Only if you can fairly generate results will I participate.

the rules should be fairly simple
i was thinking along the lines of stuff we could determine with dice

basketball and other team ball sports:)
for instance if the competition was basketball one person would roll a 6d. the ability to shoot for the hoop. the next person would roll a 6d for the ability to block the shot. if the first player rolled higher then they'd made the shot.

Gymnastics/Diving/other performance driven sports
each person would roll a 10d for the whole number and a 10d for the percent
for instance player A rolls 9 for the first number then rolls 8 for the next number so the competitor would get 9.8 as the score from Player A. Player B would get a similar score as would any players
if there was a tie we'd of course let someone else roll to see who won.

I held Olypmics about 3 months ago or so, about 8 nations participated in about 30 events (non-conventional ones like Paintball, Stock Car Racing, Swimsuit model Comp., etc)

I thought it was a big hit.

"Sir Adam White Island" collected the most medals with 25
"DePaul" and "Raysia" both tied for second in medal collection with 19
"Timway" got forth with 18 medals collected

I made a spinner (so it was completely random for the most part)

Look at Agnosticium's Track and field olympic qualifiers for inspiration.
