That always did confuse me about the Triwizard Tournament. The only task that could be spectated was the first one with the Dragons. Task two spectators got to watch a murky lake for an hour and and the final task they stared at a wall of hedges.
Surely they could have had some sort of magical projections of the champions. Even if not like a live video feed (because of course the only moving pictures in the Wizarding world are the semi-sentient ones in the paintings and newspapers), surely they could have had some sort of progress tracker like checkpoints or a live map of their movements (like the maurader's map, but less advanced) so you could at least see some sort of indication placement in those races other than the take off and then their arrival back at the start.
I'm not even the spectator type but wizards are really bad at sports. Quidditch is so unbalanced the recent video game had to change the scoring system to make it less broken. And one of their more populat schoolyard games shoots stinking shit all over 50 percent of the particpants. Their candy is a bit ridiculous too. Who wants an acid pop that literally burns a hole in your tongue or a fucking feces flavored jelly bean?
