Voting opens Sunday 6 September and closes 11:59pm Saturday 19 September. Open Category only. You need to sign in to vote so we can confirm every vote is a real person voting once. One vote per person.
Your vote is the biggest part of the result, but not the only part. YouTube views and comments on the elimination videos count as well, because that is real audience response.
We rank the Open DJs three times. Once by site votes, once by YouTube views, once by YouTube comments. The top five in each list score 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points. Site votes are then multiplied by four, YouTube views by two, and YouTube comments by one. The highest combined total takes the spot. That means the people who sign in and vote carry more weight than everything on YouTube put together.
YouTube views ×2 · maximum 10 points
YouTube comments ×1 · maximum 5 points
Site vote totals are live on this page. YouTube figures are updated once a day. The final reading is taken when voting closes, and the full scorecard is published with the announcement on Sunday 20 September, in the same format as the judges’ scorecards.
If ranks are tied, the tie is broken on site votes, then views, then likes. If it is still tied, the judges decide.
Votes we believe have been bought or generated automatically will be removed, and any DJ involved will be withdrawn from the AlphaTheta People’s Choice. YouTube is not a sponsor of this competition.
