-
Single-Table
Tournaments begin soon after all seats at the table are filled.
-
Once a tournament has
begun, players cannot change their seats.
-
If a player leaves a
Single-Table Tournament table before the tournament begins, the
tournament buy-in will be refunded. Refunds will not be issued
to players who leave the table after the tournament begins.
-
In the unlikely event
that a Single-Table Tournament is cancelled by Everest Poker due
to technical, operational or any other reason, players who were
eliminated before the cancellation will not receive a refund of
their buy-in. Everest Poker will distribute the prize pool to
some or all of the remaining players at its sole discretion. If
the cancellation occurs before the tournament begins, all
players will have their buy-ins refunded.
-
Unless explicitly
stated otherwise, all players begin with an equal number of
chips and the blinds and antes are raised at regular intervals.
-
Single-Table
Tournaments are played through completion without breaks. In
Multi-Table Tournaments, the tournament tables will have a five
(5) minute break after each hour of play.
-
At the beginning of a
tournament, each player is randomly dealt one card from the
thirteen cards of one suit (for example, clubs ♣). The player
who receives the highest card is assigned the dealer button.
-
Single-Table
Tournaments are played until one player has all of the chips.
-
Each player has
thirty (30) seconds to act when it is their turn to do so. If
the player has an active Internet connection but does not act
within the time allotted, their cards will be folded.
-
If a player loses
their Internet connection or otherwise disconnect from the
server, their blinds and antes will be posted and their cards
folded until the are able to reconnect and rejoin their
tournament.
-
Players who sit out
or are disconnected from our single-table cash freeroll
tournaments (Shasta tables) for an extended period of time will
be removed.
-
Everest Poker's
Disconnect Bet Protection Policy applies to tournaments.
-
In tournament play,
Everest Poker observes a policy of no missed blinds in order to
make sure that every player posts the big blind when it is their
turn to do so. As a result, there are instances in which a
player will retain the dealer button for more than one hand.
There may also be hands in which a big blind is posted without a
small blind, if the player in the position to receive the small
blind was eliminated from the tournament in the previous hand.
-
For limit
tournaments, each round of betting in a tournament is limited to
the initial bet plus three (3) raises. This limit is removed if
there are only two (2) players left in the hand. There are no
bet limits in no limit and pot limit tournaments.
-
In the case of a
split pot that is not equally divisible by the number of winning
players, the player closest to the left of the dealer button
will receive the remaindered chips.
-
If more than one
player gets eliminated in a single hand, the player who started
that hand with more chips will be awarded the higher finishing
place. If the eliminated players started with the same amount of
chips, the higher finishing place is awarded to the player who
joined the tournament first.
-
When only two players
remain in a tournament, the player who is next to receive the
big blind will do so, and the second player will inherit the
small blind and the dealer button.
-
Everest Poker does
not encourage, sanction, facililate, or enforce any deals or
partnerships made among players. Players who engage in deal
making do so at their own risk. Everest Poker neither permits
deal making in the player chat at the table nor enforces any
deals made between players.
-
Players are
prohibited from discussing their cards, their opponents' cards
as well as the playing of the hand until that hand has been
completed.
-
Players who engage in
unethical behavior such as soft playing or chip dumping risk
disqualification from the tournament as well as the termination
of their player accounts.
-
Player agree to
adhere to the conditions of play outlined in our Terms of
Agreement.
-
In case of disputes,
all decisions made by Everest Poker are final.
-
At our sole
discretion, Everest Poker reserves the right to modify these
rules at any time.
