VuGraph before the crash

Italy started the day with a third 25 VP win and although they could not maintain that pace they are still at the top of the leader board. They are followed by the Czech Republic and Lebanon. With Denmark and Sweden at the wrong end of the table, you can see just how strong these Championships are.

The day was not without drama as during Round 3 the main network totally collapsed, disrupting the VuGraph presentation, shutting down the Press Room and affecting the Internet connection. Fortunately the local network operating between the Bulletin computers survived, enabling this edition to appear.
