Battle of Countries
Teams by profile country, one reference for everyone.
In short: Battle of Countries is a friendly ranking of delegations by the countries in artists’ profiles. At least two countries are required. A delegation’s result is the average score of all its participants; artists state their own country, so it is not an official national selection.

How it feels
It is a festival: artists from different countries and time zones work the same reference. You see “your delegation” and pull its average up together.
The mode is gentle in tempo but lively in spirit: the more artists from your country, the more interesting the ranking. It is ideal for international communities and online meetups.
Who it is for
For international communities, online courses and friends from different countries.
- international communities
- online schools with students from several countries
- anyone who wants to feel PMU as a world arena

How points work
- A delegation’s country is taken from the artist’s profile at the moment the event starts.
- A country’s result is the average total score of all delegation members, not the sum.
- This is a friendly ranking, not an official national selection.
