Default WSOP Event #2 Dealers Event Scheduling

Just noticed this... dealers event starts at 5pm June 1st, is scheduled to be a 2 day event. Event #1 is the 5k MHE. Event #3 is the $1500 NLHE, usual "first" event - it drew a little over 2500 last year.

Last year the dealers event started at noon of its own day and we did not finish play until 4am with two tables left that returned the following day at 4pm and played eight hours until I busted second.

C'mon Harrah's... 16 hour days were not acceptable last year, and this is how the schedule adjusts?

Rule 90 says they intend to end at 2am the tourneys that start at noon. They have codified that they're planning 14 hour days for most events.

Looks like last year's dealer event took 24 hours. Rule 91 says the tourneys that start at 5pm will go until 3am. So they'll do a 10 hour Day 1 and then have to run from 3pm until about 5am on Day 2 to finish it.

So what, exactly, is the complaint?

Do you have to be a dealer to enter? It's described as "Casino Employees". Does that mean I can get a job as a busboy or janitor and enter the tournament?

That is correct you just need to be a casino employee not neessarily a dealer.

To expand it further, do I have to be a Vegas casino employee, or employee of a casino anywhere?
