House rules

Multi-Table Tournaments

These rules apply to multi-table tournaments:

● Multi-table tournaments are scheduled events with specified start times. You must register for the tournament prior to the start, unless the tournament is set with "Late reg". This allows players to register before a certain blind level.

● The table will open automatically prior to the start, and you will be automatically seated at a table just before the start. Seating is random.

● The software keeps tables balanced with regard to the number of players seated at each table. As players go broke this can cause an imbalance in the distribution of players, in which case you may be moved to and reseated at another table. This is done randomly; therefore, you may experience reseating several times during a tournament.

● The software closes tables as the number of remaining players in the tournament reduces. You will be advised when the table at which you are seated is being closed.

● You may open and watch other tournament tables while you play.

● The tournament lobby will show the number of players in the tournament, their current chip count, and the prize structure.

● As Multi-table Tournaments often take longer to complete than Single Table Tournaments, 5 minute breaks will occur every 55 minutes past the hour.

● Hand-for-hand dealing may be enacted during any tournament as is usual when there is only one player left to be eliminated before prizes are awarded. This renders the practice of slow-playing useless. During hand for hand play, all tables will be considered to be on the same hand until they all complete their hand in progress. Therefore, players eliminated at different tables may be considered to have been eliminated on the same hand.

Satellite Tournaments

The following rules apply to Satellite Tournaments only:

Single Table Tournaments

These rules apply to the single table tournaments:

● As soon as the table is full, the game begins. These are also commonly referred to as Sit and Go tournaments.

● You may leave the table any time prior to the start of the tournament without losing your initial buy-in.

● Seating is randomised once all required players have registered.
