The Ukrainian broadcasting has this afternoon sent a formal complaint on voting in the Eurovision-finals, according to the Russian newspaper Life.ru. The complaint is that the Russians legally cheated at the eight points from Ukraine. The Russian participant Anastasiya Prikhodko had 91 points and ended up in a tenth place in the international sangkonkurransen. Ukraine claim that there was something seriously wrong with the counting of SMS votes. Ga zero points Unlike previous polls, in which all power has been with viewers, it was this year also introduced a jury system. Each country set up with five music yndige people who had to decide as much as the TV viewers. The Ukrainian jury had given the Russian contribution to zero points, according to Vice President Roman Nedzelskiy by state channel 1, the Ukrainian equivalent to NRK. A few minutes before Ukraine should read up their points for the whole of Europe, they were the final results including SMS votes. It showed that Russia had received eight points. Voted for Norway This should not be possible, says Nedzelskiy. Without more detailed knowledge of voting rules, common sense suggests that even if the Ukrainians had the most votes to Russia, should not the total score pot exceed six points. The hanging high twelve points went to Norway, however, and Rybak. - We have just sent an official letter to the international broadcasting organization (EBU), asking someone to explain us how this could happen. Both the Ukrainian jury and the viewers voted for Norway, "says Nedzelskiy to Life.ru and continues: - But on the fly it turned out that Ukraine had eight points to Russia. Did not see the sms-figures The vice president believes that the results are skandaløse and wants an overview of SMS votes that have come into the Ukraine. It is according to him, an external analyst that handles the count of SMS votes. - Had we done this myself, though we had just what voting process takes place, "he comments. On Saturday they got the results a couple of minutes before they were spoken. - I do not know what they are doing over there in Russia. Two minutes before the broadcast, we had this amazing figure from the EBU and to present this information as our own under Points. To be honest, we were all in shock. Not exactly good neighbors This is an example of pure manipulation from Russia's side, according to Nedzelskiy. - Norway is without doubt the sole clear winner, but how did Prikhodko Ukrainian eight points from? The much-talked about nabovennskapen in the way voice is nonexistent when it comes to Russia and Ukraine. - I am very grateful for the two points we got from Russia. Well done, neighbors, "says Nedzelskiy, obviously ironic. - Strange Nor NRK have any good explanation on how this should have gone to. - Now I know not something to this complaint, and the EBU has not yet announced what jury voted for. But what I can say, and that the rules are known, are the points from televotingen, from 12 to 1, counting fifty percent, and the scores from the jury, from 12 to 1, counting fifty percent. Then add these numbers together Monday, and if someone has the same, so it is televotingen that do fall, "says Stian Malmö, project manager for NRK, the Dagbladet.no. - Provided that the Ukrainian jury ga the Russian song 0 points, how can Russia have been 8? - No, it sounds weird out. Dagbladet.no has tonight not succeed to obtain the EBU for further comment. My two favorite parts of the automatic translation are: * "the Russians legally cheated" - if they legally cheated, then where's the problem? :) * skandaløse - it's simply skandaløse.

May 18, 200916 yr Suppose the votes were like so: (Jury)+(SMS)=(Total) 12+12=24 Norway => 12 points to Norway 6+6 = 12 Azerbaijan => 10 points to Azerbaijan 0+10 = 10 Russia => 8 points to Russia 2+8 = 10 Moldova => 7 points to Moldova (10-10 tie broken in favor of SMS votes) ...and so on Doesn't that explain how Russia gets 8 points from Ukraine when the Ukrainian jury gave them 0? Basically, the points from the jury and SMS are added, then this is used just to sort the countries, then the points are assigned 12, 10, 8, 7, etc. Isn't that how it works?

Yes, it explains it perfectly...there have been several cases of bad maths over the new system! :P How it probably went: [Jury]+[sMS] 12+10=22 - Norway (12) 6+8=14 - Azerbaijan (10) 0+12=12 - Russia (8) 0+10=10 - Moldova (7) 10+0=10 - X And so forth. This will probably be settled soon...
May 17, 201015 yr This time last year i was streaming the final over a dodgy wireless connection using most of my netcheck cash on Griffith Wireless listening at god knows what time via headphones. Looking forward to watching this years on a proper tv and with decent quality.
