WSDC begins with Round Zero

As Washington felt the edge of the hurricane outdoors, WSDC began in the safety of the indoors, with the adjudicators' briefing begun with a power point presentation by Aaron Maniam before the large group of about 75 broke into 3 groups, the new, the not-so-new and the old hands.

In the afternoon, Round Zero began, the details of which are as follows:
