A respectful and fair environment is the foundation of every tournament. Please review these standards before taking your seat.
We follow the Tournament Directors Association (TDA) rules to ensure fairness and consistency in all our tournaments. TDA rules cover all aspects of tournament play, from hand rankings to dispute resolution. Floor decisions are final, and players are expected to know basic rules before participating.
Respectful behaviour is expected at all times. Abusive language, collusion, and angle shooting are strictly prohibited. One player to a hand, and no discussing folded cards. Penalties for rule violations may include warnings, missed hands, or disqualification.
Chip races are conducted according to TDA standards to remove low-denomination chips from play efficiently. A chip race occurs at designated blind levels. Players may not be raced out of the tournament, and the dealer manages the chip race process.
The dealer button moves clockwise after each hand, and blinds are posted accordingly. Understanding these structures is essential for smooth play. The button determines the order of play, and the small blind and big blind are posted each hand. The dealer manages the button and blinds.
