  2. May be I'm the last one who has read the entire topic lol, I didn't have time to read all the comments before, I did all the calculations of the votes, one by one on my own table and I can reassure you all that the final table is correct . Let's begin with congratulations to the winner proved once again he's the master of this contest .Well deserved gold ! The best contest for so far congratulations for Silver ! Congratulations to for first Bronze ! Unfortunately for they gave that Bronze to their neighbours Next time may be it'll be your time don't give up ! We hadn't collected much points as the last edition of the Annual contest, we thought that our choice would get a much better ranking than a 16th place . So we are a little bit disappointed but be sure we will work harder for it next time. I wanted to thank all the nations who voted for Kelmti Horra and it appears they all have different languagues : only and share the same 11 - You gave us our only medal : Muito Obrigado ! 8 - Our flag neighbour : Teşekkürler ! 7 - Poland Dziękuję ! Our mediterranean neighbours Malta Grazzi , and Greece ευχαριστώ (Sakis is really great my 2nd Sub) ! 5 - Denmark Tak (I liked your song though it was noisy ; it scared me at first bad luck you were my Sub N°1) ! Serbia Hvala ! 4 - çox sağ ol ! Origado ! 3 - Chokran ! Merci ! 2 - Grazzie ! Thank You Sir ! Terima Kasih ! 1 - Mulțumesc ! also I wanted to mention the songs that I liked : They remind me of the Beegees great group What a voice and what a pronounciation I think I'm gonna learn finnish soon Reminded me of last year's winners very good choice The Corrs, What else ? or may be one thing : Andrea I love you I really liked the lyrics of their song (I understand a little romanian ) and it has a good rythym too one of the best summer hits of some years ago an eternal hit sung by a great Umberto ! sweet and cute At first I thought she was american a lovely voice from and nice lyrics ! Nice and touching song Kelly and Bryan would have got more points from me with other songs Eventhough India didn't get points from me I wanted to say that their song was really good and very touching ! Was my favourite , that song reminds me of high school years with that irresistible Santana's guitar

  4. yeah thats a longer story He suffered a serious ankle injury during the summers pre-season training camp, the doctor said him that the only solution is a surgery, but he decided to try to compete this season and have the surgery right after the season, but he unfortunately got another foot injury during december in zagreb, but still he decided to fight, didn´t competed last few world cup races and focusing everything only for the worlds, he came to St. Moritz but as you know had this big crash in the super G when he suffered another ankle injury (the second leg this time) and many other smaller hurts, he left the hospital just to compete for the team event, so he tried yesterday hw his foots will do in the combined but you saw how it turned out, 8 seconds behind and not even able to stand on his skis, he said he will see this morning if he can start inthe TE, but the pain was too strong thats in short, hope it solved your question a bit

  12. Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2017 - Charter and Official Rulebook SECTION 1 - SONG CHOICE AND ELIGIBILITY: 1. (a) All songs must be ORIGINAL, NEW MATERIAL, released on or after January 1st, 2016. Exceptions will be made in the following circumstances: (i) A song released as a single no more than 6 months before the cut-off date (i.e. July 1st, 2015) may ONLY be chosen if that song was subsequently released on an album for the first time during the official period of eligibility. For example, a song which was released as a single on July 1st 2015 may be chosen if that song was later included in an album released on January 1st 2016 or thereafter. (ii) A song which is a copy of an original song may ONLY be chosen if both artists of the original song and the copy version are from the same nation AND if the original song was also released within the period of eligibility (on or after January 1st, 2016). 1. (b) All songs must be ORIGINAL to the nation for which they are competing. In other words, if a song is a copy or cover of an original song by an artist from another nation, then it is ONLY permitted to participate for the nation of the artist who produced the original version. If the artist of the cover version is from the same nation as the original artist, then the cover version must fulfill rule 1(a) in order to be eligible to participate. SECTION 2 - ARTIST CHOICE AND ELIGIBILITY: 2. (a) Artists chosen to represent a nation must be born in or be of the same nationality as the nation for which they are participating OR they must have more or equal association with that nation. 2. (b) In the case of bands, at least 50% of the band must be born in or be of the same nationality as the nation for which they are participating OR they should have more or equal association with that nation. 2. (c) For the purposes of the Totallympics International Song Contest, the same concept of nationality as that used by the IOC (International Olympic Committee) will be adopted. So, for example, artists from Scotland must represent Great Britain, artists from Faroe Islands must represent Denmark, etc. SECTION 3 - NATIONAL JURY VOTING: 3. (a) National juries may consist of a single jury member OR a multi-member jury made up of two or more users from that nation. 3. (b) National juries must send their votes in SECRET (via private message) to the host organising member(s) of the song contest as requested. 3. (c) Each jury member in a multi-member jury shall send their individual preferences in SECRET (via private message) to the host organising member(s). The votes from each of the members of the multi-member jury will be combined to form a single set of votes which will represent the overall voting preference of that national jury. In this way, the votes from each of the participating national juries, whether single or multi-member juries, will hold equal value or weight. 3. (d) National juries will use the following voting format: (i) Jury members will award points to their 12 favourite songs in ascending manner from points 1 through 12 (inclusive) with the first preference receiving a maximum score of 12 points, second preference receiving 11 points, third preference receiving 10 points, and so forth until the song of 12th preference which will receive a single point. - 1st preference -> 12 points - 2nd preference -> 11 points - 3rd preference -> 10 points - 4th preference -> 9 points - 5th preference -> 8 points - 6th preference -> 7 points - 7th preference -> 6 points - 8th preference -> 5 points - 9th preference -> 4 points - 10th preference -> 3 points - 11th preference -> 2 points - 12th preference -> 1 point (ii) In single member juries, these scores will subsequently represent the National Jury Vote of that nation. However, in multi-member juries, the votes of all the jury members from that nation will be combined to form a single set of points. The song which has received the most number of points from that national jury will be deemed to be the overall first preference choice of that jury and will receive the maximum score of 12 points; the song which has received the second highest number of points from that national jury will be deemed to be the overall second preference choice of that jury and will receive a score of 11 points, and so forth until the song which has received the 12th highest number of points which will receive a single point from that national jury. 3. (d) National juries must submit their votes by the official voting deadline as designated by the host organiser(s). National juries who fail to submit their votes within the required time frame will be disqualified from the contest. 3. (e) Any Nation which fails to participate in the voting process will be automatically disqualified from the contest. 3. (f) A random draw will take place in advance of the Grand Final to determine the order in which the National Juries will reveal their votes. This draw must be shown to be transparent and available to competing members should they wish to follow the result. The result of this draw must always be adhered to in order to preserve the random nature in which the voting will progress during the Grand Final. A National Jury may only request a "swap" in their designated voting position if, after the random draw, they have been assigned a voting slot outside of "reasonable hours". For the purpose of this contest, reasonable hours will be determined as anytime between 08:30-23:00 local time. During the "swap" process, the host organiser will first look to make swaps between National Juries who are eligible for swaps after the random draw. SECTION 4 - NATIONAL JURY TIE-BREAK PROCEDURES: 4. (a) In the event of a tie in the combined votes of multi-member juries, the following set of rules outlines how the tie-break will be resolved: (i) The song which has received points from the greatest number of jury members will be deemed the winner of the tie. For example, take the following scenario.... Songs A, B, and C each received a combined score of 10 points after the results of each national jury member were combined and calculated. Song A received a single score of 10 points from one jury member, Song B received scores of 7 points and 3 points from two separate jury members and Song C received scores of 5 points, 3 points and 2 points from 3 separate jury members. All three songs received a total of 10 points, however, Song C is deemed to be the winner of the tie because a greater number of jury members voted for that song (3 members in this case). (ii) If the songs remain deadlocked after 4 (a) (i), the song which received the highest value score from an individual jury member will be deemed the winner of the tie. For example, take the following scenario.... Song A and Song B each received a combined score of 14 points after the results of each national jury member were combined and calculated. Song A received scores of 8+6 points while Song B received scores of 7+7 points. Song A will be deemed the winner of that tie since that song received a score of higher value (8 points) from one of the national jury members. (iii) If the songs remain deadlocked after 4 (a) (i) and (ii), jury members from that national jury who did not award any votes to any of the songs involved in the tie-break will be asked to break the tie. This tie-break rule can only ever be used to break ties in juries of 3 members or more and ONLY if there is a jury member who did not vote for any of the songs involved in the tie-break. (iv) After the procedures 4 (a) (i), (ii) and (iii) have been carried out, all outstanding ties within the votes of a national jury shall be resolved by carrying out a single random draw. The nature of this random draw shall be as follows: The names of each national jury member will be entered into a draw. Each name will be drawn. The first jury member drawn will be awarded the right to break the unresolved tie of highest value. The second jury member drawn will be awarded the right to break the unresolved tie of the second highest value. For example, take the following scenario.... there are two members of National Jury X. After the votes of User A and User B are combined and calculated the following situation arises: COUNTRY (Total points) -> Combined value Country A (24 points) -> 12 points Country B (21 points) -> 11 or 10 points Country C (21 points) -> 11 or 10 points Country D (18 points) -> 9 points Country E (16 points) -> 8 points Country F (13 points) -> 7 or 6 points Country G (13 points) -> 7 or 6 points Country H (10 points) -> 5 points Country I (7 points) -> 4 or 3 points County J (7 points) -> 4 or 3 points Country K (4 points) -> 2 points Country L (1 point) -> 1 or 0 points County M (1 point) -> 1 or 0 points Those highlighted in red text are those ties which could not be resolved by 4 (a) (i), (ii) or (iii). As a result of the random draw, User A was drawn first, meaning that user will be given the right to break the unresolved tie of the highest value (the tie between Country B and C for 11 or 10 points). User B was drawn second meaning that user will be given the right to break the unresolved tie of the second highest value (the tie between Country F and G for 7 or 6 points). The order will then be reversed so that User B will be given the right to break the unresolved tie of the third highest value (the tie between Country I and J for 4 or 3 points). User A will finally be given to break the unresolved tie of the fourth highest value (the tie between Country L and M for 1 or 0 points. This procedure to break the unresolved ties will be used for national juries of any number with the first user drawn being given the right to break the unresolved tie of the highest value, the second user drawn being given the right to break the unresolved tie of the second highest value, third user the third highest tie, etc. reversing the order if need be when the order has completed one cycle. However, it should be noted that unresolved tie-breaks which require random draws will occur mostly in two-member juries since national juries with 3 or more members will likely resolve all ties through 4 (a) (i), (ii) or (iii). SECTION 5 - OVERALL SCOREBOARD TIE-BREAK PROCEDURES: 5. (a) In the event of a tie in the overall scoreboard between two or more nations, the following set of rules outlines how the tie-break will be resolved: (i) The nation which has received points from the greatest number of National Juries will be deemed the winner of the tie. (ii) If there is still a tie after 5 (a) (i), the nation which has received the greatest number of 12 points will be deemed the winner of the tie. (iii) If there is still a tie after 5 (a) (i), (ii), the nation which has received the greatest number of 11 points will be deemed the winner of the tie. If the tie remains deadlocked, the process will continue by counting the number of 10 points each nation received, 9 points, 8 points, and so on until the tie-break can be resolved. 5. (b) If there is still a tie in the overall scoreboard between two or more nations after 5 (a) (i), (ii) and (iii) have been implemented, those nations shall be deemed to have tied for position in the overall scoreboard. SECTION 6 - CONDUCT AND RESPONSIBILITY OF PARTICIPANTS: 6. (a) Participating users shall be respectful of the song choice of all nations once they fulfill all of the necessary eligibility requirements. 6. (b) Participating users must not reveal or give any indication as to their preferences or voting choices at any stage before the official announcement of the votes during the Grand Final. 6. (c) Participating users must not discuss private voting procedures with other members so as to ensure fairness is always in play and to ensure any suspense during the Grand Final is kept intact. 6. (d) Participating users must be respectful when posting and discussing with other members on the Totallympics International Song Contest Thread. 6. (e) If foul play is detected with respect to 6 (a), (b), (c) or (d) at any stage before, during or after the contest, the TISC organising committee reserves the right to place the participation or result of that nation under review. SECTION 7 - HOSTING DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: 7. (a) The host organisation must allow a minimum of 3 weeks from the opening date for the national selection and the deadline to submit an entry. This is to give users enough time to see the thread, consider song and artist choices and submit their entries. 7. (b) The host organisation must allow a minimum of 2 weeks for National Juries to submit their votes during the National Jury voting phase. This is to allow jury members enough time to consider each song carefully before casting their votes. 7. (c) The host organiser(s) must submit their votes in advance of receiving votes from other National Juries by private message. The votes of the host(s) should be sent by private message to a neutral party after the national selection window has passed and before the national jury voting phase begins. 7. (d) The host organiser(s) must abide by the same rules that govern the participation of users in the Totallympics International Song Contest as outlined in Section 6. SECTION 8 - FUTURE HOSTING RIGHTS: 8. (a) Upon completion of the relevant song contest, the winning nation will automatically be awarded the rights to host the subsequent Totallympics International Song Contest 1 year later. 8. (b) If the winning nation wishes to decline the hosting duties, a discussion will be raised in the relevant TISC thread to discuss hosting options and allowing users to put forward their bid to become the next hosts.

  28. Ok so here is a quick run through the rules of the game that will be used in the heats.... Players will compete against each other in a game called Gridlock. The aim of the game is to uncover keys in order to open the treasure chests and find the one and only available Silver Ticket for the Final in this heat. Players take turns revealing tiles from the grid. There are 20 keys hidden in the 64-square grid. After a player has revealed a key, they immediately get to use the key to open one of the 20 treasure chests. One of these chests contain the Silver Ticket which ensures that player's passage to the Final. However, to complicate matters a little, the grid system has been infiltrated by those pesky penguins. There are 8 penguins in total lurking in the grid. Players need to be very cautious when selecting tiles because the penguins are set on causing mayhem. Collecting three penguins during the game results in instant elimination for that player and their dreams of hosting TISC Open 2017 will be over. If two players are eliminated by the penguins, the one and only surviving contestant will automatically be awarded the Silver Ticket and advance to the Final. One final piece of information to know - Séamus the lucky leprechaun has hidden himself away in the grid. For the lucky contestant who uncovers him, Séamus will wipe away all those pesky penguins that the player has collected thus far and he will also grant that player a free go at opening one of the treasure chests. Up first in heat one will be and . Play will begin with the nation who achieved the highest finish at TISC Open 2016 (i.e. Mexico, followed by Serbia and then New Zealand). @mrv86 @DaniSRB @Wanderer GRIDLOCK 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

  29. Actually I enjoyed this year's contest. It's just a music contest with an opening ceremony showing the host's country plus the "emotion" of having the classifications changes while the votes are being presented. Just that, nothing more. Anything that the host decides to do (logo, special features on the opening ceremony, special designed board, anything else) is extra, very well apreciable - aparently almost everyone here has work/study/something really important to do in real life, so I had to be a jerk not to give value to someone who tries to make anything extra for the contest -, but just and only an extra!! And I'm not s*** up neither I think anyone is, this is a sport forum, I don't think people here need each other approvals on their real life.

  31. Good idea So here is the updated schedule for the heats: Heat 1: Tuesday, 27th December (18:00 GMT) Competitors: Qualification Criteria: One nation will advance to the Final Heat 2: Wednesday, 28th December (18:00 GMT) Competitors: Qualification Criteria: Two nations will advance to the Final Heat 3: Thursday, 29th December (18:00 GMT) Competitors: Qualification Criteria: Two nations will advance to the Final FINAL: Friday, 30th December (18:00 GMT) 5 Nations compete to win the Golden Ticket and the right to host TISC Open 2017!

  32. Okay so some details on the Competition to find our next TISC Open host: Heat 1: Tuesday, 27th December (18:00 GMT) Competitors: Qualification Criteria: One nation will advance to the Final Heat 2: Wednesday, 28th December (18:00 GMT) Competitors: Qualification Criteria: Two nations will advance to the Final Heat 3: Thursday, 29th December (18:00 GMT) Competitors: Qualification Criteria: Two nations will advance to the Final FINAL: Friday, 30th December (18:00 GMT) 5 Nations compete to win the Golden Ticket and the right to host TISC Open 2017! No nations will be punished for not being present to compete in their heat or final. I have decided it would be unfair to do so since it is short notice. So instead another user from the site will take part on their behalf should any of the competitors be absent at the time. I haven't decided on a game format yet so I can't specify on how the heats will work yet. Good luck to all 9 bidders @amen09 @bestmen @DaniSRB @dcro @dezbee2008 @intoronto @mrv86 @rybak @Wanderer

  33. With this system we get the following win probabilities. In general that's 80% possibility to see a new host and 20% possibility to see a former host repeating his/her duties.

  35. What about conducting like this: 1) Preliminary Round: v. ... a quick TISC trivia game where our favorite show host OlympícIRL asks each 3 or 5 random questions about past editions to each... winner goes to next round. Each question may have actually have a value, a la Jeopardy! 2) Elimination Round: Similar to the above, 2 nations answer TISC trivia... pairings according to past TISC point average. The 4 winners go to... 3) Final Round: I like that Deal or No Deal? format, but I think it may have to be slightly altered. Just a suggestion of course...

  40. Wow, I'm just home and I see I have a lot of posts and updates to catch up on From reading the views so far here, here are two options coming to the fore about how to decide the host: 1. Vote to decide the host - like @dcro pointed out, it could result in strong feelings for those who don't secure the bid by popular vote. To counteract this we would need to carry out the voting in private and announce the winning bid without giving any details about the vote breakdown (similar to TISC award for best user voting). 2. Random game of chance - everyone has an equal chance of hosting. I guess it could be tweaked to weigh the random chance slightly in favour of those bidding nations that did not host before but those such as Mexico and Serbia too have their chance. So if was another key game like the one we had for TISC Annual 2015, those nations who are bidding to host for the first time could start with 1 key each and all of those who hosted before would start with no keys before the "key search" takes place. Thoughts? I must say it is very exciting to see so much interest!

  41. You've convinced me!! Random chance game is best and fairest way to pick the next host! Great to see so many users interested in hosting the contest - looks like the contest has a strong future!

  42. It's better to have everyone interested entering the game of chance. If your chance to win the hosting rights is impacted by popular vote, people preferring or not preferring your country/continent or something that can bring strong feelings going into the contest.
