Something, you don't normally see.

Let's start in the Press Room. Here journalists from all over the world are preparing articles, discusing boards and just spending their time.

 

Now we're heading to the similar room - Daily Bulletin - news and articles for Championship participants. On the second photo you can see Bulletin's Co-Ordinator and Editor - Mark Horton.

 

Let's leave the press and check with organising staff. Here you have Main Office - people in charge of the tournament and all the equipment you can think of (and some you can't even imagine)

Next door... and cards, cards, cards everywhere. I think we just stepped into duplicaton. Don't look at the hand records!

Room next door seems hostile. After opening it, freezing air strikes in the face. Only servers and the toughest IT guys can survive here

 

They seem relaxed, but don't get fooled. Bridgmates, monitor screens, projectors, printing hand records, personal scorecards, counting results and correcting scores... They have a lot on their minds.

Let's check also Onsite Championship Manager's office

and vugraph - it's really better then cinema 

And let's not forget about the people you see and talk to the most - hospitality desk. Here - preparing gifts for open, women and seniors teams participants:

And the last, but not the least - tournament directors. All decisions (excluding simple procedural ones) are consulted to ensure the best posible outcome

 

Before going home, let's visit souvenirs shop, just outside playing area:
