. The better they do the more points you get. I do a lot of fantasy baseball and football, so I get what you mean. Tough to do that with Olympians because there aren't really stats other than the medals and obviously it doesn't come around as often. I think your best bet is the sweepstakes that woohoo mentioned.

zekekelso Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Heck, fantasy NASCAR is wildly popular in some parts of the US. I'm sure they could come up with fantasy Olympics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
