I will probably not participate again, and for several reasons:
1) When I confirmed, the event was supposed to occur during a week-end, NOT in the middle of a workday. If a client had called me today for an emergency like Tuesday morning, I would have been disqualified, which is quite unfair.
2) I'm quite disappointed that we have had numerous interval acts and not the songs that were in competition. That wouldn't have taken much longer.
3) (connected to 2) I felt very uncomfortable with the idea of instant voting only based on a recap and with so few songs. I mean that generally, I drop the songs I dislike and make a ranking of the others, and the vote becomes much more complicated when I have to include some songs I dislike in my votes because the "quota" of 10 songs is not completed, and much much more complicated when I have to include all the songs in my votes.
4) With so few participants, there is a risk of being double frustrated because you don't like most of the songs (for me was a choice "by default") and because other players in that kind of situation generally don't like yours (and actually, I finished last so you really hated it for whatever reason...).

So, here are things that can be improved based on what you said:
1) I agree with you, just people couldn't on trhe week-end so I thought since it's Easter holiday a Thursday would work too. I hope this won't happen again. (Btw, you wouldn't be DSQ, because as you told us you may have had an emergency then we would have used Grace's votes for .)
2) The show was supposed to start at 15:00CET, so we put interval acts before 15:00CET and while I was counting votes. The songs were available for anyone to hear or prepare their top though. I'll make a poll on whether the full songs should be watched too.
3) That's understandable, but if more people don't want to join I can't really do anything. Though a new system could be introduced too.
4) Well, ik but it's a matter of participants.
It's ok if you don't want to join though. A form will be opened to discuss some issues anyway (including the ones you adressed).
