NickV, why can you not tell players who want to reg in cash tomrrow to go to the Palm Beach first? As they are registering so late, why should they take precedent in the main venue over people who have been registered for weeks or months?
Players are travelling from around the country to enjoy the atmosphere of the Main Event and have planned as such. _________________ 'Impatience for victory only guarantees defeat' - Louis XIV

Really;
Sending a 60 player team to Palm is a feeder situation. On table moves are you gonna do a comp or venue draw? Without a comp draw you are exuding players from the main comp, so is the palm a feeder?
If a guy from palm is table moved from there to fox he losing table time and vice versa.
When fox is played down to a level to take whats left at Palm is the mTT paused?

Hi Bogus and Sean, thanks for your feedback.
We knew having the tables in two venues would be something that would raise concerns amongst everyone but we are comfortable that it is the best thing to do and have the interests of you our players as our highest priority.
I'm not directly speaking for the Series staff here as they are dead busy running a 304 (so far) player tournament (over 150 reg'd for tomorrow btw). Although I don't have time to respond to every query I am happy to fill in the blanks.
To send just new players to the Beach would clearly not be a randomisation of entries. Players who arrive together would end up on the same tables. With existing tables to absorb new players late entries can be spread amongst the wider tournament. We will be sending new players to the Beach to fill empty spots and player will be able to re-enter if eliminated at the Beach.
The tables at the Palm Beach do not constitute a separate tournament or a team at all. We will avoid player movement between the venues as much as possible but may send players between. If we absolutely must move an active player it will be done in breaks (ie. dinner) to minimise impact on their play and we will be covering transport.
