Just, what would happen if in any stage the selected representative fails to score. It will be counted as a DNF in the total, or should they get a negative penalty, like -20 akin to a lost lap?

Yeah, I’d argue we should institute a modified DNF in that case. The team receives no points for the leg, but they are allowed to remain in the competition and accumulate points in the other legs. 
 

Here’s a breakdown of how points would be allocated relative to ranking in the first three legs: 

 

1st - 50

2nd - 45

3rd - 40

4th - 35

5th - 30

6th - 25

7th - 20

8th - 15

9th - 10 

10th - 5

 

Getting awarded zero points for a leg DNF isn’t too harsh a penalty for the bottom ranked teams, while they also get a slightly larger handicap to reward the top teams.

It's going to be hard here, there was barely any listening time with all the travel preparations and travel and such...we will try tomorrow...

[konig 1,503]

Voted, it was dificult for the good average level of the tournament, thanks people for share this good music, i only dont like 3 songs.

 

 

After saying that, for the tranquility of everyone: another tournament without "jokes songs"

 

Some conclusions after this:

 

 and : i dont have to see the list to say "its obvius this song is from .....", too many tournaments with both of you @hckošice and @dcro

: It was the story for a guy who try to find a blonde woman without any respect for Traffic Laws.

: two represents of the good compite for who will figth against evil......and (spoiler alert) they finally finish merged.

: a "subtle" advertise for drinking milk......sponsored by Parmalat?

: i understand is a romantic song but putting "my love" in the cellphone is too much......

: you can be with a beautiful woman only knowing singing.

: a group of people gathering in the forest at nigth........clearly vampire activity.

: the most fashion heroine of all times remember us how bad is in fantasy stories to eat and apple.

"WHAT IS GOOD TO BUY IN CZECH STORS?"

 

Does exist some typical Czech food products? Of course, let's introduce some of them!

 

BEER
Beer is probably the best-known and most popular drink not only in the Czech Republic. However, Czech brands are known all over the world, and since 2008 the name Czech beer has been protected as a geographical indication. According to Czech regulations, beer is defined as: a foamy beverage produced by fermentation of wort prepared from malt, water, unmodified hops, modified hops or hop products, which, in addition to the alcohol (ethanol) and carbon dioxide produced by the fermentation process, also contains a certain amount of unfermented extract. The Czechia has the highest consumption and production of beer per capita in the world.
The most famous Czech brands are: Pilsner Urquell, Staropramen, Gambrinus, Lobkowicz, Radegast and Budweiser Budvar.

 

KOFOLA
Kofola is a sparkling non-alcoholic drink of the cola type, which was created in 1959 in Czechoslovakia as an alternative to competing drinks Coca-Cola or Pepsi, which were unavailable at the time. After the fall of the communist regime in 1989, it competed with foreign brands that entered the newly created attractive market. Then came a period of bankruptcy and trademark litigation. Many companies produced their own "kofolas", although they had nothing to do with the original and just used an established brand. The Kofola company recovered at the beginning of the 21st century and today the drink is served on tap in almost every Czech pub. The company even produces limited flavors for each year. The strawberry flavor is currently on sale for 2022.

 

PARDUBICE GINGERBREAD
The history of Pardubice gingerbread dates back to the 15th century, and the tradition of its production is still maintained today. There are many different forms of gingerbread. They can be glued with jam, decorated with sugar icing with texts and pictures or topped with different flavors of icing. Gingerbread is also used as a confectionary material when making gingerbread houses (according to a Czech fairy tale). They are especially popular during the Christmas holidays and often people don't eat them and keep them as decoration.

 

OLOMOUC CHEESE CURDS
Olomouc cheese curds is a type of Moravian ripening cheese that is made from skimmed milk, so it has a minimal fat content. However, it is very aromatic, similar to Romadour cheese. It is produced in the village of Loštice near the city of Olomouc. They began to produce already in the 15th century. They are called Olomouc because they were sold at the markets in Olomouc. The industrial production of curds was introduced by Josef Wessels in 1876 and continues to this day. There is a pastry shop in Loštice, where they will prepare pastries made of cottage cheese - cream rolls, scarves, cakes, ice cream sundaes, etc. But they are best with bread and butter.

 

 

 

And you can see on this video. There are many others Czech products.  To be honest, the products are much more tastier then that guy shows!

You are almost right: the Italian singer Gianni Morandi is from Bologna not from Parma so the song is sponsored by Granarolo founded in 1957 in Bologna

 

 

Anyway, votes sent!

 

Very interesting music this year!
