2023 World Championships Prediction Game

Last year’s WAG and overall champion was @Caligym. MAG co-champions were @RAFIKI and me.

Some changes for this year:

1. You can edit your predictions throughout each phase of competition. In the past, the Google form was closed just prior to TF. This year, the form will never close. But please don’t cheat and edit after the conclusion of a competition. I have access to edit history and will nullify your results for that particular competition.
2. Please post your predictions on this very thread! Some of the fun of this is seeing other’s guesses.

Oooh I was hoping this would happen again! I’m tempted to predict absolute chaos within realms of reality. I’ll submit and post here when quals are done, if I remember.
(Edit to add- is that the correct link? It’s not loading for me, but may be my laptop, which decides not to function or open links every now and again randomly)

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

I just edited the link. Let me know if it’s still not working for you!

 

[Gymfan93]

It’s working now- thanks!

 

[RAFIKI]

I have to work tomorrow (at least I’ve been to Antwerp before) but I need to remember to do this.

Not really sure if qualifications has helped much when it comes to teams. I trust USA MAG and CHN WAG less after their good performances!

Oops, forgot about this. Submitted now

I would have gone Japan, China, GB Alt: USA for men’s team, so that’s 12.5 points gone.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Keep the submissions coming!! MAG TF has passed, but the WAG competition is totally separate

2. GBR
3. CHN
   Alt USA

WAG TF

1. USA
2. BRA

[YurchenkoLoop]

No one had France on their podium, not even as alternate!

 

[Caligym]

So, I’m no expert on men’s gymnastics. But I’m assuming I would have done better in the game if I’d picked a guy to win who was actually competing?:roll_eyes:
