Makes it sound like you just walk in anytime and sit down for a qualifying round but that can't be right

Sounds to me like a 'sit and go' type style with a minimum of ten players to get the cards to start being dealt.
I'm imagining a 'poker club' (obviously not this one) taking advantage of this. Where the ten participants arrange a time to be there and just go all-in blind on the first hand. Attempting to sidestep the burgeoning masses hoping for poker riches. By changing the odds from one in however many wannabe poker prose and would-be CNE shills. End-up playing the 'shit n GO' tournament. To one in ten. From a group people whose only social connexion is a poker bulletin board. And maybe they've been present in the same poker room at one point in time or another. Perhaps even only digital one.
