By 10 AM, the audience had finished entering the venue.
As the host, the Mieln Federation didn't have much work to do, nor did they hold a grand opening ceremony.
They only arranged for a group of cheerleaders to dance on the stage for the audience to enjoy.
After the leaders from various countries took their seats, the Mieln Federation's international superstar, McKenna, sang a song as a warm-up show.
Then, Hawkins, the host, appeared on the stage in a black suit.
Hawkins first explained the background and significance of the competition as described in the promotional video, and then began to introduce the important guests.
He introduced the leaders of the eight participating countries, then deliberately paused and shouted in a slightly exaggerated manner.
