Tournament Rules
A player must be at their seat when the last card is dealt to all players on the initial deal to have a live hand. Players must be at their seats to call clock. “At your seat” is defined as being within reach or touch of your chair.
Higher denomination chips must be placed where they are easily visible and identifiable to all other players at the table at all times. “Hidden” chips may result in the offender being restricted in the player’s further action or another player being allowed to reconsider their action.
Tournament chips must be visible on the table throughout the event. Chips taken off the table will be removed from the event, and a player doing this may be disqualified.
All cards will be turned face up once a player is all in and all action is complete.
A player must show cards when playing the board to get part of the pot.
All cell phones and other voice-enabled and “ringing” electronic devices must be silenced during tournament play. A player who wants to use a cell phone must be at least one table length away from their assigned table or be subject to penalty. No cell phones or other electronic communication device can be placed on a poker table.
A player exposing their cards with action pending may incur a penalty, but will not have a dead hand. The penalty will begin at the end of the hand. All players at the table are entitled to see the exposed card(s), if requested. A penalty may also be imposed if a player throws a card off the table, violates the one-player-to-a-hand rule, or engages in similar behavior. Penalties will be invoked in cases of verbally stating one’s hand during play, soft-play, abuse or disruptive behavior. All penalties will be imposed at the tournament director’s discretion.
