Team Event
 
 
I have come up with a quick team competition to allow me time to organise it in the short amount of time I have between now and the Grand Final. I will come up with some names for each team in the coming day (hopefully ).
 
 
Nations will be divided into 10 teams of 3 and 1 team of 4, making 11 teams in total.
For the team of 4, one of those nations will sit on the bench for each of the 4 sessions meaning only the scores of the other 3 nations of that team will count towards the team competition for that particular session.
(Canada will sit on the bench in session 1, Denmark will sit on the bench in session 2, China in session 3 and Mexico in session 4).
 
Teams were assigned based on voting position to help distribute when each team has a voting member as evenly as possible between each session.
 
The team event will be an elimination-based event where the scores of the team members will be accumulated for that session or quarter and the teams with the lowest combined score will be eliminated and play no further part.
 
Scores will be reset to zero after each quarter but in the event of a tie-break, the team with the highest ranking in the previous session will win the tie-breaker.
 
In the event of a tie in the first round, all teams involved in the tie will be advanced to the next round.
 
See details below about how many teams will be eliminated after each quarter
 
 
1st Quarter:
11 teams Top 9 teams advance to next round  
2nd Quarter:
9 teams Top 7 teams advance to next round  
3rd Quarter:
7 teams Top 5 teams advance to Final  
4th Quarter:
5 teams No elimination

Hi @OlympicIRL  and all dear members in Totallympics. I lost my dear mother tonight. I don’t be able to post Sweden’s votes. @OlympicIRL already know this. We will see if I will be online on the final. How much I love TISC I have other things to focus on right now. Take care of you people. 

Yeah.... Uhm... How about NO!

Every nation should have received their voting templates by now!  

TISC Annual 2025 - Voting Order & Provisional Grand Final Date
 
 
I have arranged a voting schedule for the upcoming TISC Annual 2025. Please see your jury's designated voting time in the table below. For convenience I have included a column showing the host country time in GMT and the local time for each jury based on their specific time-zone.
 
Please check to ensure the local time shown is correct as mistakes can happen!
 
Fortunately I have only had to make one swap to ensure every jury has a voting window within a reasonable time in their local time. That was achieved by swapping and . China will now vote in position #12 while moves to position #25.
 
For any juries who cannot personally deliver their votes during the live Grand Final, I will post their votes on their behalf.
 
Now that I have the voting schedule, I can begin work on the voting and scoreboard templates.
 
The provisional date I am setting for the Grand Final - Saturday 17th January. That's just under 3 weeks from now which I feel is necessary to allow enough time for me to fit in all the preparations around the holidays and an upcoming exam!

Although I am a Christian, my family doesn't usually celebrate Christmas according to tradition (although it's my birthday, so I do celebrate something that day ).
However, even for me, it's impossible not to hear this song playing somewhere around this time of year: 
 

 
I'm going to change the second song because it reminded me of one I know:
 

The United States is a cancer on the world. The biggest terrorist country, doing whatever it wants and getting away with it. 
 
 

Happy New Year.
 
I wish you many blessings and a successful year for us all.

Happy 2026 everyone!!!!!! The start of the LA 2028 qualification period, cant wait for the start of the first events.
 
pd: Sorry if im bothering anyone when i publish the long comments about the different sports results, is a hobby i have since 2018 and i usually do it only in my phone but since i change from android to iphone i lost the app where i write everything im starting to do it in here so it cant be saved in some place. But like i say, sorry if its annoying. Happy new year!!

I think if I had to choose between Porro and Romano, I would still choose Porro. 
 
He's an okay player, but... Well, Italy isn't going after Keita for no reason. 

Why, not a Romano?

Yeah, Micheletto will probably win, but I think Giannelli deserved it more.
