Legends ME structure?

[Tapin]

Perhaps my google-fu is weak, but I've been trying to find the structure for the Legends ME (the WPT event at the end of this month) and have so far been unsuccessful.

Does anyone here happen to know what it is? I understand the WPT sometimes does something strange with the blinds before the final table, but I'm mostly just interested in the first few days of play.

Thanks!

This is what they had last year:

Each player starts with 10000 chips.

90-minute levels

Additional levels are to be announced if necessary.

Day 1 will play 6 levels
Day 2 will play down to the money tables
(anticipated to be 63 players)
Day 3 will play down to 6 players

Anticipated tournament structure for Day 4
(WPT TV taping)

60-minute levels until 2 players remain, when
new levels will only be 30 minutes if at least
3 levels have been played.

Level Ante Blinds
B6 3000 12000-24000
B7 5000 20000-40000
B8 10000 30000-60000
B9 10000 50000-100000
B10 15000 80000-160000
B11 30000 120000-240000
B12 50000 200000-400000

From WPTInsider.

The final table levels that you mentioned are strange because they advance faster than the levels in the rest of the tournament do, and are adjusted so the average stack starts the final table with X big blinds (apparently about 45 big blinds last year).

Thanks for the response. I read somewhere that they were going to have "day 1a" on Saturday this year, I suppose that explains the difference between last year's four-day schedule and this year's five-day schedule.

is definitely a split day1?? those are very annoying.
