I was gathering from the votes posted so far that this may have been an entry that got a good number of votes but just lacked the higher points - and indeed I see I got 11 votes but none higher than 7 points. Ah well! Thanks blacksquare for being my biggest fan + !!!, Lewis, Noche, Wardy, Chez, Jade, RFC, Frank, Jim and Rollo for the other points :3

Shame losing the three above, but happy to see my other three commiserations make it!!!

 

Also happy for Thelonia, Cheiron and few others announced :cheer:

The irony that I was going to give Bré big points this month, and vice versa, and we both DNQ :drama: Loved that one and sad to see it out.

 

Very sad for Jim too, not us both falling at the final hurdle, oops. I guess we have strength in numbers.

 

Thanks for the entertaining presentation Chez. Regardless of the result, my top five in the final is looking very strong.

Can't complain about having 12 voters (twice as many as I had last month when I qualified) - thanks Rollo for 10, Lewis for 8, and the other 10 who voted for Anthony McCaffrey.

 

Thank you Chez for the animal-themed hosting so far!

Aw no, well we have an FSR Rontphonia high points trade in spirit at least! Glad you were a fan <3

48 points for a DNQ feels very harsh :o Assume SF2 must have been reasonably evenly spread

Ahh glad to Q I had a feeling that this one would be a decent crossover success if it hit the final!

Qualification streak top 9 as at BJSC 170 (underlined nations had matched or beaten their longest streak to date as at BJSC 161, streaks that are longer when counting nonconsecutive participations ('broken streaks') are in italics where applicable):

 

01 50 Hendinia (broken streak: 55)

02 18 Kathaldazia

03 15 Aeroche

04 13 Taahino (broken streak: 14)

05 12 Danæviia

06 10 Bøtanikkä

06 10 Greenfroze

06 10 POPHub

06 10 Trifoski

 

xx (12) Bronzil

xx (12) FSR Rontvia

 

If broken streaks are counted, the only other one of 10 or more I know about is Cadelicia on 16, so that would complete a top 10 (apologies, I haven't kept track of when the next longest consecutive runs started and will probably drop out of doing these updates for now).

^ I'll get back to posting the full updates one of these days anyway x

Sad to not make it through, but I genuinely love the song I sent. Hopefully those who did vote for Aesthetica continue to enjoy Yves!

 

Omg, we did it! Huzzah!

Are annual qualification stats a thing in BJSC? :thinking:

 

I decided to just complete Zanmatony's stats from 2016 up to the completion of this year's contests;

 

2016 | 2 Entries - 0 Q's / 2 DNQ's (0% success rate)

2017 | 9 Entries - 5 Q's / 4 DNQ's (55.55% success rate)

2018 | 0 Entries

2019 | 0 Entries

2020 | 0 Entries

2021 | 9 Entries - 4 Q's / 5 DNQ's (44.44% success rate)

2022 | 10 Entries - 8 Q's / 2 DNQ's (80% success rate)

2023 | 10 Entries - 7 Q's / 3 DNQ's (70% success rate)

2024 | 10 Entries - 8 Q's / 2 DNQ's (80% success rate)

Anything can be a stat if you want it to be x

 

This is the first year since 2013 that I've had more than two DNQs oop ~

 

"2009"* 0/2 (8 not entered)

"2010"* 8/9 (1 not entered)

2011 4/8 (2 not entered)

2012 6/10

2013 6/10

2014 10/10

2015 8/10

2016 9/10

2017 8/10

2018 8/10

2019 8/10

2020 9/10

2021 9/10

2022 10/10

2023 8/10

2024 7/10

 

*the contests didn't exactly align with 10 per calendar year before 2011 so it's technically 0/3 for 2009 and 8/8 for 2010 as BJSC 21 (and 22, although I wasn't in that one) took place in 2009 then 2010 only had 8 contests

2020: 2/7 (29%)

2021: 4/10 (40%)

2022: 8/10 (80%)

2023: 6/10 (60%)

2024: 7/10 (70%)

So glad we made it to the final. Thanks & I appreciate it. :cry:

 

Alright, 5 of my votes got NQ'd, so that's definitely a record. :( And how tf did FSR Rontvia not qualify??? Bunga Bangsa does not approve that at all. <_<

Go on then :magic:

 

Qualifiers each year:

 

2015: 5/7 (debuted in BJSC 74 + have never missed an edition since joining)

2016: 9/10

2017: 9/10

2018: 9/10

2019: 8/10

2020: 9/10

2021: 9/10

2022: 8/10

2023: 10/10

2024: 7/10

Coming off a streak of 5 is pretty good for me - think that's almost certainly in my top 5 streak runs of qualifying. shame to break it by losing out by a single point but we move on

 

2011 3/4 (6 not entered)

2012 8/10

2013 5/10

2014 5/10

2015 6/10

2016 8/10

2017 4/10

2018 10/10

2019 6/10

2020 4/10

2021 5/10

2022 5/10

2023 7/10

2024 7/10

 

2018 just looks so abnormal when I look at it like this.

I can only go up from my first year

 

2024 - 1/9

 

Even that qualifier scraped through before it’s somewhat surprising increase of points in the final

2015: 5/8 (debuted in 73)

2016: 9/10

2017: 9/10

2018: 7/10

2019: 7/9 (didn't enter 112)

2020: 4/5 (apparently went mia for 5 months 124-127 and 130)

2021: 4/7 (went mia again for 131,136 and 139)

2022: 2/5 (mia for 142, 146 and 148-150)

2023: 5/6 (still mia for 151,152, 156 and 157)

2024: 10/10

 

Surprised at how many breaks I've taken actually, if my calculations are correct, I've entered 80 contests out of a potential 98? Boo I'd be hitting my next milestone next year if I'd entered every contest :(

 

At least I've had my best year yet after 4 years of whatever that was :lol:

in terms of POPHub’s track record… (debuted in 125)

 

2020: (4/6)

2021: (3/9)

2022: (8/9)

2023: (5/9)

2024: (10/10)
