Hypothetical situation:

3 day ones with 30 tables playing 9 handed (but able to go 10 if needed).

Play on Day 1a will determine how long to play on Days 1b and 1c as everyone left must combine for Day 2 with 30 tables playing 9 handed AT THE SAME LEVEL.

So.... 7 levels of play on Day 1a means the same for Day 1b and 1c. There must be only 100 people left (MAX) on each day one to seat everyone on Day 2.

If we played with only 150 people on Day 1a, we could be under 100 players in 4 levels. If Day 1b morning 250 people show up to register to play that day we could only play 4 levels and may well have 200 people left (that makes 300 already without playing Day 1c!! Uh oh). Now, Sunday morning another 200 people show up to register and play that day, we only play 4 levels again and there is 150 people left. Now for Day 2 (with 30 tables) there are 450 people to play. What can you do? Make two Day 2s? Maybe... but it would reguire playing loooooong day 3, day 4, day 5 as the Final Table day CANNOT be changed to a different day.

Summation:
There HAS to be a cutoff-point in registration to avoid unneccessary problems. With 3 day ones, there must be a balance (somewhat) with Day 1a having more than either other day 1 to be sure we attain correct numbers to combine on day two.

Does any of that make sense???
