Wandigo 1 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Since they can't fit 7,000+ players into one room on one day, they usually have certain days (heats) of players. Lets say they start a day with 2,500 people, they will then play down to maybe 800 people and stop there. Then the next group of 2,500 people will play down to 800 and so on. I've never played so I'm not sure exactly how it works but I think it goes something like that. Link to post Share on other sites
ford0067 0 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 You have I believe indirectly answered my question ...Your answer is the field is slow large that they can't fit everyone in one place so they break up the field over 3 days(I believe) ... play down so far then after all the flights are done they combine the remaining players.

yergan 0 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Related question:What do the blinds start at on the second day?Wouldnt be an issue if all 3 days ended at the same level, but how would they handle it if there were differences. Link to post Share on other sites

skits2 0 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I thought that they played to the same level everyday. I could be mistaken though. Link to post Share on other sites
