ESC UNITED FORUM RANKING GAME 2025 - Round 8 deadline 21/03 23:59 CET

[Sean]

Hello again everyone and welcome to the 2025 edition of the forum ranking game!

A brief synopsis of the rules is below, but the full rules can be found in the spoiler tag below!

Vote in this thread
Clearly state the country you are voting from - we will check IPs!
STRICTLY ONE SET OF VOTES PER IP ADDRESS

YOU CANNOT VOTE FOR YOUR OWN COUNTRY IF ITS SONG IS REVEALED

ANY FRAUDULENT OR SUSPICIOUS VOTES WILL NOT BE COUNTED, WITHOUT WARNING OR NOTICE OF INELIGIBILITY. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE YOUR VOTES ARE VALID AND ACCURATE.

Full rules:

1. Please vote for your favourite songs using the standard Eurovision points system (12 - 10 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1). In any rounds with less than 10 eligible songs, omit the lowest points as necessary. If you are using flags in your post then you must also clearly state the name of the country and ensure the correct flag is used to avoid confusion or errors. You may present the votes how you wish but the points and receiving countries must be clear. Any incomplete set of votes will not be counted, even in part.

2. Please post your votes in this thread publicly. ONLY votes that are posted in this thread will count towards the weekly results. Therefore, only registered forum members may vote in the game.

3. IF YOU LIVE IN A COMPETING COUNTRY, YOU CANNOT VOTE FOR YOUR OWN COUNTRY! We will verify your IP and can also identify when a proxy is being used, and none of your points will be counted if you fail to submit a valid set of points. If your country is one of the first eleven countries to reveal their entry, please omit the lower points as appropriate.

4. When posting your votes you must CLEARLY indicate which country you are voting from. We will not count your votes if you fail to do so, and you will not be advised that this is the case, so you need to ensure your posted votes are valid.

5. Each round lasts 7 days, with each round deadline set on Fridays at 23:59 CET. This will allow the majority of national finalist winners their fair chance in each new week. All points will be reset to 0 at this point, so you must post your votes once more to count for the following round. You may begin voting in a new round as soon as the clock ticks into the Saturday. The weekly result will be posted by the end of Sunday here.

6. To reflect the unpredictable nature of countries revealing their entries, songs will immediately become eligible for voting once they are confirmed for Eurovision 2025 (to clarify - confirmed by the EBU or Eurovision.tv as representing the country). Eligible entries will be updated live in the first post.

7. Should you need to change your votes to reflect new entries in any given round, please re-post them and clearly mark *AMENDED VOTES* at the top of your post. Failure to do so will result in your changed votes not being counted.

8. We will check every single vote to ensure that they are legitimate and keep cheating to a minimum. However we reserve the right to not count your votes - without warning - in the weekly total if we feel they're fraudulent. Please make sure your votes are accurate and eligible before submitting.

9. STRICTLY ONE VOTE PER IP ADDRESS. Yes, you may have a friend or relative who is voting from the same household but it is impossible for us to verify that, therefore we have no other choice but to enforce this rule to reduce the risk of fraudulent voting.

You have to write the names of the countries next to their flags. Otherwise, your amazing points won't count

I didn't know that! Is this a new rule? Anyway, thank you!

You're welcome.

It's part of rule #1

If you are using flags in your post then you must also clearly state the name of the country

That rule had been applied when Sean run the game last year as well (probably also 2023 but I can't remember it right now).

Oops, I ignored it too... Lots of votes may have been lost?

As passionate supporters of Italian music, we are moved by the powerful resonance of Giorgia's song "La Cura per me". It’s a noteworthy piece filled with emotion and profound meaning that deserves global recognition. Carrying the legacy of being one of the most celebrated voices in Italian music, Giorgia's participation in "Una Voce per San Marino 2025" is not only a celebration of her incredible career but an opportunity to share the emotions her music emanates with a wider audience, like the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel. Giorgia, with her exceptional talent, has made substantial contributions to Italian music over the years. She has the potential to establish a significant impression on an international stage like San Marino, thereby broadening the reach and impact of Italian music. Showcase your support for Giorgia and Italian music; sign this petition to champion the idea of Giorgia bringing "La Cura per me" to "Una Voce per San Marino 2025".

@Sean Thanks for your work aorund the game. I'd appreciate it if the "Eligible country" section in your pinned post always stays up to date. Otherwise it's sometimes difficult to be completely sure about the eligible countries.
