If you were with us on Saturday, we had 4 contests running simultaneously throughout the day. Besides the main contest, we held a regional team challenge, a mixed music'thlon, and an all-around competition. So without further ado, let's hand out those awards.
 
First up, it's the regional team challenge, where all 35 countries were drawn to one of 7 regions.
 
Gold: Great Lakes --  @OlympicIRL @Gigs @Agger @Memo @amen09 @tuniscof
Silver: Atlantic --  yours truly + @Olympian1010 @stefanbg @Bohemia @Benolympique @hckosice @Damian
Bronze: Northeast --  @Wanderer @Werloc @Griff88 @heywoodu @uk12points
 
Next is the mixed music'thlon, which was actually a trial run, billed as more urban and more inclusive, which turned into a success. The side contest basically allowed me and fellow female jurors @Bohemia @DaniSRB and @Pablita to play with the boys.
 
Gold: Team Stunning --  @Bohemia @Benolympique @Agger
Silver: Team Cranberries --  @DaniSRB @dareza @OlympicIRL
Bronze: Team Roxette --  yours truly + @Olympian1010 @Finnator123
 
Honorable mention to Team Jazzu --  @Pablita @Henry_Leon @SteveParker @Gianlu33 @hckosice
 
Finally, we have the all-around competition, where at least 30 countries who competed in the Jubilee and this contest had their points added up.
 
Gold: 
Silver: 
Bronze: 
 
 

As of now, the contest is closed, but the American delegation will like to thank you for coming down here to Orlando to brave the heat to participate in the contest. I'm sorry that you're leaving Florida knowing that we can't do elections right (yes, we're in recount mode here), but I think we can agree that this contest went flawlessly. Anyway, Team USA will figure out the next steps, but there's no doubt we will participate in all future contests.
 
 
 

IAAF changed their mind and reverted back to the old qualification system, World Rankings won't count (at least for 2019).
 
Under the Doha 2019 entry system, athletes will be able to qualify in four ways:
 - By achieving the entry standard within the qualification period.  - By winning the Area Championship in all individual events except the marathon, an athlete will be considered to have achieved the entry standard (subject to the approval of the Technical Delegate who will assess the standard of specific events).  - By Wild Card, as the reigning World Champion, winner of the 2019 IAAF Diamond League or leader of the IAAF Hammer Throw Challenge, Race Walk Challenge and Combined Events Challenge (at the end of the qualification period). However only one athlete can be nominated per country under this clause as there is a limit of four athletes per country in total.  - By being among the best ranked athletes on the IAAF Top Performance Lists within the respective qualifying periods (except in the 10,000m, marathon and race walks).   https://www.iaaf.org/news/press-release/revised-qualification-system-for-iaaf-world-a

Wait, do athletes of mixed relay push each other the same way they do in gender relays?

Sorry this is a bad angle, but this was the parade of nations.

With joke song, im talking about songs that FOR ME are not serious for participate in the contest, being "bizarre" in some way, the song from Tunisia is funny but close to be a joke song, the indonesian is just funny and dont have nothing bizarre (making comparisons).
 
This spanish song has a good music (mixed of some styles) but the singer is VERY BIZARRE and the lyrics are for moments dificult to understand for somebody who talk the same language (me) and dont have any sense, may be is a "methaphor", i dont know.
 
When i show to another people, i have two reactions: take of that..... (bad word here)!! or laughs with WTF is this?, imagine i have 34 years old, the people who see this have more or less my age and they listen 80s music like me.
 
 

Ah, yes, @konig can now tell us which song was a "joke song"?

WOW Steve jobs and bill gates daughters participated here , btw Jennifer Gates is Nayel's Girl friend ?

Kudos to @dezbee2008 for waking up at 5 AM and keeping everything in place for a nice contest. Also thanks to everyone who joined the thread today, at least for one bit.
 
Congratulations to medalist @Agger @wumo26 @dezbee2008 @Olympian1010 @OlympicIRL once again, and also everyone who scored various team medals. have won their first ever TISC medals, so special congrats to them.
 
Also, once again, thanks to everyone who awarded us points. A total of 37 for 30th place. At least it's not the worst ever result.

A few (unconfirmed) rumours from the Danish jury:
Small baskets have been seen by the doors of the jury members of last year's committee with the short greeting: "Agger sends his regards"
The committee was created to make sure that the most deserving song won, never intended as a selfish thing working to win the competition themselves. When a coup happened last year, it seemed very clear that Denmark had to show who's the boss and so it happened. What will happen next is unsure.
Meanwhile it sounds like the Danish jury, the press secretary and numerous major Danish people have meetings planned to consider the possibilities of hosting next year's contest.
The only thing that seems official is that the jury president plans to hold a press conference in the beginning of the next week. If we'll hear anything before that seems highly uncertain

I'm gonna need about a day or so to rest, so closing ceremony will most likely be on Monday since it is a holiday weekend here.

3 golds + 1 silver. This is what happens when you kick @Agger out of Committee and put him in a rage mode.
