will I be safe if I just show up Saturday noon - 1pm?

65 today once everyone settled in. 100 a safe estimate for tomorrow. As far as Saturday goes, you may want to consider pre-registering as if any day is going to hard cap at the 132 it would be Saturday. Not trying for the hard sell here, but I know everyone from out of town (and there are some coming from Winnipeg and Edmonton) plan to do Friday/Saturday. I didn't really expect the weekdays to be as busy, hotel & days off start to add up and 5 bills isn't in every recreational players range to begin with. There is a bunch of local who will play every day if need. We should still bust 300 entries for the prize pool and the 70 took 11 hrs to complete yesterday. With the 10k plus package added, still gonna be a huge payday for some.
