Seems to heavily hint at T32+7 Rounds no matter what attendance ends up being, which makes me wonder if they will bring over the required number of Grinder participants, no matter what they need.

Did anyone else notice that the format listed is last year's, not this year's?

There's nothing to stop them going to a top 32 with less than 128 players.

They did it in Hawaii 2010 with 115 Masters, so they won't need to take more than they want from the grinder

Ok, only thing I was wondering about was TOM limitations, but if they did it before, I buy that they would do it again!

They went to Top 16 last worlds. I hope they don't do it again D:

I kinda understand why they do that, but there has to be ways to get ppl off the floor...

Schedule says it closes at 6PM on Friday and Saturday. 5PM on Sunday.

Well, the Worlds site seems to suggest it will be 24 hour Open Gaming.

On the Worlds website, it says Movie Theater and Gaming Room. I think this is the room where they have movies playing and a few Wii's set up that you can play on. The Worlds website says there is a 24 hour open gaming room from Friday through Sunday, which I think is a different room.

Ah, that does make sense.
