A difficult day

Brighton 2011 – Day 5

We had problems with players sat in the wrong sections, people getting upset, scorer errors, and scorer system errors; and then I ended up having to give a judgement ruling when I should have been checking the scores and printing results. All in all, not a good day.

And then the hotel Wi-Fi has been down most of the time, so even blogging has been difficult.

You quessed it. One of my followers and his partner were meant to play in the Seniors Pairs Consolation but drew a starting position for the Open Pairs Championship. They took their places and did not notice all the juniors and ex-juniors ready to play in the Open Pairs. Just before start time, they did notice their mistake and tried to fit in to the Seniors event — causing confusion for both movements.
