MECHANICS

GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW:

  • Each team is made up of 2 players and must register together.
  • During the first 8 levels, teams play as individuals at separate tables.
  • At the start of Level 9, the chips of both teammates are combined into 1 stack.
  • Players may tag a teammate anytime he/she is not in an active hand.
  • If one teammate is eliminated before Level 9 and does not re-enter, the remaining teammate will continue to play with the single remaining chip stack.
  • Players must wear their team wristbands at all times during play.
  • Players may only participate on one team and are not permitted to switch teams at any time.

LEVELS:

  • Levels will be 20 minutes for the duration of the tournament until a winner is declared.

RE-ENTRY:

  • Unlimited re-entry is allowed before the close of registration.
  • Each re-entry is NT$8,000 (7,200 + 800) per player.

PAYOUTS:

  • Approximately one in seven entries (15%) will be in the money.
  • Payouts will be calculated based on number of teams and be distributed evenly amongst teammates.

SHOT CLOCKS & TIME BANKS:

  • Shot Clocks will be implemented throughout the tournament.
  • 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 the time of taking their seat, and another 4 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.

STAFF FEE:

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

RULES:

  • Tournament Director Association (TDA) rules will be used.
