The Day 2b field only has four two-hour levels of play on their agenda so that when the field is combined on Friday, expect a field of at least 2,000 starting for Day 3." BJ SAYS -- What logistical problems would be caused by "too many eliminations" on Day 2a? The only potential problem with a split field is the possibility of reaching the money before the field combines, but since only 648 players get paid, that is definitely not going to happen this year. That was a potential problem in a few of the previous years because the fields were playing more than nine levels before combining the fields.
