TurningStone daily 12pm tourneys.. any advice?

[Sdrive]

heading up to turningstone for the first time tomorrow to play in the daily 12pm tourney. Anyone have any advice or comments about the tourney? about how many entrants usually during the weekday?

good chance there will be good players from them staying after the empire tourney? or do only the tourists (like myself) play in the daily's. also, how much is the top three places on a rough average? any insight would help.
