Next stop, Denmark!
The voting window for the nationa juries is now officially closed. After an intenste voting window for the national juries, they can now sit back and relax for some days. Those national juries who have submitted their votes in time have each received a ticket to Odense, Denmark for TOISC 2019.
Unfortunately not all the jury members could make it in time for the trip. A rumour goes that the jury members, @LDOG, @KingOfTheRhinos, @titicow, @stefanbg, @Canada4thewin, @Jan Linha, @thepharoah, @Janakis, @Gianlu33, @DaniSRB, @justony and @Olympian1010 went out last night to get a few drinks at a bar. I know what you are all thinking, somehow somebody thought that @Olympian1010 was at or above the legal drinking age. They must have been drunk. The rumour says the night was pretty calm and quiet until the famous, or in this case, infamous Séamus came by. Many of the jury members were happy to see him, but as it always turns out when you're around Séamus, the drinks start to flow. Witnesses describe some wild scenes with terrible loud singing and some pretty intense discussion between some members. After some time the jury members and Séamus were kick out of the bar because many of the jury member where either too drunk or too loud. Some members went home, others continued their night out. The last the organizing committee have heard is that many of the jury members overslept which caused them to miss the flight. Usually a organizing committee would not accept such behavior, but in this case it was only rumoured that some jury members went out last night. Others have explained traffic issues were the reason for their absent at the airport today. The organizing committee has decided to give all the jury members, who missed the flight, a second chance. Tomorrow, another flight will go Denmark and the organizing committee is willling to pay the tickets for the jury members, so they can come to Denmark.
The organizing committee hopes such episodes, or more specfic, rumours of such episode will not occur during the TOISC 2019 in Odense, but from former experiences something will likely happen...
Lastly, the organizing host committee looks forward to welcome all jury members to Denmark when they arrive at the airport today and tomorrow.
