I still don’t understand the Pot System or what it means (like I get the general idea but like don’t really understand it maybe bc I’m really tired)
But nevertheless Pot A seems like a slay mama group so yas
Long story short, after each edition we calculate the voting similarity between each player. We take into consideration your top 10 in the final.
The Pot system aims to have balanced semis where each song has theoretically the same chance to qualify. You can easily guess that if a semi is dominated by pop voters, a Ghibli movie score would have a harder time qualifying.
To nurture this balance, we create 6 groups of users who share significant voting similarities and divide them into each semi. The similarities of the last 10 editions are used to generate them. I won't go into details over the formulas, as I don't bother to look at it more deeply than I need to, but be aware that it takes a lot of time to prepare this data and create the graph, hence we're doing it every 3 editions.
Traditionally, A is more into Western pop, B into Eastern European and Asian pop, C is a mess but usually gathers the pop, indie/folk, and occasional ballad lovers, D leans on electronics and rock, E is more into ballads and ambient stuff (?) - this pot changed since the traditional members all left and F - would be classical music and old folk.
Another reminder: the style of your entry has close to no impact. You could send the entirety of Shakira's discography, if you vote for classical piano pieces you will be Pot F.
