I might go for my second choice if we're doing a seeding system, because I'll probably never get my first that way

I've had my act ready since I got knocked out of the last Haven factor! I probably won't get them now - although I do have several back-ups in mind.

I've picked my first round song and my sing-off song. That's all I need. 30 seconds work.

If two contestants both want the same act then obviously one of them will end up disappointed. I therefore thought that rather than making it a "race" to quickly submit the act, I'd try to find a "fair" method whereby those who have not done as well in the contest in the past get the higher priority. You never know who the others are going to enter, so just submit your first choice and if you don't get it, then you'll be able to submit a substitute. Apart from Dave who only entered for the first time in the last edition, I think everyone on the list has come as high as 4th at least once.

I have already said I don’t care about getting my first choice Yes, and as a former winner you're lower down the priority list to those who have never won it. But let's stop troubling ourselves with that and all pick your first choice and if you don't get it, have an alternative and then enjoy the contest.

The plan is that most rounds will start on a Wednesday evening at 9pm and the voting will close on a Monday. I'll do the results on the Monday night at 9pm which will not take a long time and the sing-off songs will be published.
Around Pesach time these might vary, for example both 22nd and 29th April I will not be able to do results shows, so I'll probably spread those rounds and time the non-single round to fall around that time as that's the one where you are likely to need more time to vote.

can we get on with sending our choices in yet.
Gives people time to change to another if already picked
Can i ask why it has to be 9pm and not 7pm or 8pm for the results. Its too late for most members.

I'm still awaiting for one set of votes for Round 9 of the Pick Of The Pops game, so if I don't get them by 7PM, then I'll push the Round 9 & Round 10 results shows back 24 hours to Tue & Wed evening.
If that is the case; it might be a good idea to open the PM's with the acts choices tonight instead of Wednesday - as you are using a seeding system for who gets first choice of act, then the first come first served is not (as) relevant.

9pm results! That’s 11 for me at the moment. The results show reveal is my favourite part and I’ll miss them each week! Oh well.

It's a matter of when I close it after which I'll be able to confirm if everyone got their act and will be able to ask some for subs. I could open it now as it isn't "fastest finger first", but my plan was to open it at the time you do tonight's results. Once your act is confirmed you can send your song. Sunday I hope to do the 'reveal' I probably could do results shows at 7pm on Mondays instead of 9pm, and the whole result show will take no more than half an hour.

I think 7pm would work better for most people tbh.
I still haven't settled on an act so need to make a decision this afternoon!
