Tab Room Crash Delays Start of Rounds
A technical difficulty experienced in the Tabulation Room has caused a delay in Round 1 of the 2011 Macau UADC (originally slated for the morning of 18th May 2011).
An increase in the maximum point margin from 12 points to 15 points has been identified as the culprit, but the Tabulation Team is working full throttle to resolve the matter.
The Organising Committee however has assured participants that Rounds 1 and 2 will push through in the afternoon, whilst Round 3 will be held in the early evening.
In preparation for the rounds later in the day, participants have been served lunch.
Other Developments:
1. Two senior adjudicators are due to fly in today. Vipul Nanda (DCA for South Asia) and Logandran Balavijendran (subsidised adjudicator) experienced conflicts in their schedules due to exams and work-related reasons, respectively.
2. Three N=1 adjudicators were not able to make it to Macao for the following reasons: (i) The passport of one was blacklisted, (ii) One was rejected entry, and (iii) a death in the family.
3. The unofficial count of teams puts the total participating teams at 106.
