Key Tournament Rules

All tournaments operate under TDA rules; the Tournament Director’s discretion may apply.

  • English must be spoken only when any player at the table has cards.
  • The player who made the last aggressive action must show first. If no aggressive action occurs, the next player from the button shows first. For all-ins and calls, all involved players must show their hands.
  • Calling for a clock: time may be granted by a floor person or the Tournament Director if the request is deemed reasonable. The default time limit is 30 seconds, but the Tournament Director’s discretion may apply.
  • To have a live hand, players must be in their seats when the first card is dealt to the small blind. Players not in their seats in time may not look at their cards, and their hand is declared dead.
  • The Tournament Director and floor staff must prioritise fairness and the best interests of the game. Unusual circumstances may sometimes require that decisions in the interest of fairness take priority over technical regulations. All decisions by the Tournament Director and/or floor staff are final.
  • If you have any questions, our friendly team will be happy to assist you anytime.
