Odd poker tournament set up - all short stacked

[Benoit]

Yeah I was thinking that too, I already played a couple times and I see people are desperate to build their stacks and call all-ins frequently. Guy made the right call with pocket 10s in late position to my KJo $300 all-in bet UTG+1, but I spiked the jack on the flop.

But then on the total opposite side, I see people just limping and only sometimes doing mini-raises. Does that mean they are playing like it's a weak limit game and haven't adjusted? Or maybe it means they are playing the way they found to work best... I've noticed the same 8 people play this way and make it to the last 5 consistently... Interesting.
