Off to Google "North" Macedonia

I think Macedonia the country (ex-Yugoslavia) is now officially called North Macedonia because Greece didn't like the original name as they consider their (southern) bit of "Macedonia" to also be "Macedonia".

Maybe they'll vote for them now (but not Turkey)

I think I've done this right

I think I've done this right

Don't you think half the fun is working out what the point-scoring system is? Perhaps I ought to change the snooker competition so only I can understand the scoring system which will give me a better chance of doing well.

Hoping quartet from top eight in list can notch 1,800+ points while foursome from next five in betting will score less than 500.

Currently on way to Hampshire coast for family b'day party so will miss seeing this, golf and FA Cup live...

Thanks for game, Shaggy365.

Let battle commence. Strap yourselves in for the fun-filled night of the year, alright of the day.

Good luck everyone.

[murf]

Ran out of time to enter. Sorry.

Apologies to the eventual 'winner' on making your 'victory' a hollow one.

[blahblah]

Can Nth Macedonia afford this next year?

[Shaggy365]

Sorry for the delay in posting this chaps and chapesses. The results are in.

Best score possible under the budget constraints was +ve Netherlands, Russia, Italy, Norway and -ve France, Malta, Greece, UK which would have scored 1,377 points.

Anyway, congrats go to Surprised. We'll all be piling round to his house next year as it's the winners duty to host next year's show.

[primitive man]

I thought the objective was to get closest to zero! So that would turn the table upside down.
How soon can you arrange the next comp Shaggy? - I want another go!

[Surprised]

Champion!!

[blahblah]

Congrats

It seems YouTube hits and previous sales are the key....

[SamD]

Well done, Surprised. Seems you set bar unrealistically low in aiming not to be last. If you're still living in Holland then hosting Euro party next season seems appropriate, Brexit or not.

Looks like murf would have been guaranteed a First XI spot if he'd not missed deadline.

Thanks for game, Shaggy365. And no, I didn't sit through the 4-hour marathon either.

Recount!

Apparently the Belarus jury points have all been taken away because they have been diagnosed insane after awarding the UK 5 of their 16 points. Or something like that.

[Shaggy365]

It's the contest that just keeps giving.

Found my spreadsheet & put the new points numbers in. Doesn't change the overall winner, but does increase the winning margin. Only 1 change in the league table which sees me move up 1 place. Now if I can just write to them and suggest that other countries votes might be incorrect ...

It meant that the UK got even less than before

At least we couldn't drop any further

Eurovision 2020 cancelled

[eagle224]

You'd think they could have done something online and just cancelled the live event. Maybe the entrants records haven't all been chosen and recorded.

[blahblah]

Obviously they can't use the songs from this year, but the line up may well be the same as they have deferred\postponed it.
