Multi-Table Tournaments
Multi-table
tournaments are exactly what they sound like, tournaments that need more
than one table to accommodate every player who registers. These tournaments
are scheduled in advance and players can register for them up to the tournament's
start time. Their buy-ins are listed in terms of the amount that goes
towards the prize pool, and the amount that the house keeps. For instance,
if a tournament costs $1+0, $1 will go towards to prize pool and the house
will keep $0. If the tournament costs $100+9 though, $100 will go towards
the prize pool and the house will keep $9 from each entry.
REGISTERING
FOR A MULTI-TABLE TOURNAMENT
Once you download our software and set up a complete account,
you will be able to register for our multi-table tournaments. Our
upcoming multi-table tournaments are listed by pressing "Tournament
Schedule" button. You can scroll through the list of upcoming
events until you find the one you want. Simply click on the event
to read more about it and register. To register for real money,
you will need to have the correct amount of money in your account
at the time you register.
Once you have
successfully registered for an event, you will be sent a confirmation
email to the email address on file with your poker account. To play
in a tournament that you registered for, simply log in to the game
prior to your tournament's start time on the appropriate day. Once
the tournament is up and your table is ready, our software will
automatically take you to your table.

TOURNAMENT
RULES
- Registration
for multi-table tournaments is open until the tournament's
posted start time
- Once registered
for an event, the buy-in is non-refundable.
- Unless
noted for a specific promotion, all players will begin with
the same chip amount.
- Players
are seated at random. Seat changes are not allowed.
- In multi-table
tournaments, the button is randomly assigned to a player at
the table.
- Prize pools
are awarded according to the prize pool payout listed within
the tournament information page for that event. Deals are not
enforced by the cardroom.
- Tournaments
are played until one player has all the chips
- Players
who do not show up for their event will either be eliminated
from the event, or will be blinded off until they arrive. This
varies per tournament but generally in real-money buy-in tournaments
players are blinded off and in promotional tournaments players
are given 20 minutes to arrive before they are eliminated from
the event.
- During
the tournament, information about when the next break will
occur will be displayed in the lower-left.
- As a tournament
progresses the tournament software will combine tables and
try to maintain an equal number of players at all the remaining
tables. Players will see a note in the lower left of the table
telling them that tables are being consolidated.
- If a player
needs to be moved to maintain balance, the tournament software
will choose the player due to pay the big blind at one of the
tables with the most remaining players, and move that player
to one of the tables with the least remaining number of players.
The player who is moved will be seated at the new table as
far away from the big blind as possible given the available
seats. This advantage is meant to equalize the disadvantage
of being moved to a table where the player is less familiar
with their opponents.
- In limit
tournaments bets are limited to 4 during each betting round,
the initial bet plus 3 raises. This is true regardless of the
number of players remaining in the tournament.
- In no-limit
and pot-limit tournaments there is no restriction on the number
of raises allowed during a betting round.
- If there
is a split pot, not equally divisible by the number of players
in the hand, the 'extra' chips will be awarded to the player
closest to the left of the button.
- In tournaments
when two players get eliminated in the same hand, the person
who started the hand with the most chips gets the higher finish
and awarded the corresponding prize pool for that placement
- Players
moved to a new table will not be able to play until the button
passes them. Pirates Of Poker uses the dead button feature to
ensure that all players take the big blind in their turn. As
such, it is possible that a player will receive the button
for more than one hand. It is also possible that a big blind
is posted in a hand but no small blind, if the person who was
to receive the small blind was eliminated from the tournament
in the previous hand.
- When two
players remain in the tournament, the player due to receive
the big blind will do so and the player in the small blind
position will inherit the button.
- Hand-by-hand
dealing may be enacted during any tournament. This means that
the tournament software will wait until a hand is played at
all remaining tables, before dealing the next hand. This discourages
the practice of slow playing.
- Players
who have an active internet connection and fail to act during
their turn will be folded
- Players
who lose connection during an event will be blinded off until
such a time they can rejoin their tournament
- Our standard all-in
policy applies to our tournaments
- During
game play, players are prohibited from chatting about the play
of their and/or their opponents' hands until all actions for
that hand are complete. Such chat could result in disqualification
or other penalties.
- Tournament
registration must meet the minimum requirement for that event
or the tournament will not run. In this event, all buy-ins
and fees will be returned to the players' accounts
- In the
event a tournament is cancelled due to technical difficulties
at Pirates Of Poker, players who were already eliminated from
the event will lose their buy-in and fees. The remaining players
in the event will be paid the prize money based on their chip
stacks and standings in the tournament at the time the tournament
stops running.
- Soft playing
or chip dumping is not allowed. Players involved in these or
other unethical activities may be eliminated from a tournament
and/or have their accounts terminated.
- Pirates Of
Poker reserves the right to disqualify any player who does
not follow tournament guidelines or acts inappropriately during
a tournament.
- Pirates Of
Poker reserves the right to change any tournament time, guaranteed
prize pool, or event without notice.
- Pirates Of
Poker reserves the right to alter the rules and make final
decisions on all tournament related issues as they arise, and
at our sole discretion
- In case
of disputes decisions made by Pirates Of Poker are final.
