Tournament Rules
- Tournament seats are available on a first come first served basis.
- Seating within all single and multi table tournaments is random. Players cannot change seats during a tournament. A player will change seat only when moved from a table to another table during a multi-table tournament.
- The player situated in Seat 1 is the designated 'Dealer' for the start of the tournament.
- If more than one player is eliminated in a hand, the player with more chips at the beginning of the hand is placed higher. In an instance where 2 or more players are eliminated, and they started the hand with an identical chip count, the player closest to the left of the Dealer Button will be eliminated first, then the player closest to the left of that player, and so on, clockwise around the table.
- If there is a split pot, not equally divisible by the number of players in the hand, the chips will first be divided evenly between the winners, then any extra chip(s) will be awarded to he player(s) closest to the left of the Dealer Button.
- Juicy Stakes Poker uses the "Dead Button Rule" in Texas Hold'em and Omaha tournaments. The Dead Button Rule works as follows: when the small blind or big blind player is eliminated, the blinds are re-positioned in order to account for the eliminated player. This ensures fairness to all players, by ensuring that everyone at the table posts appropriate blinds so that no player gains an unfair advantage when another payer is eliminated. When two players remain (or in a Heads-up tournament) the button will post the small blind and act first on the opening round.
- Poker is a game of integrity and etiquette. Each player should play with the same intensity against all other players. Unethical play, such as soft-play and chip dumping, may result in penalties, including seizure of funds from the offender's account and/or forfeiture of any prizes and/or termination of the account.
- Juicy Stakes Poker reserves the right to cancel or reschedule tournaments at any time, for any reason, with or without notice.
- Tournament registration must meet minimum requirements for that event or the tournament will be cancelled. In the event of a tournament cancellation, due to an insufficient number of entrants, all buy-ins and entry fees will be returned to player's accounts.
- In the final stages of a tournament, the prize money can jump significantly with each player eliminated. In these instances, where there is more than one table remaining, the tournament may be played "hand-for-hand". This means that if one table finishes its hand before the other table(s), that table waits for the other table(s) to finish before the next hand is dealt. During this hand-for-hand period, all bust outs during a "synchronized" hand (even at different tables) are treated as having happened on the same hand and chip stacks will be compared as in rule 7 above to determine the finishing order.
- Tournament details, eg. start time, buy-in, ect. are subjust to change without notification.
- Extra Time
- Each player is allotted a Time Bank during tournament play, to allow for decision making. Such extra time is limited and is displayed as a clock when activated. It decreases as it is being used and stops once a player acts. Extra time will automatically be activated if a player has an active connection to the game, has money in the pot and does not act in time.
- The amount of extra time provided varies for each tournament. Each tournament's specific extra time bank will be displayed in the Tournament Information screen, via the Tournament Lobby.
- Break Schedules
- There will be a 5 minute break every hour in a standard multi-table tournament. There are no breaks during single-table tournaments.
- Deals
- Juicy Stakes Poker does not assist in any deals among players during tournaments. Tournaments will continue until there is one declared winner, unless it is a satellite event, and the payoffs will be exactly according to the prize payout structure.
- Registration
- Late Registration: Some tournaments will allow players to register after the tournament has started playing. Registration will terminate if the max number of players allowed for the tourney is reached:
- Or 15 minutes after the start of a freezeout tourney
- Or After the first break of an R&A tourney
- Or After the first prize has been awarded
- Unregistration: In most tournaments a player can unregister until ten minutes prior to the start of the event. Players who have won their seats through a satellite can unregister when the tournament is in "Registering" state and will be credited with a Ticket. The Tournament Ticket will appear under the Player's 'My Tournaments' and is available for use for the same tournament, at another scheduled time.
- Server Issues
- In the event of a server crash, all hands in progress will be rolled back. Each player's chip count will be reset to the amount at the beginning of the hand.
- If we experience a server crash or unscheduled downtime of less than 20 minutes we will attempt to restart tournaments as soon as the majority of players have reconnected. If the downtime lasts longer than 20 minutes we reserve the right to cancel tournaments and refund players based on our tournament cancellation policy.
- Juicy Stakes Poker Management decisions are final.
Tournament Cancellation Policy
If a tournament is cancelled prior to starting, all players will receive a refund of their full tournament registration fees. Tournament fees will be refunded in the exact manner that they were paid. (This may include any combination of cash, Gold Chips or Gold Cards).
Cancellation prior to the start of a tournament
If a tournament is cancelled before it begins, each player registered will receive a refund of the buy-in and fee. Refunds will be provided in the same currency each player paid to register whether it is cash, ticket, gold chips, gold cards etc. However in some cases tickets may be refunded in cash.
50/50 Tournament Policy (not ITM yet)
If a tournament is cancelled before the any prizes are have been awarded we will compensate all remaining players based on their play up to the time of the cancellation. First the buy-ins and fees will be refunded to all remaining players. Then 50% of the remaining prize pool will be divided equally among the remaining players and the other 50% of the prize pool will be awarded proportionately based on each player's chip count. Players eliminated prior to the cancellation will not be entitled to a refund. All awards for a cash prize tournament cancelled in progress will be cash. If the cancelled tournament has a guaranteed prize pool, only the total prize pool generated by tournament buy-ins (and rebuys & add-ons if the tourney was an R&A) will be awarded (not the guaranteed prize).
In the Money Tournament Policy
If a tournament is cancelled after one or more cash prizes have been awarded we will compensate all remaining players based on their play up to the time of the cancellation. First all remaining players will receive a refund of their entry fee. Then each player remaining will receive a cash prize equal to the next prize that was to be awarded before cancellation. The rest of the prize pool will then be distributed proportionately to the remaining players based on each players chip count (if the prize pool is not large enough to pay each player the next prize, distribute the prize pool based on chip count only). Players eliminated prior to the cancellation will not be entitled to a refund. All awards for a cash prize tournament cancelled in progress will be cash. If the cancelled tournament has a guaranteed prize pool, only the total prize pool generated by tournament buy-ins (and rebuys & add-ons if the tourney was an R&A) will be awarded (not the guaranteed prize).
Sit'N'Go Tournaments
If a Sit and Go is cancelled before it begins, each player registered will receive a refund of the buy-in and fee. If a Sit and Go is cancelled while running, each remaining player will receive a refund for the buy-in and fee and the remaining prize pool will be split among the remaining players proportionally based on chip counts. Players eliminated prior to the cancellation will not be entitled to a refund.
