National Final
The National Final took place on March 6, 2001 at Rex nightclub in Athens and the host of the show was Dafni Bokota. At the start of the National Final, there were 9 songs competing. Each of the songs was performed and the "expert" jury voted for its favorite. The four songs that received the most points were then performed for a second time where the winner was chosen via televoting (50%) and a second vote by the "expert" jury (50%). The winner of the televoting was rewarded four points, the second placed song three points, the third two points and the fourth one point. The same point value was awarded with the jury's vote. In the event of a tie, the televoting result was given greater value.

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or final:
“The American, if he has a spark of national feeling, will be humiliated by the very prospect of a foreigner’s visit to Congress—these, for the most part, illiterate hacks whose fancy vests are spotted with gravy, and whose speeches, hypocritical, unctuous, and slovenly, are spotted also with the gravy of political patronage, these persons are a reflection on the democratic process rather than of it; they expose it in its process rather than of it; they expose it in its underwear.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“Parents can only give [children] good advice or put them on their right paths, but the final forming of a person lies in their own hands.”
—Anne Frank (20th century)
