JWorldSports Mod
This mod was inspired by the RandomEvents Mod and its prediseser OlympicGames Mod by ?any one know?. It also takes some ideas from Optimizer's Replacing Religion with Sports thread.
Basic Ideas
The basic idea of the mod is to add many different sports to the game. Each Player will Skill Rating in each sport. The Skill Ratings will be based on the Player's Traits, know Techs, total Unit Levels, total Level of Units with certain Promotions, total number of certain Promotions, total number of Sport Buildings (which will include such vanilla buildings as the Colosseum), number of Great Atheletes you have spawned, total number of Great Atheletes you have fortified, the Player's previous success/failure in the sport, and ,finnally, the acual Stats of the Units on the Player's SportTeam for that Sport.

Here is his origional list of sports and some more I added. I removed Track and Feild so I could break it up into its indivual sports. I took the Mathematics from Track and Feild and assigned it to Chess.
I am in no way limiting the number of sports by any factor other then my time to code and the size of the list of sports people suggest and resonably tie to a Tech.
World sports
* Sport - Discovering Tech
* Equestrian - Horseback Riding

This mod is one of the big ones that I'm going to be working on for awhile, so don't expect the beta any time soon, but this is right at the top of my priority list and is getting most of my time at the moment.

This screen can only be opened once the Olympic City has been chosen.
It will have each Olympic Event list. By clicking on a sport you can get specific info on each Event, the SportTeams participating, the current Civilizations in first, second, and third place in the event.
