Sneakily edited Jim's post above, Lentyll are underlined as well, in their original run they qualified twice but not in consecutive contests (actually it was their first and last entries in BJSCs 15 and 22 respectively, with a run of 6 DNQs between). As such this is also their first time qualifying with 2 entries in a row even if there was over a decade and a half between those two entries

(also just amended some colour coding and alphabetisation + N DNTN's non-consecutive run being on 5 rather than 4)

Zanmatony's previous run of 8 qualifiers was in BJSCs 141-148 and Flynnonda's previous run of 4 was in BJSCs 124-127.

Neat that Kluminican Republic's record in consecutive contests now syncs up again with their non-consecutive record, although Lentyll's record has de-synced so the overall number of countries whose record Q streak is longer when not restricting to consecutive contests stays the same - and that's a higher number than I'd have guessed, there are 52 in total, will go down to 51 if Terra Avium qualify again in the next contest. The biggest such discrepancy is #00274E whose Q streak record in consecutive contests is 9, but their non-consecutive record is 18, as they had two separate runs of 9 qualifiers separated by a 2 contest break (BJSCs 67-75 & 78-86).

aside, I also realise I forgot to post where I ranked all the DNQs so:

12 Q

10 Q

8 Q

7 Q

6 Q

5 Q

4 Q

3 Q

2 Q

1 Q

12th Dobago

(would have ranked Bøtanikkä 13th so bump the rest down 1 place if you were to count them)

14th Trifoski

20th Cheiron

22nd Baleghde

24th New Lexico

26th Altyr Muunilinst

27th Summericia

and from the other semi

5th Macromia

7th Jadakissnia

8th Scotland 2

14th Deandria

19th Jupiterdonia

21st Sandénia

22nd Freidland

23rd Thelonia

26th Zephyra Continuum

The other note I meant to add is that the non-consecutive run of 2 qualifiers for Lentyll (previously known as New Rivermaya) includes a gap of 157 contests - I'm not sure what the previous record gap is within a non-consecutive run, although I'm sure Bré has the stats somewhere!

The previous biggest gap in a non-consecutive Q streak was satisfyingly exactly 100 less than that - Bhangra's return entry in BJSC 86 resumed a streak for them after a gap of 57 contests.

Also worth noting that Dalisska's last qualifier was in BJSC 47 (they entered in BJSCs 55 & 82 but both DNQed), both Lentyll and them break the previous record gap between two qualifiers, which was held by Ben's Sanctuary (89 contests between qualifiers in BJSCs 59 & 149, with one DNQ between).

(ok that's enough stats dumping again for now)
