Hey everyone, I thought it was about time we do a new game on the forum, this one is calle Eurovision Team Cup! I have selected the 10 best ranked songs from each country in Eurovision which will help their country to go all the way to the final of this tournament built competition. 48 teams will compete in eight groups of six countries and the top 4 in each group will qualify to the next round. The rules are simple, you vote for your fave in each match and the one with the best scores in the group qualifies. 47 of these are countries that has at least 10 songs competed in ESC (except for Czech Republic, which I allowed to reuse two of their songs to make the groups even), while one team is called MASA, for the four teams that hadn't 10 countries, those are Morocco, Andorra, Slovakia and Australia. In their case, I have chosen the one song from Morocco, and the three best songs from each of the other three ones. When it comes to the two songs from Serbia & Montenegro, those has been divided to their later independent parts.

We will begin with the group stage, where I will have one group open for about three to four days at a time. The groups has been put together randomly, seeded only by the percentage of points they earned over all the years Eurovision excisted. Each team will have five rounds in the group stage, In the first round songs that were the countries tenth highest score, in the 2nd round, the nineth highest placement competes and so on. In the final rounds, it will be continue with the final being only the two best placed ones against each other.

Time for the playoff and the very last matches, which contains these match-ups:

Bronze Medal Match:
:fr: 1977 - ”L'Oiseau Et L'Enfant” Marie Myriam vs :ee: 2001 - ”Everybody” Tanel Padar & Dave Benton

The Final:
:bg: 2017 - ”Beautiful Mess” Kristian Kostov vs :ua: 2016 - ”1944” Jamala

Vote for your favorite in each semi via pm to me before the end of the deadline, which is Sunday the 29th of September @ 20 CET.
Rank all three songs in both semifinals. The first ranked one will count as your vote, but if a semi ends in a tie, your 2nd placed songs will be counted as well!

There you have it, let's start this competition shall we! :mrgreen:

Yes, I have picked the ten songs with the best result, first in placement, then by point. So if two songs had the same placement, the one that got the most points qualified. :)

Voted! :mrgreen:

Most matches were fairly easy for me, even though some duels surprisingly won't disappoint me regardless of the outcome.

I can't wait for San Marino's turn to see Serhat, Serhat, Valentina Monetta, Valentina Monetta, Valentina Monetta and Valentina Monetta & Jimmie Wilson make it to the next stage and achieve a Grand Slam.

Re: Eurovision Team Cup - Which is the best country in Eurovision? GROUP B ddl: 18/8 21 CET!

all of my votes except halley won, so i am not mad even if halley winning would make turkey advance lol

that round 5 in group B is the hardest vote i have ever seen. how can you make me choose between pokusaj and grande amore when i worship both? between waterfall and butterflies when i utterly despise both? between les jardins de monaco and without your love when both are just fine lol? that round i voted 100% strategically because feelings wouldn't let me make a choice.
