In theory a sport called say English Premier League should take place in England and it does 95% of the time, and that's not too bad. Likewose the SPL scores 100% and Scottish Division 3 scores 90% ( due to Berwick still being in England ).
The Tour de France usually takes place 90%+ of the time in France, so also ok.
But Golf's European tour scores 50% on the same method ( as a lot of events aren't in Europe ) and that's starting to take the p1ss. And for a while I thought that was the worst example of its kind, but I've just discovered an even worse one. Can anyone name a sporting event that goes below 50%?

..and check out the Equestrian events at the 1956 Olympic Games...
Can't count I think jimmy - I think it's the Paris-Dacca/Dakar rally, so it's from one place to another place, so scores 100%. 1956 Olympic Games scores 90+% as will the 2012 London Olympics as there's a bit of Weymouth action.
The Dakar Rally hasn't been held anywhere near Dakar since 2009...and it hasn't been called the Paris-Dakar since then either.
Well played jimmy - I wasn't aware of the changes and have to concede.
It must score 0% and is a clear winner for you.
I was thinking of the Monte Carlo Rally at around 10% as the least geographical, but it clearly isn't

Another winner - Jimmy69. World series is a junk title invented by US bullsh*tters; the place runs on bs.
Well, it's not sport, although you can bet on it but the Mercury music prize takes place right here, on Earth. Who are they trying to kid?
