Director's call: Players are missing tiles from their game, are instructed to inform staff which tiles are missing.

Player's response: "9 As, 2 Bs, 2 Cs, 4 Ds, 12 Es, ...."

We are playing our last game (starting at 18:30) without a break for dinner, but staff have distributed croissant sandwiches to players to keep their spirits up.

Director's call: My opponent has challenged seven of my ten plays.

Ruling: Challenges are free, but frivolous challenges are considered unethical and subject to penalty. For the rest of this game, challenges will be adjudicated by a human word judge, who will be attentive to the possibility of frivolity.
