Flights are growing in APT Incheon Main Event: Two flights are in the books, and two more go today in the APT Incheon Main Event, with flight C underway and now the biggest starting flight yet with 230 entries so far, less than four hours into the day.

There will also be a final turbo flight starting at 6 pm local time, with Day 2 starting Wednesday morning, and registration will also be open for a level at the start of Day 2.

Last year's Main Event saw 1,281 entries, and with over 900 so far this year between the three starting flights here at Paradise City and the 282 'onlive' entries, a new record could definitely be set.
