Default How much of a MTT can I miss and still be +EV?

Say I'm not going to be around until ~ 5-6pm so I'm going to miss the first few levels of the Sunday Mil.

How much time would I have to miss before registering for the tournament becomes -EV (due to being blinded out)?

you'll only have lost like 1/10th your stack or so (just guessing here, but not more than 20%), and even an hour in, 75% of the players in the tourney will still be godawful and making huge mistakes. so while your expectation wont be as high as if youd got there on time, youll still be +ev.

75% of the field will still be god awful even at 200 left.
35% of the field will be god awful at the Final Table.

Seriously, stick around and watch the deal-making, then you can see who the people without brains are.
