ESC UNITED FORUM RANKING GAME 2023 - CLOSED - RESULTS RELEASED

[Sean]

Everyone's favourite ranking game is BACK for 2023, and we will begin in just a few short days!

We're sure #YOU know the score by now, but if not, here's a reminder of how the biggest game of the Eurovision 2023 forum works...

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
ROUNDS WILL END ON A FRIDAY NIGHT THIS YEAR, NOT SATURDAY NIGHT

Full details of the rules can be found below, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ THE RULES IN FULL BEFORE PARTICIPATING!

RULES OF THE RANKING GAME

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. The round deadlines are now every Friday 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 and via our weekly YouTube countdown video.

6. To reflect the unpredictable nature of countries revealing their entries, songs will immediately become eligible for voting once they are confirmed for Eurovision 2023 (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.
