Registration

  1. Sit & Go tournaments start as soon as the required number of players takes a seat. Players choose their seats on a first-come-first-served basis.

  3. Multi-table tournaments start at predetermined times. Players will be randomly seated.
  4. Late registration is available in selected multi-table tournaments. Registration is considered closed when any of the following occurs:

    2. A player may be positioned with the button for more than one hand.

They also may apply to situations that have too many variations to address with one universal rule.
