Players have returned from break. We have been told that we will play until either 3 am, or until we reach 16 players, whichever comes first.

However, things have been known to change in the past. It remains to see how much longer we will be here.

16 Regardless

[user42991]

Our friendly neighborhood Tournament Director just informed us that we are playing to 16 players "no matter what." She then followed that up with, "That's the story as it stands right now. It could change."

I couldn't have put it better. Play continues.

Those of you on the east coast, we like our eggs scrambled.
