In order to reach the $50,000 guarantee for Event #5 there would need to be an average of 84 entries for each of the six starting flights. Tournament staffers told us they were expecting around 80 for this morning's flight, and that number has easily been surpassed with 10 minutes still left on the clock. We're at 98 and counting right now.
