NOT ENOUGH PLAYERS IN MY SECTION?
We keep hearing from players who count the number of advance entries
in a section or schedule and worry that there are not enough and the
section or schedule will be canceled. There is usually no need to be
concerned, as the final entry total is often much greater than what
is posted a few days before.
For example, for the Hartford Open Sept 25-27, 2015, with a few days
to go before the advance entry deadline, the Open Section had just 2
entries, and we started receiving "what if no one else enters" emails. But
the final total of entries for this section was 25 !
What if a section actually winds up with
just 2 or 3 total entries? This is very rare, but if it happens, players
would be paired against each other two or three times. The section is never
canceled, unless all players agree to an alternate arrangement.
