Also if I didn't notice the scoring error in the Greek jury vote, Sweden would have won instead of Czechia

I am pleased to announce that the Grand Final will take place on Sunday 10th November, with the opening ceremony taking place tomorrow night. However there are still a few things I need to go through before then. 
 
1. There is still a distinct possibility that  will have to be withdrawn from the contest. @avlar has still not sent his Jury votes and if he still hasn't done so by end of play Saturday then I will be forced to withdraw  from the contest. To prepare for this outcome, I will message all of the jurors who have voted for  but haven't named a reserve to replace them with to name one incase this happens. I will also do this to anyone who is placed below  in the voting order as  will still be included in the draw and the opening ceremony. 
 
2. The time for the closing ceremony is subject to change as it all depends on when the main contest finishes. 
 
3. The festival of music is still open but will close at 8pm GMT tomorrow so if anyone wants to put in a last minute entry you've got till then to do so, remember it's a maximum of 4 countries per juror. 
 
4. I need some volunteers for the draw, so if anyone would like to come forward and help draw it out that would be much appreciated. There will be 2 separate draws, one for the running order and one for the team comp, and the draw will commence in around 15 minutes time.
