The Numbers Aren't In?

At most poker tournaments around the world, the clock displaying the blinds and how long remains in each level normally also displays the number of players that started, and that remain.

Unfortunately here at LAPT Florianopolis, the clock may have the blinds and time remaining in the level, but it doesn't inform everyone in the surrounding tournament area exactly how many players started and how many remain.

From our calculations with forty tables in play at the start of the day, and the majority of them being ten-handed, we devise that roughly 370 players began the day.

With only thirty-two tables still in operation, all at nine-handed minus some empty seats, it leaves roughly 285 players still in the tournament.

Until we get an exact number from the LAPT staff, we are going to stick with our astute calculations!
