Any Olympic stuff should just be window dressing. The course and how it looks and plays should be what's judged, not who's rings are better. For the record by the way, it's mine. Mine are better.

Just my opinion, and obviously it doesn't really count for anything but I fancied weighing in anyway.
I think the overall Olympic feel to the course SHOULD count... at least to an extent. Almost as a tiebreaker, or a way to differentiate otherwise inseparable courses. Just as the visuals are important to the rating of a course, the Rio feel should be too, given that that is what this contest is for. I understand that obviously a "generic" or non Olympic course that plays better than a course with a podium and rings thrown onto it shouldn't be ranked lower because it's missing something that wasn't even asked for in the brief, but at the same time it doesn't pack the same wow factor as a brilliant course with the added thematic elements.
Basically, I'd like to see those touches but they aren't make or break.

if it's a tie breaker...sure...I can totally see that. Like I said you can use it to ADD points...but you should DEDUCT if you DON'T have it. I'm totally fine with that.

Pretty sure you mean "shouldn't" deduct if you don't have it But maybe not necessarily as a tie breaker strictly, I do think it should count for a little bit - maybe bumping a hypothetical course from say a 7.5 to an 8 or so?

"Even though the real life tournament is being hosted in Rio, any theme can be used." Some took the hint, some didn't, pay pay pay, lose lose lose, you lose, just withdraw, save yourself the shame.....

Lol cheers lads ... Keen are we? So the drama has come in the form of a couple of crashes which set me back a bit:(. Plus I was late off work so set me back some time. All good though, a few obvious spots that need a tidy. Taking a short break then I'll get it finished soon enough Either that or I'll rage delete it ... Don't push me I'm fully caffeinated!! Lol, loving the hard time I'm getting

Using the full time... Why not, I'm wide awake... Play testing to make sure I don't miss anything stupid... Though I won't push it too close
