## Incidents

### Exclusion of Australia and England

The Head of Delegation of Australia and England had withdrawn due to "overorganization of the contest". As a result the entrys of Australia and England were suspendend mid-participation.

### Voting Issues with the Semi-Finals and Final

Unlike the Quarter Semi Finals were tons of people did end up voting. The semi-finals saw the lowest voting turnout since the existence of the song contest. Zero people ended up voting. As a result the Grand Final has been calculated by five people and AI. While the Semi-Finals were calculated by results from the organizers. As a result per next edition a new person will collect the entrys and votes.

## Other Entities

* Saxony was original on the list of participating countries but later withdrew due to the HoD replacing the country. It was replaced with  Cologne.
* The HoD from  Morocco and  Bermuda failed to deliver participation answers on time. Thus won't participate this edition. However just past the confirmation deadline a replacement for Bermuda has been found. Lilly van der Werf will replace Bermuda.
* The HoD from  Esperanto Community has changed. This will also mark the last Edition where Esperanto Community will participate.
