Boy, did I underestimate how nerve-wracking the act of sending templates to the juries is  

 

The gut-wrenching fear of accidentally sending someone else's templates and/or (the worst option) accidentally sending the whole scoreboard up to that point  

don't worry, I won't spoil the final scoreboard to them

And as for TOISC 2020 statistics, just to add in a little to this stat night:

 

• The highest score received from one national jury during TOISC 2020 is 12 points
• A total of 35 12-pointers have been handed out
• Interestingly, we see the same pattern down the line: there's a total of 35 11-pointers, 10-pointers, but also 2-pointers and even 35 single points
• The points per jury average of the top-5 songs is significantly higher than that of the bottom-5 songs
• There are multiple nations who received points from less than 34 national juries

But did you receive my mail-in ballots?

Should we allow mail-in voting for the next edition? It would be big fun sending something to Canada.

 

If the votes do not arrive on time, they get revealed after the Grand Final (provided the mail got postmarked before the voting deadline).

 

And if the mail gets lost on the way... Recount? Retroactive disqualitication?

Right, everyone has received their templates

In the spirit of time we could go on and do the final live on zoom

Same thing happened to me.

 

Day 1 - less than half templates done, paranoia about accidentally sharing wrong stuff, hysteria

 

Day 2 - easy, done

Meanwhile, has the Team Challenge format been elaborated?

That is just the sending templates, to be clear. Preparing them took a whole lot longer
