This will be the thread where I post all the finals. The rules for each final will be the same.
Keep in mind voting on regular rounds and nominations are still ongoing in the other thread.
The deadline for each final will be december 1st 05:00 am TST
Many thanks to everyone who nominated songs. Of course, people who did not are still very welcome to participate.
The final round for each group has 10 songs. Since people might not want to rank 10 songs for six different groups, you have three options to vote:
-Give your top 10 songs 12,10,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 points
-Give your top 5 songs 5,4,3,2,1 points
-Give your top 3 songs 3,2,1 points

For the final categories we are still in the nomination phase (recent songs) and in the voting phase (french). We need more nominations and more votes to get these done on time. Finals will be posted here once the voting phase is finished. (The final deadline will be the same)
We still need more votes on the groups currently being voted on before we can add the last two finals. That said, the deadline for these four finals remains unchanged. I don't think theres enough enthusiasm to do an election night tmt broadcast in the discord but I will still post the results here around the same time.
Vote before december 1st
We only have 2 votes (including my own) on the groups so far and I don't think a TMT election night broadcast is gonna happen. Meanwhile there is some movement in the group voting.
Therefore I think the best course of action now is to postpone the deadlines for the finals until weve finished with all the group stages. Once these are done hopefully we can try again with the finals and hopefully get some more participants and a proper results reveal.
Any votes before then will of course be counted.
