Well, I don't know. You'd have to ask ioi.

Here are a couple guesses for fun, though:
1. Japan runs until Sunday whereas NA/Others runs until Saturday...so it makes sense to make Japan last to have more time to gather data

So now Japan is last, how to choose NA/Others:
2. ioi is from the UK
3. Data takes time to enter and check, so unless ioi wants to spend every Monday entering tons of data, he has to pick one to do first

 Don't forgetabout different timezones. The US is 'behind' the rest of the world timewise, and if he is from the UK, would have access to their data first and then be asleep when the US would be able to start sending their data.
