Also here are some details of how the draw will take place (it sounds complicated but Parts 1-4 will all take place in advance of the main draw).
The main purpose of the draw will be to complete the following:
1. Nations will be assigned a position in the voting order between 1-35.
2. Positions 1-35 will be pre-assigned to 35 different base cities which will host the 35 delegations.
3. The nations will be divided up into 7 teams of 5 for the TISC team challenge. Each team will be based in one of seven regions spread across the United States and each team member will be based within a different city in that region.
4. These team positions will be spread evenly throughout the voting order (voting positions 1-7 will contain one team member from each team and so on.
5. The 7 different regions hosting the teams are as follows:
The Northeast (New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Burlington, and Atlantic City) Eastern Midwest (Chicago, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, Milwaukee) Western Midwest (Minneapolis, Omaha, Des Moines, Wichita, Kansas City) Atlantic (Orlando, Atlanta, Washington, Richmond, Baltimore) South (Little Rock, New Orleans, Dallas, Oklahoma, Nashville) Mountain (Phoenix, Denver, Las Vegas, Albuquerque, Salt Lake City) Pacific (Anchorage, Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco, Portland) Note: The bold cities indicate the main team base for each team, and the nation based there will play the role of captain for their team. This idea will be expanded on later but it will essentially be used as one element of separating teams that are tied for position and has a role in a minor bonus available to each team. Plus, there is a certain amount of bragging rights to be had with being able to say you are the captain of the team
So, how will this process take place?
Part 1:
USA is randomly assigned a position in the voting order (position 1-35). USA as host will be based in the host city of Orlando in the Atlantic Region.
Part 2:
Once USA is assigned to their voting position, we will know exactly the voting positions that the other 4 members of the Atlantic team will be voting (of course we don't know who those other 4 nations are at this point).
Part 3:
We then draw the order of the other remaining 6 Team Regions. After this, we will have a table showing us exactly where each team will be spread in the voting order. It will look something like this, for example:
Jury Voting Order 18 NATION - Western Midwest 1 NATION - Atlantic
19 NATION - South 2 NATION - Northeast 20 NATION - Mountain 3 NATION - Eastern Midwest 21 NATION - Pacific 4 NATION - Western Midwest 22 UNITED STATES - Atlantic
5 NATION - South 23 NATION - Northeast 6 NATION - Mountain 24 NATION - Eastern Midwest 7 NATION - Pacific 25 NATION - Western Midwest 8 NATION - Atlantic
26 NATION - South 9 NATION - Northeast 27 NATION - Mountain 10 NATION - Eastern Midwest 28 NATION - Pacific 11 NATION - Western Midwest 29 NATION - Atlantic
12 NATION - South 30 NATION - Northeast 13 NATION - Mountain 31 NATION - Eastern Midwest 14 NATION - Pacific 32 NATION - Western Midwest 15 NATION - Atlantic
33 NATION - South 16 NATION - Northeast 34 NATION - Mountain 17 NATION - Eastern Midwest 35 NATION - Pacific
Part 4:
We will then reveal where each of the city bases will be assigned to each voting position. This will be pre-assigned so that the draw doesn't take an eternity to complete. So after this reveal, the table should look something like this for example, with (c) denoting team captains:
Jury Voting Order 18 NATION - Des Moines 1 NATION - Atlanta
19 NATION - Nashville 2 NATION - Burlington 20 NATION - Las Vegas 3 NATION - Indianapolis 21 NATION - Portland 4 NATION - Minneapolis (c) 22 UNITED STATES - Atlantic (c)
5 NATION - Little Rock 23 NATION - Atlantic City 6 NATION - Phoenix 24 NATION - Chicago (c) 7 NATION - San Francisco 25 NATION - Wichita 8 NATION - Washington
26 NATION - Oklahoma 9 NATION - Boston 27 NATION - Albuquerque 10 NATION - Detroit 28 NATION - Seattle 11 NATION - Omaha 29 NATION - Richmond
12 NATION - New Orleans 30 NATION - Philadelphia 13 NATION - Denver (c) 31 NATION - Cleveland 14 NATION - Anchorage 32 NATION - Kansas City 15 NATION - Baltimore
33 NATION - Dallas (c) 16 NATION - New York (c) 34 NATION - Salt Lake City 17 NATION - Milwaukee 35 NATION - Los Angeles (c)
Part 5:
We will begin assigning the other 34 nations to their voting positions. There are no limitations in terms of how quickly team spaces will be filled. One team can have all it's team members assigned before another team has any assigned to them. It will be completely random.
At this point we will also learn who the team captains will be for each team and the city each nation will be based in.
As stated already, we will conduct part 1-4 in advance of the main draw so that everything can be ready to go for the main event,

TISC Team Challenge Guidelines -
USA 2018
The team competition consists of 7 teams of 5 nations each. Each team is based in a different region. Each team also has a designated captain who will be of extra significance to their team in terms of opportunities to score an extra bonus and who could have a role in breaking potential ties between teams in the final TISC Challenge rankings. As a result of today's random draw, we now know the members for each of the 7 teams. (c) coming after a flag indicates that nation will serve as captain for their respective team:
Atlantic Region - (c)
Northeast Region - (c)
Eastern Midwest Region - (c)
Western Midwest Region - (c)
South Region - (c)
Mountain Region - (c)
Pacific Region - (c)
The TISC Team Challenge will be held in a relay format with a different team member covering each of the 5 legs. Each leg will last for a total of 7 consecutive votes. Leg 1 will involve the votes of the juries positioned 1-7 in the voting order; leg 2 will involve the votes of the juries positioned 8-14 in the voting order; leg 3 will involve the votes of the juries positioned 15-21 in the voting order; leg 4 will involve the votes of the juries positioned 22-28 in the voting order; and finally leg 5 will involve the votes of the juries positioned 29-35 in the voting order. The running order of the relays will be as follows:
Leg 1: Leg 2: Leg 3: Leg 4: Leg 5:
Only the score of the team member taking part in that specific leg will count for the team score. If the running team member fails to score throughout their entire leg, the team takes a forfeit in the form of -25 penalty points. If two team members from the same team fail to score throughout their respective legs, their team will be eliminated from the team competition. In the unlikely event where only 2 or fewer teams avoid elimination, elimination will count as a team forfeit of an additional -100 penalty points. Eliminated teams still cannot place higher than non-eliminated teams in the final team ranking. Additional bonus or penalty points can be awarded to teams who achieved one or more of the following achievements:
5 team members scoring a maximum 12 point score on their leg 25 4 team members scoring a maximum 12 point score on their leg 15 3 team members scoring a maximum 12 point score on their leg 10 2 team members scoring a maximum 12 point score on their leg 5 Team Captain scoring a maximum 12 point score on their leg 5 Team member scoring on each of the votes on their leg 10 Fair play award (team who awarded fewest points to their own team members) 10 Penguin forfeit (team who awarded most points to their own team members) -10 Team member failing to score on their leg -25
If there is a tie for the Fair Play and Penguin awards, the specified bonus and penalty points will be divided between the tied teams. If there is a tie between two or more teams once all 5 legs have been completed, the highest and lowest scoring members for each team will be discarded, and the scores of the 3 middle scoring team members will be used to determine the tie-break. If there is still a tie, only the score of the team captains will be used to determine the tie-break. If there is still a tie after the tie-break rule has been applied, the teams will be deemed to have tied for position.

Run as quickly as you can

Sadly, you are out of breath
After a 7m dash
