By the Numbers
At the end of Level 7 the tournament clock said 500 players remained. Since we started the day with 2,340, this means we have lost 1,840 players during seven levels, or seven hours (420 minutes) of play.
Breaking this down . . . 1,840 elminated players/420 minutes = 4.38 players eliminated per minute. This is a slight drop from earlier in the tournament, but the players are still hitting the rail fast. Our guess is that we'll reach the 15% mark before the completion of ten levels.
