Scoreboard Controversy
On January 31, 2013, the official website of Miss World Organisation. released a statement regarding the scoreboard errors in the final telecast last August 18, 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 Organisation 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.[15]

Replacements
Bulgaria: Gabriela Vassileva replaced the original winner of Miss Bulgaria 2012, Ina Mancheva, after officials found out there was a mix up with the internet public votes and the judges votes. Ina originally won the most popular internet votes, not the judges votes.[132] Gabriela was originally the 1st-runner up at the national pageant, but after the vote audit, she was declared Miss Bulgaria 2012.
Fiji: Koini Vakaloloma replaced the original winner of Miss World Fiji 2012, Torika Watters, because Watters, 16, failed to meet the minimum age requirement of 17. Miss World Fiji pageant directory Andhy Blake acknowledged that he had erred in telling Watters she was eligible and stated that she would be eligible to compete in the Miss World 2013 pageant.[133]- Greece: Anastasia Sidiropoulou was replaced by Maria Tsagkaraki due to Anastasia being denied her entry into the pageant.
Ireland: Rebecca Maguire replaced the original winner of Miss Ireland 2012, Marie Hughes because Marie did not meet the age requirements of Miss Ireland, and was thus stripped of her title. Rebecca was the 1st-runner up at the national pageant, and was subsequently declared Miss Ireland 2012.
Latvia: Anastasija Skibunova replaced the original winner of "Miss Latvia 2012", Eva Dombrovska, was not able to represent her country because of scheduling conflicts with her university studies. Dombrovska will represent Latvia in Miss World 2013 in Bali, Indonesia on September next year.
Nigeria: Damiete Charles-Granville replaced the original winner of "Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria 2012", Isabella Ayuk due to Isabella lying about her actual age. Damiete was the 1st runner-up at the pageant and was originally scheduled to compete at Miss Universe 2012.[134]
