Personally, I would never play in the Last Chance tournament, but I do agree with Dan's sentiment on the ballroom. I avoided sitting in the main ballroom for the very reasons Dan stated. It's crowded, loud and dealing with people going nuts for each race can be somewhat mentally taxing.

Whether you've qualified online or at a live site, nothing is going to prepare you for the NHC. It's unique and much more challenging than any other handicapping tournament.

Well said Nick, I agree completely. Hopefully the lessons learned from my first time in such a challenging tournament can be carried forward.
