WSOP Day 1 Seat Assignment & Count
 

I just got done registering for the ME. They assigned me Table 92. When I went looking for table 92, I found it. In the tent!!!! I am not happy about that at all. So I went and found a supervisor. He said they are not using the tent and I will be reassigned at the beginning of the day tomorrow. Well see. On a side note, I asked the registration lady how many had signed up. She said 4,000. Should be interesting to see where we end up.

I heard the main reason they weren't using the tent was that someone had crashed a car into it and knocked out the air-conditioning. Can anyone confirm?

When I signed up today at 3:30 pm, after waiting an hour in line, I had the option of Friday, Saturday or Monday. Sunday was sold out. The man said only 250 had registered on Monday, but that Friday and Saturday were filling up.

I asked if they were assigning people to the tent. He said yes, on a random basis. I chose Friday, and got table 102, which is in the tent.

I hope OP is correct about his supervisor report.

Further, the man I registered with said they were using Seat 10 on the cards that printed out. So, I don't know about the 9-handed rumor.

When I left the Rio, there was maybe 350 people standing in line.

Do they have a separate line for people who pre-registered and just need to pick up seat assignments, or does everybody have to get in one big line?

Reading this I'm glad I checked in yesterday. No line at all and it was all taken care of in 10 mins. (incl. getting an ITIN number).

Got a seat inside the building.
