Directly after ESC ended this year, I started to wonder how the results would have looked like if the old 50/50 system used between 2009-2012 had been in action. I decided to find out and these are the results I got:
Semi-Final 1
146 p
136 p
127 p
123 p
117 p
61 p
59 p
58 p
52 p
50 p
37 p
37 p
32 p
29 p
27 p
11 p
9/10 countries would still have qualified for the final, the only thing that would have changed was in the final instead of
Semi-Final 2
173 p
121 p
89 p
88 p
86 p
86 p
75 p
74 p
62 p
48 p
40 p
38 p
29 p
19 p
16 p
No changes at all, same 10 countries would have qualified.
But, how would the result in the grand final have looked liked. Here is the answer:
Grand Final
313 p
229 p
210 p
185 p
126 p
109 p
102 p
97 p
91 p
65 p
64 p
61 p
60 p
52 p
49 p
48 p
48 p
43 p
42 p
40 p
33 p
31 p
29 p
10 p
6 p
3 p
It´s very obvious that the country that was the biggest loser with the new ranking system was who under the older system would have finished 6th instead of 14th. The opposite for who would have ended 18th instead of 9th.
What do you think of these results? Should EBU bring back the old system again or continue with the current rules? Discuss
