Yeah, a tight schedule like this one is not the most optimal for participants or a prediction manager. But like many politicians do nowadays, you do whatever the people demands. Besides, I would like to save my "go-against-the-majority"-card for a later occasion.

I would have it like our football and other team sports prediction contests where users had to predict the matches. It would be like last year's ATP and WTA Finals where you had to predict the correct set/game score. I think the bigger question is if China or Hong Kong will be allowed to participate because of the whole coronavirus?

PREDICTION CONTEST POLL Each user has two votes. Users can choose to vote for one or two of the contests. Poll closes 29/02, 23:59

1, maybe 2.

Yes, I will create a poll this weekend.

@dcro Really looking forward going to Rijeka and learn more about the city and its culture. As long as I get a bottle of rakia/rakija, I'm happy.

If both @Olympian1010 and @dcro agree on @OlympicIRL's proposal, (which it seems they both do) I think it's important a draw is conducted soon, could be this weekend, so the host has time to prepare for TAISC 2020. I would't be against giving the host a month of preparation before the "new" editon opens. Of course if the host is ready before this then it would be great. If we follow the 6-week timeframe of TISC, the TAISC 2020 Grand Final will be held in mid or late April.

Thanks I follow the event over the livestream. High jump is after all one of my favourite disciplines in athletics. (Mostly due to being a former high jumper myself in my youth.)

Bestmen didn't want to make an intro for you, so I thought this was a nice way to welcome you and Israel in TISC.

Isn't the easy solution just to sign out and never sign in again? Or you could write "mashed potatoes" under favourite sports.

Thanks for taking the time to answers some questions, @Werloc

So has bestmen ever been in a hosting draw or is this the first time? Earlier you wrote that you wished that a vote had been held about bestmen's eligibility to host, would this also apply to all future hosts? Or would you suggest that one or more former participants could politely request a vote on a host's right to host a TISC?

I do understand why some users have chosen not to participate this time. As someone who is quite new when it comes to TISC, I'm curious to know how you have solved the issue of hosting rights beforehand? Did you have some sort of vote on a host's eligibility to host based on his/her previous behaviour in TISC? Has no other previous hosting applicant shown any bad behaviour?

@RobtheAggie and others. This is a good source to see the teams for the WCHs: https://www.oasport.it/2020/02/biathlon-mondiali-anterselva-2020-tutti-i-convocati-minuto-per-minuto-nazione-per-nazione/

Harry Coppell jump of 5.80m in Rouen is not listed on WA's season lists. It's marked with an "UNC". I'm not sure what this remark means? However, British Athletics mention it as an Olympic standard, so I will include him on my list: https://www.britishathletics.org.uk/news-and-features/weekend-update-10-02-2020/ Lastly, as you can see, I still include Russian athletes in my updates and list. Currently WA doens't give ANA-status to any Russian athletes. If WA again begins to give ANA-status to some Russian athletes, it's not certain any former performances under flag will count. This could mean Morgunov would have to achieve the Olympic standard again to qualify. Nevertheless, I will continue to include any Russian athlete who achieves the Olympic standard in my updates and list. Bear in mind, my list of qualified athletes it's not a perfect resemblance of the final start lists for Tokyo.

I wonder if @Janakis and will once again be one of the last nations to submit their song, as he hasn't been online since January 2nd? @Ashton has also not been online since January 5th, so I wonder if will submit a song before the deadline? I remotely remember @Dolby might have shown an interest to participate, but I'm not sure about it?

I have a feeling you might hope to see her on the podium next year in January?
