They have set starting times and players must register in advance in order to play. The closing time of registration for each tournament will be announced in the Lobby. All seat assignments are randomly drawn prior to the beginning of the tournament.As play progresses and players are knocked out, the remaining players are moved to different tables in order to keep them full. Tables will break down from the highest numbered table to the lowest numbered tables. The transferring of players from one table to another (as a result of tables breaking down) is done in a completely random process. This process continues until only one player remains.Who plays first?Texas Hold'em and Omaha tournaments begin by dealing every player one card. The Player who receives the highest card will be the dealer at his/her table for the first round of the tournament.

It is possible for a player to take two Big Blinds in a row.For example, if one player had just played the Big Blind at a table which then broke down, that player could then be seated at the Big Blind position in the new table.When only two players remain, the player due to play the Big Blind will do so and the Small Blind will inherit the button. The Small Blind or button will act first prior to the flop and second after the flop.Are there any breaks in the tournament play?There are no breaks during Sit & Go Tournaments. In Multi-Table tournaments, there is a 5 minute break every hour.How many chips do I start with?In Single Table tournaments, players start with either $800 in chips for tournaments with buy-ins less than $30 or with $1,000 in chips for tournaments with higher buy-ins. The Levels for these tournaments go up after every ten hands. In Multi-table tournaments, levels are on a time basis and the time may vary depending on the tournament.Can I exchange my prize?The prize payoffs will be according to the Payout Schedule (the "Payoff Structure") and there are no prize exchanges.What happens if two (or more) players go out on the same hand?If two (or more) players are eliminated on the same hand, the player who started the hand with the most chips will be awarded the higher finishing position.What will happen if I attempt to cheat? All Players are required to abide by the House Rules.

The implication of this rule is that when players are eliminated, there may be players who get a reprieve from one or both blinds. The forward moving button is common practice in online poker due to the technicalities involved in adjusting the blinds after players are eliminated. Since these are basically random occurrences, no player will receive any long-term advantage, and the rule is necessarily fair for all players.What happens if a tournament is cancelled?If a Tournament is cancelled due to technical issues, players who were eliminated prior to the cancellation will lose their buy-in and entry fee.
