GIB withdrew from the tournament before completion of the last round robin match because of technical difficulties. The GIB representative, Bart Massey, did not believe that the (network timing) problem that GIB was experiencing could be fixed in the one day extension granted him.

Today's 48-board semifinal matches:
Jack (+22) against Q-Plus Bridge
WBridge5 (+6) versus MicroBridge
