Re: FSC #61 - March 2014: The Show! [DDL: 28th March, 23:59 CET]
^ I will try to explain.
As the FSC Rules say, the first 7 days from the start of a FSC-edition is what we call the 'Evaluation Period'. During this period members who find an entry they believe may be in conflict with the FSC Rules can contact the FSC Mod team who will take a closer look at the song in question and, if it is found to be ineligible, can disqualify the entry and replace it with a back-up (reserve) entry. After this 7-day 'Evaluation Period', however, nothing is done to entries that may later be found to be ineligible. We have to draw the line somewhere, we cannot change entries and make people have to re-send their votes far into the month, and so the first week of the edition was chosen from the start and has been practiced accordingly since.
It is the main responsibility of the FSC-juries/countries to check their entries - to ensure that they are eligible for FSC and in accordance with the FSC Rules - before they are submitted. The FSC Mod Host every month does a prelimenary check of the songs before the edition starts, to decrease the amount of potential songs needed to be looked at more closely during the 'Evaluation Period', but this is done on a 'best effort basis' with the time that is available, which means that not everything can always be checked 100% beforehand. That is also why we have the 7-day 'Evaluation Period'. Sometimes we experience that an ineligible song 'slips through both the members' and Mods' fingers' as it were, like this month with the aforementioned songs above, this is unfortunate but the way it is, and this has also happened a few times before. It does not happen often, though, and if everyone checks their songs very well before entering them in the contest, the problem will be almost non-existent.
In conclusion, no songs were reported to the FSC Mod team during the 'Evaluation Period' this month and that means that all songs are considered eligible for FSC March, no matter what information has been revealed recently. This also means that all songs can be voted for and no votes that have been sent to the FSC Mod vote collector for March need to be re-sent.
I hope this explanation made things easier to understand

I've been busy this month so I couldn't correct tags sooner. But I don't think that Brazilian and Portuguese jurors should be mad at me, they could've checked it themselves.
