What a great night of darts, it doesn't get better than this I think Taylor can keep the match alive, he is playing awesome tonight.... but so is Barney....another classic maybe

MVG headbutts Barney in celebration after the doubles

England 1-2 Netherlands

Barney and Taylor are the two on fire at the moment. MVG and Lewis being dragged along

Magnificent 11-darter from Barney to tie it up at 1-1. Match will be alive until after the doubles match

Great performance by Taylor to defeat MVG... England 1-0 up.

Yes of course.... I forgot, Mexico hosted the first TISC Annual.

The winner has only went on to host the contest once so far.... Sweden won the first contest, but declined hosting rights.... Mexico hosted. Germany won the second contest, but declined hosting rights.....Serbia hosted Ireland won the fourth contest, but I declined hosting rights so that there wasn't two in a row here....Denmark hosted So there will be many times in future that the winner won't be able to host....and I'm sure Algeria will be among the top of the list of any bids (usually there are only a couple of bidders anyway). And any country can win the contest.... I don't really get why people make a big deal about the regional aspect....as we saw in this contest with both North African countries in the top 5, Indonesia 6th.... if you have a good song you will generally get a good result. Colombia were 2nd in TISC Open 2014 also.

Wow! Really interesting about Alojz Sokol having BIB 1 at the first ever Modern Olympic Games in 1896!

Sorry buddy, I am watching it on Sky Sports... I'm not aware of a live stream. I'm glad you will at least see the semis and final.... the Belgium v Netherlands clash could be a great one. Though it will be hard to top that Australia v Netherlands game for excitement.

Séamus and I are enjoying our last day in Slovakia. Going to be sad to leave but will return with lots of great memories

What a match between Netherlands and Australia, this is why darts is amazing! Both teams threatening a "team 9-dart leg" also. Great to see Whitlock playing a bit better again, he's been in poor form these last few seasons. Anderson was fantastic too. Bring on the semis

Great, thanks so much for this valuable info . You have a great memory So just these 5 more to complete the collection of TISC entries: Romania, Slovakia, Azerbaijan, Malta and Lebanon. @vlad @Il_qar and @Glen perhaps could help with the Romanian, Azerbaijani and Maltese songs.

Great work....only 9 more to complete the full line-up!

You're a genius, thanks

Thanks for the info! Another one remembered .... we are close to having the full history restored.

We are still missing songs from a few participants from the very first edition of TISC (Open 2013). Here is the TISC History thread: If anyone can help me with the songs from that first edition from these countries it would be greatly appreciated (Argentina, Turkey, Romania, Slovakia, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Malta and Lebanon). Germany were represented by Rammstein.... does anyone remember the song? And Slovakia had a rap entry if I remember correctly.

For sure, you can count on our support and looking forward to making the trip to Lithuania in the autumn!

Ladies and gentlemen, a round of applause for our wonderful host @hckosice . You gave us a day packed with fun and excitement and performed your hosting duties with professionalism, humour and good old Slovakian charm. Take yourself a well-earned rest and put your feet up with a glass of your poison of choice. Well done Kamil! And congratulations once again to @uk12points for your success in this edition of the Totallympics International Song Contest, a beautiful entry and best of luck for next year should you decide to host Well done to Italy and Nek for delivering a silver medal winning result, another proud achievement for your nation And finally, thanks to all members who participated in the contest and those who provided great company on this thread for the past 12 hours and in the days and weeks previous.... as always, I had a bucket load of laughs and spent a great day here with you all.... I hope to see you all back here in the not too distant future for the TISC Open 2016 later in the season. Go raibh maith agaibh a chairde !

Algeria grab a top 5 place at the end!

Denmark surely!

Congrats to Italy.... another silver medal after the very first edition

1 point more and you'll be able to exchange your points for an Olympic 4th place.... even though you said you're inclined not to do that

I'm going to tear this place down unless Denmark finishes with a 0 or a 12.... can't be having this pattern ruined at the death.
