Wrestling Quotas from the U23 PanAmerican Championship: 8 per class and gender. Considerations:
 
- Paraguay qualifies 1 place in each gender and class if they sent an athlete to the qualifier only, regardless of the athlete result.
 
- 2 WildCards for every discipline (meaning 2 in greco, 2 for womens and 2 for mens freestyle). WC to weight classes with less than 8 athletes in the qualifier. In case this doesnt happen, WC goes to a weight when we dont have a  athlete or a weight with the less amount of athletes.

Well I didn't see this coming but eh world boxing have gotten rid of men's flyweight!!!!!
Non Olympics weights are now 50kg, 75kg and 85kg for the men and 48kg, 80kg and 80+kg for the women. I think it is good news that they haven't added womens heavyweight but men's flyweight being gone is a shocker especially for "smaller" nations. In Rio like we had both 49 and 52kg below 56kg but now flyweight is gone completely. I mean it is tricky to have 10 weightclasses and then have only 7 for the Olympics and for both the 10 and the 7 to be evenly spaced out but like im very surprised that its flyweight thats gone and not one of 55,60,65kg.
To be honest selfishly from an Irish perspective at least for this cycle I don't hate it but flyweight was one of the most competitive divisions so it being gone will hurt the weaker (well i couldn't make the small joke twice) boxing countries.
 
Just for context the Paris weights were (M51, M57, M63.5, M71, M80, M92 and M92+ and then W50, W54, W57, W60, W66, W75)

so, the  Buenos Aires stage is over
 
 and  dominated the rifle and pistol division with 5 and 4 gold medals respectively, meanwhile the  were the best in shotgun shooting with 2 gold medals
 
now the World Cup travels to  Lima, where starting from next Tuesday all the rifle, pistol and shotgun specialists will all be on stage once again

Another medal?, WTF???

home field advantage? 
 
I'm joking, but really, this is a very difficult range...being used to it, it's surely an advantage

Were you scouting interesting new countries to join TISC?

I am back from my travels in Asia and I am glad to see the contest has found a new host in @Wanderer. I will try to be more active on the forum than I have been in the past few months and hopefully can help out if needed.

Historical results for us.

Yes, that's what I meant  
 
If it was a country-wide thing, one would assume all users from the country would have the same issue...odd, I'm very curious what will one day turn out to have been/be the problem.

agree

But that wouldn't explain one Argentinian user being unable to connect, while another had no issue (@konig), would it? Unless the latter might have been using a VPN maybe?

I'm in tears, finally I have access after months. For some reason I can only enter the site from my phone. Surely it must be a problem with my home internet connection. 

Totallympics wont and cant die. 14 years old tradition, with established users, Sindo wont give up, i'm sure.
Same drop in posts happened after London, after Rio, after Tokyo.
Nothing to worry about.
Totallympics is strong as it ever was.

I expect some decency after Paris 2024 travesty.
Nothing more.
Paris will always be remembered (at least for many people) as lowest point of oppenings in recent history.

Mid May, end May, June, we will take whenever 

Hi, I am sorry I was unexpectedly busy in the recent period, but if I am willing to host Annual addition with Finale mid May if that is still okay with you guys.

As some of you pointed out, there are some alternatives to one person hosting in a "real" venue.
 
Before @Cobi volunteered, I was thinking maybe we could use his template to collect the votes in a spreadsheet hosted in the cloud.
Then 2-3 could verify validate the forms are complete (including reserves), and said persons (or another volunteers) could also help with trnasforming the votes into templates/scoreboards.
 
I myself could research if there's a somewhat easy form to make/transform the info into GIF or dinamic templates; in any case I also volunteer to help.
 
As @Sindo said, we should look for the bright part. Maybe this could be the start of a new stage for TISC.

I think this is the best alternative, if not the only one, to make it happen this season. As I said before, I am open to help collecting the votes and preparing the templates and scoreboard.

Like Sindo said, post Olympic year is always tough as nothing really happens so there's no real motivation for people to be on the forum so the lack of action should probably be expected. 
 
Regarding the prediction contests, if people are OK with it I don't mind stepping up and hosting them in Wumo's absence. I might need some help with the table templates and all that technical stuff but other than that I should be all good.
