Can we finally ban this clown please? I'm sure that by this point there are users who left/never joined the forum because of all this toxicity. Most other places on the internet would not tolerate this. And don't give us that "They can create a new account!". We can all smell bestmen from one post so that would hardly be an issue.

Some regional qualification events have been allocated: Dressage Group C qualifier - Pilisjaszfalu (June 7-11, 2023) Eventing Group C qualifier - Baborowko (May 18-21, 2023) Jumping Group C qualifier - Prague (July 27-30, 2023) Group G qualifier - Valkenswaard (July 18, 2023)

Anyone noticed how South Sudan is more or less a shoe in for the qualification?

Still better than this. https://www.thelocal.es/20150116/qatar-handball-team-buys-noisy-spanish-fans/

Yeah, it's time for a new rule. Once sent and received, the votes may no longer be altered, even if the voting period is still on. Edit: Read konig's post just now.

I'm confused. @konig agrees with both the Indian jury who claim that two points should have gone to India, and the organizer who claims they went rightfully to NZ. As far as I know, we can't award two points to two songs, even if sometimes I would have liked to. It holds no significance in the final rankings, but people would like to know the final tabulations.

Seems to be very slow here too. Definitely the usual Summer atmosphere is very much absent. But also, memories from 2018 are still all nice and heartwarming. And since the odds of repeating something like it are slim to none, I giess that makes it another contributing factor in the apparent disinterest.

Well I've seen the Oscar-winning original yesterday from 1930. Pretty good and in many ways pre-code. Will probably see the new one for the weekend...

Well, even I haven't seen anything like this before. At around 24:50, Bruce Davidson overtook another rider on cross-country (who started 4 minutes ahead).

Bells?

Number three. But a lot of players are sidelined for these championships through injury.

One thing I forgot to mention, I was genuinly surprised that @heywoodu didn't award any points to a song which mentions "vino" (as in Alexander Vinokourov, well not really, but still). But then again, the Dutch jury is notoriously difficult to impress.

I am fairly confident LIthuania's jump in the second half is the record one yet. 19 places gained! J'en Suis La Award - Lithuania (34th --> 15th) - the nation who gained most places in the second half of the Grand Final - Passionfruit Award - New Zealand (Standard Deviation: 2.00) - the nation who scored the most consistent points - STOP THE COUNT! Award - Sweden (Last Lead: 39.0% votes in (16/41)) - the last non-winning leader -

Congratulations France for the historic victory! It was an European year with two of the big ones picking up their first victories. I am so so happy to finally break 100 points and place inside the coveted Top 10, all in one go, after years and years of trying. Thank you everyone for the points, especially @Dragon @Quasit @Wumo @Federer91 for the maximum points and @rybak @Dnl for the bronze medals. Last year I went against my friends' instincts and entered Vatra's Tango instead of Silence's Terca na tišinu. I didn't really consider going back to Silente since, but after randomly attending their concert in August I just knew I had to enter them finally. There are couple of other Silente's songs which were closely considered for this edition. Well, can't wait to tell my group that the Top 10 has finally been attained largely thanks to their input. And finally, hats off to our host @Hipooo for putting the show together and making it all happen.

Down to 10th place again. We are losing this battle to Ireland, aren't we?
