Brighton Day 5 - Upstairs and downstairs

A busy day: arrived at 10am to set up a fourth scoring computer, left after 12:30am when I had to redo the internet uploads. These were the days events:

U25 PairsUpstairs12:00-15:15 and 15:45-18:45
Open PairsDownstairs14:00-17:30
Seniors Pairs semi-finalsDownstairs14:00-17:30
Pairs Trophy (early bird)Upstairs19:00-22:30
Pairs TrophyDownstairs19:45-23:15
Seniors Pairs finalsDownstairs19:45-23:15

I had fifteen minute outside the venue for dinner while the U25 Pairs was finishing: ten minutes waiting for chips to be cooked and five minutes eating them in a shelter on the promenade.

The hairiest point of the day was merging the early bird Pairs Trophy data in with the other sections, while the main event was still in progress. This meant the competitors could watch complete scolling results as the last boards were played and the results were final as soon as play was complete.
