MECHANICS

LEVELS:

  • Levels will be 30 minutes for the duration of the tournament.
  • Day 1 will play 18 levels or until 9 players remain (whichever occurs first).
  • Day 2 will play down until a winner is determined.

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 one table away from ITM.
  • Each player has 15 seconds to act on their first decision and 30 seconds on any subsequent decision.
  • Players receive 4 time-extension chips worth 30 seconds each.
  • At 9 players remaining, each player receives 4 more time-extension chips.

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, where possible, will commence 9-handed and move to 8-handed after ITM.
  • Seating re-draws will be conducted prior to the start of Day 2, unless the tournament is already at 16 players or fewer. In that case, re-draws will take place at 16 and 9 players remaining.

STAFF FEE:

  • Four percent (4%) of the prize pool will be withheld to offset tournament staffing costs.

RULES:
