Told you it was Holland, @heywoodu.

As a proud inhabitant of not Holland, that's not cool dude.

It's the end!

 

I hope that despite long ceremony and parade which lasted over hour, due to some techincal problems, everyone enjoyed their evening here. See you tomorrow at 11:00 CET (GMT+2) with @OlympicIRL opening the show. May the best song win!

 

Good night!

But besides Mariah Carey's Emotions I can't forgot remind you the best (to date) Polish entry at TISC. Emotions of Peter and Jacob.

 

Aaah yes I loved that one

Team Challenge

 

6. (a) Each edition of the Totallympics International Song Contest will feature a Team Challenge competition. The main purpose of this team element is to further enhance the community spirit that is an integral feature of TISC events and to provide another means of encouraging users to interact with one another.

 

Looking ahead to the Tokyo Olympics, for this edition we felt it would be fitting to base the Team Challenge around an elimination bracket tournament format.

 

Team Challenge will consist of four (4) different stages:

1. Seeding Round
2. Quarterfinals
3. Semifinals + Repechage
4. Finals

 

Each new stage will start with the team totals set at zero (0) points. The teams totals will be calculated by adding up scores of its four (4) members. Since Torun Gingerbreads have five (5) members, their lowest score of the stage will be discarded.

 

Seeding Round:

• Votes 1-9
• 1st to 8th -> Quarterfinals, 9th -> Repechage

 

Quarterfinals:

• Votes 10-18
• Teams are seeded in accordance with the seeding results.
• Winners -> Semifinals, Losers -> Repechage

 

Semifinals + Repechage:

• Votes 20-28
• Semifinals: Winners -> Gold Medal Match, Losers -> Bronze Medal Match
• Repechage: 1st -> Bronze Medal Match, 2nd to 5th -> OUT

 

Finals:

• Votes 29-37
• Gold Medal Match will consist of two teams (SF Winners).
• Bronze Medal Match will consist of three teams (SF Losers + Repechage Winner).

Anyways, here is hoping for an exciting Grand Final (but expecting one or two runaway songs).

[hckošice 13,275]

Will have to leave in ahour or so and sadly will miss the first two sessions (but will try to follow as much as possible by my phone), expected to be back right before the evening session around 4:30.

 

So just want to wish you guys great TISC, a lot of fun and may the best win. @rybak good luck with the contest today (my templates with greetings in slovak are in our PM)

 

and fingers crossed everyone will gain point(s) today
