I think this is a great idea, and I’m excited that you’re doing it.

Great idea, since you asked for suggestions, here are some:

• I have been involved in many soccer prediction tournaments at work places or among friends. A frequent problem is that as the tournament goes on, many participants clearly have no chance of winning anymore, lose interest and drop out. Having alternative/​intermediate awards (that can be purely symbolical) like “best predictions in December” or “fastest learner”(for most improved predictions) could be a fun way to mitigate that.

• Depending on the number of people who sign up but are not associated with a university group, it might make sense to have the “People” category split by countries/​regions. This would also facilitate some networking in countries where EAs have a hard time getting to know each other.

One idea you might want to consider is to steal questions from some more established forecasting platforms, like Metaculus or Good Judgment Open. You could also join foretell, which has a really nice team interface, and compete on their questions.

I’d like to know if we could inscribe a bit latter than the 12th of October. In Madrid we are opening an university group but it is not set up yet.

There are two names that we’re in between for the tournament. Please upvote the name that you like more.
