I played in a 1500 buy in event about 2/3 way through the series. Over 3000 entries with several hundred of those alternates who signed up the day of the event. I agree with the other poster here, if you are only playing one or two events, I would sign up ahead of time. We had 11 at a table with a little over 200 tables to play on so with the announcement that only 10 maximum at a table this year, tournaments could sell out quickly. One report did have them adding another 100 tables this year so that would solve some of the alternates problems.
