I am still not sure about what format to use for revealing the results. I will post an example here on thread using what was suggested today.
Let me know what you think?
 
If you don't like it I will revert to a more simple way of revealing the results. I am not sure myself, it's a bit messy maybe

  Zimbabwe 0 vs 0   Saint Lucia  
 
A total of 8 match judges have been assigned the task of adjudicating this match.
The judges are each allocated a specialised hut which are located at various vantage points surrounding the arena where the artists will perform.
These judging huts can be seen in the diagram below with their locations denoted by letters (K, E, H, C, M, B, F and A).

Final Result and Scorecard
 
 

And we have a full house! Everyone has voted now
 

Provisional Schedule
 
 
Below is an outline of the provisional schedule. It is still subject to change as I have to analyse everything carefully in order to foresee any problems.
 
As of yet there are no match times and the days allocated for voting days in the final week may be filled with a challenge tournament for the songs eliminated in the early stages. I am still trying to figure out the logistics of everything but I just want to get this draft schedule out to you all as soon as possible as that's more important right now than making everything neat.
 
The next and most important item on the agenda that I will work on now is the allocation of judges and the logistics of that!
 
By the way, you will see on the schedule that I am planning on having a "Super Saturday" on July 25th, where all groups will have matches scheduled. That means 12 matches that day! I think it's a good way to kick-start the tournament after the official "Japan Day" which is scheduled for the day before where no matches will be played.

A simple google search would show there are many ski resorts/courses in the Uk. Its serious enough of a sport, that it won the same amount of medals India won in Rio, an event with more than double the events. I would focus on your country first, arguably the worst sporting nation, before commenting on others. 

What European Championships? There are barely any included to begin with.. 2019 had a big fat ZERO of them. And when there are, it's like 1-3 out of 20+ contests a year. As a matter of fact, based on sporting merit and interest they are highly underrepresented, but i guess in 2020 everyone has to complain about everything..
 
  

Here's a stat that wasn't mentioned before:
 
4 countries managed get Top10 placements in both Open 2019 and Annual 2020:
 
  (O2019: 3rd; A2020: 10th)
 (O2019: 4th; A2020: 8th)
 (O2019: 6th; A2020: 6th)
 (O2019: 7th; A2020: 4th)
 
Let's see if one of us can go for 3/3 in Netherlands. 
 
If I am not mistaken, the record for consecutive Top10 placements is 5 from Ireland (O2014, A2015, O2015, A2016, O2016), and Lithuania (A2015, O2015, A2016, O2016, A2017). 

The Goodbye
 

 
 
We are back in Dubrovnik, the place where it all started just two nights ago...
 
But now the time has come for friends to say goodbye...
 

 
 
It's so long from Croatia... Thank you for being a part of it.

Grand Final Moments
 

 
 
"NAFTA.
NAFTA everywhere."
"Olympian1010's Family reacts to all songs from TISC 2020." "Czechoslovak Trophy Hooray ! " "But always expect plenty from the fennec." "I fear there’s no more points for the US." "Trying to get laid is not proper social distancing buddy."
"He's a teenage kid." "Covid-19 left the chat." "Is Agger rigging the contest?" "Is there a record for most silver medals without a single gold?"
"You had more 12s in this forum than you can count."
"That moment when Spain 12 is stolen by Germany with a Spanish song."
"I'm @intoronto." "Greece wants to join NAFTA, it seems."
"Technically Iran always awards medal to Israel by letting team walk free to the next round."
"How dare you!"  

your song was great , at first listening i didn't focus much on the lyrics, but the second time i loved it and it was my second favourite after Hungary

And finally...
 
Thanks everyone for joining the party over the last couple of days. It was so fun watching how the script would unfold in front of you. Congratulations to @intoronto for taking the historic first ever non-European win , and of course to @Vic Liu and @Benolympique @Bohemia for making the podium. I give special thanks to @OlympicIRL for continued support and to @vinipereira for bearing with me in the logo-making process.
 
Special thanks also goes to @IoNuTzZ and @catgamer for giving us our only medals.
 
Of course, I am also thanking you for all those lovely messages you have left, both here in the thread or in PM.
 
Congrats to nations who made the Team podium as well, in particular my team mates @Wumo @Belle @Griff88
 
See you tomorrow for the Closing Ceremony.

We should post our national finalists in the Music Thread over the next couple of days for when TISC leaves a big hole in our lives again

I want permission to vote for Aitana on every contest from now on 

I was doubting between two songs of the same artist for this year's entry. The other option was Vas a quedarte, just in case you want to listen it.
 
At the end I chose Más because had more chances to finish top10 due to the style, but I like Vas a quedarte more and I want to share it with you:
 

Thanks @dcro for the hosting and thanks @Wumo inviting me to participate and thanks to all committee members. Also thanks @Function CR Lee initially choosing this song to represent China this year which I totally agree as it's hugely popular in China. And last thanks to all totallympians who like or vote this song.
