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).
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 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 for 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.
