Question for Nick B. regarding Ultimate Poker Challenge

What's been the average field size of those preliminary tournaments at the Ultimate Poker Challenge?

Every week, we see some of the same guys/gals.

They averaged 34 players a tournament. The reason that you see the same people over again is because of the bonus for being the top 10 in points. It was 100k pool, and the semis were only 214k. I played in 18 events with 1 that I was up to 9k, from the starting 3k, and had to go play a final table and blinded out in 9th place. I missed one weekend that only averaged like 28 people, and that killed me in points. I finished tied for 4th.
