The Open Solving Tournament had to be postponed from 10:00 to 13:00 on Monday, 29.07.24, due to the heavy storm crossing Jūrmala in the night from 28-29.07.

Jūrmala got almost isolated with a floods on the roads, trees fallen on the roads and railways.

Hotel had to postpone our breakfast to 10:00 as their workers couldn’t arrive to work at 5 in the morning as needed. Many solvers who didn’t stay in the official hotel had some troubles in getting in.

But the Open started succesfully at 13:00!
