I have rejected all 47 I had shortlisted, and chosen one at random, better go and listen to their back catalogue

Everybody except 1 who said they are going to enter has now sent in their act and I have sent them a reminder.
Whilst you're not going to know who the other acts are (except the one who got their 2nd choice who therefore knows their first choice is also there), you will know how many rounds there are going to be before you send in your first song.
The planned reveal is Wednesday 20 March at 6:30pm.

Will you be confirming which act we got via PM? Or are we just assuming we got our first choices since no dupes?

I'll help you out by saying I'm the one who got their 2nd choice (thus proving my earlier post correct ) (It's worth pointing out that last time I got my 2nd choice, I came 2nd and my first choice came 15th! So I'm not TOO bothered )

I'll catch up with the reveal when I can as out on weds term time from 7.10pm, I can be scared at the line up when I get back! Will we send in our first song and sing off song, before or after the reveal?

As I have said, you will send your first song and sing-off before the reveal so you will have no idea what acts you are up against. However, I currently have 14 entries and am expecting a 15th and not more than 16, so until that is complete, I won't have drawn up the list of each round, and I'd expect you'll want to see that before you decide what song will be played in each round.
Just do not assume there will be acts in the first round that are so certain to be bottom that you don't have to try too hard. That has stung a number of contestants before.

I take it there's still a chance we might not get our first choice, if you're still waiting for one.

One person who signed up has not sent their act. I will allow them to submit late but if it's a duplicate they now have to change it, as the priority rule only applied to those who submitted on time.

Well I'm only just seeing that a deadline was set two days ago. I'll try to pick an act and get it to you ASAP

Entry is now closed and we have 15 acts this year.
I will post the format shortly and then you can send your first songs.
The act reveal will be at 6:30pm on Wednesday and the first round will begin shortly after.

This will be the format of the contest, with each date and round. Because of my commitments over the Pesach festival, 2 rounds are stretched out over that period, and the non-single round is in one of them. Start Date | Acts | Type | Vote End Date | Sing-off End | 20/03/2024 | 15 | Regular | 25/03/2024 | 27/03/2024 | 27/03/2024 | 14 | Regular | 01/04/2024 | 03/04/2024 | 03/04/2024 | 13 | Double Elimination | 08/04/2024 | 10/04/2024 | 10/04/2024 | 11 | Regular | 15/04/2024 | 17/04/2024 | 17/04/2024 | 10 | Non-Single | 25/04/2024 | 28/04/2024 | 28/04/2024 | 9 | Double-Elimination | 06/05/2024 | 08/05/2024 | 08/05/2024 | 7 | Regular | 13/05/2024 | 16/05/2024 | 15/05/2024 | 6 | Regular | 21/05/2024 | 23/05/2024 | 22/05/2024 | 5 | Regular | 28/05/2024 | 30/05/2024 | 29/05/2024 | 4 | Automatic elimination | 03/06/2024 |
| 03/06/2024 | 3 | Final (2 songs each) | 09/06/2024 |
|
In a regular round, the bottom 2 end up in a sing-off (and the same rule in the non-single round). In a double-elimination round, the bottom 4 end up in a sing-off. That will make the second double-elimination round interesting as nearly half the remaining acts (4 out of 9) will be in it! In case of a tie regarding to who takes the last sing-off place: In the first round, both acts will be in the sing-off but it will still be single-elimination, so 2 out of 3 of the sing-off acts would go through. In any subsequent round, it will be settled by which act has the worse overall score throughout the contest being in the sing-off.
