I've been thinking about it and perhaps fitting it in the timespan of 24 July to 9 August may not be as impossible as it seem.

If we did this for Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games which had 14 events and hold a two-week long Wikilympics then we would just a single event per day and honestly that would be rather underhwlming. Perhaps if there was three events per day and each competitor can parttake in three different sports if they want to in order to spread it out.

You are right about requirements being a problem though. Not only would competitors need Nintendo Switch and the game itself but also will require a capture card or some means to require their gameplay footage in HD in order for Veralann to make videos out of.

I think scheduling the actual events maybe easy, or very leasta hassle on what day is this event and who will be competing in events etc. It would be making sure everyone can play and collecting the footage we need that will be a hassle.

However, I think it would be too much to ask to make it a "live event", I just can't see how to pull that off outside of everyone getting Twitch streaming accounts or something. While not watching our M&S Olympic players live would rob the thrill out of it, I think it would be best to simply tell the competitors who they will be up against, what events and just tell them when we want the recorded footage in by for Veralann to have time to edit together. Not as glamourous as I invisioned it but it's the most practical way I can see it outside of hosting an actual eSports, venue and all.
