TiBB Music Festival: Oslo 04
Contest Update

We have 30 songs (same number as last edition)! Now the editing of the Semi-Final begins.

Plus I am changing the voting system to the one I currently use for Veggie Brother finals (with one change). Every country's jury will give out 4-8, 10, and 12 points. The televoting however will be done with 1 set of 1,560 points (52 points from each of the 30 participating countries). The points given for the televoting will be based off of proportional representation, but everyone voting will be relegated to just one vote per device to avoid another TiBB Eurovision 2018 incident from happening.

[Morgan.]

I don’t really understand the voting?

[Josiah.]

Morgan, the televoting points will be like this example: Say Algeria get 10% of the public vote. I would multiply 10% by 1,560. Algeria would get 156 points.

I have set the voting form to be submitted once per device. This is due to a certain someone no longer on the forum voting hundreds of times and rigging the public voting of TiBB Eurovision 2018 in Kirk's favour.

[Josiah.]

The semi-final video is in the process of exporting to my hard drive right now, so the video will be ready to go for tomorrow evening. Good luck to all.

[Josiah.]

The semi-final is tonight at 8pm. See you then.

[Josiah.]

Slight change to the time of the contest. It will be happening very, very shortly.

[Josiah.]

God kveld Oslo! Welcome to the Semi-Final.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

Just as stated in the video, you can vote by sending me a private message as well as by the survey listed below.

FOR JURY VOTING: You must send in 1 set of 4-8, 10, and 12 points. You cannot under any circumstance vote for your own country. If you are participating with more than one country, please send all votes in one PM, and please have some differences between your sets of votes. All members of the Big 6 must vote.

FOR TELEVOTING: Click the picture below to go to the survey. You will be able to vote for the 3, 4, or 5 countries that you want to see in the final. You can vote once per device. You will be able to vote for your own country.

Voting closes at 5:00pm BT on Friday.

Good luck to all and...

TiBB, START VOTING NOW!

[Josiah.]

Why are people ignoring this? It's really sad because I've put so much work into this and I feel like no one cares about this anymore.

[Josiah.]

So far, a decent influx of televoters (by that, I mean 6). We also have the votes from 9 countries, including 4 of the Big 6.

[Josiah.]

The televoting percentages are really close, so keep voting on that.

To Calderyon, Liam, Adam, and Nicky: please send in your points as soon as possible.

[Josiah.]

Okay, voting closes on Friday, but you still have time to vote.

Calderyon, WickedSkengMan, and Nicky, I need your vote as soon as possible.

The televoting percentages are very, very close. I haven't seen anything this close in a long time.

And with how the juries have voted so far, no one has received the dreaded nul points.

[Nicky91]

sent my votes in now

very interesting, diverse edition this one is

[Josiah.]

Very true Nicky, and it's really interesting seeing the differences between the jury vote and the televote right now.

[Josiah.]

20 of the 30 participating countries have voted.

Calderyon and WickedSkengMan, I need your vote as soon as possible.

[Calderyon]

So my 5 countries cannot vote for any of my 5 countries?

[Morgan.]

They can. For example - I have UK, US and SK.

UK can’t vote for themselves, but they can for the US etc

[Calderyon]

OK.

I gathered it being something like that, but had to ask cause it wasn't specifically mentioned in the voting rules.

[Josiah.]

It's only in the televoting that you can vote for your own country, because everyone is voting anonymously.

Now we wait for WickedSkengMan to vote.

[Nicky91]

what??? you can vote for yourselves

[Josiah.]

It's just for the televote (like JESC and TiBB Eurovision 2018).

So, is my jury voting valid?

Or do i need to edit?

[Josiah.]

Calderyon, your votes are valid.
