Coffee, tea, bottled water, muffins, cupcakes, butter tarts and apples are available for players. As I mentioned in the morning announcements, local organizers had initially planned on keeping the water cool in a bin full of ice; when I said that this would lead to an unacceptable amount of water on playing tables, they quickly switched to Plan B, which was to bring in a bar fridge just for the event. I'm really enjoying the Maritime hospitality!
