Round 1 Concludes

We've cut the field in half now as we have reached the end of Round 1. Two hundred fifty-six players began the day, and just 128 of them remain. By the end of the night, that number will be cut in half again as tomorrow's field only allows for 64 players to return for the third round.

The action was lightning fast in this first round, with all but a handful of matches completed well within two hours. As the last matches finished up right at the three-hour mark, the players and spectators vacated the room for this extended break.

Round two will kick off at 10:00pm sharp. The full table draws will be posted just as soon as we get them typed up. Rest assured, it figures to be a fantastic series of matches. Stay tuned!
