Here in Australia we don't have an open outcry system anymore at all. I think it got phased out completely around 10 years ago.

Whenever I saw those pit traders in a royal rumble I was always fascinated by how they actually managed to get anything done, it looks so chaotic with all those crazy hand signals and people pushing and shoving!

I guess the current trend is that we rely more and more on technology these days to get things done for us that why we as a planet are adding to the gravitational pull of the Earth with our ever expanding porcine bellies!
