CONSOLATION TOURNAMENTS

ü       Players arriving late and players that are eliminated early have the opportunity to join the waiting list for a consolation tournament by signing up on the white board.

ü        The consolation tournament will begin after a table has been consolidated due to elimination and 7 or more people are on the waiting list. The remaining chip stacks are NOT blinded in, additional players start with a full stack at the next Big Blind position.

ü        Check with the Tournament Director prior to starting to determine if the table qualifies for re-entry.

ü        The consolation tournament is a single-table sit ‘n go format.

ü        The number of consolation tournaments run is at the tournament director’s discretion.  

ü        Players begin with 200 in chips.

ü        The winner of a qualifying consolation tournament will be awarded a re-entry into the main event. A qualifying consolation tournament is determined by the tournament director

o         The winner of a qualifying consolation tournament will re-enter the event with 2,000 chips and receive 25 Reward Points.

o         In the case that there are less players remaining in the main event than the number required for re-entry (defined by tournament director) or the second break is over, the player with the most chips will be re-entered into the main tournament.  The “magic number” is usually the number of places paid out in bonus points plus 5.
