Structure
Level 1: 100/100
Entries: 154
Registration is about to close in Event 5, but we’ll probably be tied up with the Money Bubble for Event 1 Flight C and won’t be able to report on it right away.
With 154 entries shortly before the registration deadline, the total prizepool should be worth a little more than $80,000.
