Over a nail-biting 40 hours, the scoreboard for EGMO 2020 was populated with scores from this year’s 52 participating countries. It was certainly fun sitting at the top of the leaderboard for such a long time while all of Europe slept. In the end, it was only in the final hour that medal cut-offs could
With Day 1 of the contest starting at noon, the Australian team didn’t stay up until midnight to watch the EGMO 2020 virtual opening ceremony as it went live. However, we did all enjoy getting together online in the morning to watch teams from all around the world flash by on our screens to mark
