Has there been any talk of them being re-entry
When I did it late reg or alternates were not even factored into the logistics. With late reg it kinda opens a few more doors for opportunists.
i.e. Mr Money has already punted on a couple of players at lowest buy-in, the initial seat draw was to 7 so he now has a couple of shots to hit the right table and if he is sharp enough he will hit every time. It is now a stakers game of chess, do you use your pawns to inflict damage or get them to dump? All gets a bit complex and exhausting. The comp itself is magical as it sets comfortable personal entry levels, just the players spoil it by trying to exploit the many angles.
