7.
General
Rules Applicable to All
Tournaments:
a.
All
tournaments will begin at the
time designated in the tournament details, which may be found on the
site.
b.
Once the
tournament begins you will
be unable to change your seat. Standing up from a tournament table will
remove
yourself from that tournament.
c.
Players may
un-register from a
tournament up to the time it starts OR until the tournament has reached
capacity.
d.
Blinds will
be defined for each particular
tournament/table. The level and timing of blinds changing is subject to
change.
e.
The button
moves in the
conventional clockwise manner so that no player receives the button
twice in a
row. Occasionally, a player may become the button without having played
in the
blinds due to other players being eliminated (this commonly occurs in
online
tournaments due to technical software issues). This may happen to any
player
during the course of a tournament and therefore creates no long-term
advantage.
f.
If two (2)
players should be eliminated simultaneously, the player with the
largest number
of chips at the beginning of the hand will be designated as having
finished
higher. It is impossible for two (2) people to be eliminated
simultaneously
when going heads up at the final table.
g.
When a
tournament is down to the
last two (2) players, the button will post the small blind and be first
to act
in the initial round. The big blind will then be first to act in the
following
rounds.
h.
The
tournament finishes when one
(1) player has won all the tournament chips and is declared the winner.
i.
Any play
deemed
unethical by Triplejack in its sole discretion (including, without
limitation,
team play, soft play or chip dumping) will result in the applicable
player(s)
being disqualified from the tournament.
j.
As players
are
eliminated over the course of a tournament, tables will be consolidated
to keep
a full complement of players. Players may be forced to post the blinds
when
arriving at a new table. Table reassignments are an inherent part of
tournaments and apply equally to all players.
k.
