Hey everyone, here's this year's version of the alternative results in which each country hands out points from zero to twenty-five.

As is tradition at this point, Germany gets a better placement. This year going up seven (!) places, sharing the record of biggest jump with France 2023. The biggest losers are Greece and the United Kingdom, dropping four places overall. Switzerland is a mixed bag, they are the new jury winner with this system and aren't last place in the televote anymore either! However being 23rd in the televote doesn't save them from dropping four places in the overall ranking as well.

I like this voting system much better, gives less of a shameful death to the countries on the last places and reflects differences between the acts over the full board, and not just the top 10.

Can you explain how you infer the jury votes from the remaining countries beyond the top 10?

Well as you can read place 1 gets 25 Points. Secound 24. Only last place gets Zero Points. If you get a lot of 11 pleces you would normally get also 0 Points with this system you get 15 Points.
