Have a sneak preview of the 2006 voting in this interactive (semi-)random voting-simulator!! Below you can set the likeliness of each country scoring well or not, according to your own viewing. You don't have to change anything of course, this is only an option to get a more realistic voting. It is recommendable that you set at least a few countries' chances below or above average. Have a try and decide what you like the most! Voting biases, based on statistics from the votings of the last few years, notably the infamous neighbour voting, are included in the voting. At last there also is a portion of randomness involved. This implies that there can even be a surprise winner, that was not indicated as a 'likely contender'. So can a 'likely contender' occasionally flop too. The scoreboard is optimized for Internet Explorer, Mozilla 1.5 should work fine too normally, but may cause flickering at times Have fun! Rate the secured finalists' chances first: Croatia Denmark France Germany Greece Israel Latvia Malta Moldova Norway Romania Spain Switzerland United Kingdom Now choose your 10 finalists qualifying from the semifinal and rate their chances too. Make sure not to choose the same country more than once!!! (the 10 countries selected by default are those ranked the highest currently by fans in the prediction poll) Additionally, choose: Let countries vote in the official order, established by a special draw Let semifinalists vote first, then finalist in order of appearance (like in 2005) Let countries vote in ISO order (like in 2004) Let countries vote in random order Let countries announce all their points (takes longer) Let countries only announce their 8, 10 and 12 (takes shorter, but is boring) Play in normal speed Play in somewhat faster speed Play it fast Play it the fastest possible (depends on your processor speed) Show me no voting, only the final ranking with points. © 2006 Eurovision Record Book
