The event is held in February when third-year high school students (the abi) end regular classes in order to prepare for their final exams, and the second year students become the oldest in the school. For the remainder of the school year, the second-year students are called vanhat ("the old", or " the seniors").

The day is one of the most important days for young people during their studies.
