A good number of votes in all groups so far - reminder these first round votes all close at 9pm this evening - at least approximately. If they run on, its because home life gets in the way! But dont chance it as you never know what is in store!
If there is a tie for any of the qualifying places, which semis group will be decided secretly by me with the toss of a coin or some such - either way, trust me that it will be totally fair! Obviously not for going through - ties get through - just for which group they subsequently land in
