Yes, I will. Every time a manager makes a transfer via PM to me, I will inform them how many transfer they have left.

... I'm very disappointed. However, I expected someone like you would do something like that.

What!! Are you telling me you have had an affair with my TISC mistress!

Discus throw could also likely be cut from Diamond League. Daniel Ståhl is obviously quite frustrated about this. Besides, his current coach, who has been a big part of Ståhl's progress, has said he will retire from athletics if discus throw is cut from Diamond League. The main reason is that the overall prize money in discus will go down if it is no longer part of Diamond League and his coach will likely have to spend more of his own money traveling with Ståhl.

Some news about next year's Diamond League Source: IAAF (https://www.iaaf.org/competitions/iaaf-diamond-league/news/diamond-league-2020-season-meetings) "The Diamond League General Assembly has today agreed on 14 meetings and 1 final for the 2020 season, which includes all current meetings. Gateshead will replace Birmingham as a venue, as Birmingham’s stadium is being redeveloped for the 2022 Commonwealth Games so is not available to host the IAAF Diamond League, and there will be a second Diamond League meeting in China. The dates for the Diamond League meetings in 2020 are listed below. A discussion was held on the disciplines to be included in the 90-minute international broadcast window with a review of the fan, athlete and broadcast research. Further work is being undertaken on whether each meeting is able to host 11 or 12 Diamond League disciplines in the set time frame and which events each meeting will host outside the 90-minute broadcast window. A final decision on the disciplines will be made at the beginning of November 2019. The IAAF will also launch a second international series of one-day meetings in 2020 (entitled the World Athletics Continental Tour), which will provide world-class competition, top flight world ranking points and earning opportunities for many more athletes, with a focus on those disciplines not featuring regularly in the Diamond League, and which will be broadcast around the world. The world rankings system will be structured so that athletes in every discipline will earn the same level of points at their highest available one-day meeting series, whether that is in the Diamond League or the new tour". The dates for the Diamond League meetings in 2020 are: Doha - 17 April China (venue to be advised) - 10 May Shanghai - 16 May Stockholm - 24 May Rome - 28 May Rabat - 31 May Eugene - 7 June Oslo - 11 June Paris - 13 June London - 4 July Monaco - 10 July Gateshead - 16 August Lausanne - 20 August Brussels - 4 September Zurich - 11 September

It's not official yet that the national jury doesn't participate. When the host jury presents the official TISC Team Challenge format next week, it will be confirmed if and juries will participate.

Festival of Music begins! The member of the Egyptian jury couldn't wait, so let the Festival of Music begin! For those who are new to TISC, Festival of Music is an opportunity for any TISC participant to present songs and artists from nations who are not represented at this year's TISC Open. All participants of TOISC 2019 can write a post about which nation or nations they would to like present in Festival of Music. Usually a TISC participant can present up to two entries from two different nations. Remember, the same rules apply to entries in Festival of Music as TOISC 2019. Artists must be from or associated with the nation they represent, and entries must have been released on or before December 31st, 2014. Enjoy the festival!

A short announcement from the Organizing Host Committee: A flight is on its way with most of the jury members who missed the flight yesterday. Sadly 3 jury members, @stefanbg, @Canada4thewin, @Jan Linha, never showed up. The three jury members only option to come to Denmark is to buy a ticket themself. The host jury will inform the confirmed participants for TOISC 2019 at some point in the upcoming week how this will affect the TISC Team Challenge. For now, the organizing committee and host jury wil do their best to welcome the last national juries and create the best experience for all national juries during their stay in Denmark.

Well at least and are placed close to each other in the voting order.

It's unbelievable there is still no one on Team Dizzy Mizz Lizzy!

Me, @Agger and @Belle's biggest issue will be if we can understand a word of @Wanderer's weird Kiwi dialect.

Welcome to Team Myrkur, @Wanderer !

Team Dizzy Mizz Lizzy is the last team with no members yet.

Team Myrkur, maybe?

Denmark and Sweden on Team Myrkur. Can we expect Norway to join?

A turtle pretty much symbolise how long heywoodu takes to vote.

It would be great if you would.

Well Tina Dickow is a good-looking woman, so I do understand why everyone wanted to be on her.

First complete team is Team Dickow.

I can help updating the table when dcro leaves.

@Fly_like_a_don You seem interested in the draw. Would you want to be a volunteer?
