I'm not really getting what you mean here. I've looked back through the last 10 tournaments and its rarely more than 8 or 10 people DQ's in the second round. Which, out of (usually) 64 is very resonoble for people simply leaving, or deciding not to bother.

ok have a look at the 8 ball tourny from last night at 6pm - it was just after that I wrote my post. There are others, I think football1234 was a winner in one where people were dropping left right and centre and I got turfed out of the semi final. I mention it because the player has probably still only that tourny win to his name because he's not very good so if there's a way of seeing how the draw worked out in that particular one then have a look.
