Plus my main event is at the beginning...

I like having two back to back early events, then I'm still on the edge of my seat until the near the end.

The 4 events in a row get annoying.

How do you have time for NINE events?

Edit: No event conflicts?

He does a lot of building events and his study are very dissimilar so they don't conflict

And if we flipped the order, it would then be boring for the people with 'main events' at the new beginning... I'm not clear on how it would be more entertaining though and 'give everyone something to remember'. There isn't a specific reason we can't do it that way, just that all our processes are setup to do it in alphabetical order.

What about keeping the same order, but leaving out all 1st place gold medalists? Do them all in one shot at the end before overall team awards.
