Where it sits on the schedule
The Cup starts at 1pm on the Saturday, an hour after the Main Event's Day 2, and finishes on the Sunday. That is deliberate: it gives anyone who fell short of the Main Event money a substantial tournament to move into rather than going home.
Structure
50,000 starting chips on a 30-minute clock, sixteen levels on Day 1, with registration open to the start of Day 2. Day 2 moves to a 40-minute clock and plays to a finish.
