GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW:

• Each player starts with 3 RIT cards (an additional card is given at the Final Table).
• RIT cards are only used when 2 players go all-in; they can’t be used with 3 or more players.
• The first player going all-in has the option to use their RIT card. If they don’t have one or choose not to use it, the other player can use theirs.
• Half the pot goes to the winner of the first board, and the other half to the winner of the second board.

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.
• Each player has 15 seconds to act on their first decision and 20 seconds on any subsequent decision.
• 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.
