Half of the songs I gave points to are on the left side of the scoreboard... 
 

Stop using my tricks or I’ll charge you copyright.

It's also the 1st time the Greek jury gave points to .

How dare you!!, now Italy is ahead us 

I had my first listening on Sunday and today I had the second one. Now I am down to 17 songs and my top2 is safe. The other positions are quite open and will be decided with my 3rd and 4th listening next weekend.

In fact, this is a tradition that has been maintained in Mexico, particularly in the city of Guanajuato, where one of its main attractions is to go around the many alleys and tunnels of the city singing along the tunas and estudiantinas.

I don't see the problem. It is legal to have a naturalised player in your team and this year all the top playmakers were injured or unavailable due to personal reasons (mainly Ricky Rubio and Sergio Rodríguez), so the only decent choices were to call Juan Núñez, who is only 18 and not very experienced against senior teams or call Lorenzo Brown. Spain has reached the semifinals for 10 editions in a row and the federation wants to keep this record going.
 
There is no much difference between this case and Dorsey, where the only connection is having a parent who lived there for a few years but was fully raised in the US .
 
Furthermore, even with Brown, who is not consistent at all, this Spanish team is quite weak after the retirement of Pau and Marc Gasol, Juan Carlos Navarro or Felipe Reyes and also key players Sergio Llull and Ricky Rubio are injured...

Czech your passports people....TISC Open 2022 is coming!!
 
 
It is my great pleasure to formally announce Czech Republic as the host of TISC Open 2022! . Congratulations  @Hipooo on your new role as TISC host. It is the 19th edition of the Totallympics International Song Contest and the first to be hosted in the Czech Republic, following in the footsteps of their neighbours Slovakia, Poland and Hungary. Thank you for taking up the mantle of TISC host and best of luck with the organisation, we are all behind you! Hopefully you will be able to draw in some of your fellow Czech users to the contest for their home edition
 
No definite plans are in place as of yet as to a schedule but it seems like the Grand Final could take place in the first weekend in November. But that is just a provisional date. This means we will be looking at opening up the TISC thread in mid to late September.
We will be following the general plan of having 2 weeks for registrations/song selections, 2 weeks for voting and 2 weeks of preparation time for organisers to prepare the templates for the Grand Final. As always, that is just a general guide and if more time is needed by the host to prepare and organise then that is fine.
 
One change I am thinking of however is spawned from the most recent edition when concerns were raised around multi-member juries and some users from those nations not being given enough time to notice the thread and help select their nation's entry. So to help ease that concern a little we will open the thread 1 week early and keep it closed to song selections, but allow people to register their interest to say they want to take part. We also introduced a rule after the last edition to help instruct users who are likely to be part of a multi-member jury to work with their fellow jury members before posting an entry too early:
 
New Rule around selecting song for multi-member juries
In cases where 2 or more members from the same nation register to participate in the contest, they must work together by private message to agree upon the song and artist they wish to represent their nation in the contest.
 
If one of those members already chose the song and artist for their nation before the other members registered for the contest, the newly registered members have the right to re-visit the selection made for their nation. All members from that nation should work together to agree on the chosen representative. This must be completed before the official registration deadline. Any outstanding concerns can be brought to the attention of the organising committee by private message to seek a fair solution if needed.
 
For these reasons, it is recommended that users from nations that often have multiple jury members to give a reasonable amount of time to allow their fellow jury members to register, as a form of courtesy for their fellow jury members. This may help to avoid situations where there is a disagreement in the chosen representative and reduce the amount of occasions when the chosen song / artist needs to be changed.
 
 
 
See you all soon in Czech Republic for TISC #19
