Semi Final 1 - Nations in Semi Final 1 and half of the big five get to vote; 10 winners

Semi Final 2 - Nations in Semi Final 2 and half of the big five get to vote; 10 winners

Final - Everyone gets to vote; 1 winner - goes straight to final in next contest

Also, have it so that if you break the rules, your points get multiplied down. For example:

Submit song too early = 0.75
 * Transdavaria submits song too early
 * Transdavaria gets 87 points
 * Penaly for submitting too early is 0.6
 * Penalty applied: 87 * 0.6 = 65.25 ~ 65

Do not vote = 0.6

Rage = 0.8

Sabotage = 0.5

Those numbers can be changed if you want.
