Nul Points - Geographic Bias Inwards The Eurovision Vocal Contest

This Sat millions of Europeans volition sit down downwards to sentinel 3 too one-half hours of excruciating television. Much of that fourth dimension volition last spent listening to contestants from roughly Europe singing some of the worst songs always written. The balance of the eve volition too hence last spent watching judges from each Earth awarding points to their favorite songs.

The voting organization inwards the Eurovision Song Contest is ludicrously complicated. However, having endured a few of these contests before, I intend I know how the organization works. Basically each Earth awards the highest points to their nearest geographical neighbors.

You tin run into how this organization plant past times exploring a novel interactive map The European Song Contest - Points Map. Using the map y'all tin click on whatsoever of the participating countries to run into which countries convey awarded them the nearly points inwards previous Eurovision Song Contests. The darker a Earth appears on the map too hence the to a greater extent than points that Earth has awarded to your selected Earth inwards previous competitions.

If y'all play roughly amongst the map for a land too hence I'm certain you'll let on that my theory holds true. Points are awarded non on the character of the songs performed merely on how unopen y'all alive to the performers.
