EBU reveals split televoting and jury results
Today, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) officially reveals the split televoting and jury voting results of the Semi-Finals and Final of the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest. Viewers at home also ranked winner Azerbaijan first, while juries of music industry professionals had Italy on top of their list.
1 to 8, 10 and 12 points were given by juries and televoters in each country, then combined, and the combined top-10 would determine the actual vote given by that respective country (final result), whereas jury and televoting counted for 50% each.
Viewers at home ranked Azerbaijan's entry Running Scared first with 223 points, while juries awarded the song a second place. Italy won the jury vote, but ended up on the second place in the combined result after televoters had made up their minds.
The split results of the Final were as follows:

How have the jury votes and televotes been combined?
In each country, the top ten entries of the jury receives 1 to 8, 10 and 12 points. Then, the top ten of the televoters also receives 1 to 8, 10 and 12 points. These two lists are combined by the contest's voting partner Digame.
The combined list contains between ten and twenty countries; minimum ten countries in case the jury and the televoters voted for the same ten countries, and a maximum of twenty countries in case the jury and televoters each had ten different countries in their top ten.
The country that received most points in the combined list receives 12 points in the voting, the runner-up receives 10 points, and so on, until the tenth country on the combined list receives 1 point. In case of a tie on the combined list, the country that receives the most points from the televoting prevails.
The countries outside of the top ten on the combined list get no points from the country that votes. This explains why the countries that received a lot of points from the juries, but few points from the televoting (or the other way around) get few points in the combined ranking.
