They are aware of the situation. I mailed about this so much and other problems in poker during Christmas Series. Hope they will solve it. Im not sure. But if they do there will be new problems. For example payout structure.
There is an error in how the ITM/payout structure is calculated in this two-day/phased event.
Since only ~18% of the field advances to Day 2, and the payout structure is then calculated only from the Day 2 player count, the result is effectively 18% of 18% of the original field being ITM.
This drastically reduces the number of paid places compared to normal tournament standards and changes the tournament conditions after registration has already taken place.
ITM/payout calculations must be based on the total number of unique entries, not only the players who advance to Day 2.
