There will be a 15-minute break every three levels and a 60-minute dinner break at the completion of Level 9. Players will be allowed one re-entry should they find themselves eliminated, with late registration remaining open until the beginning of Level 13. Day 1 will play through fifteen levels or 12% of the field, whichever comes first.
