Eleven Levels Today

There's been some confusion among the players as to exactly how many levels are to be played today. "They only got through eleven levels last night?" one player asked. The dealer at his table replied affirmatively. "Really? The structure says we're to play twelve. Why'd they stop?"

The player was correct. The published structure schedule stated twelve levels would be played for each Day 1 flight. However the players were eliminated more quickly than anticipated yesterday. Only eleven levels were actually played due to a fear of losing too many players and potentially bursting the money bubble with only half the field in play on Day 1b.

The Day 1b flight needs to match Day 1a exactly, and as a result only eleven levels will be played today. The Crown tournament staff reiterated this fact over the P.A. system a few moments ago, but a few players were still confused.
