No streamed video this round or likely next; someone unplugged my iPhone and it needs to recharge.

Much moving of furniture at the end of this round, as we determined that the upstairs room does not in fact have working air conditioning, and we had too many warm bodies heating up the room when its doors were closed. In the 15 minutes or so as people were gradually leaving each room, we managed to move seven of the tables; thank you to all those who noticed what we were doing and lent a hand.

In the Open Division:

Helen Gipson (Sco) beats Kevin Synnott (Eng) 445-392 and Allan Simmons (Sco) beats Theresa Brousson (MLT) 451-408, so now there are only two undefeated players, and they'll play each other next round.

Jim Lyes (Eng) beats Louise Love (AUS) 414-393, so now everyone has at least one win.

In the Second Division:

Dominic Borg (MLT) remains undefeated after a 386-325 win over Ebikeme Adowei (NGA). He is now 6-0 +609.

Paula Docherty's (IRL) 440-332 victory over Anna Borg (MLT) was the largest rating upset of the division, 1124-715 = 409 points.
