I was just looking at the structure of these tournaments, and the allin flip ends when the min amount of players is reached , then they convert to reg tournaments. so make sure your around to play.

I am not playing the missions right now but i have played them before and there was no such kind of reg. tournament. Do you know when they made the change and what means min amount of players is that mean when you reach ITM.

Not true. They are all-in shootouts, so you don't have to be present.
Only the 6 winners (one from each of the 6 shootout tournaments) will play against each other on may 10th:
Is says: In the All-in Shootouts, you don’t even need to be present to be in with a chance of winning, as all players who have registered in advance will be all-in every hand until there’s a winner. That means you could advance to the Millionaire Final in minutes! You may make it to the Final by chance, but in the Millionaire Final itself, you’ll need to play to win the grand prize.
The tournament info form the structure tab is confusing however, suggesting that "normal play" will resume when 16384 players remain. Up till then it's "zoom play", but I believe you'll still be all-in every hand until the end.

Hello Joe,
Thank you for your interest in our Millionaire Month.
As soon as you successfully complete a Millionaire Month Challenge, you will be automatically registered for the corresponding All-in Shootout tournament.
The Millionaire Month All-in Shootout tournaments take place on 18th April for Qualification Round 1 and on 1st May for Qualification Round 2. Each tourney has a guaranteed prize pool of $150,000. There is no play required - all players who were registered in the All-in Shootout tournaments will be all-in every hand until we have a winner.
To explain further, all of these events will begin at the designated start times and will have hands dealt, however, every player will be automatically placed all-in on every hand, making it so that the prizes are awarded by chance rather than based on poker skill. For this reason the action will be very fast and these events will only take about 10 minutes or less from start to finish.
Once you are registered to the even, there is no further action needed. Even if you are not logged into your account at the tournament start times you will still be included in the prize drawing(s). Observers are welcome to watch the action, plus players who are registered in these tournaments can watch themselves, however everyone will be in purely a spectator position, since there is no way a player can control what happens at the tables.
To locate these events, from the PokerStars Lobby screen, please look under the 'Tournaments' tab and set your filters to 'All'.
Then type "All-in Shootout" in the search tool in the PokerStars lobby screen to quickly locate the events.
Thank you for choosing PokerStars, and good luck at the tables!

Fingers crossed everybody and hope some of us make some money out of the challenges. It would also be great to hear if anyone gets into the play offs in May, where the real money will be awaiting. Don't forget that a new set of challenges starts imminently with another round of all ins at the start of May. Good Luck.
