I didn't take my seat for start of a tournament- what should happen to my chips?
fandango:
Chips should be in play IMO.. Think it"s standard practise for most tours?

If they have paid then the chips are in play nomatter if they are present or not

This - I think it"s a terrible idea to suggest that somebody could pay for a product (tournament entry), and then be denied it for showing up late.
It"d be like booking a hotel room but them letting somebody else have it just because you haven"t checked in by midnight, for example.

No-one is denying them a seat, they are being penalised for arriving late.
A "re-entry" period is just that...an option to re-enter.
Late entry comps are different animals and chips should not be taken from the start.

That"s a common "rule" at many chain hotels....not that it is necessarily a good thing.
