On the wildcard.. How are people who have qualified for the final table gonna feel when the 9th player on has already been drawn back, and then they go on to win it? What if the Wildcard position was drawn from the night, and you have to be there to win it your ticket, then each Wildcard player plays off the day before the event to win into the main one... sort of like a Satellite.

Might not have explained it.
The wildcard system works off another table not the final table. The other table is where people have been called in and are playing a sit n go for a seat into the 1000 tournament.
I.E Normal 9 players make it to final table in your regular event. The winner of the tournament will get their seat. as well as the points from the night
The wild card table, is drawn from all the poker passports, and the people drawn into that are playing for the seat into the 1000 tournament.
Hence keeping people around at venue, still rewarding winner of the main event, and giving people an extra opportunity to get into this event.
