If someone drops out, the waitlist automatically shifts people up. If someone does not show up on the day of the tournament, we will allow someone else to fill that slot. You would have to show up for the morning check-in and you would be banking on a no-show. It's risky, but it happens all the time.

Hey Kyle, we did our best to make sure we gave everyone a chance to play. The mens 64 spots filled in less than 15 minutes. We had a long list of men on the waiting list, and a handful of open spots in the women's division. We gave it a few weeks before making the decision to open those spots up for the players who were waiting. We were disappointed to see the women join the waiting list at that point, because we really wanted to maximize the women's division. The top priority is always going to be to run a good tournament for all, which means making decisions early and creating manageable logistics. If we wait too long to move divisions around, we create last minute situations that cause a lot of stress and potential issues with the days schedule.

We looked at all the options for expanding the field to accommodate these women on the waitlist and we're simply stuck. Next year, we'll work to accommodate a bigger field overall and especially hope to see the women's division grow.

No worries, Alex. I appreciate your response and knowing that you and your team have worked really hard to accommodate everyone interested in playing. Thank you kindly for your elaboration. We are both looking forward to signing up for next year's tourney!!

We've really explored all the options and we really wish we could. It's a big point of pride that we are inclusive to all. Mens spots filled pretty much immediately and we waited a few weeks for the women's spots to fill before we decided to start letting players off the waitlist claim those spots. I assure you that it's important to us that we create opportunities for everyone to participate, but we have to prioritize logistics and bandwidth when delivering a good tournament experience to those who signed up.

We really, really wanted to have 3 cards. We waited as long as we reasonably could before reducing the field from 12 spots to 8. Kills me to see women on the waiting list now, but I don't think we have any options for adding spots at this time. We'll make an announcement if anything changes. Thanks
