    Yea would be a really nice contest to play...unfortunately it caters to posters on the west coast, college kids, and posters with no jobs. ...but hey maybe that's what fills the seats

    Oh come on, bring back the 9pm. Or at least move the 7pm to 8 or 9pm. When does the middle age with jobs and kids demographic get some love.

    Yeah, 8pm is doable. That 7pm is brutal and 11pm is too late.

    Not real hard to make the top 100. As a matter of fact, it is real simple to make the final 100. I mean only 120 can play each day and sometimes only around 110 play

    Is there any advantage to finishing first instead of 100th?

    if you let 100 people in, the higherups should be rewarded with a bigger chip stack in the main event

    ie top 10 10k 11-20 9k and so on

    seems like the preliminaries are almost meaningless

    Outstanding, the time slots are good for me but seems that there are a lot of players that need different time slots see what you can do Sammy

    4 months to qualify, top 100 and everyone starts with same stacks in 100 person crapshoot at the end?

    I like the rewards, just wish there was an advantage for those who end up high in the standings at the end and those that sneak in.

    Since you must be pro to be in the final tournament, I'm assuming 700-800 points will qualify.

    i expect the daily tournament participation to drop in this because they arent necessary to play every one, which is a good thing since prizes are the same

    My guess is tourney participation stays pretty much the same throughout .I think you're right that it may drop a bit towards the last month though.
