Sprints for 2024

Post by Skillz »

Any dates and names suggestions for the coming year?

I prefer to keep the dates and names aligned with real sporting events around the world, but I am open to ideas.

Hello all,
What about these names for the sprints in 2024:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprint_(running)
* 60 meters: half-day sprint ?
* 100 meters: one-day sprint
* 200 meters: two-days sprint
* 400 meters: four-days sprint
* 4 x 100 meters relay: 4 x one-days sprints on 4 different projects ?
* 4 x 400 meters relay: 4 x four-days sprints on 4 different projects ?
Cheers, Sam

Good suggestions. Not going to do half a day as that's not fair to those who will be sleeping on the other side of the world when the Sprint starts.

The 4x sprints in a 4-day period is interesting though. Sadly they would all be counted as 4 individual sprints though as I have no backend setup to combine them into "one" for points purposes, but that's certainly something interesting to possibly implement at a later date.

For now I would just prefer to stick with Sprints that align with real sporting events and name them accordingly.
