That really sucks guys. I didn\'t want to post this beforehand because it\'d be a buzzkill, but I guess I can say it now: Every musical competition there ever was is fixed. The best player or band NEVER wins. It\'s about who the judges\' boy is, and there\'s always a judges\' boy, every time. If there are lots of rounds, such as this competition, then it might be legitimate for a round or two where nothing of any significance is at stake but that\'s it. It doesn\'t make it fair, but you have to approach these things with a big grain of salt and really can\'t get too upset over them. You have to go in assuming that it\'s fixed and expecting to lose. Then you can laugh at it on the way out as just another stupid fixed music competition, and forget about it by the next day. If you go in under the mistaken notion that the best player will win and that you have a chance to be the best player, you will only come out disappointed.
