I wasn't sure whether to make a general thread for the European Team Championships or one specifically for the First League. But as I want to have somewhere to discuss the First League, I opened one anyway, so I'll let the admins decide.

 

Anyway, the First League contains the nations of quite a few Totallympians so should be good scrap.... expecting @Werloc @hckosice and @heywoodu, to be interested at least

So it's more complicated than usual this year. Instead of the 3 up, 3 down in terms of promotion / relegation, with changes in the amount of teams in the Super League for 2021, it means only 1 team will be promoted, and 5 teams will be relegated to the Second League. This makes it much harder for nations like Ireland to stay afloat this year.

Russia also are still ineligible to compete so they will be one of the 5 relegated teams and only 11 teams will take part.

So you need to be in the top 7 to remain in the First League for 2019, the winner gets promoted to a new 8-team Super League, and positions 8th-11th fall through the trap door to the Second League.... God help us @Werloc and @hckosice

I usually find it hard to get excited for any kind of team competition in athletics  I just want to see someone finish or jump/throw far/high and then know who won

Just posting some predictions without even really looking into the teams. I think it will be pretty close though between the teams. Norway might have the advantage from the home crowd.
