What if a hostel in Slovakia was run by the Fialkova sisters? I would definitely have no problem staying there for while. I just hope they will not walk around with their rifles all time.

This I didn't know. I appreciate this information. To answer your question. I don't think Denmark in it's current situation would give citizenship to any groups outside the country, but I do so the point in your argument. Thanks for taking the time to come with your opinion on this discussion. Your posts have been very helpful to provide me with a nuanced view on the discussion of this bill.

What I interpret from reading the media's criticism on this bill is that it doesn't include a group like the Ahmadiyas in it. As you write, India and almost all of the world recognise them as Muslims, and I do understand the bill doesn't include Muslims, but I think the Indian government and parliament could have been spared some of the criticism if they had also included persecuted groups of muslims in/from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan in CAB. In short, I think the criticism from Western media is that the bill should have included all persecuted religious groups in/from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, instead of all, but Muslim groups.

@Dolby I have a couple of questions regarding CAB. 1. Are Ahmadiyya-muslims included under CAB? 2. In case they are not included under CAB, could you explain me the reason why? UN has openly criticized Pakistan for its persecution of Ahmadiyya-muslims: https://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=14658& I'm aware you have written this about persecuted Muslims: "Persecuted Muslims from these three countries are still free to apply for refugee/citizenship of India. Those applications will be dealt with according to the existing laws. Similarly, even Hindus from around the world are not covered under this law". https://totallympics.com/index.php?/topic/822-off-topic-politics-thread/&do=findComment&comment=262812 I know my post can seem very critical, but in reality it stem from my lack of knowledge of India. I don't know much about Indian politics or India as a society, so I'm curious to know more about it from an Indian's point of view.

If this is how some of the biathletes on your team have performed this WC round, you now have the chance to replace them. Transfer Window is now OPEN @africaboy, @toulousain, @heywoodu, @brunamoura, @Dunadan, @Federer91, @Vojthas, @Monzanator @hckosice, @IoNuTzZ, @Henry_Leon, @Agger, @RobtheAggie, @Kirkpatrick, @Olympian1010, @Ufilov Managers can now sell one or more biathletes on their team or buy one or more for their team. The transfer window closes when the first race in the next World Cup starts. Remember! Only 2 transfers per window and 12 in total per manager are allowed. If a manager violates the rules, he or she will lose points according to 3f in the BMG rulebook. Managers must post their team for the third World Cup before the deadline, December 19th, 14:15 (CET). For more details on specific dates and times, see the calendar in the first post of this thread.

Final Standing available here hckosice dcro ady48 What a turnaround on the last day! With two fantastic predictions in the medal matches, @hckosice goes from 6th to 1st. Is @hckosicesecretly a handball expert? If he is, it's not a secret anymore. Second gold and third medal of the year. Congrats with yet another gold medal in a non-ice hockey prediction contest, @hckosice. Solid contest by @dcro. He stayed in the top throughout the contest, and in the end, he can hang a silver medal around his neck. First medal of 2019 for @dcro. A nice way to end the season. Congratulation with the silver medal, @dcro! It is indeed well-deserved. A great last day for @ady48. He goes from 9th to 3rd place on last day. Second bronze and third medal overall this season. A good prediction contests season for @ady48, so it is deserved it ends with a medal to close of this year. Congrats, @ady48! Not the ending @tuniscof could had hoped for. He was 1st before the last day, but with not the best day of his, he saw a medal slipped away. A good contest from @tuniscof ends with a disappointing 4th place. Hope the luck is with you in another contest. This was the last prediction contest of the season. Thanks to all who participated in this and the other contests this year. We hope to see many of you again in 2020 for yet another thrilling and exciting Totallympics Prediction Contests season. The General Standings and Medal Tables will be updated before the end of the year. The "Calendar, Suggested Contests and General Standings 2020" thread will open soon.

Wow Eckhoff. From what I can see in IBU's Datacenter, this is the first time in Eckhoff's career she hits 20/20 in a race, or a race registered by IBU.

@tuniscof @toulousain @hoversaBR @hckosice @IoNuTzZ @LDOG @Vektor @Henry_Leon @Ufilov @Pablita @rybak There is a bug in the prediction design post. Please quote my prediction design post instead of copy it. This way I'm able to see your predictions.

You can suggest prediction contests for 2020 now. I wrote more about it here. https://totallympics.com/index.php?/topic/109-prediction-contests-discussion-thread/&do=findComment&comment=261340

Yes, your first post will be deleted at some point.

@George_D Could you quote my post with the third place match and final in the handball prediction contest as I can't see the content in your post? I can only see your predictions if you quote the design post in the thread. Edit: Thanks, @George_D

It seems like a fair point. Let me rephrase what I wrote before. If any manager want to have his or her team visible for all users, you are welcome to do so. For those managers who want to keep their team hidden, you can of course continue to do that.

That was my plan. I'm not against the idea of reveling the teams. I just took a cautious approach by writing every manager should hide their team in case any manager didn't want people to copy his or her team. If every manager is okay with the idea of not hiding teams, then no problem. However, managers do post their teams for the next WC round at different times, so I think many would prefer their team to be keept hidden until the deadline for the transfer window had been reached. Unfortunately, I have not created a fancy software tool which can hide all the teams during the transfer window and then reveal them a second after the deadline ends like many other manager or fantasy games can. As I write, if every manager can agree to have their team visible all the time, then it's completely fine with me. You could also decide to have them hidden during the transfer windows and then reveal them when they are over. That would probably mean you would have to post your teams again, as the "hide brackets" disappear when you post something. I think to delete the hide function in the same post you may have to delete that specific part in the HTML code to make it visible for all users. That would seem a bit too complicated for most users I would think. However, I could be wrong as I'm no IT-expert. Maybe it is quite easy to reveal hidden post for non-admins and non-prediction group members when they have already been posted?
