Hi Danny, Nice commentary on the Magnus today… pretty funny
Question: Will there be a 1200-1399 section tomorrow? Or will you put the 1000-1199 together with it? Sometimes you have players lower than 1000 in that section, which is pretty low (a big risk) for the 1200 and higher players…just wondering. Thanks!

Don’t know about merging sections yet, though I doubt it.
