Wroclaw 2016: Wednesday September 7th

wroclaw 2016

Albert Einstein once said that “time is an illusion.” For teams looking longingly at the qualifying spots in their respective events at this tournament, time is very real — and it’s running out for many hopefuls. In the Open and Women’s series,there are five matches left: three today, two tomorrow. Seven matches remain in the Seniors and Mixed Teams: four today, three tomorrow. Teams with hopes of making the cut to the knockout phases of their events must make the best of the remaining opportunities. In the Open series, for example, the strong USA team captained by John Diamond ended the day in qualifying position for the first time since the round robin started on Sunday. Monaco, meanwhile, finished Wednesday in eighth place and must hustle to make the cut.
