Talk About a Cold Deck
Perhaps you remember this scene from last year's Main Event.
The Pavilion room has one table -- numbered White 63 this year -- that is absolutely freezing. It's hard to see what the source of the Arctic breeze is, but it almost has to be coming from the ventilation system overhead. The immediate vicinity of that table has to be at least 10 degrees cooler than in the rest of the room, and it became quite a source of complaints last year. This 2010 photo was taken after one of the players went to the shop during a break and bought Snuggies for his whole table.
We haven't really heard much about that the temperature situation until just now when a group of players called the floor over to Table 63. Taylor von Kriegenbergh and Darryll Fish are among the players seated over there, and everyone pleaded with the floor to do something about the temperature. From last year's experience, we're pretty sure there's nothing that can be done, but Adrian still offered to close the doors to the room and try to reduce the airflow, at least.
If you draw Table 63 this year, make sure you remember to bring your hoodie with you. Or a Snuggie!
