which system would you come up with? I realize that for many, it's only about the golds, but silver and bronze should mean something as well. I just wondered if anyone had ever come up with an agreed-upon point system. What about one of these formulas?

Gold - 10
Silver - 5
Bronze - 2

OR

Gold - 10
Silver - 4
Bronze - 1

Back to your point. It's a great look for ND and the Paris Olympics are only three years away, so maybe many of these same ND athletes will be back (I doubt it for the med school fencers). I am hoping maybe Nuguse can try again and that other ND athletes will be ready to in three years for the Olympic trials.

I always did reverse points, 3,2,1 Gold, Silver, Bronze

I agreed with myself that it worked.

Run that proposal by Molly *

I am bending over backwards to accomodate those who

feel that gold medal count is the most important count.

I would go with 3:2:1 or 4:2:1

Your first proposal is equal to 4:2:0.8, so pretty close to the second one above.

Agree, often times the dif is tenths of sec

between gold and bronze.
