So, for the next part of today's festival, we would like to introduce you to a little lost piece of NSC lore:
Just Missed Out League - Ever came 11th in the semi-final and felt like you just missed out? Well, just to make you feel better here's another league for you to feel better about and compete in. This league only includes entries from the birth of the double semi system where the qualifier positions have consistently been from 10th upwards. The closer you are to qualifying without actually qualifying will earn you more points. This league also includes entries that may have qualified by other means - either by rest jury, a PQ nation failing to vote, or host error.
The last time this relic appeared (all thanks to statmaster Sean) was NSC 95:
(unless I've missed some more recent updates)
Normally, nonqualifiers keenly anticipate the rest-of results straight after the semi qualifiers have been announced. For this edition, tying in with our theme, we want to give some special announcements for the "JMOs" of NSC 222! So, we are delighted to announce the grand return of the "Just Missed Out" Awards!
(which may lead to a revival of the League, but we need to figure out the missing editions!)
