I spoke with Jimmy Sommerfield earlier and asked him what the rule was this year regarding late registrations. He informed me that if a player registers late to an event, they will start with a full chip stack. The player will then have to wait until it is their big blind before they are allowed to receive a hand. Any player that registers and either arrives late or just doesn’t show up will be blinded off. I asked him if he had received any complaints regarding this and he said, “Not a one. Then again, I don’t expect many people know that rule.”
