The process to find a name for the Axolotl of the contest finished Thursday night, with 34 members of Totallympics casting a total of 62 votes from among 7 possible names for the likeable mascot.

Full results are shared below Results From now on, Axoloco will fulfill his role of 2019 TAISC ambassador to its full capacity; he is heading the Welcoming committee for the participants thay will start arriving in Mexico City on Tuesday April 9th, and will serve as their primary tour guide, which among other places, will include the Pre Hispanic ceremonial site of Teotihuacán and the channels of Xochimilco, both places closely associated to our animal friend legend.

Some well-deserved props for @OlympicIRL for sticking with it and finishing the whole thing even when penguins tried to fuck things up big time

Welcome to Mexico: All countries and juries aboard April 6, 2019.- 2019 Annual TISC organizers have confirmed that each and every one of the National juries and their respective members, have confirmed their participation in this year's edition, dismissing fears that some of them could be left behind. After a slow start in the voting process, most juries send their votes with time to spare before Thursday's deadline, leaving the organizers the task to count and validate the votes until the Big Final two weeks from now. But before, organizers have announced the celebration of the traditional draw that will determine the order each country will have for the aforementioned event. The drawing is taking place today at 11:30 local time, and as per usual, will involve a game show hosted by @OlympicIRL. As part of the celebration, organizing committee revealed it has already booked the flights for the participants, which will start arriving in Mexico City next Tuesday. They will rest there until Thursday, where they will be transported to one of 37 locations across Mexico's other 31 federative entities, where they will enjoy a 4 day stay and discover some of the beautiful places, cuisine, people and traditions the country has to offer, before arriving to Guadalajara the night of April 15th.

Sadly, I´ll have to leave in a few minutes guys. Hope I helped you a bit. Good luck for the rest of the draw.



Ok, so it is the templates for the assigned team that are now showing as incorrect. But if we leave those templates out and just use the colour on the overall voting table to see what team everyone is assigned to, you will should still see the correct teams and how they should have appeared in the template.. So let me update the last tables now

Séamus is hoping to be based in Tequila

MEGA UPSET ! in todays forst match defeated 5-3, putting Sweden in HUGE problems now, remember 2 last teams of this group will be relegated and since Sweden lost also to Germany after the penalty shoot-outs, we can technically say that if they´ll not beat Japan, Sweden will be relegated to Division I making potentally the first Sweden Ice Hockey NT ever to be relegated from a Top Division

Of course the snail is the last one, it makes sense

I'm a bit annoyed I didn't get the opportunity to use this: @heywoodu has sometimes been as slow as a snail to pick throughout this draw. I hope he will be quicker the 20th for the Grand Final.

It didn't work

Koalas can sleep up to 18 hours a day. Sound like me in my teens.

That's because Slovakia is always the last nation drawn

Dolores Hidalgo sounds like a perfect name for the grandmom of all turtles.

I suggest taking a breath and possibly postponing the draw before deciding to throw the whole thing away in a moment of anger and frustration.

Well, I hope he summons all his luck on himself. I think those plants won't grow properly in Ireland's climate, but maybe Axoloco already is thinking on a way of helping his friend.

Well, that's the point... everyone will have a sneak peak into one of our "Magical Towns"

Wait, a non-participating nation participated in a qualifying event where quota are won for an event in which said nation doesn't participate?

Hi.... I choose the Snail!!! The last option

Sadly, I need to leave for a few minutes... Here's the "picking" order after wumo26 @Quasit @Bohemia @dezbee2008 @heywoodu And then @wumo26 again

Fun fact: A dolphin eats about 15 kilos of fish a day. Not really a fun fact, more just a fact when I think about it.

https://www.facebook.com/pg/PlaySports2/videos/?ref=page_internal Well, World Champion Courtney is destroying everyone... she had a 20 seconds advantage over Mexico's Campuzano, who just had a puncture so she even has a bigger lead now.... It's around 2 min difference.

You're welcome buddy

Let's see HOO's at 21 (get it? 21 owl)

Bear in mind, the TAISC Grand Final is in 14 days.

I can help

Found the mistake.....hopefully this will help to correct it. Bear with me as I am just fixing it up.

Yes, but Adblock seemed to fix it for now

Coincidence has it I just had dinner: bread with meat inside it and yes, I actually did eat 3 of them

Denmark makes racket over 'match-fixing' Chinese badminton players Ritzau/The Local news.denmark@thelocal.com @thelocaldenmark 12 November 2018 17:10 CET+01:00 badmintonmatch-fixing Share this article China's Junhui Li, left, and Yuchen Liu, seen here during a different match, lost in the controversial quarter-final in Fuzhou. AP Photo/Aaron Favila/Ritzau Scanpix The national association for badminton in Denmark says the sport's world federation should punish Chinese players for a match at last week's Fuzhou China Open which has been described as a “farce”. Bo Jensen, director of Badminton Denmark, wants the Badminton World Federation (BWF) to take action after seeing footage of a quarter final match in which He Jiting and Ta Qiang defeated Li Junhui and Liu Yuchen in three sets. “I am giving my support to the criticism. This is cheating, it's match-fixing and we can't accept it,” Jensen said to TV2 Sport. “In our context, this is just as bad as doping, and it must be punished because if it is not, we will damage the sport's reputation amongst fans and the many sponsors that are making huge investments at the moment,” he added. Several Danish badminton players are reported to have been present during the match. Doubles pair Mads Pieler Kolding and Mads Conrad-Petersen lodged a complaint with tournament organisers following the match about the way it had been played. Another player, Hans-Kristian Vittinghus, later posted an update on Facebook in which he compared the match to a scandal during the 2012 Olympic Games in London, when eight players from China, South Korea and Indonesia were disqualified for deliberately trying to lose. “This was a complete farce of a match which made me think of the London Olympics when 4 pairs deliberately tried to lose their matches. I kid you not, it was this bad,” Vittinghus wrote, citing errors in play that “just (don't) happen at this level”. “Difficult to get hard evidence, but if you have watched a bare minimum of world class badminton, you'd know what just happened,” he also wrote. The BWF told TV2 Sport that it would not comment on the issue prior to receiving a report from the tournament's organisers.

Yep (some times for special school occasions). Also, sorry if my use of Mexican offended. I used that because we were talking about types of Mexican tacos

There are several types of tacos, so you must be more specific.

I vote for Axel the Axolotl

Ready for more? Meet TAISC’s newest member of our family. January 10, 2019.- After a unique media format has been announced by the hosts, 2019 TAISC is ready to introduce new additions to the contest lineup. So far, previous hosts have showcased their countries, each one of them giving its personal touch to expose their culture and traditions to others. This time organizers aim to further promote the participation of users by creating a series of daily posts, displaying basic info about the host country, its people, geography and culture, not forgetting the musical aspect. As part of their plan, today they disclosed that a new member has entered TISC family. “After winning the bid process, we were in contact with our dear friend Seamus, who requested a little friend to help them promote TISC and of course, create a party atmosphere” the organizing committee told the reporters. “Looking into Mexico’s diverse folklore and legends, we found a little character that will surely get along with our Irish friend and of course will enrich this edition with its own uniqueness to the contest. Without further introductions, ladies & gentlemen we present our mascot: the Mexican axolotl” The “axolotl” is an endemic inhabitant of the Texcoco Lake system in central Mexico and has featured prominently in art and folk legends since Pre-Hispanic times. Moreover, it has recently been adopted as a symbol of Mexico’s efforts for biodiversity. However, this year’s mascot is still lacking a name, which will be chosen by Totallympics users from among 3 options, which should be disclosed during the week, in a process that will last until Thursday March 7th, the last day for the local jury to submit their votes and the start point for the other juries to send theirs.

To the kind attention of fellow members: 2019 Annual TISC Organizers would like to take a moment to thank each user that has signed up so far, and also to renew our most sincere invitation for the rest of you to join this edition, in particular: @bestmen @LDOG @Gigs @Il_qar @titicow & @Felipe @intoronto @Pabloffo @Damian & @carivan @dcro @thepharoah @Herki @Finnator123 @catgamer @uk12points @Janakis @Dolby @MHSN @Ruslan @Glen @Ionoutz24 @rybak @kungshamra71 @africaboy @FC Mezhgorye @dareza @hckosice @justony @Enrique @Belle @Nathy @tuniscof @Memo @NaBUru38 @Argenis Gonzalez And of course, every other user & country who wish to join TISC family. Tomorrow we'll reveal a couple of surprises so stay tuned.
