Nasty news for an Updater this

the £500 is playing 17 levels on its Days 1a and 1b with a 3am finish, I have been told

With the tournament condensed from three playing days to two and an hour clock on Sunday, its expected to take 28 levels total and end at 2am Monday assuming 200 runners

[smashedagain]

So you missed Alex bust if he is in the £150?

17 levels ..... Guesstimate runners through to day 2 for us tighty. Leave til reg closes for accuracy

11% of those in when today's registration closes at 7.15pm. there are currently 52 in and maybe 70 at close, so one table will come back from today

I have analysed the numbers through for the last 18 months on a spreadsheet at home and it varies between 14.3 and 19.6% with a mean of about 16% and a median of 17% but thats with 15 levels

So lets reduce that a touch and say 11%
