for the Smaller events ($300 and $500) events you might want to register early (night before or early morning) because the lines for the early event registration at the Circuit in September was really long (about 2/3 hours of standing in line to get in.) and about 100 + alternates for the first event or 2.

The Summer event at the Gold Strike the lines were shorter and didn't take as long to get into the event.

My advice is if you really want to play it never hurts to register the night before.

The Harrahs events took both Tournament chips or Cash, the Gold Strike makes you buy tournament chips to pay for your entry so at the very least make sure you get your chips for the GS events before standing in the registration line.

Not sure when the registration desks open, I'll find out and post next time I get back from Tunica.
