The fairest way to handle this, excluding adding spots, is to give first right of refusal to those that played in the last tournament. We sat by the phones for hours to earn our spots. If some people do not signup who attended the last tournament then open up the registration. However, the casino has the final word and as with everything else, the prices are higher this time. As for the additional free night, I personally have free nights in many hotels in Las Vegas and suspect that most of the tournament players do also. That is not a very good incentive. A bigger tournament would be a better incentive...Peter
