Something is happening in London! Something amazing! Something magnificent! Something we're not going to refer to by name, because it has a tendency to be pretty litigious!
Yes, it is a time for pride! It is a time for countries to engage in an epic battle for dominance! it is a time for sport!
But, hey, maybe you're not into that - the sport part, we mean. Maybe you love the country-on-country action but don't care much for athletics. Well, just like during March Madness, we're offering an alternative - The Contest of Countries Competing Competitively!
Every weekday - starting next Monday, July 30th, and going until Thursday, August 9th - we'll be posting a new category - such as Best Sandwich, Greatest Author, Coolest Fighting Style, etc.
Here's some additional info, if you're interested:
- The countries will vary from category to category.
- Each category will be open for 72 hours.
- When a category closes, we'll tally the votes and award gold, silver, and bronze medals.
- Gold will be worth 3 points, silver worth 2 points, and bronze worth 1.
At the end of the whole thing, we'll take these points, add them all up for each country, and announce a winner on Monday, August 13th
That's all we'll give you for now, but get ready. Come Monday, you'll need your clicking fingers primed and your voting brain even primeder!
