Fantasy Eurovision 2019
With the first semi-final taking place today, it has reminded me to run the annual Fantasy Eurovision competition. After the second semi-final, the list of runners & riders will be posted here. I'm thinking of a slightly different format this year, so tune in next week and realise that it's already finished.

Czech Rep is full but should qualify, given the previous dross. Maybe an outsider place but anodyne to be polite....

Re: Fantasy Eurovision 2019
So the excitement is building. The line-up so far is :
France - Automatic qualification
Germany - Automatic qualification
Italy - Automatic qualification
Spain - Automatic qualification
UK - Automatic qualification
Israel - Hosts
Australia - Semi-final 1 qualification
Belarus - Semi-final 1 qualification
Cyprus - Semi-final 1 qualification
Czech Republic - Semi-final 1 qualification
Estonia - Semi-final 1 qualification
Greece - Semi-final 1 qualification
Iceland - Semi-final 1 qualification
San Marino - Semi-final 1 qualification
Serbia - Semi-final 1 qualification
Slovenia - Semi-final 1 qualification
At the moment I'm still considering which style of competition to run. The possibilities are :
1. A Final table prediction competition, a bit like Vid's premier league competition.
2. My usual pick 4 countries and the most points gets it.
3. Predict which country will each set of judges give the 12 points to (but considering Cyprus & Greece have both qualified, this makes it more about national friends, rather than who they think is best).
4. Still thinking.

Re: Fantasy Eurovision 2019
OK, so now my mind's wandering. Maybe choose 4 to score & 4 to lose, but if everyone chooses the UK to score, then you get less points because everyone has chosen UK (which may or may not happen. Other entries are available). Basically a bit like the bookies, so if all the punters back 1 horse, then the odds on that horse shorten.
Set a reminder on my phone to think about this tomorrow at work, but there's a real danger at the moment that I could make it too complicated. Much prefer simple entries and simple rules so simple people like me can understand it.

Would favour:
This would be simple to enter and administer and also means everyone playing has to consider prospects of all 26 songs/acts.1. A Final table prediction competition, a bit like Vid's premier league competition.

Re: Fantasy Eurovision 2019
Here we go then. I've decided to bow to popular opinion, but also make it quite hard to choose an entry.
Below you will see the list of countries that are lucky/good enough to have made it through to the final on Saturday 18th May. There is a +ve points value against each country and also a -ve points value. You just need to pick 4 countries to score you +ve points and 4 countries to reduce your score. You have a total budget of 400 across your 8 countries. Post your entries on this thread.
Good luck everyone. Can morganb become a 3-time consecutive winner?

Re: Fantasy Eurovision 2019
Exactly how it's supposed to be. In fact, if the entry deadline was now, you'd become a 4-time winner due to current low entry count at the moment.
