 This post is about National Selections.Because of the contest started to be bigger and better (?),Started to the Sixth Edition, you will be able to do National SelectionsAnd you have two differents ways to do your NS : 1. Poll
The poll voting is, certainely, the easiest to organize, you have to choose 2, 3, 4 or 5 Songs maximum for your
selection, and People vote for their Top 1/2/3, has you want. It's not an obligation to do a recap.
2. Normal NS
For this, contrary to the poll, you will not have a music limit, but you have to do a recap if you have more than 5 Songs. For this, you can do Semi-Final, Grand-Final, Second Chance, etc.. The only rule is people have to send their vote in PM (  and ect ..)
Some rules exist for the songs :β’ You will be available to re-use a song that lost in your NS, but (for exemple), if you song finish Second for your NS in the EoF #07, the song can be re-send only by NS (if you selected your song Internal, it will be refused), and only for EoF #09. So you can't re-use your song in two consecutive NS.β’ You can do a selection that the Top 3 represent your country in the next three editions. For exemple, you made a NS like this with 12 Songs for EoF #06, your first will represent your country in EoF #06, your second in EoF #07 and your third in EoF #08. The only rule is that you can't reveal your song before the end of the last edition, otherwise your song may not represent your country.
β’ You can't add International / Foreign act.
And for concluding, for presenting your thread, the title will be like this :
[EoF #xx] Your National Selection - Country - Other
(exemple) [EoF #09] A song for Slovakia - Slovakia - Semi-Final 49
Edition
The name of your NS (can be in English or in language of your country)
Your country
If it's a Semi-Final, a Final or a Second Chance.

Updates of the RulesWell first, Merry Christmas to everyone !
And second, it's a good time for updating the Rules of the contest, and why not about today for adding these news things in the contest.
Well, let's start :
I.  Aland Islands &  Kosovo are both accepted in the contest from EoF #12 & on.
Aland Islands (13 Votes YES, 12 Votes NO) and Kosovo (16 Votes YES, 10 Votes NO) are officially accepted in the contest, with the rules said on that post.
Attention, these countries are reserved to people which doesn't have a country or which DOESN'T CONFIRMED yet.
II. A new rule (again) for the swapping of a country
Ok, this time it doesn't said about the number of editions you must stay with that country (still 2 editions where you compete with it).
But if you have already confirmed in the current edition with your first country, then you can't change of the whole edition !
It means that  Vukasin must stay with Switzerland one more edition. Because already confirmed with Switzerland but later changed for Slovakia.
III. The way to give a strike will be changed !
The only thing that will be completely renewed, yep.
Because I decided to completely redone the "way" for getting a strike, and also how to get a strike.
Before this post, you can get at maximum 5 Strikes before being permanently banned of the contest.
Now you must have 100% of your "Strike Percentage" for being banned for 5 Editions at least. A Permaban is only decided in really specials occasions.
Let's explains. Everybody will start at 0% (striked people will restart at the number of "fault" they made)
If you forgot in the Semi-Finals where you needed to vote without giving a reason, then you will get 5% more in your Percentage of Strike. If you also don't vote in the Final, you will get 5% for not voting in Final, but also 5% other for not voting during a whole edition, despite confirming or sending an entry, if you weren't able to take part one edition, then, withdrawn.
Also you can get a strike for these reasons :
β’ Didn't vote on time.
β’ Confirm but not submitting on time
β’ Didn't confirm on time.
β’ Cheating in the contest
β’ Insults people on the contest board.
β’ Not sending an entry to approval (Borrowing States only)
All of them, apart the cheating one and the Insulting of people, will give you 5% in your Strike Percentage. Cheating will result of getting 50% directly and the Insulting to 25%.
Also. You will still get "ban" of some editions if :
β’ You reach 40% of your strike list (banned for 1 Edition)
β’ You reach 75% of your strike list (banned for 3 Editions)
β’ You reach 100% of your strike list (banned for 5 Editions)
I hope these new rules are okay for you all people.

New rules in EoF !
An update was needed, and some rules too.
As reminder, there no restrictions as of HOW old is a song, or how old the singer, the only restriction for the age of a singer is 16 Years Old.
The borrowing rule got an update !As Aland Islands just debuted this edition, an update of the borrowing rule was needed.Some countries will now be restricted to borrow from one (or 2) regions * from the Swedishg speaking part only. Why the rule got updated ? Because... it was a little bit needed.
For Andorra, I decided this as the country is more Catalan than Spanish.
For   , I decided to reduce the number of borrowing countries to 1, as they have more "connection" with these countries.
For   there no changes.
Also, these countries still need to send their entry to approval BUT if the artist is from the country (ex. Valentina Monetta), the approval is not needed. But if I discover that this singer isn't from the country, you will got a strike, and your singer will be refused.
No American Singers in EoF.
Why ? Well, after seeing some people which deeply wanted to send one singer which doesn't have enough connections to that country, well, I decided to be more strict with that.
And that american singer must have strong connections with these countries... like being born on this country.
But if the song feature an American singer, it's accepted, as long as  USA doesn't represent more than 50% of the song.
Reprises of songs are now accepted... WAIT WAIT WAIT.
I mean, official reprise of a song (like this song) are accepted. Same restrictions, I don't care of as how old the song is, as long as it wasn't in ESC (the original) or if the original singer is died.
And a last rule, National Final Songs for ESC.
Well, I will accepte them too... only if there a music video of it - I won't accept live version of ANY songs, it need a proper music video, made by you or someone.
