If you get duplicates, everyone gets to keep it but you can't vote for your own entry so it is hampered by the fact at least 2 people can't vote for it.
If the massively popular song everyone picked finishes last as a result they all go out.

I wish to see YVA or Ivana round. I'm thinking the winner of the round choosing the next artist might be the best way to go after all 😃

Well one idea I was playing around with is that a voter could give a song an "Oh no, not again!" sticker if a song comes up they're sick of seeing. If a song gets 3 of these stickers then they lose some points!

The other thing is you could select artists that are future Haven Factor contestants to get a feel on what their popular and not-so-popular songs are. Although that would be relative, and you wouldn't know whether they would be popular against other possible artists.

True, but I've learned on here that a song doing well in one contest on here has no bearing at all to how it will do on Haven Factor!

Yes, like "Someday I'll be Saturday Night" which did quite well in a contest about songs that feature days of the week.

Trial it. I’m always happy to play new contests.
If you want to work past contestants picking a duff act for the next round, maybe least points wins most points out - like Pointless?

I need to iron out the details, but maybe I'll simplify the scoring system for the first one to see how it goes. It definitely requires a bit more thought, but I'm happy to trial it whenever there's a free spot.

Try to pick the least popular song by the act?

Try to pick the least popular song by the act? I'm not sure people would want to sit and listen to a load of an artist's worst songs though. I have a few ideas swimming round in my head. One of which is the possibility of giving each player a 'pass' card- which enables them to sit out of one round, if there's an artist they really can't stand!

I have come up with a format that might work.
1. It is in a sense 2 separate contests, there will be a winning act and a winning contestant (mentor).
2. It is not a straight-forward elimination contest (one goes out each round) but will be a round-robin where every mentor picks a song by the artist for that round.
3. If there are a lot of contestants then there will be a group stage and a final stage, so there will be eliminations as only the top contestants will go through and the top acts. In the final, a contestant will again pick a song for the acts that qualified from the same group as themselves.
How do we pick the acts? Possibilities are:
1. Each contestant submits one and we resolve duplicates 2. There is a proposed lists then we "vote" for which acts to keep and the top ones are picked. 3. The moderator simply picks all the acts that will take part.
The last 2 rounds of each are scored together, so you don't know for certain who is mentoring each act that round. Or maybe the scores are revealed for the songs but not who picked it - only at the end are we told which of us got through etc.
For example, if we started with 16 acts then having groups we would split into 2 groups of 8 then 2 qualify from each group and the final stage is 4. You'll have only 12 rounds instead of 16, and 4 of those rounds will have just 4 songs.
I'd expect the best songs to go first. And if we "choose" the act, we either get put in the other group, or we have to play them last.
I think it would actually work well if we keep it to artists who have already been in Haven Factor. This would then be the alternative of the replay-Haven Factor where we all think we could have done better with someone else's act.

Instrumental Idol: I want this to finish by 6 July (the start of the 3 weeks) so if it's going to be 9 rounds and each round is a week it would have to start close to the beginning of May, which means sign-up and track-submission will be around the end of April.

^ In which case I'll start the Lingovision ball rolling soon; normally I'd wait until May but I don't want people to be having to vote while they are also managing voting for a multi-round contest.
I may get it kicked off as soon as Havenvision finishes (early warning klaxon if you haven't found a song yet!)

What about Shire B's mini Haven Factor, I assumed that would also be in May, so that will be 2 multi round games at same time, Lingovision isn't so much of an issue

Yeah I recall a discussion about HFE happening to partly fill the gap in the summer where not much is going on usually.

When did Instruvision turn into Instrumental Idol? I missed that. Listening to one round of instrumentals was ok, but 7.

Earl Purple - at what point will you reveal more info about the rounds? It would be good to start planning entries in advance. I have a number of instrumental songs in mind but it'd be good to know whether they fit any of the themes.

I announced Instrumental Idol a while ago. There will be a few rounds of instrumentals. I'm pretty certain I already said what I'm looking for: I'll have to check above:
1. Classical music (pre-1900 is considered classical). For this you must pick the link obviously of the orchestra / band playing it, and it must be instrumental, and be 6 minutes or shorter.. That is by the year the music was composed. 2. More modern orchestral music. (ie. orchestral but 20th century or 21st if there is any). 3. Brass or woodwind based. Brass bands, trumpets, saxophones etc 4. Twangy guitars. But not "Apache". Anything else. "Surf" instrumentals fit in here, as well as jazzy instrumental if the lead instrument is a guitar. 5. "Jangly" pianos 6. Synth based 7. Dance music (you interpret, but I'd generally expect some of rhythmic beats) 8. Anything goes.
As well as "Apache", "Green Onions" will also be excluded after it did really well in Time Machine.
