RULES - MULTI TABLE TOURNAMENTS
Tournaments differ from cash games in several ways. While the general playing of the game remains the same there are certain rules that apply to tournaments only.
 |
You can join by clicking the "Tournament" tab in the lobby and choosing a tournament that is still open for registration. When your chosen tournament starts your table will open automatically. All seats are assigned randomly. Please bear in mind that if you're already playing in the maximum number of tables allowed you'll be presented with a dialog box asking you whether you'd like to quit one of the tables so the tournament table launches. You will be marked 'away from the table' until you join the tournament table. |
 |
Blinds increase at regular intervals as the tournament progresses and are termed 'levels'. Unlike cash games, blinds must be posted and cannot be missed. This is done automatically. To make it fair for everyone a dead button is sometimes used to achieve this. |
 |
The software will keep tables balanced in terms of the number of players seated at each; consequently, as players are eliminated, you may be re-seated at a different table. As this is done randomly you may experience it several times during a tournament. As the number of players remaining reduces, the software will close tables in order of the highest available until the final table is reached. |
 |
Once a player loses all their chips they are automatically removed from the table unless a 'Buy In' facility is available. Buy In' Tournaments provide the facility to purchase a new set of chips for a limited time if you go broke. |
