No it isn't blocked.. It worked this time 

Alrighty, I went ahead and created a watch group on Discord. Here’s the invite: https://discord.gg/mWkeM5c
 
Myself and @Vojthas are going to watch the Marble League live tomorrow if anyone wants to join (maybe @bmo @Grassmarket @Fly_like_a_don)

We probably won’t 

Oh no we should give the orangers their time in spotlight. Who knows they may never win another event this season .

You're not reading the quote, I think. She was doing what she had already succesfully done before, just in a different place this time. It's not like she was doing something dumb, doing something entirely new or something she had no business doing.
 
So she had to stay and 'support her family' (by doing what, exactly? Chasing dreams seems a better thing to do than just sitting at home watching time pass by).

I remember supporting the Raspberry Racers last year when they won the title.  Just like @bmo I've likes Minty maniacs we'll cheer for them definitely. I'd love to see oceanics, bumblebees and momo in the top 5 but they haven't had good success actually. 
 
My top 5 favourite 
 
Minty Maniacs 
Momo
Raspberry Racers (Coz they won once if they win again it would look like domination) 
Bumblebees ( very hard to see this happening as it was the last  qualifier)
Thunderbolts
 
Special mention : Green Ducks, Oceanics who just missed my top 5
 
 
The bottom 3 I don't want to win
 Savage Speeders 
 Ball of Chaos
 Crazy Cats eyes
 
 
 
 

I just have a few ideas. 
I was thinking about having a multi sport event created by the members itself. Like from 2016 Olympics to now, any world level event (WC, World Champs, Diamond Leagues, YOG) in any sport in any category (Even para , youth, deaf, veterans) can be added. 
The best part is every user shall choose 1 sport which lasts no longer than 4 hours and should have no more than 10 event finals . So we will end up with 30-35 sports. 
@Vojthas is good in planning so he could prepare a schedule maybe. 
Even @bmo @Olympian1010 can help and anyone who is willing to.. 
There could be a registration time from which people start entering their chosen  sport. Once entered that sport can have not be entered by others .
 
 
So once schedule done we'll all relieve the games .
 
If the idea is good we can have a poll to see what everyone thinks about it. 

It's never too late to have an unofficial predictions contest
You can tell the teams
 1 You want to support 
 2. Team who you think will win the competition 
 
For specific events starting from E2 you can predict the top 8. Since it's very hard to have a favourite the prediction will be fun as anyone can get it right and anyone terribly wrong on the day. 

Yeah that's what... 
So I trimmed  down  the number of events and also important will be accessibility . In case you have time we both can divide some work and @Olympian1010 can do some too if he's willing .

I guess @Olympian1010 talked about reliving  games . Well I'd prefer Beijing 2008 but I don't think there are enough replays for all. 
Reliving any other games is sorta difficult for me since I'm afraid i won't be interested to watch when I know the results .
 
The other option I decided was having a random multi sport " games " having 50-60 sports both summer and winter. I have already made a basic plan like sports should have no more than 4 golds or no more than 5hours of finals  for individual and 2 for team maybe I'll watch knockouts only. The events must be after 2016 Olympics till date . So it can be any WC or world championships or even continental event (spread evenly like 6, 12,18 sports so that all nations have equal share of continental medals) 

A translation website that can’t pick up on certain parts of the language is my guess...

Yeah I forgot Iran. My Iranian friends said that even the numbers are same in pronounciation in persian and Hindi. 
 
The state where I live, Karnataka the state language is Kannada and it's not close to Hindi or Persian. 
 
In case of alphabets it's similar to Thailand. Exactly similar in pronounciation and order but different symbols. 
 
Vowels A to Aha
Consonants K to Ha 

Such wonderful and good news to hear. Keep up the good job. Keep it up.

@up and down For the first time in 3 months, the active cases have decreased that . 7000 new cases, 11,500 recovered yesterday  
 
 

India is a English name so they want Bharat, a traditional name in history .
 
This hearing  comes in between the covid 19 that too .
 
Among other big changes expected the mobile numbers will change the number of digits from 10 to 11.  The code 91+ will be changed to just 9.
 
 

2 days to go for the big hearing at the Supreme Court to change the name of country!! 
 
From India to Bharat

Maybe we have to learn to live with the virus 

@Fly_like_a_don
 
Actually I can understand that it is not easy for big countries to manage the pandemic. The virus hits hard. Surely large countries will have difficulties to test more of their citizens. That is why the 4 biggest countries in the world will definitely have lots of difficulties to conduct more tests because they have too many citizens to handle in their country. That is why we can see why these 4 countries (1. China, 2. India, 3. USA, 4. Indonesia) will tend to have difficulties to test all their citizens. This is hard luck.

Thank you very much for your explanation.

That's because the OBOR passed through Pakistan Occupied Kashmir which Indians didn't like .
 
And now not just China, Italy is being considered for this in Indian Media  . If Italian govt  had been little more responsible this could have been avoided in India. The first case ( apart from 3 students studying in Wuhan in Kerala who got it in January and recovered quickly)  is from Italy and it's not few its more than 500 or so... And Italians spread it to Europe and over the world. There was just 2 cases from Chinese as travel ban was in place , both had good recovery ones. 
 
In Mysuru, one person came in contact with Chinese abroad and eventually 88 people got virus but all 88 recovered .
 
But if Italy tested early reporting the numbers we would ban them early  too. 

12 have died in Bengal and Orissa from the cyclone. Somehow early evacuation saved the lives of thousands of people. 

Maybe and maybe not 
 
The Islands, the south, the north east are better with lower density and isolation. The tribal areas and large forest cover areas are safe as long as the virus doesn't enter as it is now. 
 
Delhi, Mumbai especially with slums, Gujarat and West Bengal are prone with massive population density. I'm living in the south so sorta better but things can get worse too. 
 

Kerala smashing all records for it's recovery rate and planning.... 
Just 20 active cases left in the state now. 
 
 
Among the best place on almost entire earth when it comes to covid 19 recovery, Kasargod district finally gets a 100% recovery rate as 178th and the last covid 19 patient recovered today in the district. Not a single death, no more active cases.... Wow
 
 
 
Meanwhile conditions remained in rise in other parts of India. 67000 cases approx till now. 

Are we still in discussion for the TISC Special Edition format?
 
As @OlympicIRL suggested, we could use some tournament format with group and knock-out stages, with users being drawn to judge selected head-to-head matches.
 
Personally, I would like if such format is also partially held in live format with its own Grand Final. For example, from Quarterfinals onwards, there could be a live show to decide the final bracket. Additional twist would include a provision that votes for Quaterfinals, Semifinals and Finals are collected during the live show itself, meaning the final results are decided by the users who are there at the time.
 
We could also have repechage in the live show, meaning two bronze medals get awarded. Like this:
 
Repechage Matches
Loser QF1 vs Loser QF2
Loser QF3 vs Loser QF4
 
Bronze Medal Matches
Loser SF1 vs Winner Repechage 2
Loser SF2 vs Winner Repechage 1
