Basically there aren't big changements. These are the rules of the CAMPIONI SECTION:
- 18 singers this year
- The first 9 singers will present their songs during the 1st night and they will be judged by the televote (50%) and the press center (50%)
- The other 9 singers will present their songs during the 2nd night and they will be judged by the televote (50%) and the press center (50%)
- After the first two nights we'll have a provisional ranking of the 18 songs
- The 18 singers will sing a cover of a famous italian song during the 3rd night, but this has nothing to do with the "real" contest
- The 18 singers will sing again their songs during the 4th night and they will be judged by the televote (40%), the experts jury (30%) and a "popular jury" (30%)
- After the 4th night we'll have a definitive ranking of the 18 songs (created joining the votes of the first two nights and the votes of the fourth night, 50/50). The bottom 5 will be eliminated, while 13 songs will go through the final
- One of the eliminated songs will be saved only by the televote and we'll know who is the 14th finalist at the beginning of the final
- The 14 finalists will sing again their songs during the 5th night and they will be judged by the televote (40%), the experts jury (30%) and a "popular jury" (30%)
- The top 3 will sing again their songs and they will be judged once again by the televote (40%), the experts jury (30%) and a "popular jury" (30%), the most voted will win
