We thought it'd be nice to give the number one fake-hockey nation a reward and something to celebrate at the bar, since it's still early afternoon there was a hope that the Slovak delegation was maybe still somewhat....awake, so to say  

Blanka Vas is being fantastic though, if anyone can put Hungarian mountainbiking on the map, it'll be her!

OKAY I CAN TALK NOW:
 
Firstly, during the first session there was a time when 10/12 of my picks were on the second part of the scoreboard and like 4 of them didn't even have points
 
@Hipooo - really good pick there, the atmosphere and theme of the song is superb, vocals and supporting vocals mixed very well, was a joy to listen to, I found out about her by accident when Youtube recommended it to me, I think it could have done much better than We Are Domi, gave me Loreen "Statements" vibes.
 
@OlympicIRL - Gavin James is one of my all time favourite artists and even though this particular song wouldn't even land in my top 10 of his, it was still enough to shine through to take the silver. I was thinking why you didn't pick "I Miss You (Paddy's Song), because I thought it was a recent release, but then saw it was from 2020. "Glow", "Hard To Do", "Cigarette Break", "Nervous" are all my fave picks and absolutely amazing.
 
@Olympian1010 @dezbee2008 - a nice, easy to listen to folk pop inspired duet, really fell in love with the warmth that they bring to the song with their vocals.
 
@Ionoutz24 - another very nice and catchy entry from The Motans. I liked "42" better, but this one is nice as well.
 
@Bohemia @Benolympique - this was the song that defied the odds and was the biggest climber in my ranks, the ohohoh part was just too catchy, a very good earworm indeed.
 
@Agger @Wumo - the second biggest climber that started out above France, but after France passed them, they climbed together like best friends to the top 6  
 
Nice entry from Bulgaria, Indonesia and Finland.
 
@Wanderer this didn't feel that you picked Lorde, it felt that Lorde specifically wrote a song that you would pick for TISC. Very very atypical from her previous releases and very far away from a pop standard. Not being my favourite song by her, it still had some mesmerising qualities to it, the piano part was top notch.
 
@Cinnamon Bun @Quasit - Ed Sheeran is one of my favourite artists, but this new album just didn't do much for me, it was very far away from the Ed that I fell in love with during his first three album releases. All I can add, is that at least it wasn't "Bad Habits"  
 
I don't know if previous contests showed that much, but I'm not the biggest fan of The Weeknd, he has some songs that I enjoy, but Canada and Sweden fought an uphill battle in which only Canada made it
 
Reserves: Mexico, Netherlands, Sweden, Poland
 
I lost China, India and Hungary in the third stage
 
Brazil, Greece, Italy, Kazachstan, Malta and Slovenia lost in the second stage.
 
The rest didn't survive the first stage, sadly. I'm also very puzzled by Colombia's success only because it would be the very first winner that I wouldn't remember a single note of

The Bells Are Ringing
 
 
It's noon in Hungary, which is the time when the bells are ringing for the Siege of Belgrade (Nándorfehérvár), which happened in 1456. The Pope ordered the Christian countries to ring the bells at noon for Belgrade when the Ottomans attacked Hungary. They knew that if Belgrad would fall the entire country would fall with it and with that Ottomans would march on forward to Western Europe. The Ottomans suffered great losses and lost the siege, which delayed the Ottoman advances in Europe by half of a century. The Hungarian army was led by János Hunyadi, who's seen as one of the most legendary figures in Hungarian history. To this day the bells ring for this victorious battle in Hungary every day at noon. The bells even ring on the national TV and radio at noon.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Word of advice/caution: I hope you quadruple-checked everything, having to spend the entire lunch break and more to fix ALL the scoreboards that are yet to come because you mixed up one thing in one result is no joy  

TISC wouldn't be TISC if after three votes, we had nine different medal winners  
 
I feel like that has happened more often than not.

Oh damn, even coding the scoreboard. Hungary is taking TISC a level higher with the professionalism  
 
Out of pure curiousity, is it possible to see some of the Python coding somewhere after the contest is all done and dusted? It'd be a great opportunity to learn a bit  

Yeah, that would be very annoying. But I used Excel and Python to generate the scoreboards, so it shouldn't take too long to correct any mistakes.
