How Does this work?
If you register day 1a and you bust at the end of the day. Can you rebuy into day 1b of day 1c or do you just have to pick 1 day 1 and that's it?
As other have said, it depends on the tourney, so you definitely want to check out the structure sheet and info for the particular event you're interested in.
In general, those tourneys that allow re-entry will always allow you to re-enter on a subsequent day 1. Some tourneys (perhaps most), and particularly those which have liberal re-entry rules, will allow you to re-enter the same day. In those cases, you will either be able to re-enter same day as many times as you like, or perhaps only once, depending on the rules.
Some events allow you to forfeit your stack without busting, in case you wanted to re-enter a future starting day and found yourself short stacked near the end of day 1. This is usually how it works.
Other events allow you to re-enter regardless of whether you made day two previously. These are known as Best-Stack-Forward (BSF) events. Essentially these eliminate the issue I described here, however BSF raises other issues which some players don't like.
