TISC Annual 2021 - Bidding For Hosting Rights Now Open
The hosting rights for the upcoming TISC Annual 2021 have become available after the top 3 finishers after the previous edition declined the invitation to host.
This means that the bidding process is now open to all TISC participants to put forward their bid to host the contest. See the below details for the bid process and how the hosting rights will be allocated:
SECTION 9 - FUTURE HOSTING RIGHTS:
9. (a) Upon completion of the relevant song contest, the winning nation will automatically be awarded the rights to host the subsequent Totallympics International Song Contest 1 year later.
The winners of TISC Annual 2020 Canada declined hosting duties meaning we move on to Rule 9(b)....
9. (b) If the winning nation wishes to decline the hosting duties, the runner-up of that edition will then be awarded the opportunity to accept or decline the hosting rights. If the runner-up also declines the hosting duties, the 3rd placed nation of that edition will have the opportunity to accept or decline the hosting rights.
The runner-up of TISC Annual 2020 China and the 3rd-placed finisher France declined hosting duties meaning we move on to Rule 9(c)....
9. (c) In the event that the hosting rights are declined by the top 3 ranked nations at the previous edition of the relevant TISC, an open bid process will be conducted in order to award the hosting rights. This process will be open to all candidates, first-time hosts as well as previous hosts.
A random draw will take place with each candidate being awarded a number of tickets in the draw. The more tickets a candidate has entered, the better their chance of being selected as host. Here is the process for how the tickets will be distributed:
Each candidate automatically awarded 1 ticket each in the draw. However, additional tickets awarded as follows
- did not host in the previous 5 editions (+1 additional ticket)
- did not host in the previous 10 editions (+1 additional ticket)
- did not host previously (+2 additional tickets)
- took part in the previous bidding process (+1 additional ticket). For first-time hosts, they will add an additional ticket for each edition they are unsuccessful for in bidding, thus increasing their chance slightly with each unsuccessful bid. This increase will only be available for first-time hosts. Additionally, if a first-time host missed 2 consecutive bidding campaigns, then their tickets no longer carry forward and they lose those additional tickets.
