BackgroundControversyOn 31 January 2013, the official website of Miss World Organisation released a statement regarding the scoreboard errors in the final telecast last 18 August 2012. Miss World was under siege after beauty watchers, fans and even National Directors noticed some inconsistencies in the scoring system. According to the official statement of the Ionoco Ltd., it says that the errors occurred on the graphical scoreboard were solely caused by human error on part of the operator. Miss World Organization provided the Ionoco Ltd. with verified scores, however, the operator failed to update the score table correctly resulting in a discrepancy between the position of the contestants in the scoreboard and the point values displayed.[1] Debuts, returns, and, withdrawalsThis edition saw the debut of Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and South Sudan, and the return of Angola, Ethiopia, Fiji, Guyana, Macau, Malawi, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Seychelles and Suriname; Fiji, which last competed in 2004, Seychelles in 2008, and Angola, Ethiopia, Guyana, Macau, Malawi, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Suriname in 2010.
