Lol amateur event on 7 foot tables in this area? There's plenty of top level B+-A+ players alone that would fill up a 64 player bracket easily in this side of the country if played on 9 footers.

Vegas is pricing themselves out of biz.
I might be wrong about Diamond's intent, but I'd guess that they are trying to introduce Diamond 7-foot tables to players who haven't seen them before. Sales promotion. And I suspect that Diamond is hoping for 400 players and not 64.
Too bad the folks that have been introduced to them, and would consider buying one, have a multi month wait to get one.....
The Player Agreement is pretty interesting.
The previous winners get free entry but are required to put up the entry fee as a sign of commitment. There's lots of stuff about logos.
