That is remarkably early for a tournament day to finish.. I would lobby for the 2 day event, and I could even see if my house could be used for epic hangouts (Pool, Jacuzzi, view, barbeque) given enough time heads up. That would give people something to do after day 1 finishes.
qwerty, sounds great, you're a big man to take a MM for a game you don't even play.
