| Draw
for Playing Order |
This
year, the drawer for playing order went hi tech, with candidates
being issued with an ID card. As each contestant drew for playing
order, their card and corresponding drawer number were scanned
and the onscreen display simultaneously updated to reflect the
playing order! Designed by Ville Mattila of Eventio Ltd., everyone
was excited to experience the updated technology.
Photographs of the groups of contestants will be placed on the
review pages pertaining to each of the seven categories of competition.
