We already have it, it's called figure skating.

Marco Rossi really is one of the best managers the Hungarian NT ever had, without him this success would have never happened.

Just because a country is rich it doesn't mean that they should spend their money on a sport event in the middle of a pandemic. It's kinda low on the list of priorities right now. This situation is a bad look for EHF who didn't call the whole thing off the moment the second wave started in Europe.

btw, is Canada confirmed to be able host the next Annual? I am only asking because I think there wasn't any official announcement in the Open 2020 thread (unless I missed it).

I think it goes against the point of Annual if we extend the eligibility window, so while it will certainly be harder to find good songs and we might have a fewer number of countries participating, I think it should remain the same. B B (If we extend it)

Just cancel it. Having an European Championship of a team sport when COVID is peaking in Europe is not a good idea.

I have been skipping the races lately but I won't miss this one.

The 5 nations are

I will make the "electoral map" between the top nations tomorrow when I won't be as tired (or feel free to make it if you want to), for now here are some quick head-to-head stats: Serbia v Canada 19 nations preferred Serbia 9 nations preferred Canada 5 nations didn't give any points to either of them Malta v Ireland 15 nations preferred Malta 16 nations preferred Ireland 2 nations didn't give any points to either of them

The Hungarian music scene had a "break" for a few months and after that nothing seems to emerge that I would send to TISC. As always, Hungarian YouTube is dominated by low quality Hungarian rap and the radio chart is dominated by almost one year old songs. The previous Annual Hungarian entry ("Mostantól") is #7 on YouTube and #5 on the radio chart, a song that was literally released one year ago.

Oh yeah, and I was totally expecting Ireland to run away with this. When I saw the song, I was like "well, there's the 6th win for Ireland". It's a mainstream song, but not too mainstream, and it proved to be quite effective at winning popularity contests like the Oscars, but I guess the forum wasn't feeling it that much.

Congrats to Serbia and Malta for making TISC history, first ever Slavic win and the first small nation to reach the podium! And I would like to thank the few who voted for us this time. I guess it's back to the drawing board for us to figure out what works at TISC. Not sure what to expect from us next time because there are only a few viable options for Annual thanks to COVID. Hopefully our former ESC national competition will give us something to work with.

237 is the second highest score ever behind Zombie.

Ireland needs more than 2 points from Malta to take the bronze, otherwise Malta wins it. Ireland can also win the silver if it gets 12 points while Canada doesn't get any.

If Malta doesn't get 11 or 12 points from Mexico, Ireland officially wins the bronze.

Canada now has more points than what they finished with in the previous edition.

btw, you shouldn't use my votes to predict the winner, this is the second time in a row that I didn't even have the winner among my reserves. Well, this time I didn't even have the runner-up there (if Canada will be the runner-up). On my debut I gave two points to Netherlands when they won, I guess they got lucky.

"Once again..." I thought that it would instantly give it away after I mention it because @dcro just posted the title of the movie a few minutes ago.

(I gave you a small hint in my previous post.)

Once again, it's time to play the guessing game of "who's getting the 12 points?" Spoiler: It's not Hungary.

HUNGARY Israel 11 Czech Republic 10 Slovenia 9 Portugal 8 Lithuania 7 Croatia 6 Denmark 5 United States 4 Egypt 3 Malta 2 China 1
