Alas these tourneys are not as popular as the WPN expected. I was able to get only 11 $30s going within half an hour
at a peak time, having 2 tables running at once on average, even though I was always registered for 1-3 more tourneys (i.e. wanted to play all tourneys the seating algorithm could give me). I can't complain about cashing in 9 out of the 11, though (which was lucky because the rec-to-reg ratio isn't as spectacular as expected
). Their average duration was 5.9 minutes, i.e. about as long as a winner-take-all JPT.
