Odds are that day 2 will not see 60+ players, if it does, that's awesome, if not, what is the prize payout?

[That kid you all hate]

so it's 25 per day? And how does the prize structure work per day?

If day 2 doesn't hit 60, then I will do the same thing I did last time. I will use my phancy-schmancy excel spreadsheet to calculate my break even point taking into account magic trivia prizes, judges, etc. The I will give away the maximum amount I can. This will be specific down to the exact person so I can't give you a number like i can for the above 20 person wide intervals.

@the kid you all hate...It's 25 each day and that is the structure each day.

[That kid you all hate]

thanks. Because of some benign, and unexpected circumstances, I can make it to this, so I'm psyched.

[J.V.]
