Poland today, found some good stuff there, a very interesting scene. Most of the songs I've bookmarked have probably been in already but I can but try. Kazakhstan is next
![]() Ps: Glad at the quick final, really want 78 to get going - I want to be in a final, dammit (Preferably with more than one entry)

ooh I forgot to say that I think I found a new player!
the next host needs to post in the main thread again about the new contest starting too. Plus I think I am going to add the contest details on my vimeo videos as I had one person load the video and ask the question, but unfortunately, as I wasn't doing recaps at the time so didn't look, by the time I answered I don't think they saw my reply? Anyway, loads of people have played the videos in the last few weeks lol, including a school (in Russia I think)?

1st is not necessarily a bad thing - Australia was first in the final of last edition and came 4th.
Pleased with my spaces in the running order - not completely ideal but not bad either.

I agree, you see I think the beginning and end slots in the real contest are a disadvantage, but in DSFE I think it is the opposite. It is the middle slots that I think people go hazy over lol

My song was last in the running order a couple of contests ago. And, it ended up as last place as well.
![]() I think I found a perfect clue for my country. I can't wait to reveal it.

I think as long as the song at the beginning is something different or strong, it tends to benefit from being 1st, especially when weaker entries end up within the first 10 so it can stand out. The middle is where the stronger entries end up so they can all drown into each other - as proven by the fact that the winner and the 3rd place were in the first 11 songs last edition.
![]() Each host will do it slightly differently so each contest, it is not necessarily the 'strongest' songs that end up in the middle (that is just coincidence to your thinking?). Besides, despite knowing what is doing well (and also in spite of it sometimes), hosts don't concentrate on popular songs being certain positions. Normally, hosts concentrate on trying to be fair on what has been in good positions earlier on in the competition etc and also being as random as possible to be fair!

I'll take that to mean I scraped through then cause I think I have quite a good position.

You do know that Christer Bjorkman is not doing our line up each time right?

Put it this way. To do the final, I added all the finalists into a list and then added 2 extra columns next to them and plotted the positions they had in both QFs and SFs. Then I went through in another new column and looked at those positions and assigned 1 - beginning, 2 - Middle and 3 - End. All of those were dependent on the song's earlier positions. I would have done this at semi stage too if I had have had the time! Once I had assigned those, I randomised each of the 3 groups to get the final order! Simples!

Simples?
Lost me somewhere about the columns. Can you repeat the part of the stuff about all of the things? ![]()

Running order doesn't really matter here does it? As I do it, each song gets rated straightaway. Plus you can go to the vids in any order if you want

I hate Christer Bjorkman, without his meddling we wouldn't be having all these people still wanting to discuss Eurovision!
Whilst I am joking, it is not just me is it - there are still a load of people out there that are new and obsessed with the new voting system and 'Poland Gate'!!!!

I think running order matters in this way: it doesnt mean that a bad song will do well if it's near the end but if there are too equally strong songs the one which comes later stands a better chance to grab the vote

strong final although i'm not liking the new trend of fun catchy songs being thrown out early
fun is what eurovision is all about and should be related in this online comp in my mind |

I also used to dive bomb my brother and friends on the sofa and get my knees in the right spot too! I know what I am doing
