WSOPc $365 tourneys are generally ITM at 3kbb, which is 15 levels and 8 hours of play. Playing noon-midnight would come back to 6kbb, easily ITM

Please re-read my post. Literally nothing about the tourneys change. You are ITM in these circuit events way before midnight and you are just playing three levels at noon-2pm instead of midnight-2am.

While I know I am not the norm, I have to say that it sucks to be rolling over without an alarm clock at 5AM and have to kill seven hours before cards go in the air. Even in Las Vegas for the Series (where it was worse and my body was thinking 3AM was 5AM), cash games were not exactly rocking in the early hours...and for Circuit events, it is less so. As such, there is a decided DISadvantage for some of us who are accustomed to conventional sleeping schedules during the week...
Choctaw falls into a group of casinos such as Cherokee NC, Foxwoods, Hammond and Horseshoe Southern Indiana where many if not most players drive to the casino daily rather than stay on property. Having a 10AM start time would require those who commute to leave around 8AM in order to get to casino on time incase of traffic problems etc. this would require them waking up at 5AM-6AM something many aren't used to. 10AM start times have been tried at several events around the country and have received more complaints than approvals. But Jimmy Sommerfeld has always been known as a player friendly TD so I would suggest that you approach him with your request and he will consider it and maybe try it for a couple of tourneys and judge players reactions.

Will the January $365 million dollar guarantee ring tournament pay 5% or 10% of the field?

Ring event #2 a 6 flight $365 entry with a $1,000,000 guarantee will pay 10% of the field.

I've never seen Jimmy change a schedule after it is out but I guess there is always a first time.

Was worth a shot. Maybe next year there will be more variety if many others feel the same way. Thanks for all the responses bigtex, and best of luck to you in the series!

Will structure sheets be out soon? Curious to see if all events are re entry.

Jimmy should have them out soon but I would expect all will be re entry. Thanks to Matt Savage for starting re entries. I for one never liked rebuys but hate re entries. Never liked having knocked a player out then see him sitting with more chips in the same tourney.

So according to strcuture sheets, the re entry doesn't bag until 2am and 7am for 12pm and 5pm flights?

Did Event #2 a 200k gtd (iirc) a few years ago and had a great weekend w/ my now wife. Bumping that guarantee up to 1 MM def gonna bring me back. She's going to get baby duty though to make this happen. Friend already backed out on me .. 2 months in advance ... which is good I guess, so I might be looking to split a room so I don't have to be a weird loner with only your chips to keep me company, so PM if interested.

Looks that way very unusual for Jimmy to do this but I assume the WSOPC time constraints (12 rings in 12 days) probably has a bearing on it.

Re entry flights always play short to the money, they bag after level 15. Eight hours of play plus breaks.

Evidently there was a mistake on structure sheet as it has been changed. Play ends at level 16 or 6% of field.

Typo... 15 levels 8 hours plus 15 minute breaks. Thanks for catching it.

Always said you needed a proof reader.

Well what does everyone think, O/U 4,000 runners for the re entry?

While we are on the subject of proof reading structure sheets....the $580 turbo ring event says 10k in starting stack. Should be 12k correct?

IMO you are correct as all same type of circuit events are supposed to be the same reguardless of city.

How much do they take out of the prizepool for admin fees, or whatever? Rake is already super high
