Bilingual Welcome
"It is a pleasure for us having the EPT back in Vienna after six years! Welcome to the Kursalon!"
The schedules for the days here are being run through (side events are going to be running soon too, and you can play under the Kursalon's chandeliers from 10am until 6am, apparently) in both English and German. Tournament director Thomas Kremser, in his element, explains that today they will be playing nine one-hour levels with a 90 minute dinner break after Level Six. He also points out the fire exits. We are half expecting him to show us how to put on our life-vests.
The players are on their marks, set... shuffle up and deal!
