The well-known American contest, Superstars & Stripes is ready for coming up with new set-up.
It will totally change from what it was on its old format.
Here are the new features:
★ Instead of a whole edition of one US census region (Either West, Midwest, Northeast or South), there'll be 4 heats with each one of them are the 4 US regions!
★ There will be 12-13 songs each heat with those US census regions. With 4 direct qualifiers and 1 Second Chance-qualification each heat. The Second Chance-qualifier is the 5th placer in the heat, that are going to this specific round.
★ Overall 4 Second Chance-qualifiers will be competing together in an own 'semi-final', where they bid for getting most votes, just by having users to do PM-voting from the forums to the host. Only 1 will qualify to the final, making it a total of 17 entries, which are all bidding for the representation of the American entry for the contest.
★ The national selection (with the heats) will be opening in the 'Other contest'-board, due to the capability of being useful for a national final for any contests which are accepting National Selections and is accepting United States as a participating country, whenever it's available for hosting it as a National selection. Afterwards, when the Heats and the Second-Chance-final have succeed, a [FINAL]-thread will be uploaded to the selected song contest with the basic mechanics of voting and then following the results on the same thread with edited title to [FINAL RESULTS].
★ Just like Musical Clash of Austria, there'll be an '[INFO]' for all the 50 US states's artists. All done with linked and featured details about the artist. Featured details can be an image of the artist, a random image of the US state's environment + US state flag. Linked details are done with biography, discography etc., since it'll be time consuming for doing it all by the host itself.
★ There will also be 4 other threads, showing the 4 heats to be having it's own playlist and then recap following in a fair time of experiencing the whole content of all the 4 heats. Done with a title of [1st HEAT], [2nd HEAT], [3rd HEAT] and [4th HEAT]. So does the Second Chance-final with [SECOND CHANCE] and with its own unique thread.
★ The whole content from this selection will be done in a slow pace, since it requires a time of target for a potential NS for a contest. Meanwhile, the [INFO]-thread will be a big thread showing all the worth detail for having the identity of the artist itself. That'll follow the steps from the stairways into a reasonable perception.
Minor changes or same feature:
★ The artists and their songs will be found all by its own host. Done all by browsing-skills, where the reliable identities are the key to sum up new and refreshing artists. Though in some ways - in the rarer formular - mainstream artists is a feature aswell, even though their hitsingles will not be useful for the matter of competing in this National selection.
★ Based on the voting, the voting (whether it's the Heats or Final) will simply be as in the basics of Eurovision Song Contest. Only in the Semi Final with the Second Chance-qualifiers, the voting will be a +1 vote by forum PM.
★ At some moments where US states will lack with artists, they are eligible to borrow from neighbouring states (e.g. Wyoming with Colorado)
★ A running order draw will be put, not as like an alphabetical draw. Counting only for the Heats and the Final!
Tomorrow evening is the day where I will put up the [INFO]-thread, where a tables of content will be featured.
Updates will happen daily/weekly, so the thread will be kept active for its introductions for the artists, the songs, the draw etc.
