## Questions and answers

### What is THE TEN?

THE TEN is an upcoming guide to the ten best clubs and bars in each of the world's party cities, in the spirit of a restaurant guide but for nightlife. Before the first edition, we ask people who go out in these cities to vote for their personal top ten on topclubs.eu.

### How does the THE TEN community vote work?

Choose a city on the globe or in the list, then fill your ranking from number one to number ten. You can pick from suggestions or type in a place yourself. At least five places are needed in cities with a full suggestion list, one place is enough everywhere else. Submitting takes about a minute.

### Which cities can I vote for?

Madrid, Munich, Berlin, Zurich, Düsseldorf and Paris have full suggestion lists, Amsterdam, Budapest and Hong Kong have first suggestions from the community. More than 50 other party cities are open for first suggestions, among them London, Paris, Ibiza, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Budapest, Dubai, New York, Miami, Tokyo, Singapore and Hong Kong. If your city is missing, type its name in the search and add it as a new city.

### What counts as a club or bar in THE TEN?

THE TEN is about lifestyle nightlife: clubs and bars with a real door, a strong crowd, good interior design, music and table service. Restaurants and private members' clubs are not part of the ranking.

### How is the ranking calculated?

Every ballot gives points by position: number one gets 10 points, number ten gets 1 point. Places are sorted by total points, ties are decided by the number of first place votes. Different spellings of the same place are counted together. Once a city has 10 votes, its live top ten appears on this site and updates with every vote. For the published guide, the community result is combined with the assessment of a jury of local nightlife experts.

### Is voting anonymous? Do I need an account?

Voting is anonymous and needs no account, no name and no email address. We store only the city, your ranking and the time of the vote. There are no tracking cookies and no advertising.

### How often can I vote?

Please vote once per city. To keep the result fair, a connection can submit only a few votes per city and day. This check uses a salted hash that is deleted after seven days, the IP address itself is not stored.

### A club or bar is missing. How can I suggest it?

Type its name into the search field and add it as a new place. It then appears as a suggestion for everyone voting in that city. Different spellings of the same place are shown only once.

### When will THE TEN be published?

The first edition of THE TEN is planned for early 2027. Until then the vote stays open and new cities are added as votes come in.
