2025 TMT20 Special Edition: FINAL VOTING

[Glüc]

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

SEND YOUR VOTES TO ME IN A PRIVATE MESSAGE. DO NOT POST THEM HERE.

The top-ranked song that has not already been nominated to a previous edition of the TMT20 will be automatically nominated to the 2026 regular edition.

Tiebreakers:
- Number of voters giving 12 points
- Number of voters giving 10 points
...
- Number of voters giving 2 points
- PPV in Round 1
- Random chance
