Rules:          The dealer button will be a “dead button”. Google “dead button poker” for more information.

 

                  Blinds increase every 20 minutes until the eight, which will increase every 15 minutes. See tournament host for details regarding blind amounts.

 

                  Players will be evenly split between tables to start. Table assignments will be random. Table assignments will be adjusted when the difference between the number of players at each table is greater than one. Tables will be combined when a maximum of 9 players can be assigned to each remaining table.

 

                  On a chopped pot, odd amounts that cannot be split evenly with the chip denomination in play remain in play for the next hand.

 

                  This is a table stakes game. That is, the maximum amount you can bet on any one hand is the amount you started play with for that hand. No re-buy in the middle of a hand.

 

                  A re-buy will not be allowed once the tournament has been narrowed down to eight players.

 

                  The dealer will cut the deck.

 

                  The dealer is in charge of the hand. The dealer will make sure proper blinds are posted, any side pots are managed correctly, determine the winners of the main pot and any side pots, and push the chips to the respective winners.

 

                  Any conflicts that the dealer cannot resolve will be directed to the tournament host, whose decisions will be final.

 

                  At the showdown, the player that bets must show both hole cards, or his hand is considered mucked. Those who called have to show their hands or muck them in order. It starts with the person who bet and then in clockwise rotation. Any hole cards that are purposefully directed face down towards the dealer are considered mucked and are no longer in play. 

 

                  A one-card exposure on the deal will be allowed, with the exposed card shown to all players, and the card placed as the initial burn card.  The deal will proceed as normal.  Two cards exposed on the deal is a misdeal and the hand starts over. Exposed burn cards do not constitute a misdeal. Cards dealt in the wrong sequence are a misdeal if the sequence error cannot be fixed, and the hand starts over.

 

                  Players must verbally announce their betting in a single intent – i.e. fold call, raise, all in.  Two action intentions (e.g. I call your $50 and raise $100) are not allowed.  In this example, the player would have to call the current bet of $50, with no raise.

 

                  The cards speak for themselves.  No discussions or assistance may be given by other players or spectators.
