Extra Time

A spectator on the rail was timing the event levels with his stopwatch and found that the tournament clock was running fast. Word spread to the players and the players began complaining to the tournament directors about losing playing time.

The cause is said to be some sort of computer glitch according to some of the tournament directors. One of them mentioned, "We've got about 17 people in the back working out the problem and I'm certain they'll get it fixed."

As a result, the directors have decided to give the players 10 more minutes of play for level two starting after the break.
