Re: NSC 61 in Berceniland - Siamese Twins - SEMI 2 (Deadline - 6 December @ 20:00 CET
Yeah, this also happened in NSC 40, so it's happened more often than you might think
The rule is that if a PQer doesn't vote, then the 11th-placer with the better average score (total score divided by number of voters in their semi) qualifies instead.

I just got an sms from Freeze (Greenfroze,) and he have been without internet this weekend and today.. so he havn't been able to vote... he is very worried if he will DSQ from the NSC 62... :S
I urge both Celinas and Greenfroze to find possible ways to listen to the semi. Perhaps they can find an internet cafe, or borrow a friend's internet connection? There's still time!
If either of them had a chance to listen before/voted in NFs, then listening to the recap might be a viable solution, but
only if they're confident that they know which songs they like in their entirety (not just from the clip).
It's always very awkward when a non-voter can't vote due to other circumstances. Understandably, it's not their fault, so it all comes down to a matter of leniency. This is usually decided by the host. However, it has happened in the past and can cause a
lot of tension, so it makes things much easier (and fairer) if they can find ways to vote. Internet is everywhere and often easily accessible
I hope you can contact Veronica and Freeze to relay this information to them
And if they can't vote, but should technically qualify, it will be up to Lucian on whether they'll pass or not... The rules say no, but human nature says yes, either are justifiable
