April 1Apr 1 Sorry guys, I didn‘t want to start a discussion about favouritism or something like that. That‘s not exactly what I wanted to say.I wanted to say that I might tend to send cheaper entries and people know me like this. And if I try to send something else, it might be not received that well as from a country that is not sending cheaper entries.In the last 2-3 years I found the competition fairly balanced whilst for 12—14 years when I took part I felt different.Also I‘m not that up to date anymore with new music, that can cause also bad results.

April 7Apr 7 I typed this up when I was unable to sleep last night and meant to post it before the final results started but forgot to oop. Better slightly late than never and with some somewhat interesting observations xQualification streak update (underlined nations have matched or beaten their longest streak to date, streaks that are longer when counting non-consecutive participations are in italics where applicable): 01 63 Hendinia (non-consecutive: 68) 02 28 Aeroche 03 25 Danæviia 04 20 Neliönoir 05 19 Cor Lupus 06 18 Kluminican Republic 07 9 Mothertopia 07 9 POPHub 09 8 Fljótavík 10 6 The Spodic Empire 11 4 Dalisska 12 3 Baleghde 12 3 Bøtanikkä (non-consecutive: 4) * 12 3 Cheiron 12 3 Deandria 12 3 Juranabaijan 12 3 Scotland 2 12 3 Summericia 12 3 Trifoski 20 2 Altyr Muunilinst 20 2 East Rukahavian 20 2 FARC 20 2 Freidland 20 2 FSR Rontvia 20 2 Lentyll 20 2 Lookylion 20 2 N DNTN 20 2 New Lexico 20 2 Ojnoj 20 2 Persephonia 31 1 Ajanaeda 31 1 A-Konohagakure 31 1 Bronzil 31 1 Cumulonimbia 31 1 Greenfroze 31 1 Jadakissnia 31 1 Pestolia 31 1 République d'Áskorza 31 1 Séyetana 31 1 Skall 31 1 Terra Avium xx (10) Land of DW xx (10) Zanmatony xx (6) Elëdan xx (6) Taahino xx (4) Sovarasma xx (3) Yehesi xx (2) Dobago xx (2) Hushkanukia (non-consecutive: 3) xx (2) Jupiterdonia xx (1) Harmonica ** xx (1) Pagasa xx (1) Wholune* Bøtanikkä's mid-contest withdrawal from BJSC 180 is not counted as a DNQ for the purposes of this list** did not enter this contest so may resume a non-consecutive streak in the futureThe podium remains unchanged with Hendinia's ever expanding record reaching 63 in consecutive contests and 68 in non-consecutive ones, Aeroche staying their runner-up and Danæviia in the bronze spot expanding their record to 25. Also no change to the next 3 nations with Neliönoir's record now expanding to 20 (making them the 18th country to achieve two straight years' worth of contests of all qualifiers) and Kluminican Republic's to 18. The two nations that hit 10 in a row last month both falter however leaving that distinction to only the top 6 for now - although two more nations are primed to join those on double figures next month, with Mothertopia further expanding their current national record to 9. Land of DW and Zanmatony are replaced in the top 10 by Fljótavík and The Spodic Empire - the latter make it to 6 in a row for the first time after matching their previous record of 5 last month. (I'd need to do some digging to see when the bar to be in the top 10 was last as low as 6!)A bunch of the nations on 3 in a row are now on their national records - as much discussed, Deandria finally make it to 3 in a row for the first time after getting to 2 in a row for the 6th time last month, but there are also ties of previous records of 3 in a row for Cheiron (previously achieved in BJSCs 165-167, 169-171 & 177-179), Juranabaijan (previously achieved in BJSCs 51-53) and Scotland 2 (previously achieved in BJSCs 169-171). Juranabaijan's record in non-consecutive contests is 4 as they also qualified in BJSC 42, their last appearance prior to the 51-53 run. How many can make it to 4 in a row (in consecutive contests) for the first time next month? Finally, as also already mentioned, Freidland and Lentyll both make it to 2 finals in a row for the first time, the latter now matching their non-consecutive record (having had back-to-back entries qualifying in BJSCs 22 & 180 with a record gap in participation in between).
April 7Apr 7 Dw next contest I could be back with something very POPHub coded. That's seems like a safe bet these days.
April 7Apr 7 Wow at only 10 countries managing more than 4 in a row. All of those top 6 in particular have done amazingly to survive the past year and a half unscathed
April 7Apr 7 Didn't realise my "real" first Q "streak" happened last year. It was too long of a gap so I wouldn't think that.Well, first back-to-back Qs without a gap is still something to cross off my list of personal goals! Edited April 7Apr 7 by AllStarBySmashMouth
April 7Apr 7 Oh next edition I could make it to 4 qualifiers in a row for the first time... Maybe now isn't the time for a risk... 🤣🤣Hopefully it pays off!
