Even the timing systems think the team sprint is worse than explosive diarrhea.

not gonna waste any time with the team sprint farce...
 
so...night guys...

Congrats and good luck @dcro. I'm really confident about your amazing work, as always
 
(Btw, congrats to @OlympicIRL for handling this situation. A big thanks from me)

So, once again, this is not exactly ideal. Lots of work needs to be done in a short time frame. I don't think I will be able to fulfill everything I planned (and hoped for) when entering the bid process in November. But, nevertheless, I will try to do my best.
 
For starters, I'll focus on creating some workable (but tentative) schedule. Hopefully the thread will get (re)opened some time next week.
 
I can already announce that Rijeka will be the host city. It will be a great opportunity to incorporate TISC into the 2020 European Capital of Culture program. Interestingly, Rijeka is sharing this title with Galway. So hopefully together we can make this happen @OlympicIRL.

For the "history books", this is currently the status of the national selection/registration before the new host reopens the selection.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we are going to Croatia for TISC Annual 2020.
 
Congrats @dcro . Commiserations @Olympian1010

and we are underway...
 
first Italian athlete, Noemi Bonazza in the women's 3000m and first disappointing outing...PB of 4.04 (in Hereenveen), she skated 4.08 in SLC...
 
she totally missed out on her peaking, to say the least...
 
by the way, our National TV has blocked the YT broadcast, as they are also showing this event...in streaming on their website with Italian commentary only (of course an awful commentary) and with the wonderful resolution of 404p...
 
I'd better watch some football on tv...

Italian shot put specialist Leonardo Fabbri was measured at 21m59cm earlier today in Stockholm, new National indoor record, beating the 33 years old mark set by Alessandro Andrei (1987 world -outdoor- silver medallist)...

Hi everyone,
 
This is a sad day for TISC. We have rules in place and some rules you never ever want to enforce and hope that you won't need and hope they are just there for guidance. Sadly today I will be enforcing rule 7(f).
 
 
I had been in contact with @Sindo in recent days as I felt things were taking a turn for the worst. When bestmen refused to acknowledge Israel's entry, I had to add that to the first post myself and I told Sindo that my red line is if bestmen removes Israel from the list once more or goes on another rant then he would have to be stripped of hosting duties.
 
On top of that, I have no choice but to disqualify him from TISC entirely. To deny another user the right to participate is a totally unacceptable move and it means that we cannot consider him to be a fair judge of other users and songs.
 
As for the future of this contest, TISC Annual 2020 will go ahead, no doubt about that. I won't make any decisions yet about how soon or hosting, I need some time to think it over as do we all.
 
Apologies to everyone.
 

Kakhelashvili qualified for the final Let's hope that Lamorgese will do something of smart, I think that Kakhelashvili deserve the Italian passport...

OMG TISC STARTED  

It was really a good match to watch, I think that this is the most open Italian championship since years

A giat suprise in Paris grad prix Teddy Riner lost in the 4th round to Kokoro Kageura of Japan in golden score!
Riner the current Olympic champions has not lost a fight in 9 consecive years(154 battles)

Yes, @Dnl is eligible for the contest under rule 7 (a)
 
 
Dnl is already a very active member of the community and he is welcome to compete in TISC.
 

I think his participation was approved a few posts ago by @OlympicIRL 
 
Plus it's nice to have new nations on the contest 

Give some European countries the same conditions of qualification and they would do it the same if not better 

For Italy:
- F. MONDELLI (Rowing), World champion 2018 4X. Bone cancer (terrible diagnosis  )
- F. MARRAI (Sailing), n.1 world ranking laser in 2018, unsuitable
- J. HERRERA (Athetics), World finalist 2019 relay 4x100, biceps tendon detachment
- L. BOSETTI* (Volleyball), Word silver MEdal in 2019, Right sholuder 



* in doubt
