Not Yet!

The scheduled start time of noon has been and gone, yet we are nowhere near starting. The reason for this is the venue's insistence on scanning everyone's casino ID card before they enter the tournament area or the bar, and with only two card scanning machines in the building and probably around 300 players as well as media, staff and railers needing to have their cards scanned, the staff are struggling. This problem led to the dinner break being extended by 20 minutes yesterday, and we suspect that this will be the deciding factor in whether or not there are dinner breaks from Day 2 onwards.
Nevertheless, we're hoping that the 40 or 50 people squashed in the space by the elevators have their cards processed soon, and we should be getting this party started shortly.
