Cricket

Horse Racing
With a lot of popularity surrounding Horse Racing with events such as the Grand National, Kentucky Derby and Dubai World Cup discussions began about the addition to the Majestic Games. With a 80% approval race a singular mixed gender race was added.

MMA
MMA is a widely popular sport which has many branch off disciplines that are contended on an international level such as judo and taekwondo. However, the umbrella term MMA is not contended despite the wide fan base for promotions such as UFC and Bellator. A Male and Female Tournament was proposed which would allow any branch of mixed martial art to compete. Following a vote, MMA was added to the sporting list with an overall approval rate of 80%.

Artistic Gymnastics
With the addition of Acrobatic Gymnastics a discussion surrounding the gymnastic events took place. They agreed that due to most of the Team All Around event scores going towards individual scores that the Individual All Around event would be removed. This was decided with a 100% approval rate.

Boxing, Taekwondo, Weightlifting, Karate & Judo
When discussing the following sports it was noticed that each of them had a lot of events, each designed for specific weight categories. Following discussion and agreement that if each weight category was added to be fair, it would not be realistically possible to host they agreed to eliminate each weight class. Each of the sports would have a male event and a female event. This had a 80% approval rate.

Basketball
Basketball in the Olympic Games have a team event as well as a 3x3 team event. The Majestic Olympic Committee reviewed this and believed that the 3x3 event was unnecessary so was removed with a 100% approval rate.

Modern Pentathlon, Heptathlon & Decathlon
The Majestic Olympic Committee believed that when evaluating the modern pentathlon that each component of the sport was represented within other sporting events and that a combination of the sport would mean other sporting events should also take place that combined other sports.

Due to this reason and to be fair, the Modern Pentathlon was removed with an 80% approval rate of the decision. The same principle was agreed for the Heptathlon and Decathlon.

Rejected Sports & Events
When each new sport was proposed they had the chance of being rejected. This could have been for a variety of reasons ranging from lack of recognition, not being seen on the same athletic ability compared to other sports or it being a dated sport.

Cheerleading
Cheerleading was the first sport that was rejected to be added to the sporting program of the Majestic Olympics scoring a 40% approval rate compared to the 60% needed. Members of the committee that voted the addition of the sport believed that it did not hold the same athletic ability as the other sports taking place or being proposed. In addition, they believed it served more as an interval act, opening or closing ceremony segment. Individuals that supported the addition of the sport believed that it would bring a new element to the games and with the recent addition of cheerleading to the USA Olympics thought it would be a good thing to include as it would receive higher recognition in the future.

Tug of War
Tug of War was the second sport that was rejected with an overall approval rate of 20% compared to the needed 60% approval rate to be added to the program for the Majestic Olympics. The general consensus of the individuals that rejected the proposal was that it was a dated sport with it not being represented at the Olympics since 1920. They additionally believed that Tug of War was more of a fun game, compared to a sport. The members that approved of the sport believed that it would have been a fun addition to the games bringing a sporting ability with also a sense of entertainment.

Discussion Surrounding Hosting Bids
When nations were submitting hosting bids each of them were reviewed by the Majestic Olympic Committee. Each of them had to have secure funding either available, planned or proposed for the bid to be approved in the discussion phase. In addition to this, each of the nations aiming to host must of had the venues available during specific date periods to avoid conflicting schedules with the addition of a high enough attendance quota. Public transport within the Olympic Village and also as a nation was reviewed with hotel accommodation and food halls being added to the discussions. Each nation was tasked to provide a logo, motto, mascot and outline the individual that would be opening the games in their nation if successful. Each of the bids put forward was invited to outline as much information as they liked as long as they hit all set criteria by the committee.
