Ireland would be in Group A but of course I am not even contemplating them being there for a second. As a half Scot I’m just delighted are back for the first time since 1998!

Brazil Morocco Scotland…. we go back to 1998!! Hahaha Come on Scotland!!

Iran never qualified out of their group but are in pot 2…. I know it’s based on ranking but still.

Where’s Will Smith when you want him?

I don’t think even Lauryn Hill cared.

Half-time at Super Bowl looks like a real treat compared to this

Lauryn Hill to the audience: ”Make some noise!!”

God this is tedious!

I am happy to announce a significant extension to the voting deadline. Jury members now have until 21:00 GMT, Friday, December 12th to submit their votes. This adds a full week to the existing deadline so will hopefully ensure anyone struggling with time to get some much needed extra space to listen to the songs and submit their votes Since the Grand Final won't take place until after the New Year, we have some room to move the deadline to make it easier for everyone to get their votes in

Yes I will certainly be extending the deadline into next week. The Grand Final won’t be happening this side of New Year so there is room to extend the voting deadline. Expect an update on Friday but for sure if you need more time to listen then you have my blessing that the deadline will be extended

I am pleased to announce that the host nation has submitted their votes. This means voting is now OPEN to all jury members For any new jury members, just sending a reminder on how this process works. Once you have listened to all songs and are happy that you know which 12 songs you want to vote for, send those votes by PRIVATE MESSAGE to the organiser, @OlympicIRL. All votes are kept secret until the Grand Final, so please don't indicate in chat who you voted for to keep the surprise element intact on the Grand Final. On many occasions the final vote has crowned the winner so that's why it's important to keep the suspense alive . Additionally, as well as voting for your 12 favourite entries and awarding points from 1 to 12, please submit a 1st, 2nd and 3rd reserve in case some nations withdraw. Please indicate the priority of your reserves also. I have included a voting template below which you can utilize to send your votes, if you so wish Jury members you have until 21:00 GMT on Friday, December 5th to submit your votes by private message, so plenty of time to get listening to those entries . @Erigert@konig@hoversaBR@Federer91@Topicmaster1010@Vic Liu@Agger@Wumo@Benolympique@Bohemia@catgamer@Dragon@maestro@Yannakis@Fer GUA@Fly_like_a_don@Roamingrover86@Griff88@Dnl@Gianlu33@Henry_Leon@Pablita@SteveParker@Ruslan@Bearas@Glen@mrv86@heywoodu@rybak@kungshamra71@IoNuTzZ@NikolaB@Bailer@hckošice@justony@Cobi@Belle@amen09@Memo@Illya@dezbee2008@Olympian1010 Rank Nation Points 1st Nation 12 2nd Nation 11 3rd Nation 10 4th Nation 9 5th Nation 8 6th Nation 7 7th Nation 6 8th Nation 5 9th Nation 4 10th Nation 3 11th Nation 2 12th Nation 1 13th Nation 1st Reserve 14th Nation 2nd Reserve 15th Nation 3rd Reserve

So we made it to 34 nations! I will update the table on the first page in the morning with all the entries and as the host, I will be submitting my votes some time before Monday. I will make an announcement here when we will open up the voting to all juries.

Thank you @Roamingrover86 for your gracious decision and yes I think it’s fair for you to have priority next time. Here is the official entry for India for TISC Annual 2025: INDIA
