Welcome to the 30th edition of Festival of Miracles, hosted at Japan!
And the 30th, we have a special edition! The winner theme was RANDOM COUNTRIES for this one edition.
This can be a little tough to explain so read carefully. This is how the edition will work:
1. THE CONFIRMATIONS
All players wanting to participate will confirm here with their usual country, just like in any other edition, except you obviously won't post an entry yet.
- Switching countries is not allowed for this edition, you have to confirm with the country that you were in charge of last edition. This is done because no one will play with their original confirmed country, so a switch would be meaningless.
- The debutting players should confirm with the country they wish to participate in future editions. Understand that the country you confirm with will be allocated to a different player.
- MOST IMPORTANT: If you confirm, it means you are going to participate this edition with wichever country you get. In other words, you are not allowed to withdraw once you get your random country. If you fail to send an eligible entry for your random country, you will be forced to withdraw next edition.
- If you're not willing to accomplish the above, you are always welcome to withdraw for this edition, you can come back on the 31st edition without problem, I completely understand if you decide to skip this edition.
2. THE ALLOCATION
Once all players confirm their participations, I'll put only the countries from the players who confirmed in the draw. In other words, only the current participant countries will be randomized.
3. THE REST OF THE EDITION
Just like in any edition, once you know your country you will send one eligible entry. Then we will have the semi-finals where you'll vote as your random country. Basically from this point and on everything will remain the same.
If you struggle to find a song for the country you got, I'd recommend you to ask for suggestions to the original country's player, you can check who has each country in the taglist of this post
And that should be it, all I can think of regarding the theme is explained.
Once all players confirm their participations, I'll put only the countries from the players who confirmed in the draw. In other words, only the current participant countries will be randomized.
- The process will be done using random.org , by creating two lists: one with countries and the other with the users. If one player gets their original country, they will have a re-roll, everyone will get a random country.
- The Automatic Qualifiers: The top 5 countries from last edition ( Japan, Sweden, Australia, Slovenia and Mexico) will be randomly allocated to the 5 players owning those same countries last edition. This is the only way I found to keep both same countries and players as AQ. If any of the AQ countries withdraw, their spot will be given to the 6th place from last edition and so on.
- Because he suggested the winner theme, тнєяσиттi95 will also be an AQ for this edition with the random country he gets, not with his original country.
3. THE REST OF THE EDITION
Just like in any edition, once you know your country you will send one eligible entry. Then we will have the semi-finals where you'll vote as your random country. Basically from this point and on everything will remain the same.
If you struggle to find a song for the country you got, I'd recommend you to ask for suggestions to the original country's player, you can check who has each country in the taglist of this post
And that should be it, all I can think of regarding the theme is explained.
We can now start the edition As you could read, the first step is to confirm your paticipation. I won't include any previous confirmation, in case someone changes his mind after knowing the selected theme.
