For those who failed to qualify or haven’t played yet, another chance presents itself today with Day 1b, starting at 12:30 p.m. local time. This second flight follows the exact same structure as Day 1a, featuring 45-minute levels and ending once only 25% of the field remains.
The only difference concerns the entry rules: players who participated in Day 1a but didn’t qualify will be allowed to play Day 1b only once. However, those who haven’t registered yet can enter and re-enter during Day 1b.
