Raymond from PGI called me on this. Apparently they plan to have 16 qualifiers split over the two days (Bangsar and 1Utama). I thot they wanted 16 for each day, with those not qualifying spilling over onto the 1U event.
Anyway if this is their format, that's it. So it'll be 8 qualifiers tomorrow and another 8 for next week. Format is straight-knock-out ie. from the 1st eight, top 2 finishers from each table will proceed to the final round where the top 2 finishers are the Qualifiers.
But Raymond is flexible enuff to say if they can get more ppl tomorrow, they can open more tables.
If you intend to join any of the last 3 qualifiers, PLS PLS either RSVP at the KL Boardgames Meetup or give the respective PIC (for Starbucks, it's Raymond) to pre-reg. Dun just walk in at 2pm and hope to get a seat.
But we'll try to make the final round at PGI open to as many pax as we can (of course this is subjected to the organizer i.e Panglobal itself agreeing to this. They call the shots since this is at their place, ok?)
