July 11, 200916 yr Author I just know Rich is going to do an amazing job of hosting, I was really excited when you were going to host XIV. Everything feels really theatrical somehow. thanks :D I hope I can do a good job, I've had experience of doing it twice before so know what to expect but this contest is a much larger scale (49 countries) than the ones I hosted before (27 countries in X, 37 in VIII) but there is a lot of responsibility making sure that every single vote from every country has gone to the right place, and it is very time consuming what with recaps, scoreboards, results prep etc...but it's also enjoyable :D still, you hosted our spin off so I'm sure you know what it's like!

July 11, 200916 yr I'd be nervous to host :cry: Hosting a contest isn't really scary, it is hard but you just need to keep everything under control and prepare everything that's needed in good time. ^_^

I do know what it's like - exciting, but stressful when you feel sick :lol: But, it was completely different, I didn't have to sort out semis or recaps because it was quite small and I was on holiday. But, you're doing a great job. I mean - the reservation thread, when first opened, there were about 30 replies in about 5 minutes, but you seemed to update it just like a breeze!
July 11, 200916 yr I always make a 'check sum' in the end of each column summing up all the scores from each country independently, it must be 58 in every cell. I could have done an error if i haven't used this system :o

I could have done an error if i haven't used this system :o yep, I've done that there are 1392 points available in Semi 1 (due to Scherzland not voting there are 58 less than there should be) and 1450 available in Semi 2 where everybody voted...it has all been checked through 3 times, and I can confirm that everyone's votes add up to these two totals (thank god!), so we'll be rolling in 45 minutes :D
July 11, 200916 yr I can't listen to the english version of 'Loba' tbh. Don't know why :lol: Is it out? :o
July 11, 200916 yr Author Will there be ties in 14-15 places? :kink: no thank god, not to separate the qualifiers from the DNQ's, they are already separated :cheer:
July 11, 200916 yr Author I don't know whether to chart Loba/She Wolf combined or separately from next week, seeing as Loba is already top ten in my chart :o I'm thinking that I'll combine them to make one entry, but they ARE separate songs :o
