[edit] Removed

I just removed 'and consequently left her out of the top 3 places.' from the end of 'This caused Parker to move into the last place of the final 6.' Why is being in the top three places important? Does that mean that she would advance? Or something such as. If it does have importance in some way please feel free to add it back and add details. With it left on there as it was it just leaves the reader wondering what was so important about it so I removed it. --ImmortalGoddezz 05:13, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes it is highly important. The top 3 participate in the final question... one is the winner, the others are the 1st and 2nd runners-up. There are three divisions, if you will... the semi-finalists, the finalists (those in the top 6 who don't make top 3), and then the runners-up and the winner. Will add back in. -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 05:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Well that's fine that you add it back in as long as you explain why being in the top three is important. As it were just saying 'she didn't make it into the top three' is not descriptive enough especially if somebody who is not knowledgeable about pageants comes here and reads that, it sounds like an incomplete sentence. --ImmortalGoddezz 05:54, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

please check the website www.nodice.ca/pageantalmanac. the website shows scores from 1978 to 2002 for teh correct scores and rankings. wexiner

[edit] Points Glitch

Can anyone verify the points glitch messing up her placement at Miss Universe? As I recall, they disregard the highest and lowest scores when they average the count which would mean that Yap's mistake didn't matter. Had forgotten about this... will have to research! -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 06:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

from wexine: the highest and lowest scores are tossed out and the rest are average. if a judge failed to enter a score then the total score is divided only by the number of judges who had voted.

[edit] Standings after semi-final round

Due to an error, the average scores of Lu Parker that were flashed on the screen after she was named to the final 6 was incorrect. She was actually sixth after the semifinals. The standings after the semis were as follows: Colombia, Venezuela, India, Slovak Republic, Philippines and USA. Ms. Parker's correct semi-final average is 9.561. After the final 6 interview her final standing is 4th.
