Posted July 14, 201312 yr http://imageshack.com/scaled/large/163/tff4.png http://elle.se/files/2011/11/nordpolen.jpg Well hello there! Welcome back to Espen for the wonderful Andra Chansen round of this edition of BJFestivalen! :cheer: Yes yes, it's still me, Pelle Hellström, and I'm here to explain to you how this all works. This round of the contest has different rules to the heats, so read carefully. We will present two pairs of duels, for which you just need to vote for your favourite of the pair. Please don't vote until you have listened to all 8 songs. Once you have, PM me (Cal) by 4pm Wednesday 17 July with your preferred songs in this format: 3pts to your favourite song of the 4 2pts to your 2nd favourite 1pt to your third favourite. For example if it was: Aeroche vs Umiiruka Persephonia vs Kopecka You could vote like this: 3pts Umiiruka 2pts Kopecka 1pts Aeroche and likewise for the second pair of duels. So to confirm, please give 3, 2, 1 points to these: ROUND ONE Umiiruka :: vs. Persephonia :: James Blake - Unluck Kathaldazia :: Liquideep - Alone vs. Bignia - Zaragovina :: Shareen - Fire (Set This World) AND these using the same scoring: ROUND TWO Singerpurear :: vs. Aeroche :: Serena Ryder - Stompa (THE DARCY's Remix) Caerfyrddia :: vs. Kopečka :: BAO - Story of a Heart (Safura Butcher Discotits Remix) One song from each pair of duels will then qualify for the grand final in Ashton! Votes are open to all. If you are lucky enough to feature in this round of the contest, please do not vote for yourself, but if you do not feature but entered the competition, please vote anyway! All votes from non-participants will be combined into a "jury" vote, worth 50% of the overall vote! However if you are a participant in Andra Chansen and you do not vote, you will be docked 6 points from your total score. Remember, please vote in both Round One AND Two. Get voting! :cheer: Voted (Partcipants): Caerfyrddia Aeroche Singerpurear Bignia - Zaragovina Persephonia Kopecka Kathaldazia Voted (Other): Espen FSR Rontvia Skall Altyr Muunilist Eledan Sandenia Trifoski Bellamia Séyetana Batidas Kluminican Republic Ramrynia Sandebörg Cadelicia Isconia
July 14, 201312 yr I've not got a chance of making it through over BAO, but I don't mind as it is a brilliant track!
July 14, 201312 yr Voted! Three great songs, three good ones, an average one and a crap one! The average one got a point by default due to being in a weaker duel!
July 14, 201312 yr For example if it was: Aeroche vs Umiiruka Persephonia vs Kopecka You could vote like this: 3pts Umiiruka 2pts Kopecka 1pts Aeroche This shade. Finding it slightly hard to get my head around this format. I think I understand. Just ranking the other 3 songs in the first duel and ranking the top 3 in the latter one right? And does only one song from each set of four go through?
July 15, 201312 yr Author Two songs from the same semi in the duel? nothanxbye Everything is done through Random.org so don't blame me. :P Finding it slightly hard to get my head around this format. I think I understand. Just ranking the other 3 songs in the first duel and ranking the top 3 in the latter one right? And does only one song from each set of four go through? Yep, that's it. Basically I'll reveal the winner of the two duals in each round, and then the song with the most points in each round commences to the final. Only two songs from Andra Chansen commence to the final. For example: Aeroche 24 Umiiruka 14 Aeroche would win this dual. However: Persephonia 28 Kopecka 17 You would win this dual, and you would also be the winner of your round because you got the most points overall, so you grab a place in the final. The same works for the other round. Hope that makes sense!
July 15, 201312 yr So are the songs only put in 'duels' for aesthetic/presentational purposes then? I realise this is probably based on how Melodifestivalen does the AC round but it seems slightly overcomplicated :drama: Or I'm just stupid. Probably that. Gonna vote in this tonight anyway!
July 15, 201312 yr Yep, you are just stupid :D MF rules regarding duels and AC change slightly almost every year and the system used here is really the easiest one haha. Plus, wouldn't it be kewl to see two strongest songs in one heat? The probability of having two strongest songs through to the final (that would've proceeded to the final if the voting was to rank all 8 songs) is 0. :D
July 15, 201312 yr The better thing is to actually implement the rank all songs voting system and work out the results of each duel from there. That way we would see if the strongest songs advanced or some sneaky GINA got through at the expense of KOPECKA.
July 15, 201312 yr Could someone please send me mp3 links to Bignia-Zaragovina and Kopecka's entries? I have mp3s for all the other except these two. Ta!
July 15, 201312 yr Voted! Why are Aeroche listed in the 'non-participant' voters by the way? ~oop~ My song could really hardly be any more different to the other 3 in group 1 (Umiiruka and Bignia at least). Not sure if that'll help or hinder :lol:
July 16, 201312 yr Why are Aeroche listed in the 'non-participant' voters by the way? ~oop~ sabotage!!1 ly cal~
July 16, 201312 yr Author Ooops, sorry! I had even put you on the wrong spreadsheet. That would've been awkward.
July 16, 201312 yr Hmmm pretty weak AC :( The songs that didn't qualify in Heat 2 were much better! There's only one song from each round that I feel deserves to get through so praying it's those two! edit: aahh just missed my 9,000th post! Edited July 16, 201312 yr by Klumzee
July 16, 201312 yr Hopefully Tirren and Bra qualify because the final is looking really BLEURGH so far/// bye
July 17, 201312 yr Author Yeah, I'll do them at 10pm after The Apprentice, if that's OK with everyone? They'll be over in like five minutes (provided I've done everything correctly).
