There are 7 different age groups that give their points separately and one extra set of points for telephone voters. This means that an entry can be receive more votes but don’t get enough points to qualify – e.g. if the majority of voters are from one age group. This year that was obvious during the 5th semifinal (former Second Chance Round).

During the 1st Group of the 5th Semifinal Alvaro Estrella received 1,045,540 votes and Anna Bergendahl 863,838. Despite that, Anna qualified for the final with 77 points, having an average of 9,6 points per voting group. However, Alvaro got 71 points, with an average of 8,75 points per voting group.

Moreover, at the 2nd Group Cazzi Opeia placed 1st among the competing entries, despite having receive only the 3rd most votes. Her 76 points gave her an average of 9,5 points per group.
