Big mess in the Northern contest, which may have a new winner “delayed” | Radio Club Tenerife | The Canary Window

Big mess in the northern costumes contest. On the morning of this Wednesday, the order of the podium was changed, giving Trinkosos the second and Cascarrabias the third prize for an error in the sum of the jury’s scores. But there may be even more changes.

According to what the SER has learned, the Los Cascarrabias murga has detected that they were awarded “several zeros in the humor section in phase and final”, which is not contemplated in the contest rules. “The minimum score is one,” remarks Salva Quintero, its president.

“There may still be more changes, because there is a regulation that makes it very clear that you cannot qualify with zeros, and we have a few,” he confirms. “We have many zeros in phase and in final; and all zeros would have to become ones. Due to a failure of sums they took away the second and now it turns out that we can be winners two days later”, announces Quintero, who has already been informed of that the Comunorte (the organization) had called a new meeting tonight.

“This episode harms a lot the reputation of the contest of murgas del Norte, which are killing him,” reveals the president of Los Cascarrabias.

Once the performances ended last Saturday in Puerto de la Cruz, the Tiralenguas de Icod were proclaimed the winner of the North, which would be awarded their access to the Santa Cruz contest in 2021. But there could still be a change in the name of the victor. The contest has been involved in controversy for years. Without going any further, this edition produced the pass to the final of Los Pizzicatos and they decided not to appear in it for not having prepared the four themes that the organization demands. Thus, on Saturday there were only five campuses on the stage of the 11 that initially went out to competition. Poor image for an event that weakens over the years and irreparably loses prestige.
