Just in case anyone is curious, I've put together some stats on PokerStars tournaments in 2005. This won't included the last week or so of play, as it is cut off at 12/23 (the last time I updated my stats). Rebuys and freezeouts are treated the same, although the prizepool figures are obviously affected.
