Running order
There are specific rules about how a country gets his running order.

The countries will be split in to groups (first- and second half). This will happen fully random. After, a team will create a running order.

Song
Each country sends one song to the contest. The song has to be in one of the official languages of the country. The song also can't be longer than five minutes.

Voting rules
After that all the participating countries have sang their song, each single country awards a set of points. The country who gets the most amount of points wins the contest. If two or more countries receive the same number of points, the country that received from the mst countries points, will be ranked higher. If that is also the same, then the country who have the highest rank of a country, will be ranked higher.
