Didn't the tournament used to start earlier?
Also is there ever going to be a chance of getting rid of the "free" side event that drains money from the main prize pool. I have no problem if they run a seperate side event such as 8 player win a boxs/cash tournies. I just remember that last time I was there it slowed down the main event while they tried to fill the side event and it made the main prize much smaller. Also I think it should be called a 2nd chance side event not a free side event because thats what it really is.

I think we've always started around that time (it used to be like 12:30 or later, I think), not sure at the moment.

We actually had a player meeting at the last event and decided to cancel the side event in favor of more cash. That's definitely possible, I'd ask Stephen about taking it out, in my opinion it would just be more profitable to have 8 man pods, etc. I'm sure we've talked about it in person, though, I agree with your thoughts.

I should probably bump this, as the event is Sunday.

Hope to get back to where attendance used to be.
