Director call: Unnamed tournament official playing in the event is too noisy conducting tournament business on cellphone, will be asked to take calls outside the playing room.

Director call: Water spill at Board 1. Spare table brought into service.

Director call: Overdraw of two tiles when one was supposed to be draw. Rule 3.9.5(b)(ii) applies: "unless only one replacement tile should have been drawn, in which case the opponent turns face up all newly drawn tiles". As it turned out, the two tiles were both U's.
