City-Off: Organisational Thread

[Platypus]

Sao Paulo, Frankfurt, Johannesburg, and Taipei win.

Sorry for the rather long gap, hopefully there will still be interest in this

[big bad fab]

Hey, it's almost a case for infraction points

[Platypus]

There will be a slight change to the format, by the way. The next round will be groups of four, with one from each grouping. Two will progress to the final round of 30 and two will be eliminated.

[Platypus]

Stockholm, Tel Aviv, Beijing, and Boston win.

Second stage to start shortly, I'm about to do the random draw

Oh, I missed the return of this great survivor

I would have voted for Brasilia, Beijing, Stockholm and Tripoli. Not sure if it would have made a difference.

I went to Tel Aviv this year and it's the most awful city in Israel I visited. Little of interest there. Jerusalem, Haifa and others were better.

[Platypus]

Stage three is over! uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=154831

We're on to the final four! And of course, there will be semi-finals and a final, in traditional city-off style.

Randomly selected, the semis are...

ROME VS ISTANBUL
ST PETERSBURG V PRAGUE

..and will start soon

[Nhoj]

So Rome vs Constantinople for some good ole roman rivalry.
and in the other two cities that are great to look at, and of course both have great history too.

Should be fun
