Rules
This event is a freeze-out, there are NO re-buys and NO add-ons. Tables will play with a maximum of 8 players per table, unless more seats are needed. Players will deal for themselves, unless players agree to allow a particular individual to deal for the table. The final table will begin with 9 players, and will have a dedicated dealer.
This event will be a “winner-take-all” event. The winner chooses which tournament they wish to enter, subject to the amount of money available. If, after the winner has chosen their event, there is enough money left over (not counting the $10 share money), second place may choose an event, subject to the remaining money available.
Because this is a “winner-take-all” event, $5 of the $65 entry fee will be put towards a bounty. This will at least give everyone a chance to get some money back, even in a losing cause.
The winner(s) agree to split any WPT/WSOP winnings 50/50. They will keep 50% of any money they win in the events, and the other 50% will be split among those who purchased the $10 “shares,” including the winner(s) if they purchased one. ALL players will be made to sign waivers indicating that they agree to split the money as indicated above.
The money from the $10 “shares” will also be “winner(s)-take-all”, with the money to be divided based on the entry fees of the tournaments selected by the winner(s). If only one winner, he/she will get all the “share” money.
Unlike other OPS events, NO money from this game will be put aside for food or drinks. The usual assortment of pop, water and Power Quencher will be available for sale at a very reasonable price. We will decide as a group whether to order food later in the game.
This game will use the WPT blind structure, with the only difference being 15 minute blinds. This will make for a 6-8 hour game, depending on the number of players. (Usually account for an hour for every 10 players.) The tournament director reserves the right to alter the blind structure to ensure the game finishes within a reasonable time frame.
There will be NO scheduled “breaks”. However, we will stop after Level 8 (120 minutes, approximately 1pm), after Level 14 (~2:45pm), Level 17 (~3:45pm) and Level 24 (~5:30pm) in order to chip up. However, if the remaining participants wish to order food at any of the levels above, a longer break will be provided.
Late players will still pay the full $65 entry fee, but will be deducted chips according to the “patience factor calculator” based on the level with which they show up, rounded up to the nearest chip quantity.
