I think you cannot fault Nanos or any other firm for planning a complex display for montreal, otherwise the competition will be just like any other competitions. Don't forget that even though it's their first time competing in Montreal, it's not their first time producing a show! Producing a show is always an on going process up to the last minute which explains why the flame boxes were aways changing in number. It seems they've managed to set everything up right and completely, unless they were putting empty platforms in the lake just for show. It was probably just bad luck, it's hard when the computers take over the display
