- Concerns were raised by fellow entrants and volunteers, prompting organisers to question those involved after the competition.
- Kyle Mathews, the event’s Toss Master, said the individuals apologised and accepted disqualification.
- Event rules require naturally formed Easdale slate under three inches in diameter, but reports describe machine-ground, near-perfect circles and small notches.
