Tournament Rules
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 games.
- There are no break periods in single table tournaments.
- You may leave the table any time prior to the start of the tournament without penalty.
- Seating is at your choice. You may choose any open seat at a single table tournament. This will be your seat for the duration of the tournament.
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. Registration stops a few moments before the start of the tournament.
- You will receive audio and visual reminders prior to the start and 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 remaining players in the tournament reduces. You will be advised when the table at which you are seated is being closed. The break order is from highest numbered table for the tournament in descending order.
- 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 take longer to complete than Single Table Tournaments, every hour there is a short 5 minute break.
- 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:
- Only first place in the STT Satellite qualifiers gets a prize, being a seat in the MTT final.
- If you play and win more than one STT Satellite qualifier, you win the cash value of the seat if you already have a seat in the Final.
- You may register directly in the MTT Final, paying the full seat price.
- If you have a seat in the MTT Final that you won, you may not unregister to take the cash value. If you directly purchased the seat in the Final, you may unregister and receive a refund for the buy-in and fee prior to the start of the MTT Final.
- STT Satellite qualifiers will not begin within 2 hours of the Final. Anyone seated at an STT Satellite qualifier that has not started before the 2-hour cutoff will receive a refund and the STT will be cancelled. In the unlikely event a Satellite Single Table qualifier has not completed by the start of the Grand Final MTT, the winner of the Satellite STT will be awarded the cash value of the seat. This may take up to 48 hours to process.
- You may purchase a seat in the MTT Final up until moments before the start of the MTT Final.

NOTE:
The poker room reserves the right to make manual adjustments to any payments in order to ensure that all players have received a fair settlement.
Tournament Disconnections
If for any reason a Player loses his/her connection, play will continue. Blinds and antes will continue to be posted automatically. A Player should log back on as soon as possible to continue play. Players will be blinded/anted out of the tournament if they do not reconnect.
Players MUST accept the risk of disconnection. This can and does occur. (Log back on and continue play as quickly as possible.) At no time will we assume responsibility for disconnected players regardless of cause. If a Player is disconnected during the play of a hand, they will be given a period of time in which to re-connect - about 30 seconds. If the player is not able to do so, their hand is folded unless they are "all in". If you choose to sit out, you are deemed 'away from the table' and will still receive cards that will be folded in turn. Blinds will also continue to be taken when appropriate. If you time-out or disconnect, you will be automatically marked 'away from the table' until you uncheck the appropriate box and re-join the game.
