The organizers admitted that wanted to keep the intrigue.
The intrigue of who will win the Eurovision song contest in 2016, remained until the last seconds, and all because this year has changed the system of counting votes. It is reported by the Chronicle.Info with reference to Ukrainian news.
If from the jury and spectators were derived the arithmetic mean score, but now they are added. For example, the jury gave Ukraine Sergey Lazarev 0 points, and the audience – 12. Previously it was credited to Russia as 6 points, and now as 12.
Changed the order of Declaration of results: before, immediately issued a summary score, now first announced the judges ‘ scores, and then total score. It does not say to which country gave how much. So until recently, it was unclear who in the kings.
For example, Australian Demi Them, which was the leader according to the jury, won 2nd place. And Sergei Lazarev, who received from the audience 361 score was up to third. While Jamal in both rankings was the second (323 points from viewers and 211 from the jury), and the addition of points was the first.
Note that the maximum points we were supported by Poland, Georgia, Italy and San Marino.
The organizers of the Eurovision song contest in 2016 they say it was done, the audience watched the show until the end, and not as previously, when, after ratings from half of the countries it was already clear who will win.
But there is another version: the new system when you don’t know what country how much we gave, just for the competition was not accused of voting for the neighbours and for political reasons.
