Speaking as a spectator (I couldn't manage to play this one, though I'm very much intending to enter the next), Sunday afternoon was great entertainment. It was interesting to see the different strategies players used: in more than one game, no player bid under 40 minutes, leading to a more-or-less normal game where Black had draw odds; Adam Bremner made a bold but doomed attempt to keep Calum MacQueen out with three minutes on his clock; while Andrew Green calmly won twice as Black despite starting with 14 minutes. Definitely something different.
