My recommendation did not win, but I am happy with the picks representing '.ca' and I learned about so many great songs beyond my usual stuff. The French category is on repeat the past couple of days, and I have Dogue stuck in my head.
The organization of it was great, thank you so much for your work!
> I decided on the Borda count, normalized by the number of choices ranked, so that voters who ranked fewer songs are not disadvantaged compared to those who ranked all of them.
I really like this, I heard about Borda count when people discuss ranked voting, but this normalization seems to improve it a lot.
And seeing it on practice is next level. Thanks for teaching me something!
When I checked where else people use Borda
> The Eurovision Song Contest uses a heavily modified form of the Borda count, with a different distribution of points
So it makes sense for Lemmyvision.
Cheers.

Came for the tunes, stayed for the discussion on normalized vs inverted Borda Count.
