Fernando de Noronha leads the team championships with 34 points. It's VERY close though.

Natal is having awesome power-play. 9+7 so far.

So.... Bestmen was right.

Yeah, you might want to reconsider this part.

Mexico couldn't quite match it. 2+2+3.

Italy scores 6 points for the third straight time!

Another votes, anoter 0.

Lead for the !!

Well, I guess it will be a battle for LVP!

First ever points for Venezuela and Austria! Nice combo @catgamer

Salvador takes command of the Team Challenge with 13 points.

Also first gold for them!

Norway

Don't worry, soon enough I'll be snowed in with all excel files and my eyes will drop out.

12 points at 2017 Open, 9 points now... That's it, I'm changing my avatar!

Meanwhile, Estonia is now at 3/3 success rate of scoring points in the first votes. Great Britain only for the second ever time gets on board in first votes!

It's as if @Griff88 knew to come early.

Oh my, it's starting!

Italy at 2016 Annual. Scoreless in the first 3 votes.

Fun fact before we start. All winners and 26/27 podium finishers have scored their first points of the contest in first or second vote.

And here is the play-by-play of this saga.

I have some bad feeling about our prospects. Hopefully we wont end up with 0. On the other hand, I feel like will bring me some joy in the team competition.

And time for a big post with just over an hour left to the big show... 2018 Annual Jubilee Delivers an Opening Ceremony to Remember TISC-News will have LIVE UPDATES post. If you're away from home but would like to stay in touch with the action, or perhaps if you need a quick recap of the events then this might be your place to be. It will mainly feature some main big points and scoreboard updates. Now onto the stats... As tradition goes, here is the table of points requirements for each nation to match its average, best or worst TISC performance. And let's not forget the lovely Committee... I hope I managed to become more organized compared to the previous editions, only time will tell.

It's cool that they're broadcasting, despite not competing. Btw, the Czech song you entered for FoM would have probably scored points from me.

Well, must be the first time someone torched a flame while wearing a business suit...
