• A "Tournament" is a contest in which all players start with an equal amount of chips and continue to play until one player remains and accumulates all the chips. (Blinds/antes are raised consistently throughout the tournament and more than one place may be paid.)

• All one-table Tournaments are freeze-outs (no re-buys).

• Tournaments will begin within seconds after all Players are seated.

• The Player who draws the high-card will start with the button in the Games Hold'em and Omaha prior to the start of the Tournament. In case two Players get the same high-card, the suit preference of spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs will determine who starts with the button.

• The Tournament will continue until one Player wins all the chips.

• When a Player loses all his/her chips, they are eliminated from play.

• In "Limit Tournaments" (Limit tournaments are those which have a prescribed amount of betting at each level.), one bet, and three raises, are permitted. When only two Players remain, there is no limit on raises. No Player will miss any "Blind". A "blind" is a fixed amount of money, determined by the size of the game, that is put into the pot in Hold'em and Omaha games prior to the dealing of the hand. The purpose of the "blind(s)" is to initiate action.

• It will be possible for a hand to have only one blind - the "Big Blind", with no "Small Blind". The Small Blind is the lesser of the two blinds and it's used in most Hold'em and Omaha games. The Small Blind is placed into the pot by the player immediately to the left of the dealer button.

• Players may inherit the button for more than one hand (the "Dead Button"). This is necessary to ensure all Players take all Blinds.

• If two or more Players are eliminated on the same hand, the Player(s) who started the hand with the most money will get the higher finishing position. If they begin the hand with the same amount of money, they will equally divide any prize money due them.

• When two Players remain, the Player due to assume the Big Blind will do so, and the Small Blind will inherit the button. The Small Blind or button will act first prior to the flop and second after the flop.

• There are no breaks during our Tournaments. The Tournament will continue until there is a winner. If a Player needs to be away from the table, he or she should click on the "autopost and fold" button located on the left side of the screen as a courtesy to the other Players.

• The prize payoffs will be exactly according to the pay-out structure (the "Pay-Out Structure") and there will be no deals.

• Poker etiquette ("Etiquette") is expected from all Players. Those abusing proper Etiquette may be asked by Texas-Hold-em-poker.biz Personnel to leave the Tournament and/or to stop playing at Texas-Hold-em-poker.biz.

• There should be no soft-playing during Tournaments. Soft playing is to not bet your hand to the fullest extent when playing against someone (usually friends and/or family). It goes against the spirit of the game and is considered cheating in some instances.

• If for any reason a Player loses his/her connection, play will continue. In Tournament play, blinds and antes will continue to be posted automatically. Please log back on as soon as possible and continue play. Players will be blinded/anteed out of the Tournament if they do not reconnect.

If a Player is disconnected while playing and uses an All-in, the All-in button should be re-set upon the Player's return or the Player will be automatically folded next time rather than deemed to be All-in.

• Players are allowed two All-ins per Tournament due to a disconnection problem. To re-set the All-in button or to check the All-ins remaining, a Player must go to the lobby, click "options" (located in upper left hand corner of the screen), and then click the appropriate tab. Players have a maximum limit of ten All-ins per week.

The remaining Players will be refunded their Buy-ins and entry fees and will equally divide up the Buy-in monies from the Players already eliminated, regardless of the chip standing when the server went down.
