Registration for the HORSE event is closed, and the official-looking board shows 148 players, which was the exact number of registrants last year.

One notable player absent from the field: Allen Cunningham. No word on why he did not play. Allen Cunningham is here. I must have missed him in my first 5 walk-throughs. He is rather skinny.

Interesting tidbit: Players receive a break between each level and a dinner break after two levels. I suppose paying $50K to play in a tournament deserves some cushy treatment.
