Rapid Fire

[user37786]

We're trying to keep up with the eliminations...and it ain't easy. About 50 players have busted out so far and we're not even an hour into Day Two. Chip up or get up, that seems to the attitude.

Early Break

[user37786]

The players have been sent on break with 7 minutes left in the level because players are busting out so fast that it's becoming impossible to figure out how many players are left in the field and, therefore, whether we're moving up on the pay scales. So that will all be sorted out while we're on break.
