QUOTE(Cal @ Jan 22 2009, 06:10 PM)  Any further comments/suggestions? DO NOT INTERFERE WITH THE BJSC. People are capable of having two parallel contests. But both interfere with the BJSC then. If I want to enter both and they run parallel then that's interfering with the BJSC to me as I wouldn't be able to give my full attention to both contests. I dunno, I just don't see why people who don't want to be in the spin-offs have a problem with waiting an extra few weeks until the next contest. |

Would you consider participating in spin-off contests?
Yes Would you rather see them run parallel with or in place of regular BJSC contests? Neither - There's 52 weeks a year, 2 weeks off for Xmas, two weeks off for Eurovision leaves 48 weeks = 10 regular contests, 1 spin-off, 1 best of. Break it up: 5 regular contests, Spin Off, 5 regular contests, Best Of. If they were to be in place of regular BJSC contests, would you prefer a spin-off to be after XIII, after XIV or later than this? After XVI and before XVII. How often do you feel that spin-off contests should happen? Once a year - see above. If you are willing to participate in spin-off contests, can you suggest any interesting themes? One word titles. Any further comments/suggestions? Keep up the good work. |

Would you consider participating in spin-off contests?
Yes Definitely Would you rather see them run parallel with or in place of regular BJSC contests? run sort of in between normal contests...should be more low key & have more time in advance to find song to fit theme. If they were to be in place of regular BJSC contests, would you prefer a spin-off to be after XIII, after XIV or later than this? First establish what the first theme is going to be, then run the competition after XIV. How often do you feel that spin-off contests should happen? Minimum 2, max 3 per year. If you are willing to participate in spin-off contests, can you suggest any interesting themes? "Worst Songs - i.e. Car Crash that was so terrible I must play that track again bad" "Cover versions" "Comedy/Song Parodies" "Live Performances only" "Male Only" "Retro themes - i.e. a track from the 1980s, etc" "UK No.2's; etc" "Film Themes" Any further comments/suggestions? No ..... bring it on!!!! |

Would you consider participating in spin-off contests? Yes Would you rather see them run parallel with or in place of regular BJSC contests? I'd prefer to see them run in place of BJSC contests, but if a lot of people don't do them, it would ruin the entire competition imo, and would only work in parallel, but my answer is in place  If they were to be in place of regular BJSC contests, would you prefer a spin-off to be after XIII, after XIV or later than this? After XIV, because i don't follow Eurovision, though thats my personal opinion. How often do you feel that spin-off contests should happen? After every 3 contests (so 3 a year) If you are willing to participate in spin-off contests, can you suggest any interesting themes? People have already mentioned them Any further comments/suggestions? I wish people'd try a spin-off before not wanting one. |

I dunno, I just don't see why people who don't want to be in the spin-offs have a problem with waiting an extra few weeks until the next contest. Sorry, I meant the schedule (such as altering it to every two months or something). I know people would have problems entering two contests at the same time. But I wouldn't like it if the BJSC was every two months. I'd lose interest pretty quickly. They don't have to happen at exactly the same time. BJSC's schedule could be changed slightly so you have more time at the end of each month to run the spin off. What you could have for BJSC is: Song Confirmation: 2nd - 7th. Semi-Final Voting: 7th - 12th Final Voting: 11th -17th The spin-off could happen around the 13th and last until the 30th. That's 15 days for the BJSC and 17 days for the Spin-off. Or if that doesn't work, you could have what 6weeksatnumber7 suggested: 5 regular contests, Spin Off, 5 regular contests, Best Of. As long as BJSC isn't moved to every two months, then I'm happy. |

Would you consider participating in spin-off contests?
Yes Would you rather see them run parallel with or in place of regular BJSC contests? Definitely parallel. No question. To people who have said it depends how high/low key they are, but if they were running parallel it would be people who really want to do it participating and it would be low key anyways, but it would mean they can run pretty much constantly without causing too much disruption. People will obviously be pre-occupied with the regular contest if it took place instead. People say they couldn't focus on two contests at once, but if you don't want to then just don't do the spin-off. I'm sure it could be easily arranged that the finals etc don't exactly clash. If they were to be in place of regular BJSC contests, would you prefer a spin-off to be after XIII, after XIV or later than this? I'd really rather they weren't, but if they have to be, I'd say let's have a few more regular contests first, because we've only had 2 contests since the best of. How often do you feel that spin-off contests should happen? Preferably not at all, but if they are in place of the real contest then once a year plus best of, and if alongside, then as many times as there is demand for. They don't have to be ongoing, they could just happen in a subforum when somebody has a good idea for one. I think they could run quite happily side by side. If you are willing to participate in spin-off contests, can you suggest any interesting themes? Various genres perhaps, but mostly they should be songs that aren't allowed or wouldn't normally be entered in a regular contest. Any further comments/suggestions? If we MUST have them instead of regular contests I don't think songs from the spin-offs should be allowed in the regular contest, since the spin-off contests would be given equal status to regular contests. However if they ran alongside, which I am all for, I think you should be able to use them in regular contests as the spin-offs would be lower key. Who knows, they could even give people brilliant ideas for entries in the real one. |

from reading the various comments, I agree that they should run alongside the normal contest as completely separate entities instead of in replacement to regular contests...therefore, people who don't think they have the patience to listen to 80-odd new songs in the space of five weeks don't have to participate in the spin-offs and they wouldn't affect the regular contest in any way
I don't think it would interefere with the 10 contests a year plus Best Of idea as contest happen every 5 weeks or so anyway, it's not like we are going to have XIV at the end of February, most probably the first week of March so if other's agree with this, we could probably have the first spin off at the end of February (around 21st-24th maybe) and then the final of XIV on 1st-3rd March maybe which would like usual be a 5 week gap between contests, we just would need to reach some sort of consensus on what sort of theme to do first how would other people feel about this? |

Yes Would you rather see them run parallel with or in place of regular BJSC contests? Parallel to start with, then in place If they were to be in place of regular BJSC contests, would you prefer a spin-off to be after XIII, after XIV or later than this? Between XV and XVI would be better How often do you feel that spin-off contests should happen? Every 3 contests If you are willing to participate in spin-off contests, can you suggest any interesting themes? All Male 90s UK #1s 90s UK #2s Novelty songs Any further comments/suggestions? Nope! |

Spin-offs would occur once, twice a year at most (along with the Best of). |

Yes Would you rather see them run parallel with or in place of regular BJSC contests? Parallel definatly If they were to be in place of regular BJSC contests, would you prefer a spin-off to be after XIII, after XIV or later than this? After XIV, so VV Brown doenst look cheap in March How often do you feel that spin-off contests should happen? 2/3 times a year maybe If you are willing to participate in spin-off contests, can you suggest any interesting themes? Not really, no. Except for ones already mentioned. Girls Aloud album tracks spin off? |

Could I make a suggestion? Could we begin by having one replace a contest (AFTER XIV, so don't say you weren't forewarned if this goes ahead) and then see where we go from there? We have no idea how busy these will be, so it seems a tad silly to have it running parallel when we have no realistic idea of how popular a spin-off will be, and if it turns out that the spin-off idea is very popular (done by a questionnaire after the contest asking if they would like another spin-off to run concurrently or in place of a contest afterwards), then we keep the format. If not, then run parallel. Sound like a good compromise?

Hold on though. Whether the spin-offs are parallel or instead of does not depend on how many people take part! It is completely the other way around!
If they were parallel then they'd be lower key with probably 15-20 people taking part and if they were instead of regular contests then the majority would probably take part anyways. |

I think you'd be surprised, I could easily see 30+ countries taking part if it was parallel. I think some people might feel left out if they didn't take part in the spin-offs, I know I would |
