Austria already got starting position 14

Austria already got starting position 14

of course. Corrected my post.

 

[GermanBango]

My question would be, is 14th considered as first or second half? Hopefully first so the chances are bigger to finally perform in the second half again

I guess it is like this:

First half (1-14)
Second half (15-27)

They conveniently drew right in the middle.

Yeah that's why asked. Some could smell another conspiracy here.
Well ... all I wish for is, that we won't perform between two favorites again xshifty

Would Austria really screw you over? I hope we don't get first half. I have this awful feeling if we do we will end up going second in the order.

I wonder how they are gonna do with us if we qualify for the final and get first half (I´m thinking of the projector) I highly doubt they would put us at #1 in that case.

It´s about time we get second half this year if we qualify.

I'm not entirely sure. i don't think going first would totally unrealistic. They can start setting up while they're banging on about whatever they talk about. But I think ORF would get accused of fixing it if Sweden was to go first, considering it's a favourite.

Let's hope for the best then - and for the second half

No panic - You'll win no matter what starting position you get imho

If Sweden was to be drawn in the first half, putting them first would be the right thing to do if the projector thing really takes time to be installed, unless they plan to change break times. To me it's more likely (and fairer tbh) than allocating them to the strategic 13th place again, that would be blatant favouritism.

Exactly, no matter which running number we get, everyone will claim it´s "fixed".

It´s those kind of comments that annoys me to hell

You were second half in 2013.
