It's a bit tricky for sure this time. Let's for example just say we start at the top and work down: - Canada could swap with New Zealand (a nice idea too since NZ ended the last TISC, would be kind of nice if they then opened the voting in the next one) - Colombia could swap with Indonesia That leaves Mexico and the United States as the 2 remaining problematic postions. As Agger rightly said, Azerbaijan are in a little bit awkward time.... they could swap with Mexico / USA. That would leave only Mexico / USA to resolve..... Croatia could hold the key as @dcro was hoping for an earlier slot in the voting order. All of those juries should be contacted I guess and if everything seems fine then we could go with that.

Seems like we have a North African voting segment in the middle of the voting order with Tunisia and Algeria announcing their votes one after the other.

So we have the result of the draw http://www.randomresult.com/ticket.php?t=81304XXVQX Canada kicks off proceedings and Slovenia will conclude the voting

4 mins until the draw!

4th for Fiona Doyle, so close

Absolutely buddy, from what you say it seems they have a close association with Cuba so it would be no harm at all. I'm sure nobody would have any objection with that especially since the Festival of Music is for fun and can easily be more flexible given that it is in the best possible spirit you want to present this music

Indeed you have.... telepathy is a glorious thing

Sorry hckosice, I just realised you asked for 2 songs and for each jury to represent two other songs from their country. I will present therefore 2 of the 10 songs that made it to the final of the Irish National Selection which was eventually won by Enya: Markus Feehily - Love is a Drug: Gavin James - 22

Norway Aurora - Running With the Wolves It was hard to choose between this song and Conqueror as I like both but I went Running With the Wolves in the end

Done (I added another)

I'd like to reserve Norway . And since I am supporting them in the in the exotic nations Olympic thread, I will try to find something from Cote d'Ivoire also

I vote for no after the user's last response that he doesn't care about the contest.

Back for the evening session

She looked like she already recovered too by the time the camera focused on her at the end of the race

So who's watching the European Championships or am I the only one?

Thanks. Italy back with the big boys

Who else got promoted besides Slovenia?? Two go up, two go down?

Hopefully we will share in some success next time buddy rather than disaster.

Very sad moment for our sport, first time in our history we will not be represented in canoe slalom at the Olympics. We were represented in men's canoe slalom in every Olympics and almost always in women's too.....now, absolutely no representation at all, and not even close. Pathetic really, you would swear we have no natural resources in this country to develop good canoe slalom courses and programmes..... but of course we have no facilities.... absolutely pathetic

I can take field hockey if it is going uncared for

Test

I'm not sure yet if Sindo wants one thread for team sports or two separate threads. Also, I think it would be a good idea to consider multiple caretakers of the sports with a large number of events, swimming and athletics especially. This would reduce the burden on users posting results during the Olympics as we all want to spend those days watching as much of the sports as possible and not having to prepare results. That is the reason I want to create results templates in advance for every event. So it might be a good idea to allow a few users nominate themselves for any given sport and allow them to manage it jointly.... maybe one can commit to post results for that sport on day 1, another user on day 2 and so on. That would make it more enjoyable and less burdensome. @hckosice Thanks for your nice comments, I do my best

The O'Donovan brothers won gold I have no idea how strong this regatta was though
