Yeah I'm going to do it session by session as I didn't get time to do it yesterday + I was waiting on Ukraine.

It's time for the Grand Final to commence!! First up it's with @Bohemia and @Benolympique.

Cheers for that mate, will come in handy at some point as I'm bound to make a mistake.

We miss out Ukraine who were moved to #2 in the voting order, however I won't extend the break as this gap should give me enough time to get to grips with updating the scoreboard.

It is with great regret that I have to announce the disqualification of @avlar and due to their failure to vote, all voting will be changed according.

Not sure when the templates will be sent out but it will be sometime tonight, been out all day + just needed to make one last adjustment to them.

And that's almost it for tonight. Thanks to everyone who tuned in and we hope to see you all for Sunday's grand final. And to round off the night just like we started it, here's Ed Sheeran playing a medley of his greatest hits:

And now it's time for our penultimate act of the night, the revelal of the grand final scoreboard: TOISC - GREAT BRITAIN 2024 18 Italy 0 1 Albania 0 19 Lithuania 0 2 Argentina 0 20 Malta 0 3 Brazil 0 21 Mexico 0 4 Bulgaria 0 22 Moldova 0 5 Canada 0 23 Netherlands 0 6 Chile 0 24 New Zealand 0 7 China 0 25 Poland 0 8 Czechia 0 26 Portugal 0 9 Denmark 0 27 Romania 0 10 France 0 28 Serbia 0 11 Great Britain 0 29 Slovenia 0 12 Greece 0 30 Spain 0 13 Guatemala 0 31 Sweden 0 14 Hungary 0 32 Tunisia 0 15 India 0 33 Turkey 0 16 Indonesia 0 34 Ukraine 0 17 Ireland 0 35 United States 0

And Ed will be back later tonight to play a melody of his top songs. Tonight we're emanating from the incredible Goodison Park in Liverpool, which will also play host to Sunday's grand final and closing ceremony. So let's find out a bit more about our host venue. Built in 1892 after a dispute between the owners of Everton Football Club and Anfield Stadium (where Everton used to play) the stadium can hold a total of 39,414 people. The stadium has played host to many memorable moments, including the vast majority Everton's 130+ years in top flight football, their miraculous last day relegation escapes, the 1893-94 FA Cup final between Notts County and Bolton Wanderers and 5 games at the 1966 World Cup including the Quarter Final between Portugal and North Korea and the Semi Final between West Germany and the the Soviet Union. This ground was also chosen by lifelong Everton fan Sylvester Stallone to play host to the fight between Adonis Creed and "Pretty" Ricky Coclan in the 2015 Box Office film Creed. At the end of the 2024-25 Premier League season the ground is set to be demolished and turned into a housing estate as Everton move into their new stadium Bramley Moor Dock next season. A truly fitting venue to host TISC 2024.
