The Duels

edit

The first round of the season featured duels between two acts from different teams. After both performances, the audience and the two judges who did not have acts from their team competing in the duel would vote on which act should move on to the next round. Each of these three voting parties would count for one-third of the total vote. Whichever act received the majority of the votes would remain in the competition, and the opposing act would be eliminated. 12 out of 24 acts advanced to the next round.

The Finals

edit

The second round of the season featured six more duels between two different acts, who were selected at random. These duels did not require the acts competing against each other to be from separate teams. After both performances, the audience and the two judges who did not have acts from their team competing in the duel would vote on which act should move on to the final six and have the opportunity to win the Battle of the Judges and the €100,000 prize. Each of these three voting parties would count for one-third of the total vote. Whichever act received the majority of the votes would remain in the competition, and the opposing act would be eliminated. 6 out of 12 acts advanced to the next round.[3]

In the event that a duel featured two acts from the same team competing against each other, after both performances the audience and the three judges who did not have acts from their team competing in the duel would vote on which act should move on to the final six. Each of these four voting parties would count for one-fourth of the total vote. Whichever act received the majority of the votes would remain in the competition, and the opposing act would be eliminated.
