Grand Final: Our Venue
 
Happy TISC Everyone! With voting, draws, and the opening ceremony out of the way it's nearly time for the Grand Final. Of course, we'll need a venue for the festivites. Unlike the draw, I knew from the begging which venue I'd choose. I remember seeing gorgeous nature camera shots of it on the local news growing up and I've been fascinated by it over since. Reaching the venue won't be too easy for juries, however. They'll need to catch a ferry out of Long Beach to the island of Santa Catalina. It is one of the Channel Islands located off the coast of Southern California.  The island's main center of population is Avalon. The use of motor vehicles is very restricted, so juries will travel to the venue by golf cart or bike once on the island. Thankfully, our venue is located conveniently right near the harbor. I present the: Catalina Casino.
 

 
This nearly 100 year old venue has withstood the ever changing landscape of California and Catalina. Completed in 1929, it houses a theatre on the bottom, and a large rounded ballroom on the top. It is heavily influenced by the Art Deco movement. The theatre will host the main section of the Grand Final, with the ballroom being utilized as a socialization/snacks area. You can find a picture of the ballroom below, along with links a gallery covering the theatre.

Apparently  San Marino was awarded a penalty kick in the 98th minute against Finland.

Chad did it!
 
Very impressive given they were only the 6th seeds and played most of the matches as underdogs.

has qualified in archery (mixed team recurve)

It is. You'll have to wait for the startlists themselves.

But that means one athlete will qualify one place, not that there is a limit to how many a nation can qualify.

Groups D/E -
Group F -
Group G -
Overall -
 
Not much drama is happening here. Lebanon is close enough to Syria in the Group F to make a threat. South Korea may be able to catch up with Thailand in the Group G.
 
Everyone else is pretty much fixed, even Luxembourg in the overall rankings.

Results are in from Montelibretti and the South African eventing competitions from the weekend...
 
Overall there are no big implications for the rankings, except in the Group F. Jessica George won the event in South Africa and now tops the Group F rankings, however South Africa will still have only one starter as Noor Slaoui did enough in Montelibretti to overtake Alexandra Munn on tie-break.
 
Tough luck for Usman Khan who was in for the whole year, basically, but ends up as only the second reserve following an elimination in Montelibretti.
 
History for Morocco as never before they had qualified in eventing.

As there are no more events in Europe, these individual quotas are effectively confirmed now:
Group A -
Group B -
Group C - @Vektor
Group F -
Group G -
Overall -

And hopefully Zimbabwe won the women's just to make sure hosting the event didn't go to waste.

If Finland gains a team, then Ireland stands to get an individual reallocation. If it goes to Portugal, then Italy would profit.
 
Other than that, battle for the individual quotas is mostly decided. Only will likely overtake both by the end while will do everything to try to overtake .

Group F team quota is almost certainly getting reallocated to a composite team. Current ranking (sum of the top 3 riders' rankings) is as follows:
 
261
273
352
397
430
476
 
Finland though has a lot of room to improve, more so than Portugal.

So it looks like relay in Nordic Combined was excluded from the programme, Team sprint instead

Can't believe sailing is still awarding free quotas after what happened to the Tunisian 49er FX crew after they competed for free in Tokyo...
