Event Priority Order of Completion

1. Complete the Climbing Wall first since the gold medal is given to the person completing it the fastest. Note the order of completion during the game, and remember for game end scoring.
2. Hurdles requires very specific low numbers, and should be prioritised ahead of other events. If possible, use 1 or 2 on the ground and 4's only over the hurdles.
3. Events that MUST be completed in order to score AT ALL are Hurdles, Triple Jump
2. The Skateboarding section does not need to be completed to score - the high values cumulatively score at the point of game end (when all players fault and cannot play). This means the Front Side Grind and Hand Flip can be left for completion, or incompletion, to later in the game, and will still score.
3. Golf can accept any number, at any time (although higher numbers are better), and can be prioritised last.

General Strategy / Probability Improvement / Dice Management

A. Even out the number requirements of events across as many of the D6 dice face options as possible. Try to have at least one event that requires a number from 1-6 as much as possible.
B. Save the coaches abilities until later in the game, when die choice becomes more difficult.

a. Climbing - furthest to the top is a tie breaker, so prioritise Climbing.
a. Golf - lowest sum is a tie breaker, so try not to exceed the hole value exactly.
b.

z. The Rowing tie-breaking criteria for the "least boats" is confusing, and is unclear how it is evaluated. Should it be "the most boats completed, wins?"

Questions/Improvements:

i. It's unclear how the Total Placed Dice value is utilised?
ii. Definitive and absolute tie-breaking criteria would be helpful.
iii. A running total score displayed for each player could be provided during play.
