from 2+2

I just got back from registering. When I got there, they told me that they had temporarily closed day 1a, 1c, and 1d and that the only seat I could buy was for day 1b. They told me if I wanted to play day 1a that I'd have to come back 'later' when more seats opened up after day 1b had evened up.

This seemed rediculous to me, as I was there at 2am and there was no way day 1b was going to even up in the next few hours. How could they stop selling seats for day 1a before capacity when the tournament starts in 10 hours?

I asked for a supervisor and after some persuading got her to call Jack Effel who eventually gave the go-ahead to sell us seats for day 1a.

The whole process took about half an hour and was very annoying but I'll be there at noon today like I wanted.

Gl to all who are playing.

Pretty dumb. They should be more than happy to sell the seats for today as quickly as possible. So far they have been great...this sounds like the supervisor on site got a little out of control.

Any word on numbers yet?

I'm going down there shortly to sign up for the Megasat at 4pm. I'll see what I can find out. I'll certainly be there for the kickoff of 1A.

Pokernews has 1A at 1125 entries. Wonder how accurate that is.
