MECHANICS
GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW:
- Win The Button is played just like NLH, except that the winner of each hand gets the dealer button in the next round.
- In the case of a split pot, the button moves to the winning player closest to the left of the existing button.
LEVELS:
- Levels will be 15 minutes for the duration of the tournament until a winner is declared.
RE-ENTRY:
- Unlimited re-entry is allowed before the close of registration.
PAYOUTS:
- Approximately one in seven entries (15%) will be in the money.
SHOT CLOCKS & TIME BANKS:
- Shot Clocks will be implemented throughout the tournament.
- The Shot Clock will begin with an initial 20-second count down.
- Players receive 3 time-extension chips worth 20 seconds each at the time of taking their seat, and another 3 more at the start of the Final Table.
PACE OF PLAY:
- Players are required to make decisions within a reasonable timeframe.
- Players who are found to intentionally abuse time, deliberately stall, or purposely slow down the game’s progression will be subjected to a 5-second shot clock for all subsequent decision-making.
- In all tournaments, including shot clock tournaments, we retain the right to limit the time any player has to make a decision.
SEATING & RE-DRAWS:
- Play will move to 9-handed when play permits.
- Seating re-draws will be conducted prior to the start of the Final Table.
