I wasn't at Hutch so I can't say what if anything went on there but split tournaments cannot solve all issues. You first need a tournament director that knows how many entries his facilities/equipment/help can effectively handle. Then that tournament director has to have the integrity not to get greedy and exceed the number of entries that works!
