Another Structure Change
The players have asked for a structure change and they have just all agreed to it.
Instead of this being a two-day event, they have decided to change it to a one-day tournament. The level duration has decreased from 40 minutes to 30 minutes for each level.
Eight levels of late registration and unlimited reentries will be possible throughout those levels. A 15-minute break will take place after every four levels.
Slightly Longer Delay
Two players are seated at the tables right now with them awaiting the rest to show up as five players are currently registered for the tournament.
Structure Change; New Start Time at 5 PM
PokerNews has just been informed of a structure change for this event today.
The new scheduled start time is now 5 p.m. local time. They will play eight levels of 40 minutes each with a 15-minute break after Level 3 and 6.
Late registration will remain possible until the end of Level 11 on Day 2 which will start at noon local time.
Still Delayed
The start of the tournament is still delayed as they're waiting for at least five players to register before kicking off with the tournament. There are currently three players registered.
Start Delayed
The start of the tournament has been delayed as the organization is giving players more time to register.
