I think my favourites this year have to be Croatia and Australia, but there is something about Bosnia that I really like as well. For the UK - they will do very well to get into the top 20, hopefully a good live vocal, staging and placing may be able to do that so that the BBC sticks with the national selection format, but just with better (and more interesting) songs next time.

Will we no longer 'hide' our predictions in the same way as before?

No, just the top 2 from each group will be in the semi-finals

Ok - so if South Africa wins and they reject the quota it will go directly to the rankings not the next best African at this event

The African Championships are underway and South Africa say they will reject any quota they win via continental championships, but.... South Africa are the only country to have entered anyone into the Women's Race. What happens now? In the men's event it is a little easier as Egypt and Morocco have both sent 1 man each, will the highest ranked between them win the quota?

Updated with Rowing and Paracanoe

I fully agree with the first point. Weightlifting and Taekwondo have got their qualification spot on in terms of quality, quantity and diversity because they have limits. If other sports (Boxing, Shooting, Wrestling) were to follow this model then there could be more competition within continents for quota and a more diverse range of countries will qualify - growing the sports in smaller nations.

It is not a direct qualification event, it is the same as any other IPC athletics event in that athetes can get the MQS needed to qualify for the Paralympics.

Updated with Football 5-a-side, Football 7-a-side, Sitting Volleyball, Wheelchair Basketball, Wheelchair Rugby

I hope GB can get 55-65 medals - that is very optimistic but it can be possible if all sports get their act together.

Updated with Judo quota

Updated with Shooting quota

Since 2010 - but that doesn't really count as only 1 medal event (mixed relay) was contested

I don't like the idea of spoilers because for major events all results should be seen and available without having to click on a spoiler, which can be easily missed and detracts from the point of posting the full results. But for smaller events, top 10/medallists only would be sufficient and there would be no need to post the remaining results in a spoiler.

I fully agree with this! This can ensure we have detailed coverage of the most important events, whilst keeping the excellent range of other events results that makes Totallympics so unique.
