Take Your Boom Mic Outside

This EPT event has an atmosphere that is completely unique to this stop. At most of the other events, six or eight camera crews would be roving the tournament floor, and at least a dozen photographers would be snapping their shutters away furiously. As we mentioned earlier, though, photos and videos are not permitted inside the tournament room here in Vilamoura. As a result, much of the normal EPT media are conspicuously absent, with a few of the video cameras lurking around outside the building, waiting for someone to go bust.

The result is a wonderfully vacant tournament floor. Due to the spacing of the tables, it's nearly impossible to reach the far corners of the room, but we're not complaining about the access by any means.
