Format for Carnival Texas Hold-Em Grand Final

I am trying to get a feel for the format of this tournament on the Carnival Dream on the October 19th cruise out of New Orleans.

I believe there to be between 300 and 400 entries. I know they cannot play everyone at once because there would not be enough tables. So maybe they play 80 or 90 or 100 players at once? (a preliminary?)

How do these prelims work?? Do they marry the tables together as people are eliminated? Or do you have to win your table or be one of the last two in your table?

I have contacted Carnival and the only answer was that they were still making decisions on the format.

Anyone play in this last year?

I have gotten the answer.........thank you

Could you please share the answer? My DH is also playing on this tournament. Thank you.
