In every episode, a range of singers take to the stage, but waiting to judge each performance is 'The 100' – a unique panel of one hundred music experts and performers from across Germany.
During each heat, performers try and outscore their competitors in order to earn a seat on the top three podium. Whenever a performer scores high enough for a podium place, the act in 3rd place is eliminated as a result.
Prior to filming, all performers choose the song they want to sing. The 100 learn the words to all the songs before the show, but they don't know who is going to come out and sing said songs to them. Each song is approximately 100 seconds long, but importantly the 100 can only join in for the final 40 seconds as signified by a lighting change. This means that the 100 have the same amount of time to join in the singing for every act.[citation needed]
In the event of a tied score, the 100 review the full performances of both acts on monitors in studio. One member from the 100 decide which act they prefer. The act who was selected takes their seat on the podium, meaning that the act with the fewer votes either drops down a podium place or exits the competition.
For the final at the end of the show, scores are reset to zero and the three finalists perform again in front of The 100 with a new song chosen from a given shortlist, the performer in 1st place has priority. The act with the highest score after this final sing off wins the episode and with it a cash prize of €10,000.[citation needed]
