Can anyone give play-by-play on G2 and/or G3 of Sullivan vs. Bobby in the semis?

Was the number of participants 460, 482, or something else?  I'm writing a report for BMG and on site, the number I heard all day was 482 but some of the coverage articles say 460.  Thanks!

looks like the magic number is 484.

it also says, "NOTE: FINAL STANDINGS REFLECT THE NUMBER OF PLAYERS PARTICIPATING IN THE EVENT, NOT THE NUMBER OF PREREGISTERED PLAYERS."

there were also people there that just registered for the playmats and didn't play at all. well, a guy did register 60 mountains next to me and put himself in the budget category so I can only assume... so maybe that's where the 460 number came from.

I'm pretty sure that Chas Hinkle was listed in the 484, but he slept in and didn't make it in time for Round 1.

They did not look for no-shows in the player meeting and issued match-loss/dqs to no shows for Round 1 (no repairing)...so I think the 484 does actually equal the number of registered players.  I'm not sure how they differentiated prereg from reg given that you could register on the prereg app up until registration closed the night before.
