WSOP - weird arrangement

[StarRain]

I just looked at their schedule and found this spot.
If I advance on day 1 of Event 1 Mixed hold'em, which they resume the play on the 2nd of June at 2PM. However, the event 3 starts on the 2nd of June at noon. How can someone who registers both make it if he survives at day 1 from Event 1? Has this issue been discussed?

Ummmm . . . . DON'T register for Event 3 until you go busto on Event 1 maybe?

Ignore the above response.

If you preregister for an event and you are still playing in a previous event your buyin will be automatically refunded.

Waiting until you bust from one tourney to register for the next would be a pretty big waste of time

Is the best approach to pre-register? I am going down for a couple event in June. Should I pre-register or simply bring cash with me? Any advice.

"Automatically"?

I'm pretty sure that's not the case, is it?

No, ignore this response. There is nothing automatic about it. You need to get in line with the cashier and once they have some evidence you are still in event #1, they will allow you to unregister from #3 and refund your money. I'm lucky in that the cashiers know me and they will take my word. In other cases, you might need a note from or the physical presence of a floorman who will vouch for you. If you show up at 1:30pm to do this just prior to the start of your day 2 of event #1, you will be informed that it is too late to unregister from #3, and that your chips are already in play. Exactly this happened to several people last year who thought the unregistration was automatic.

I never register for any event until the afternoon or evening before, other than the Main Event and event #1. I never know when I will want to take a break because I'm tired or whatever, and the only way you can unregister is if you are still in a previous event. Just changing your mind is NOT enough, and they will not allow you to unregister for such a reason. So, signing up for everything far in advance will save you some time, but could cost you a lot of money if you change your mind and don't want to play.

Thank you a ton for that response Greg.

I'm confused now! Wasn't there a message from Harrah's about possible seat scams?

They said there "...individuals who have pre-registered for WSOP events can receive a full refund of their payment if they are unable to participate, as long as they request the refund before the event starts."

Is there a definition for "unable" somewere else? Otherwise I would assume everything that keeps you from playing (feeling ill etc.) would fill that definition.

Thanks

Maybe I'm wrong with respect to this year. I know there were people last year and before who tried to withdraw for personal reasons, and were denied.
