Not really. Changing literally everything to 2021 would cost a lot of money. I think there's nothing wrong with keeping the "Tokyo 2020" and "EURO 2020" names, that's how these events have been called for years now. 

@Vektor we are in one team together with @Glen and @DaniSRB 

The NHL boycott was a major issue because less people tuned in to watch the games. If the top athletes will be in Tokyo next year, nobody will give a fuck about what IOC did or did not do, just like in the last 20 years. Nobody gives of a fuck about what social media says as long as it's advantageous to host in some way, which it always will be for some countries. 

@OlympicIRL I can't promise that I will be available for the whole draw (it depends on how long it will be), but I can participate for the first few hours. 

There's absolutely no way that this event is happening. Literally everything got cancelled in Budapest in the last few days.

Hi everyone, so I decided to open a revamped TISC History thread. There's still much work to be done on it but hopefully you will enjoy browsing through it and re-living the contests.

Yeah, it's similar to ESC, it's not allowed to vote for your own song. 

At this point TISC will be the only event that won't be cancelled or postponed in the next few months.

Hungarian votes are in. I am surprised at how easy it was to rank the Top5 this time, specially picking the #1. But I kinda doubt that my favorite song will win the contest.

Really? I just thought you submitted a 1973 American song for Annual.

Interestingly enough we are still missing 9 countries who registered for this contest before the restart. 
 
        

Gergő Rácz x Reni Orsovai - "Mostantól"  
 

And lol, that 2nd place for Lithiania is a joke at the bookies. The jury will kill that even if the public will love it. But I doubt that it will be in the televote Top5 anyway, unless this will be a really weak year for ESC. 

For the "history books", this is currently the status of the national selection/registration before the new host reopens the selection.

Well, at least the contest feels completely open so far with no clear frontrunners. Or maybe I am wrong. It's not like I am good at predicting TISC, I would have never guessed that the Dutch song will in Open 2019. 
 
I mean, we don't have any worldwide hits so far. The US was merciful and didn't send Old Town Road or one of the Billie Eilish songs.
