Totallympics International Song Contest Discussion

[OlympicIRL 4,769]

The other thing I will put to a vote is about allowing more than one nation to host a single edition, i.e. the option to co-host. It is something @intoronto wanted us to discuss and it would be useful to gather the views of everyone on this. It can be teased out further to determine what co-hosting means (2 nations, more than 2), should there be some sort of geographic or cultural link between co-hosts, or should it matter?

 

Let's discuss

Personally I think co hosts could work if it's two countries close to each other. Like USA/Canada

If you ever did host an edition together I sincerely hope it is branded as Czechoslovakia

Your second issue about wanting to scrap random draws within your national jury, how did you want that to happen? What are the logistics of doing so?

I took a while to think about this, but I’m still not sure what the best method is, so maybe we shelve this issue for now, and comeback to it later if someone has a good proposal.

I forgot about this, I will open the polls this weekend. I still haven’t decided on what the questions will be.

TISC: Vote on Potential Rule Changes

 

 

As promised, I am opening up a vote to decide on 2 separate proposals. The first involves an option for juries consisting of 2 members to opt-in to a combined voting format that would guarantee any song receiving votes from both members of the national jury would be guaranteed to appear in the final combined Top 12 vote of that jury. Both jury members vote as normal, the only difference is that when the votes are combined, if a nation that received points from both jury members does not make the Top 12, they will be added to the list, replacing the lowest ranked song in the Top 12 that did not receive points from both jurors. If a majority yes vote is agreed then 2-member juries will have the option to choose that method of voting. The default option will be the standard method of combining the votes, so if no stipulation is made by the national jury, the default method will apply.

 

 

The second issue concerns hosting rights and whether there should be an option for a nation to co-host the event with another nation, and if so, should there be some kind of cultural or geographic link between the 2 co-hosting nations.

 

In order for these rules to take effect, a simple majority of 1 is required. All previous TISC participants are welcome to participate in this vote. Polls will close Sunday, 30th May 2021, 21:00 GMT.

 

Please answer all questions, even if you answer no to Question 2:

 

 

 

Question 1:

Should national juries consisting of 2-members be allowed the right to opt-in to a voting process that guarantees that a song(s) which receive votes from both jury members will appear in the final top 12 combined list of that nation's votes? (Read above for details of the proposed method).
