So if someone with a 48% chance winning is considered an "upset", then yes, ther were a lot of upsets. Blame the structure---I have heard some describe it as "good" or "reasonable", but I don't think it even comes close to these terms. A good structure for this event might be 50% more starting chips, double the length of each level, and start by playing best 4 of 7 in round one (followed by 5 of 9, 6 of 11, etc.).

Please remember it's an annual event, so the tournament can't run longer than one year.

Good point. What I proposed would take about two weeks. I was just pointing out what would be needed to differentiate playing abilities among experienced players with somewhat similar skill levels.
