Totallympics Open International Song Contest 2021

Recommended Posts

It's been a few days, but I'll make it short and sweet. Thank you, @Dnl for hosting the show with everything thrown at you, and congratulations to @Hipooo on your first win. Also my congrats to @Wanderer and @Belle on your podium finishes

 

It's nice to be among the handful of countries with a perfect attendance rate, and we're definitely keeping it going.

 

Also, my thanks to those who voted for the United States: :SLO:POR:ISR:MLT:LTU:CAN:MDA:GRE:IRL:DEN:GER:ESP:ROU. I'd say a 12th place finish isn't bad, I was hoping for a top 5 finish, but this is nice. I will admit this edition isn't the greatest in terms of quality, tho. I really struggled to pick 12 songs to give points to.

 

Finally, here are my personal votes

 

12 -- :FRA 

11 -- :CAN 

10 -- :GRE 

9 -- :SWE 

8 -- :SRB 

7 -- :VIE 

6 -- :KAZ 

5 -- :SLO 

4 -- :ROU 

3 -- :ESP 

2 -- :GBR 

1 -- :CZE 

 

R1 -- :BUL 

R2 -- :BRA 

R3 -- :MEX

Now here is something I wanted to do for a long while, but never got around to doing it... Until this week. And it was done much sooner than expected.

 

I wanted to apply this interesting Eurovision Song Contest analysis on TISC. It's about detecting the strongest two-sided ('collusion') and one-sided voting patterns in TISC history. And oh boy, the results are interesting. :d

 

First up are the two-sided ('collusion') voting patterns. These pairs of nations have exchanged many more points than it is statistically probable assuming the random distribution. Of course, users don't vote randomly, the random simulations were just used to find the strongest connections.

 

And down below are the results. The program ran 10,000 random simulations of TISC, and to appear on this map, the nations must have exchanged more points in reality than they did in 9500 or more (95%+) of these 10k random simulations.

 

There are some definite cultural relationships here (MDA-ROU, AZE-TUR, CZE-SVK). Some relationships are extremely strong though. DEN-NZL, for instance, have exchanged more points in reality than they did in quite literally any of the 10k random simulations. :p I mean, we already knew this, but #RelationshipGoals am I right?

And here are the most one-sided relationships of TISC... Maybe I should have used a stricter criteria, or maybe TISC is just full of doomed relationships? :lol: Either way, I hope the map below is readable enough.

 

Probably the most one-sided TISC relationship has been MDA-SRB. Moldova has awarded 110 points to Serbia (11.0 per edition, including their last 7 gold medals), while Serbia has only 'returned' 26 points. Other most one-sided affairs are CRO-AUS, EGY-GER, EGY-IRL, GUY-TUN, KAZ-AUS, KAZ-CHN, NOR-NED, SUI-IRL.

And finally, this analysis was possible only because, at long last, the complete voting history is finally in one place.

 

If you would like to see your nation's complete voting history, do not hesitate to ask. :) Only the combined votes are available for multi-juries right now, though.

Thanks for the hard work on these stats. If not too much to ask, I’d like to see my voting history, since I’ve lost some of it.

 

I was well aware of Mexican one sided crush on French music, who if I remember correctly have only returned points on one ocasion.

Yup, in last 14 editions I awarded 114 points to Denmark, they got points in every edition except when they won :lol:  Twice 12 pts, three times 11 and once 10 points included.

 

Argentina also gets a lot of points from me, 78 points in total in last 14 editions, sitting on the second position right after Denmark. But indeed I think I don't get as much points from them neither.

 

As for SVK, they got 0 in these 14 editions :red:

A curious case - I almost never award points to Poland, the only time got points - it was 12 :lol: 
USA is another case where no points have been awarded so far :curious:

This is super interesting! I knew i voted sometimes for some northern african songs but didn't knew there was this relation with Tunisia, i'm guessing Myrath and Emel Mathlouthi are responsible of this (that performance of her singing in the nobel peace price concert.... it's breathtaking....).

Didn't @bestmen accuse you of being a Tunisian once or twice? :lol: I think I can remember it.
