Major interest is to be expected on the night, especially with the UK being guaranteed a place in the final, along with Azerbaijan, France, Germany, Italy & Spain.
The other countries will play off in two semi-finals:

02 Iceland
03 Greece
04 Latvia
05 Albania
06 Romania
07 Switzerland
08 Belgium
09 Finland
10 Israel

09 Slovenia
10 Croatia
11 Sweden
12 Georgia
13 Turkey
14 Estonia
15 Slovakia
16 Norway
17 Bosnia and Herzegovina
18 Lithuania
Azerbaijan, Italy & Spain will vote in SF1. UK, France & Germany will vote in SF2.
Previous participants Andorra, Armenia, Czech Republic, Poland and er....Morocco will not be taking part. Nor will previous winners Monaco and 5-time winners Luxembourg. Liechtenstein was rumoured to be entering for the first time, but didn"t.
Of the 42 songs, 24 are in English, the lingua franca of pop music - UK, Azerbaijan, Germany, Montenegro, Iceland, Greece, Latvia, Switzerland, Belgium, San Marino, Cyprus, Denmark, Hungary, Moldova, Ireland, Netherlands, Malta, Belarus, Ukraine, Sweden, Turkey, Slovakia, Norway & Lithuania.
Albania, Serbia, Portugal, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Croatia, Estonia, Bosnia & Spain will sing in their own language.
The songs from Israel, Russia, Macedonia, Georgia, Italy and quelle fromage....France! are partly in their own language and partly in English.
The Finnish song is in Swedish and the Austrian one is in German, even though the Swedish & German songs are both in English. The Romanian song is in English & Spanish (eh?).
The Montenegrin song contains some Montenegrin & German phrases and the Albanian one, some Italian. The Bulgarian song includes sentences in Arabic, Azerbaijani, English, French, Greek, Italian, Romani, Serbo-Croatian, Spanish and Turkish. That should help with the voting.
I"m looking forward to the live performance of the Austrian song Woki Mit Deim Popo [Translation - Shake Your Ass]:

Bit of a faux-pas on the scheduling front, APAT. Do you realise that this tournament clashes with the Eurovision Song Contest or did you forget to check? Could you confirm whether there are televisions viewable from the playing area? I"d hate to cancel but clearly this could have been avoided if it was checked in advance.

No televisions will be showing the Eurovision Song Contest
Sorry you can"t attend.

FWIW I bubbled the seats in the now infamous rebuy and I"m reasonably sure I got the ££ I was expecting. Is there any way I can check? (for the sake of clarity, I"m not overly bothered)

Log in to your WH account. Click on "My Account" (top left of screen), click on "Tournament History" (list on the left). This will default to the history of the last 7 days, but you can select a different period if you have/want to.

You should be bothered. Even 1p "not paid out" to lots of players adds up and it"s not right. There was a banking scam back in the eighties where a guy nicked 1p from loads of accounts and it added up to a lot of £££. I don"t remember all the details but that was the gist. You wouldn"t be bothered about the loss of 1p but is it right?
I"m sure WH aren"t doing it on purpose, but once it"s pointed out to them they should be on it quick and sort it. Pay out even the people that haven"t noticed, not just the ones that complain. Perhaps with some sort of compensation. However, they appear not to give a toss.

I won a "seat" and ended up being paid the entry fee rather than being auto entered as expected. I have since registered, which left my account balance at Zero, although I have noticed that I now have 1p in my account, so anyone missing it please let me know! :D
