Multi Table Tournaments

Players are allowed to register for tournaments during a predetermined period prior to the start of the tournament. Registration continues until the registration period ends or the maximum number of players for the tournament is reached. In order to register, players normally pay an entrance fee, however some tournaments may be free to enter (free rolls) or have special conditions that the players need to meet in order to play (e.g. A player may need to have earned 100 tournament points).

Breaking tables

There are never more than the minimum number of tables required to seat all players. As the number of players reduces, the number of tables is also reduced. A table is removed as soon as the remaining players can all be seated around the remaining tables.

Example: When there are 41 players there are five tables, four with 8 players and one with 9. When a player is eliminated and there are 40 players remaining, one table is closed and the players are moved to the remaining four tables which are then full (10 players).

The table that is closed is the one with the least number of players seated. If more than one table has the smallest number of players, the table to be closed is randomly chosen from the two. Players from the closed table are randomly seated in the available seats at the remaining tables.

Hand for Hand Play Mode

In hand for hand play mode, all hands are dealt and finished at the same time at all tables. This occurs whenever there is more than one table, and there is a significant change in prize money between two places. For example, in a 350 player tournament, the tournament changes to hand to hand play when there are 41 players, 31 players, 21 players and 11 players remaining. It stays hand for hand until one player has been knocked out in each situation.

Heads Up Tournaments

Heads-up tournaments are a new type of multi-table tournament where multiple rounds with two players per table are played. A round is defined as one stage in the tournament where all players play one match.

Each player starts with the same number of chips and players are placed at heads-up tables. The winner at each table progresses to the next round until there is one player left.

When the number of players is not a number in the power of two (2, 4, 8, 16…), a number of players will advance to the next round without having to play the first round. These players are randomly selected.

All rounds start at the same time, and end when the last match in the round is finished.
