In order to keep the competition as realistic as possible, there never is a witch. Choice of whom to burn is not a point factor, just how much "evidence" can be piled up around the pyre, and how fast one can get it flaming. Experts in this event know how to quickly assess the panel to find the most convictable, while being careful to remember that low social status of the burnt offering is the best insurance against blowback.
