You don’t join a main bracket until you select an end time. The amount of people in your bracket should be in a red band above the black band that states how much time is left in the event. It is easiest to just check the last post in the thread, to see what the latest info someone has provided. If the time zone settings in your user profile are correct, you should be able view the time the person posted, to see how current their info is. There is a possibility of multiple brackets filling side by side, so join a “fresh” bracket at your own risk.
Useful info to provide
1)Time slice you are in
2)Current amount of people in bracket
3)Leader in bracket with amount of points
4)Time you joined the event, if it was not right before posting in the thread.
Time slice - _______
Current bracket - _______ people
Leader - _______ (name) / _______ points
Slice 2 has 808 players, bracket leader GIJoe has approximately 13000 Points. Not a good slice to join if you are after placement rewards. I’ll keep an Eye on when it fills.
Slice 3 vet bracket is now at 344, joined about 30 mins ago and one clear got me into top30 (some slight rubberbanding I think, but still a pretty fresh bracket).
