The organisers will now work on computers to provide latest results and information without any delay.

"Last year, we had installed desktop computers but they did not help much, so we decided to go for laptops this year," said Chief Organiser Sukhvir Singh Grewal. Grewal is a former international hockey player.

Internet connections from three different telecom companies have been activated to keep failed networking connections at bay. "In case one internet connection does not work, the other connections can be used. We are sending press releases and other required information to the media through internet," Grewal added.

It is not only the media centre, which is sporting a new look, traditional wooden bullock carts have also been replaced by all new look and trendy carts made of iron.

Though it was the last year that wooden carts were replaced with their new look alike, it is for the first time that they are being used in the present edition of games by participants. The new carts have the wheels of motorbikes, which make them lighter and add to their speed.

"We get these carts made from mechanics who specialize in this job only," said Jaswinder Singh, a farmer participating in the bullock cart races.

"Though these new carts are dearer, they are lighter and have more speed. So we have more chances of winning," said Baljinder Singh, a farmer from Manki village near Samrala.
