Of course. I get why they did it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't suck! I experienced the same thing you did on that Wed tournament. My thing was to go up there Tue afternoon, play in the Tue evening one, stay the night, then play in the Wed one. Same thing--tons of alternates, and if you didn't register at least 2 hrs early, forget it.
In my letter to Winstar, I pointed out to them that the only way they are getting away with this (offering crappy tournaments, then bumping the buy-in without changing the structure) is the lack of supply, as you pointed out, but that that was changing with the recently opened (at the time) Choctaw casino. So it's really cool to see this starting to come to fruition...
