Because of a high average running order position, the following countries will be performing in the first half:
 Armenia |
 Malta |
 Mexico |
 South Korea |
During the past edition I could remember getting usually low running order numbers, so it caught my attention that I was allocated in the first half of the running order for having a ''high average running order position''. I even thought it was my imagination making me think I usually had low RO's
So I decided to make a table with my past 20 running order numbers and this was the result:
So yeah, I'd like an explanation on what high average this was based on because I just couldn't find any ''high'' average running order position in that table
What I found the most odd is that more than half of those editions I've been between the first ten songs, while only 3 of them have been above 20.
You know I highly appreciate your work Laurinda but this has been bothering me for quite some time already, sorry
I don't mind if I'm wrong, if I see it a different way or whatever, I just want to know why this happened.

all had this problem. I wish I knew how it happened (so I knew how to prevent it in the future). It was an honest mistake and I didn't think to check the formulas 
Thank you Gilberto, for pointing it out, I'm too blind to notice
As for the halves, I'm not looking for every country to have the same amount of participations in each half. I created this system for the cases when the same countries keep getting low/high positions. So just "top" 3-5 will be allocated in the half to "fix" the average. Currently, the averages aren't bad (from 11 - 19 is quite ideal as I can't expect everyone to have 14 or 15). Also, each decade is counted separately.
According to my notes, your ending averages are:
7-10: 11,5 (editions were much smaller then)
11-20: 13,6
21-30: 12,8
31-40: 13,3
41-50: 13,1
51-56: 13
In the end, the running order is mostly about random chance. And I can't really please everyone no matter what. Some prefer to be at the start, others in the end, some in the middle and some don't care.
Thanks again for pointing it out, it was foolish of me not to check the formulas. Will pay more attention from now on
If anything still doesn't make sense, we can discuss it as well.
