New tournament rule, courtesy of the developers of Microsoft Windows and Collins Zyzzyva: when you want to challenge words played, you must first complete a dialogue discussing whether or not you would like to activate Windows before you enter the number of words played and the words themselves. Either player may perform the new first step.

Service was reportedly a little slow at the hotel cafe, with some concerned players running downstairs shortly before play resumed to report that they had been waiting close to half an hour and not yet been served their food. All but three players were however ready to play by six minutes after the start time; thank you for your cooperation.
