Generally the First place and the Second place winners advance to the area contest, but this time in place of the Second place winner, the Third place winner will participate in the area contest. This is because the Seconrd place winner TM M.H. is, due to her tight schedule, not able to advance further even if she would get the first place in the Area.
Thus, TM N.N. and TM Y.W. will participate in the area contest as our representatives.
