Tournament Rules

1	Floor People	Floor people are to consider the best interest of the game and fairness as the top priority in the decision-making process. Unusual circumstances can, on occasion, dictate that the technical interpretation of the rules be ignored in the interest of fairness. The floorperson's decision is final.
2	Chip-Race	When it is time to color-up chips, they will be raced off with a maximum of one chip going to any player. The chip race will always start in the No.1 seat. A player cannot be raced out of a tournament. In the event that a player has only one chip left, the regular race procedure will take place. If that player loses the race, he will be given one chip of the smallest denomination still in play.
3	Odd chips	The odd chip(s) will go to the high hand, when there are two or more high hands or two or more low hands, the odd chip(s) will go to the hand closest to the button.
4	Side pots	Each side pot will be split as a separate pot. They will not be mixed together before they are split.
5	Dead Button	Tournament play will use a dead button.
6	Penalties	A penalty MAY be invoked if a player exposes any card with action pending, if a card(s) goes off the table, if soft-play occurs, or similar incidents take place. Penalties WILL be invoked in cases of abuse, disruptive behavior, or similar incidents.
7	Face up	All cards will be turned face up once one or more players are all in and all action is complete.
8	50%	If a player puts in a raise of 50 percent or more of the previous bet, he will be required to make a full raise. The raise will be exactly the minimum raise allowed.
9	Call	In limit games, an oversized chip will be constituted to be a call if the player does not announce a raise. In spread-limit, an oversized chip before the flop is a call; after the flop, an oversized chip by the initial bettor put in the pot will constitute the size of the bet. In spread-limit, if a player states raise and throws in an oversized chip without first stating the raise amount, the raise will be the maximum amount allowable up to the size of that chip.
10	One player	The one-player-to-a-hand rule will be enforced.
11	Random Seats	Tournament seats will be randomly assigned.
12	English-only	The English-only rule will be enforced during the play of hands.
13	Cell Phone	A player who wants to use a cellular phone must step away from the table.
14	Foreign chips	There will be no foreign chips on the table except for a maximum of one card cap.
15	Deck changes	Deck changes will be as prescribed by the house. Players may not ask for deck changes.
16	New limits	When time has elapsed in a round and a new round is announced, the new limits apply to the next hand. A hand has begun with the first riffle.
17	Behind	A player may not miss a hand. If a player announces the intent to rebuy before the first card is dealt, that player is playing behind and is obligated to make the rebuy.
18	Declarations	Verbal declarations as to the content of a player's hand are not binding; however at management's discretion, any player deliberately miscalling his hand may be penalized.
19	Rabbit hunting	No rabbit hunting is allowed.
20	Broken Table	Players moved from a broken table may be placed in any position and assume all rights and responsibilities of that position
21	Chips Visible	All chips must be visibly displayed at all times. Players may not have tournament chips in their pockets at any time. A player who has chips in his pocket will forfeit the chips. The forfeited chips will be taken out of play from the tournament.
22	Raises	There will be a limit of a bet and three raises, except when heads-up.
23	Unprotected Hand	Players are responsible for protecting their own hands at all times.
24	Killing Winning Hand	Dealers cannot kill a winning hand that was turned face up and was obviously the winning hand.
25	Verbal declarations	Verbal declarations in turn are binding. Action out of turn may be binding.
26	Penalties that may be applied	Penalties available for use by the TD are verbal warnings, killing a hand, 10, 20, 30, and 40 minutes away from the table and may be used with discretion. These may be utilized up to and including disqualification. A player who is disqualified shall have his chips removed from play.
27	Moving players	Players will be moved from the big blind to worst position.
28	Less than full raise	Less than a full raise does not reopen the betting to a player who already has acted.
29	No discussion	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 is not allowed. A penalty may be given for discussion of hands during the play.
30	Exposed cards	A player who exposes his cards during the play may incur a penalty, and may have his hand killed.
31	One motion	When raising, a player must either put the amount of the raise out in one motion or state the raise amount. By stating the word raise, a player protects his right to raise, but the raise must be made in one additional motion unless he states the amount.
32	Verbally disclosing contents	Verbally disclosing the contents of your hand or advising a player how to play a hand may result in a penalty.
33	Other Rules	House Rules apply. Other rules may apply, depending on the format and structure of the individual tournament. The Floorperson's decision is always final.
34	Management	Management reserves the right to cancel or alter any event at its sole discretion in the best interest of the cardroom or its players.
