DSFE: Champion of Champions 2016
Hello and welcome to DSFE: Champion of Champions 2016. We have so far had 11 contests take place and the 12th and final contest of the year is currently running.
There has been some changes in the rules for CofC this year, but the final aim remains the same. To find the best song entered into DSFE of 2016. This contest will consist of a bunch of country NFs followed by a second round, QFs, SFs and a Grand Final, more details about the future rounds will be announced in due course. I will be taking responsibility for the NFs and will be requesting your help for the future rounds. I will go back over the previous contest thread a make a note of all the people who showed interest in hosting, but feel free to add your name here if you are still interested or have become interested. To make CofC this year you only needed to make the final at least once, not the minimum of twice and 4 entries total as in previous years. Also unlike previous years only songs that have made the final will appear so no QF or SF exit songs will take place. For those countries that only made one final, their one finalist will join the 12 contest winners in Round 2. For those with 2, 3 or 4 finalists, those songs will all compete against each other to progress to Round 2. For those with more than 4 finalists, the 4 with the highest placed songs will take part in CofC with some exceptions. Any song which won a QF or SF will take a spot in it's country NF, that means for some countries the 4 appearing here are not the 4 with the best finishes, these will be highlighted as they turn up. Opening tonight are the NFs for countries which are not appearing in DSFE84 and I will also reveal which CofC countries with just one finalist so far this year are not appearing in DSFE84 and have therefore got a bye into Round 2. Once the QFs of DSFE84 are over I will be opening the NFs for those countries, then the same for the SFs, so hopefully we can get through the NFs quite quickly. I don't think there is any more I need to say on the format for the NF stage, like I said, the format for future rounds will be revealed as and when we reach that stage. So in the next post I will reveal which countries and entries have made it straight through to Round 2 of CofC 2016.

We begin by recapping the contest winners of 2016, we have had 11 so far and by the end of the current contest we will have our 12th. Let's recap the 11 contest winners so far:
DSFE73 - Norway - Maria Mena - I Don't Want To See You With Her - Lurker62 DSFE74 - New Zealand - Jamie McDell - Crash - Lola V DSFE75 - Italy - Elisa - No Hero - Alexos DSFE76 - Norway - Aurora - Conqueror - jackel1234 DSFE77 - Svalbard - Ina Wroldson - Lay It On Me - jag02010 DSFE78 - Albania - Dua Lipa - Hotter Than Hell - jackel1234 DSFE79 - Italy - Lodovica Comello - Non Cadiamo Mai - MiesBouwman DSFE80 - Andorra - Fuel Fandango - Salvaje - ChickenFromKiev DSFE81 - Italy - La Rua - Non Ho La Tristezza - Alexos DSFE82 - Wales - Betsy - Lost & Found - Alexos DSFE83 - Norway - Aria - Maze - Greecelove In addition the following countries are not appearing in DSFE84 and due to only appearing in one final in 2016 the following songs will get a bye into Round 2 DSFE83 - Crimea - Bloom Twins - Amnesia - BethnalGreen DSFE73 - Greenland - Freja - Young Heart - Lola V DSFE78 - India - Metric - The Shade - Alexos DSFE76 - Kosovo - Arilena - Vegim - Yugimuto1 DSFE76 - Lebanon - Oman Dean feat. Sophia Hope - Runaway Love - ChickenFromKiev DSFE76 - North Africa - Myra Sky - Hurricane - GreekFan We also have a further 2 songs which may have made it to Round 2, North Africa and Western Asia are not taking part as a combined area this current contest, but instead representing the country that they come from. Western Asia have already chosen UAE, but North Africa have not yet chosen. Algeria and Morocco have made one final so far this year depending on who the owner of North Africa goes with they may get the bye into Round 2, those 2 songs currently are. DSFE77 - Algeria - Chimene Badi - Les Retardataires - GreekFan DSFE80 - Morocco - Tal - Are We Awake - phill363 So those are the entries which have already made Round 2, but now it's time to get to business. Next I am going to post the first batch of NFs for DSFE: Champion of Champions 2016.

Here are our first 7 Country NFs, voting is not compulsory, but it would be great to get as many votes as possible. You may vote for your own entry if you so wish.
Canada DSFE78 - W. Darling - Skeletons DSFE79 - Walk Off The Earth - Rule The World DSFE81 - Shawn Hook - Sound Of Your Heart DSFE82 - Emma-Lee - Worst Enemy Faroe Islands DSFE74 - Ivarsson, Bang & Neumann - Shine DSFE79 - Aura - Love Somebody DSFE75 - Mads Langer - 3AM DSFE84 - Anja Nissen - Triumph Jersey DSFE83 - Circa Waves - T-Shirt Weather DSFE78 - Adele - Send My Love (To Your New Lover) DSFE79 - Anne-Marie - Alarm DSFE75 - Don Broco - Nerve Shetland Islands DSFE77 - Kerri Watt - The Wild DSFE81 - Little Eye - We Are The Kings DSFE78 - Bishop Briggs - River DSFE75 - Rachel Semanni - The Fog For the above NFs you must award the following points: 5, 3, 1 and 0 Angelsey DSFE76 - The Hearts - Run Free DSFE75 - The Joy Formidable - Wolf's Law Azores DSFE77 - Kika - If This Is Love DSFE75 - Fingertips - Out Of Control Western Asia DSFE81 - Helly Luv - Revolution DSFE83 - Eden XO - El Barrio For the above NFs you have a total of 5 points to allocate, you can award the points as follows: 5-0, 4-1 or 3-2 For NFs with just 2 songs I am allowing you to be flexible with your points, this way I hope we limit the chances of ties which are much more possible with 2 song NFs, compared to 3 or 4 song NFs. The deadline for Voting in the above NFs is Monday 14th November at 6pm. Results will come that very evening and votes must be sent to me via PM. If anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

![]() ![]() Nobody can overtake Alex even if they get all top 3 in the next contest so I'm counting it as a win at the moment.

Thanks to Lisa who has got her votes in nice and early.
I am working night shifts tonight and tomorrow. On Thursday I may send out some reminder PMs to those who have took part at least once this year. But I may not, I will see what the numbers are like, I am guessing the majority of participants this year will be around these parts so will probably see the thread and not need any reminders. |

Giving this a little bump. Just the 4 votes so far, obviously want much more than that. So if you've not voted yet, remember you have until Monday to get your votes to me.

No more extra votes yet, hopefully they will come over the weekend.
If needs be I will extend the deadline but hopefully won't need to. I plan on opening on Monday NFs for those countries eliminated from QF1. |

Carlisle has now voted as well. Want to get to at least 10 votes before closing the round.
Can anyone remember how many votes we usually get in the NF stage in previous editions? |

Update after QF1 and QF2:
At the start of the thread I said I was waiting to find out who was representing North Africa, it is of course Algeria, therefore Morocco have their song for CofC decided it is Tal and Are We Awake. However, Algeria who have had just one finalist so far this year need to wait, if the current entry makes the final they will require a NF. Furthermore after the first 2 QFs more places are being decided. Most notably the entry of Greece, which will be their only finalist from DSFE74. Foals with the song Mountain At My Gate which was entered by Alexos. As for the other countries eliminated at the QF stage so far, I will be opening up their NFs tomorrow night and they will feature the following 4 Songs Latvia Czech Republic Switzerland Ireland Iceland Slovenia 2 Songs Turkey Portugal Austria Macedonia Romania The first batch of 7 remain open until I get to at least 10 voters, I hope it will be soon as there are plenty of main players who have not yet voted. |
