Registration for the tournament will end at the exact time the tournament is set to start. Players will not be allowed to register after the tournament is to start. Players are to be in the lounge at least 5 minutes before the game is scheduled to begin. The TD will invite you to the table. Sit as soon as you accept the invite. Wait for the TD to record the starting scores. Do not hit start until the TD announces that the game may begin. After the last hand, please do not leave until the TD says that they have your ending score. Leaving the table before the TD has announced that the scores have been recorded will result in a disqualification. The player with arrow at the end of the game, is to hit the thinking button, if needed. Calling, folding and raising are allowed. There will be approximately 30 minutes of playing time. If a player is not in the lobby at the time the game is to begin, that player will have 10 minutes to get to the table before they are disqualified. If a player falls from the table, 5 cumulative minutes are allowed before disqualification. If a player falls more than 3 times during the game, they will be disqualified. If a player is uncooperative or disruptive during a game, that player may be disqualified at the discretion of the TD.
As a courtesy to other players, the league respectfully requests that players not play other games, whether it is another table or another tournament in another league, at the same time. Please refrain from chatting in the lobby of any lounge during any tourney as this often causes a player to lag, wasting playing time and for other players to have to wait. A TD may opt to disqualify a player for continuous lagging for these reasons.
The TD must see bonus cards before the bonus points will be recorded. If a player folds the hand, no points will be awarded. If all players, except the player with the bonus cards in their hand, folds resulting in the players hand not being revealed, bonus points will not be awarded. If the TD does not announce at the end of each hand that a player had bonus cards in their hand, please bring this to the attention of the TD as soon as possible.
| Rules that Apply to All Games Played in Game Desire |
Registration for the tournament will end at the exact time the tournament is set to start. Players will not be allowed to register after the tournament is to start. Players are to be in the lounge at least 5 minutes before the game is scheduled to begin. If more than 6 players register for a game, there will be more than 1 table. The TD will tell you which table you will be assigned to. Do not hit start until the TD announces that the game may begin. Calling, folding and raising are allowed. Once the game is started, all members will have $3,000 to use in the game. Members play until they are out of money. If 2 players go out at the same time, the one who bid the highest amount on the hand will place higher than the second person. The last player left at a table with chips is declared the winner. If there is more than one table, the winner of each table will play in a final round. Please note that there is no time limit on these games so players need to be prepared ahead of time by making sure they will be able to stay in the game as long as needed. If a player who is registered for the tournament is not in the lobby at the time the game is to begin, the TD will wait 5 minutes. If that player is not in the game room by then, the TD will disqualify that player. Players have 12 seconds to hit fold, raise or call before the game will time them out resulting in a fold. Players do not fall from the table in Game Desire. They remain sitting and fold after they time out. If a player’s internet connection is failing, the game allows 6 minutes for the connection to be corrected. If it is unable to do so, the game will remove the player from the game. TD’s have no control over this. If a player needs to leave the game for a short period of time, do not stand. This will remove the player from the game and they will be unable to rejoin again. Again, TD’s have no control over this. If a player is gone for a total of 5 minutes or more during the game, they will be disqualified. If a player leaves more than 3 times during the game, they will be disqualified. If a player is uncooperative or disruptive during a game, that player may be disqualified at the discretion of the TD.
As a courtesy to other players, the league respectfully requests that players not play other games, whether it is another table or another tournament in another league, at the same time. Please refrain from chatting in the lobby of any lounge during any tourney as this often causes a player to lag, wasting playing time and for other players to have to wait. A TD may opt to disqualify a player for continuous lagging for these reasons.
