Apart from decision blunders by the arbiters, The WYCC 2013 organisers were simply overwhelmed by the logistics.
At around 8pm & After playing 5 rounds (The U10 Open had only played 4rounds then), the organisers announced that the balance 2 rounds will be played at a later date to be announced. This is to ensure that the Cultural Night are well attended.
Huhhhhh!!! Have never attended a Blitz competition....a FIDE-rated one some more where the blitz event is held on 2 separate days.
In my opinion, they should have either:-
(1) Just Conducted the Open competition on 1 day & Girls event on a separate day; or,
(2) Announce the "break" after the 3rd or 4th round.Definitely NOT after the 5th Round.
