ABOUT TOURNAMENTS
In a multi-table tournament, players start with a fixed number of chips. Players at numerous tables compete for one
another's chips as the blinds and/or antes increase incrementally. As players are eliminated, tables are "broken",
meaning players are re-assigned to keep tables full, or even with one another. Eventually, the last few surviving
players with chips are assigned to the final table, where the eventual winner is the individual who wins all the chips
from his or her opponents. Cash prizes are awarded to top finishers on the basis of number of tournament entries.
SHOOTOUTS
A shootout is a special kind of multi-table tournament. Normally, when you play in a multi-table tournament, players
are moved from table to table to balance the number of players at each table. Eventually, the fortunate last nine
players end up at the "final table". In a shootout, no such table balancing is done. You remain at your original table
until only one player is left standing. If you win that table, you advance to another table and repeat the process
against players who each won their first table.
In a DOUBLE SHOOTOUT, you need to win two tables to win the event, although often there is some money for
everybody who makes the second table. . Each starting table is played to its conclusion; the final table is formed of
the winners of the first round matches.
In a TRIPLE SHOOTOUT, you must win three tables to win the entire event (again, there may well be some prize
money distributed along the way). For example, assuming a standard (9 players per table) triple shootout is full, 729
players will be placed, 9 per table, at 81 tables within the tournament. Each table will play until there is one player
remaining with all of the chips from that table. The 81 players remaining will then be moved to 9 tables for Round 2.
As in Round 1, each table will play until one player has all of the chips from that table. Finally, the 9 remaining
players will advance to the final table, where the Champion of the tournament shall be determined.
Note that this whole process could be extended to quadruple shootouts and on up. Also, the tables don't necessarily
have to start at nine players each. For instance, for the 2004 *WSOP, we ran triple shootouts with four-player tables
(a total of 64 players in each event).
SATELLITES
A satellite is a smaller tournament in which the prize is an entry into a larger tournament. Satellites are inexpensive
to enter compared with multi-table tournaments. While a multi-table tournament may carry a $200 buy-in, one can
buy into a satellite for $20 and win a $200 seat in the multi-table tournament. Multi-table satellites are scheduled as
regular tournaments, and the sign-up details and play are identical.
An example of how a satellite would work: The buy in for the larger tournament is $200+$20. The buy in for the
satellite is $20+$2. If there are 10 entrants (into the satellite), first place will get an entry to the larger tournament. If
there are 20 entrants then 1st and 2nd place will receive entry to the larger tournament. If there are 23 entrants, 1st
and 2nd place will get entries to the larger tournament and 3rd place will get a $60 prize.
If there is a cost to enter either a tournament or satellite, it will be denoted by stating the buy-in amount and the
entry fee. A cost of "30+3" indicates that the buy-in is $30, and the entry fee is $3. The $30 goes to the prize pool
which the players compete for, while the $3 entry fee is taken as compensation for hosting the tournament.
FREEROLLS
There is another type of tournament, a "freeroll", in which entry is completely free. There is no buy-in and no entry
fee, but there are cash prizes available to win.
These tournaments can be easily found by clicking on the "Tourney" tab in the main client window, and then on the
"Freeroll" tab. We hold several such events daily, leading to a Weekly Round 2 championship.
During peak hours (6pm to 3am), these tournaments are limited to 1000 players to prevent server overload. They
are very popular and you may have difficulties getting in before they fill up. The offpeak tournaments have no limit
on the number of players; as well, most Freeroll tourneys are immediately followed by a micro buy in real money
event (cost of playing is always $3 or less).
SIT & GO
A sit&go event is a one or two table event that is not regularly scheduled; it simply begins when all the seats for the
event are filled. These tournaments can be found by clicking on the "Sit&Go" tab in the main client window.
We offer 5 kinds of sit&go tournaments:
Single table: 9 players. Pays top 3 places (50%-30%-20%).
Two table: 18 players; players are randomly assigned across two tables. Once nine players are eliminated, the two
tables are combined into one table. Pays top 4 places (40%-30%-20%-10%).
Multi-Table: 2-table, 3-table, 5-table, 10-table and 20-table Sit & Gos. Players are randomly assigned a table, nine
players per table. When nine players are eliminated the remaining tables will be combined. Combining continues
until there are only nine players remaining in the tournament. Information about the prizes awarded can be found by
clicking on the "Prize Info" button in the tournament lobby.
Headsup: 2 players, mano a mano. Winner takes all.
Headsup 4 player match: 4 players; divided into two tables and two headsup matches are played. The two winners
then play another headsup match for all the marbles. Winner takes all.
REBUY TOURNAMENTS
A rebuy tournament is one in which you have the opportunity to buy more chips during the event. In a non-rebuy
tournament, when you run out of chips, you're out of the tournament. In a rebuy tourney, you can (with some
restrictions) buy more chips.
Here are the facts about rebuy tournaments:
There is a "rebuy period" at the beginning of the tournament. A typical rebuy period might be the first hour of the
event (until the first break starts). Once that period is over, no more rebuys are permitted.
During the rebuy period, there may be a fixed number of rebuys available, or an unlimited number.
If you run completely out of chips, you will automatically be offered a rebuy (if one is available). At any time, you can
click on the dealer tray and select the "Add More Chips" option. If you're not eligible for a rebuy (because you've
reached the maximum number of rebuys), you'll get a message to that effect.
In general, you may rebuy using the "Add More Chips" button in the dealer tray any time in the middle of a hand
when your stack size at the start of that hand is equal to or less than the original number of chips in the tournament.
This means you can rebuy once before the tournament even starts!
There may be an "add-on" available at the end of the rebuy period. Typically this will be during the first break. An
add-on is just one extra rebuy. The add-on will not be automatically offered to you. To take the add-on, wait for the
message that "Players are now on break." Click on the dealer tray and select the "Add More Chips" option. In
general, the add-on is available no matter how many chips you have.
The rebuy may cost any amount, but generally costs the same as the original buyin, and gets you the same number
of chips that you got for your original buyin.
The add-on may cost any amount, but generally costs the same as the original buyin, and gets you the same or
higher number of chips that you got for your original buyin.
Rebuys are not charged a rake as is the original buyin. So if a rebuy tournament has a buyin of $10+1, then the
rebuys will usually be $10 and all $10 of each rebuy will go into the prize pool.
The prize pool and payoffs will not be announced until the rebuy period ends, since the prize pool increases with
each rebuy.
Note that many of the rules described above are "typical" or "normal". The exact details for each tournament will be
posted in the tournament's lobby.
DEEP STACKS
You will often see a tournament in the lobby labelled as a "Deep Stacks" event. This indicates that each player
starts with more chips than usual.
The starting stack in most Deep Stack events is 5,000 chips. The blinds are normally the same as a regular
PokerStars tournament, thus giving each player more play throughout the event.
In addition to a deeper-than-normal starting stack, most Deep Stack events have 30-minute intervals between
levels. The normal interval between changes in levels on PokerStars is 15 minutes. Lengthening the levels in Deep
Stacks events is another way of providing a lot of play, particularly in the early stages of the tournament.
You can find Deep Stack events in the lobby; the words "Deep Stacks" should be in the name, which should be in
pink.
6-MAX
"6-max" in the tournament's title indicates that at each table, there are 6 seats, as opposed to the normal 9 (or 8 in
stud-type games).
6-max events are generally shown in the lobby in a light blue.
TURBO
A turbo event (usually displayed in the lobby in green) is one in which the blind levels increase much faster than in
standard play. The interval in a turbo tournament is usually 5 minutes (as opposed to the standard 15), though
there are turbo events with 6-minute intervals.
Turbo rebuy events usually break at 30 minutes as opposed to 60 minutes in a standard rebuy event.
