Discuss WPT details with Executive Tournament Director Matt Savage - Page 25 - WSOP and Tournament Circut

Oakland isn't terrible, but it's 35-45 minutes in non rush-hour traffic (twice that in rush hour) from Bay 101, and a car is necessary. If you're coming just for Shooting Star, Oakland is a lot more hassle.

If the drawbacks were so obvious, you would have no problem explaining them. Your continued reluctance to do so seems to indicate the drawbacks are not so obvious.

I stand by the assertion that BSF is a preferred format when re-entry is allowed. It REDUCES the inclination for people to play sub-optimally near the end of day 1. And if someone is intent on cheating, BSF provides no additional incentive above and beyond what already exists in any re-entry format.

I won't humor you further.
