    I know it probably seems a long way off, but I have a feeling it will creep up on us quicker than expected, so today La RTVR is launching its national final for edition 30.
    *
    Format
    *
    There will be 16 participants. 12 of these are former representatives of Il Regno d'Italofilia with the remaining 4 being new candidates.
    *
    Round one will consist of 4 heats of 4 songs. The heats were created using a seeding system, based on performance in the contest in which the singer represented Il Regno d'Italofilia. The 4 new participants were allocated randomly. The top 2 from each heat will advance to the semi final.
    *
    The semi final will consist of 4 head-to-heads as follows:
    • Winner of Heat 1 vs Runner up of Heat 2
    • Winner of Heat 2 vs Runner up of Heat 1
    • Winner of Heat 3 vs Runner up of Heat 4
    • Winner of Heat 4 vs Runner up of Heat 3
    *
    The final will be between the 4 winners of the semi-final.
    *
    POINTS
    *
    Each voter will have 20 points to share as they please between the 4 participants in each heat. The only restriction is that no song can receive more than 50% of the points (i.e. 10 points).
    *
    VOTING
    *
    To vote send me your points in a private conversation. Voting in each heat will be open for 3 days, closing at 22:00 BST on the 3rd day. I will try to announce the results of each heat by 23:00 with the next heat opening at 00:00.
    *
    Thank you in advance to those of you who decide to vote, and help La RTVR choose the potential winner of edition 30.

    You might want to edit your profile privacy to allow regular members to start private conversations with you if you expect them to vote via that method BAS :P

    Thank you to all who voted in the fourth heat. La RTVR would like to apologise for the delay in releasing these results. We would like to reassure voters that this was in no way an attempt to fiddle the figures or cook the books. The delay was the result of a snowball effect of studying, and heavy rain, culminating in a collapsed bathroom ceiling, and hurried attempts to tidy up before calling my landlord.
    *
    The votes have now been counted and the results are shown below:
    *
    in 4th place with 22 points: Sweet Mullet (underrated q.f.)
    in 3rd place with 24 points: The SoCal Vocals (much to my surprise this received top marks from 2 people)
    in 2nd place with 30 points: Anggun
    in 1st place with 45 points: Grégoire
    *
    Grégoire and Anggun will therefore advance to the semi-final.
    *
    The semi-finls will be posted shortly. The voting will be slightly different for the semis due to the head-to-head format.
  17. adamacs RUTH DAVIDSON FOR PM.

    OK, so it's now time for the semi finals, of which there are 4. Each Semi final will be a head-to-head - so 1 song against nother, with the winner progressing to the final. To vote, you have 5 points to award, this could be 0+5, 1+4 or 2+3 depending on how much you like/dislike the songs in that head-to-head. I will post two semis at a time, so without further ado, the first two semis are detailed below:

    Semi Final 1:
    Winner of Heat 1 (Amel Bent) vs Runner-up of Heat 2 (The Men They Couldn't Hang)




    Semi Final 2:
    Winner of Heat 2 (Luca Dirisio) vs Runner-up of Heat 1 (The Pogues)




    Voting will be open until 22:00 Wednesday 5th October.
  18. adamacs RUTH DAVIDSON FOR PM.

    Quick update:

    After 4 sets of votes, although 1 song has 50% more points in each semi, its still very close, and the leaders swapped places after each set of votes. Voting is open until 22:00 tomorrow.
  19. adamacs RUTH DAVIDSON FOR PM.

    Thank you to those who voted in the first 3 semi finals. Here are the results:

    Semi Final 1
    Amel Bent 15 vs 10 The Men They Couldn't Hang

    Semi Final 2
    Luca Dirision 13 vs 12 The Pogues

    Slightly surprised by the results of semi 2 as I though Luca would storm to victory, but he only narrowly scraped through.

    Amel Bent and Luca Dirisio therefore progress to the final.

    Semis 3 and 4 to follow shortly
  20. adamacs RUTH DAVIDSON FOR PM.
