I hope for the sake of my already unstable sanity that it doesn't come to that.

Yeah I know Congrats were always bigger, but for a non-Congrats spin-off this is definitely a mammoth! Hope the deadline is kind to allow for plenty of listening time haha

Would love to, but my new work/life routine doesn't easily allow for them unless they are held at the weekend and during the day (so pretty much never
)

Yeah well I can always hold a second one on Saturday 13:00 CET. Maybe won't be a lot of people, but I mean I'll be up for giving it a go just to see if it's a good idea or not.Would love to, but my new work/life routine doesn't easily allow for them unless they are held at the weekend and during the day (so pretty much never

Wasn't 32 set to be the maximum allowed for spinoffs (except Congrats) back in the days? I remember rushing to reserve a spot before all the places got taken...

Totally. Morty might not like it because there used to be rules, but quite frankly I think the chances are very real that some of those who signed up will ultimately not enter. You'll receive a word in the next hour or so.It Utopost is still accepting those, I am sending a word

Yes, but I prefer to see myself as a rebel living on the edge.I don't think Morty was having a go or anything, I think he was posting in answer to my question of the biggest spin-off previously. No shade intended
Ooh, you're right, I totally forgot about that. The spinoff thread actually has a set of rules in the first post, and one of them says:
"The absolute maximum number of countries allowed to participate is now 32 (to accommodate the increased nations due to WL), except in cases of particularly popular spinoffs."
I think it's sufficiently vague that Uto can decide for himself whether to stop accepting participants. What do you think @Uto, would you say this is a particularly popular spinoff?
As a side note, there should probably be a spinoff section in the official rules thread, now that I think about it. I'll start working on that

A 'particularly popular spinoff'? By definition, that seems to me like 'any spinoff where more than 32 countries are interested'...

Well, this spinoff is certainly particular. Could argue it's popular. Think it qualifies.

Yeah it's legit the most self-defeating rule I've ever seen in this thread.A 'particularly popular spinoff'? By definition, that seems to me like 'any spinoff where more than 32 countries are interested'...

If I remember correctly, I think the limit was set because a lot of entries means it's gonna be more work to listen to and rank the songs. And I think the "particularly popular spinoffs" is meant to be the Congrats spinoffs, and possibly NSC ESC?
For me tho, it's not a problem, but maybe extend the deadline with a few days if we get many entries?
For the record, I will confirm, and since I haven't gotten any more votes in the NF, I think my entry is pretty much decided. I'll give it until tonight tho.

We will see, it's not a problem if this is needed. Given low status of contest it's likely that there's going to be some shuffling with dates anyway to evade other LL's and stuff. I don't have a clue about that yet.
I agree, that rule doesn't really function as a rule I think it should be something along the lines of:
The maximum number of participants allowed in a spinoff is 32, unless otherwise specified by the host in the confirmation thread. If a spinoff has more than 32 participants, the voting period must last a minimum of 10 days.
But anyway, I'll open a rule discussion thread soon and we can figure out what it should be.
