When i asked the floor if they would allow more than one person to play at once they told me it was a max of 1 person for the zoom challenge at a time. Hope I can get some sort of compensation back for this..
This is important because the event organizers claimed that they would have let more than one person play at once earlier in the tournament, but just that nobody had asked to do it.
