I'm glad that I qualified again, but I'm sad that I have to work my way back up the top again

Omg the tension :drama:

I guess if I got the least votes out of 19th/20th/21st, my voters must've given me higher points for me to reach the same mark? So the odds aren't too bad here's hoping

 

Nervous :cry:

Yay! A qualification! Literally been 84 years.

 

Thanks for the votes, y'all! ^_^

Triangledonia was sad but expected. St. Burbia so close though :(

Oh wow, I really didn't think my song would make it through because it's very subtle and was right at the bottom. I'm glad people have liked it enough though because I find it quite beautiful. Iz, I'm surprised it isn't up your stree actually!

I'm glad Ella has found a few fans :cheer:

 

Although i'm disappointed that some of the worst songs from the semi have qualified over it, but hey thats BJSC.

 

 

Oh and while we're on the subject of tie breaks and the rules...

 

There's nothing about rounding in the rules when it comes to points and applying deductions and there never has been. The semi final 1 result of 20=41.3 and 21=41 is correct. The only time a deducted song should be involved in a tie break is where it's an integer and not a decimal.

Jazz Carry on style instrumentals will eventually become a thing here, one step at a time ;o

I'm not even a big fan of jazz, but I've loved that track since I first heard it nearly 40 years ago.

Shame to DNQ I suppose but roll on BJSC 84 :D

yeah sorting by 12,10,8 etc instead of total votes does indeed mean BIGNIA qualify :cheer:

 

before i reveal the poor country that misses out instead, can someone clarify the rules on late voting? do i have to apply a 33% deduction to anyone who voted past midnight even if it was only a few minutes? i was under the impression that late voting was only 15%~

Going by what Yu said earlier:

 

Incorrect. A deduction of 15% only applies if the deadline was announced and extended prior to the closure of the original deadline. In this case where this scenario did not occur, the unfortunate Republic of Adonia will occur a penalisation of the full 33%.

 

I guess a deadline is a deadline if you're sticking to that even if it was only a few minutes.

 

Eeeeek at the tension though! Semi 2 nervousness ensues!

And I thought X Factor really dragged out the reveal of their results :lol:

Triangledonia had one of the most interesting songs this competition!!

 

Shouldn't have DNQd.

💖 AVALONIA

 

*.* First time ever that we've actually managed to qualify twice in a row in the main contest. Slay for me Joy.

Yah well you also deserved to qualify tbh as it's a good song.

sorry i'm traveling in Italy at the moment, hence the slow response times~

 

SF2~

it's Singerpurear isn't it - we always have controversial Q/DNQ, some we win some we lose :lol:

 

On the plus side, all our faves got through bar one lovely ballad who was deducted.
