No, I don't think EAA has ever awarded the hosting right before knowing who is in which league. This is not ice hockey.

According to the new competition regulations for 2021, 9 teams are possible:

"602.7. The participating teams shall be divided into a Super League (comprising 8 or, exceptionally, 9 teams), a First League (comprising 12 teams), a Second League (comprising 12 teams), and a Third League (comprising the remaining teams)".

What kind of results system gets broken in the very last race?

The one where several Hungarians armed with baseball bats smash during the race when they see that Ireland is edging them out

Maybe the officials had a train to catch and literally ran off after the final race

Ugh. Just don't tell me that if 9th team (hosts) avoid relegation, they get to stay in the Super League just like that?

 

If so, this has Russia written all over it.

Looks like Ireland won the last event.

Perfect time to get their first win of the competition

Wow, there were no timings for the second 4x400 so Ireland have been awarded the win!!!!!  All the teams in the A Race given No Mark.

Well...

"602.14. If the team of the host European Athletics Member Federation is not qualified to participate in the Super League, it shall be included in the Super League, as a ninth team, and such adjustments, as necessary, shall be made to the procedure described in 602.13.1 to 602.13.6.

Note: The exception above (i.e. having 9 teams in the Super League) would be allowed only on the condition that the host venue foreseen has a 9-lane 400m track".
