The countries are shared out between the volunteers, by random chance. A live draw will happen at

The volunteers gift A$50 to play to Pythia, our Forum bank account
The first 3 winners takes all collected.

Sign up to show your interest. Once the players ( Sweepers ) are known, countries are shared equally. The Stake of A$50 is paid to Pythia.
When the Eurovision Song contest final is broadcast and winners decided. The players here holding the winning countries , wins the Stake , ie – all the A$ collected as indicated above. If in the event the actual winners are not held by a Sweeper, then the sweeper holding the next highest rated country will win the Stake indicated.

This is a bit of fun and it’s always nice to receive a little windfall. Hopefully there will be enough interest for the winner to buy a new pose or outfit.
