Please note the recently implemented late rego system has been removed.

Tournament participants will be registered up to the first blind level unless a table has been broken.

Thank you!

There was a late rego system? My understanding was that the above WAS the late rego system (although didn't know about the "unless a table has been broken" part)? Thanks for the info!

The above system is what I thought was in place from the beginning, but I might have seen people registered into the 2nd blind level.

So I believe, and this is not 100%, that people have been registered up until the first break. And this is removing that.

That makes sense Bacon.

I think there is also a rule that if you register, then you must be seated before the 1st blind level ends. One time I registered for a tourney and was still eating dinner when the tourney started. I stayed and finished my dinner but was told I had to be seated by the end of the 1st blind level or I would be DQ'ed

But will they come in with the full $1k or will they have blinds deducted and come in with approx $900.

Regarding Mr Niceguys comment
Players who are eating and supporting the venue should be allowed to post blinds until finished eating as long as they are registered before the first blind level finishes.

What annoys me is when late registers come to the table with the full amount without penalties.
I have seen late players sit at a table after a blinded stack has been removed with the full amount

blinds should get deducted, and penalties should be applied, such as both drink cards should b at 1k each not 1k and the 2nd 2k.
coz iv won a game cuming into the tourney 1 min b4 the break and i thought to my self thats not fair.
but i was coming from a final table at a venue b4 ok.

I don't berudge the 2K for 2nd card, cos they have spent the same money.

I dunno how they can remove the blinds after a certain amount. Cos if they had been playing, they might've had a walk, or raised in BB and SB folds. You can't say what would've happened in the hand. And it's only 75 we are talking here. That's a chip up!
