June 25, 200916 yr quite a few new countries this month, it's shaping up to be huge! We're going to have some massive semis by the looks of things We might have to finally do three semis or something. :o I wonder if we'll turn away more entries than there will be in the final this month? I'm not sure I like the contest getting this big. :(
June 25, 200916 yr there should be a waiting list :P and seems all this newbies comes from other forums...somebody please stop promoting BJSC :P
June 25, 200916 yr anyway seems like I'm strugglin this month...and I like my reservations but not in Darin/Petros/Gathania level
June 25, 200916 yr Author We might have to finally do three semis or something. :o I wonder if we'll turn away more entries than there will be in the final this month? I'm not sure I like the contest getting this big. :( I don't know, I was quite keen on taking the final back down to 27, I hate a 29 song final it's SO long, but then again, I don't want there to be less songs in the final than have been eliminated in the semis so if many more countries want to take part, I'll stick with the 29 song final I guess we could have three semis (9 qualifiers from each semi plus FSR Rontvia) which would make 28 in the final, but people have before expressed the issues that would arise from having three semis, a la pop songs getting stuck with indie voters...maybe I could do pots like in ESC to ensure that countries like Ashton/Numayania/Kopecka and BaNG/Mdice/Cadbury are all in different semis to each other :heehee: but I think separating countries by music taste would be a tad too extreme, I'd leave it up to the randomiser

June 25, 200916 yr Just looking through at who's participating this time and it seems that only eight of the 24 'founder members' who took part in BJSC I have stuck it out til this point. :lol: They are Mdice, Kopecka, Bhangra, Ashton, United States of Russiatron, FSR Rontvia, Kylienips and - presuming he takes part - Simondly. With Kylienips withdrawing next time that'll mean there will only be seven left. :o Whatever happened to Boyan taking part in this anyway? And are Kopecka, Ashton and Rontvia the only ones to have participated in every BJSC?

And are Kopecka, Ashton and Rontvia the only ones to have participated in every BJSC? Boyan withdrew permanently from the contest before XV citing a lack of time and objections to the proposed rule changes. I think myself, Phil and Rich are the only three left to have participated in every contest - but Mdice have participated in all of the finals of the contests they've been in, so all except VIII, whereas the three of us have all fallen at the semi-final stage at least once :drama: A few like Quotosibb and Nonsuch have qualified from every semi-final to date...

Say it was placed at 51 entries per contest. This gives the hosts an automatic entry and two semis of 25 songs. Countries that did not participate in the previous contest get priority. If there are more than the limit of countries that want to take part the ones that finished lowest in the previous semi's would have to sit out (but could still vote). They're then guarenteed a place in the next contest, this would then avoid anyone missing out more than twice in a row. However it might encourage more people to play safe/uninspired. I have to say though that any more than 30 countries in the final and/or 3 semi's and it's highly unlikely I'd participate. It'd be far too big and watered down.
