Fantasy GamesGame of Podiums
Fabio Poncemi
Protagonist of the weekend? Bad weather. Snow and wind forced the cancellation of three races (out of the five scheduled) between Lake Louise and Killington. The first deliberate descent of the season was staged in Canada on Saturday, while the women's slalom was held in Vermont on Sunday. Attention to the scheduling of recoveries.

Already certain that of the free descent of Lake Louise, which will be recovered as early as next Sunday in Beaver Creek. In this case, it will be possible to reschedule the podium, as usual, within two hours prior to the start of the race. However, when and where the male Super-G and the female Giant will be recovered, it has yet to be defined.
However, what we saw on the track led to a change in the general classification, now commanded by albino zorzi with 46 points, ahead of Nitram and Carlo Chianale, both at 44. No player was able to "hit" the podium of the downhill. In 18 they have guessed two positions out of three and with 10 points they are at the top of the "Downhill" classification, still to be defined. 22 players have instead guessed the podium of the slalom, which saw the triumph of the queen of the house Mikaela Shiffrin, in front of Vlhova and Holdener. Over the course of the season, no player has guessed more than a top 3.
The rankings will certainly be revolutionized next weekend: in fact, seven races are scheduled between Thursday and Sunday, weather permitting. The men will be on track on Beaver Creek's Birds of Prey for two Super-Gs and two Downhill races (as mentioned Sunday's race is the recovery of the Lake Louise cancellation). The girls will make their debut in speed, with two downhill races and a Super-G at Lake Louise. The predictions are already open.

REGULATION
The formula of the Game of podiums is the one by now consolidated for NeveItalia fans: it is necessary to guess in exact order the podium of the World Cup races, for men and women. For each "centered" position 5 (five) points are awarded, while 2 (two) are awarded if the athlete on the podium is guessed, but with a different placement from that indicated. Whoever indicates the first three classified in the exact order will therefore get 15 points.
But beware of the Beijing Olympic competitions and the Courchevel finals, which will award triple points. In these races, each correct position will have the value of 15 (fifteen) points, while if an athlete who has reached the podium but in the wrong position is reported, 6 (six) points will be won. Total achievable in these races, therefore, of 45 points.
For each event it will be possible to make predictions up to about two hours before the start of the race. In any case, according to the conditions of the competition, the editorial staff will have the possibility to set a different closing time for the bets. In the hypothesis, in which the competition takes place over several days, the start of the competition on the first day will prevail. If the race is not played or is played irregularly or any type of technical or organizational problem occurs, the editorial staff may decide not to assign any points per event and the insertion of predictions by users will not produce any results on the scoring. If a race is postponed to the following days and this decision is made after the closing of the phase in which it was allowed to send the prediction for the game of podiums, the editorial staff will have the right to reopen the prediction and users will be able to update the prediction sent, up to about two hours from the start of the new race date.
