You
will notice in the top right corner
of our tournament screen both
the Level and Time/Games remaining
as the tournament goes on. Level
20 will continue to be played
at 40000/80000 until there is
one player with all the chips
(the winner).
10.
When only two players are remaining
in Hold'em or Omaha poker tournaments,
the small blind has the button
and acts first before the flop.
This rule is a standard heads-up
(1-on-1) poker rule.
11. A bet and three raises are
permitted in structured limit
tournaments. There is no raise
cap in pot-limit and no-limit
tournaments.
12. As players
are eliminated from the tournament,
the software may balance tables
to ensure all tables have an equal
number of active players (or as
close as possible). The balancing
of tables is done randomly and,
although rare, may result in a
player having to post several
big blinds in a row. When nine
players remain in a Hold'em or
Omaha tournament or eight players
remain in a Seven Card Stud tournament,
all players are brought together
at the "final table".
13.
The tournament ends when one player
accumulates all the chips in play.
14. Players, whether in the hand
or not, may not discuss the hands
until the action is complete.
Players are obligated to protect
the other players in the tournament
at all times. Discussing cards
discarded or hand possibilities
are not allowed. A penalty will
be given for discussion of hands
during the play.
15. At the
time you lose all your chips you
are out of the tournament and
declared finished in that position.
If two or more players are eliminated
on the same hand, the player with
more chips at the beginning of
the hand is placed higher. If
players started the hands with
an identical amount of chips,
both players tie for that rank,
and any prizes due to those players
will be equally distributed between
them.
16.
Deals:
- If
all remaining players in a
tournament agree to split
the prize money according
to an agreed formula of their
choosing, 2Bet will
accept this agreement and
transfer the funds after notification
by all parties to the agreement
- It
is the players' responsibility
to determine total agreement.
Chat records alone will not
necessarily validate an agreement.
- Only
players at the final table
may deal for the money, and
no deal is allowed that does
not include all remaining
players.
2Bet
will not participate in the deal
making process, but will execute
the agreement if the previous
conditions are met.
17.
Disconnects:
- By participating
in a tournament, a player
accepts the risk of Internet
disconnection, due to the
problems with the connection
between their computer and
the servers, lag or freeze
or some other problem in the
player's computer. 2Bet
does not accept any responsibility
for a player disconnect except
in the case of a server crash.
- If during
the tournament you lose connection
or your computer freezes up
you are protected by the all-in
rule wherein you will still
be in the pot however you
are only able to win back
your chips already committed
to the pot before you lost
connection (if you end up
holding the best hand). If
you hold the best hand you
will receive your money back
and the player remaining with
the next highest hand will
receive the remainder of the
pot.
- If a player
times out during a hand, whether
connected or disconnected,
his or her hand will be folded.
(time bank).
- If a player
is not connected before a
hand starts, he or she will
be dealt cards, a blind or
an ante will be posted.
- At the final
table of a tournament with
buy-in, any player disconnecting
will be allotted an extra
240 (check sec. allow) seconds
to regain his or her connection.
For single or double table
(9 or 18 player) sit and go
tournaments, this extra re-connection
time will begin with four
players remaining. For Heads-Up
tournaments, it will be in
place for the whole tournament
but only 120 seconds will
be added. Once connection
is re-established, the player
will have his or her regularly
allotted time to act. In subsequent
hands, the time allotted will
be 120 seconds, 60 seconds
and 30 seconds, respectively
(60 seconds and 30 seconds
for Heads-Up tournaments).
Once a player re-establishes
connection, he will go back
to the original delay (240
seconds or 120 seconds) on
future disconnections. The
tournament clock for level
increases will stop during
this added time.
18.
In the event of a server crash,
all tournaments will pause at
the point they stopped and will
re-start upon correction of the
disruption. Once tournament re-started
there is a pause of 1min to allow
all players to return to there
seats. Each player's chip count
will be reset to the amount at
the beginning of the hand. In
special circumstances, when it
is impossible to restart a tournament
after the crash, it will be cancelled
and the unclaimed portion of the
prize pool will be equally divided
among all remaining players.
19.
Time Bank:
a.
Each player will be allocated
a "time bank" which
allows the player extra time
to make a decision. The time
bank depletes as it is used
throughout the tournament. If
a player elects to use his or
her time bank, other players
at the table will be notified.
b.
If a player fails to act in
time, the time bank will be
activated automatically if the
following conditions are met:
" The player
is connected to the system when
his or her time expires
" The player has money
invested in the pot
20.
Soft playing or chip dumping is
grounds for disqualification from
the tournament. Any unethical
play may result in the termination
of the offender's account.
21. Promo
Bucks cannot be use at the tables
or in tournaments until you have
converted them to real money.
22. Many of our free roll tournaments
and promotions offer extra prizes
in the form of "Promo
Bucks".
23.
In case of disputes, 2Bet
management decision will be final.
