By around 8:00 there were 13 people on the list. They still didn't call the list. I finally went up to floor person and asked him if they would call the game. He gave me a disgusted look like i was bothering him and looks up at the board and said there weren't that many people on the list. I told him there were close to 15 people on the list. After arguing with me he radioed the front desk and they called the list and we started a game within 5 minutes. Players shouldn't have to do the job the floor persons are paid to do. This is not an isolated incident and is something i have seen happen on many occasions.
That particular game cools off rather suddenly when there are three short handed games, spaced apart so it takes work to count the empty seats. I doubt that is the actual reason they were slow to call game #3.
