Registration is still open for another half hour or so, but there's not likely to be a huge rush at the cage to sign up in between now and the end of the level. The big board shows 132 players have thus far signed up, and that may well end up being our final number. There are still, however, a few players we recognize loitering around the outskirts of the tournament area.
One of those is Tom Marchese, the leader in one of the Player of the Year races. Marchese has a lead of 1,162 points lead over his nearest challenger, Dwyte Pilgrim, and he tells us he's probably going to skip this event in favor of a day of football watching.
Pilgrim is in the field trying to make up some ground, but we fear his efforts in that regard may be in vain. If the field size stays as it is, first place for this event will only be worth 720 points, and even a victory would not be enough to make up that gap. In fact, Pilgrim would need the field size to climb to 200 players to make this event point-heavy enough to do him any good. The only other event left in 2010 that counts for points is the $350 side event here on Tuesday.
Sorel Mizzi, Vanessa Selbst, and John Racener are third, fourth, and fifth respectively, and they too are in the field trying to make up some ground in the penultimate points event of the year.
