Hey so basically this week has been pretty open for me to start something that I always thought was a fun idea: A Britain's Got Talent fantasy season. Basically, here's a breakdown of the proposed rules / ideas I was thinking of (that are subject to change):

1. Around a maximum of 120 acts can be in the audition stage. These acts are determined by the judges bringing in any acts they want until it gets to a certain number (basically an informal selection of who gets to "audition"). Preferably acts are either from Got Talent or recorded from a live performance, but technically anything would be allowed. The order of the acts in each audition episode will be randomized.

2. The amount of judges should either be 3 or 4 (either one works tbh). Each judge would get a golden buzzer in the audition round, but the current plan is to have a system where "You use it or lose it." This is also subject to change. Each judge will be determining who is in the top 45 and also making the judge pick in each of the 5 semifinals, where they pick between the 2nd and 3rd most popular act.

3. After the audition round, all the acts that got a majority of "Yes" votes by the judges will then be whittled down to a top 45. While I am considering the potential of a second round system, I think it would be best to do it like the real show and narrow it down. If there is somehow less than 45 acts who got "Yes" votes then acts eliminated will have to be invited back to fill the spots, but chances are this will probably never happen.

4. Acts will be placed in each semifinal (with no more than one golden buzzer per show) either by the judges or by random system. After giving verdicts, voting will open for a few hours. VOTING WILL BE OPEN TO NON-JUDGES. However, if you vote please make sure to watch every act out of fairness. Each act can be given anywhere from 0 to 10 votes. The top act of the semifinal will secure a place in the final and the acts in 2nd and 3rd place will be voted on by the judges. Out of the runner-ups in all 5 semifinals, 1 will be voted back in by the judges to be a wild card in the finals.

Alright, so those are all the rules. If you're interested in being a judge just respond here. However, my schedule is going to get a lot more tight in the coming weeks, so the sooner this starts the better. I'll go into more detail about the auditioning acts with the judges once those are finalized. And again, anything written here is subject to change, but this is currently the proposed format. Thanks for reading!
