Tournaments Rules for G2G Poker Tourneys
- Players are required to register to participate in tournaments. Registration is done through the Game Console Lobby under the tournaments section. Registration closes once the tournament begin
- Players are required to post the Tournament Buy-In and Tournament Entry Fee upon registration. Should you wish to drop out of a tournament, you must do so 5 minutes before the tournament begins.
- All tournaments begin at their posted start time. Start times can be viewed from the main lobby.
- Seating is randomly assigned to players at the beginning of the tournament.
- Limits are increased automatically every 15 minutes in accordance with the Tournament Limit Structure chart. For Sit & Go, limits are increased every 10 hands
- High card determines which player gets the dealer button first hand of the tournament. Should 2 or more players receive the highest card, suit rank of Spades, Diamonds, Clubs, and Hearts will determine who will be the dealer.
- For Multi-Table Tournaments, our software will automatically break tables and reassign players in a random method, in order to maintain balance, as the multi-table tournament play progresses. When players are moved, they will have to play as placed at the table – (i.e. posting the big blind if placed in a seat required to do so, regardless if you were required to do so at the last hand at the last table).
- There will be one 5 minute break each hour in Multi-Table Tournaments. There will be no scheduled breaks for Sit & Go Tournaments.
- Prize pool payouts will be exactly as described in the payout structure. The number of players in each tournament will set the payout for that tournament. Once the registration desk is closed, the current tournament payout will be available for viewing from the lobby. G2G Poker will not be responsible for any deals made between players prior to a tournament, and will follow the set payout structure only.
- Players will begin with 1500 tournament chips for each standard tournament. Tournament chips have no monetary value.
- Standard tournaments are limited to one bet and 3 raises for each round of betting. When the tournament is down to only 2 players, there are no limits on the number of raises. During No-limit and Pot-limit tournament play, there are no restrictions on the number of raises permitted in a round.
- Minimum and maximum number of registrants for each tournament, as posted on the tournament lobby registration screen, is subject to change depending on the tournament demand.
- If more than one player is eliminated during the same hand, the player with the most chips at the beginning of the hand will be awarded a higher finishing position. Should this result in a tie, any monies won by the finishing position(s) will be split evenly between the players involved in the tie.
- Players may not discuss the hands until the action is complete. Discussing discarded cards or hand possibilities is not allowed. Penalties may be given for discussion of hands during the play.
- Soft-Play, Chip-Dumping, and/or any action intended to help another player is contrary to ethical play, and may result in penalties, including seizure of funds from the offender’s account and/or termination of the account.
- During tournament play, should a player become disconnected and they have chips at stake in the hand, and they fail to re-connect or they fail to act, their hands are automatically folded and their blinds are automatically posted when appropriate. The player will subsequently be “blinded out” if they fail to re-connect to the poker tournament table.
- In case of disputes, G2G Poker’s management decision will be final.
Tournament Types and Fees
Scheduled Tournaments: These tournaments start at the specified times according to the Tournament Schedule.
Guaranteed Tournaments:Guaranteed Tournaments are generally multitable tournaments with more than 10 players.
Guaranteed means that there is a Guaranteed prize pool, no matter how many entrants are in the tournament.
Guaranteed tournaments have a buy-in and entry fee. Usually the prize pool is Guaranteed above the maximum number of players in the tournament,
this ensures bigger prizes even if there are only a few tables competing.
Some Guaranteed tournaments have "rebuys" and "add-ons", noted as an R/A tournament.
This means that if you bust out (lose all of your chips) you can "re-buy" into the tournament and continue to play (same as the original buy-in amount).
An add-on is usually offered at the first break, in which the re-buy period ends. Add-ons give those who are short stacked a chance to "top up" their chips
(generally the same as the original buy-in amount). Some tournaments have "double add-on" which will give you twice as many chips as the starting chip count,
but for the same cost of an original buy-in.
A freezeout tournament means there are no rebuys, once you lose all of your chips, you are out of the tournament.

Sit & Go Tournaments: Sit & Go's start as soon as the last of the defined number of players registers for the tournament. Keep your eye on the Lobby Game Console to find a Sit & Go that is right for you.
Free Rolls: Everyone's favorite tournament, because you can enter it for free, but the pay-out is real prizes and sometimes even money. Keep your eyes open to the Poker Room page, the Tournament Schedule page, and the Lobby in the game console for the latest Free Roll Tournaments.
Satellites: These are the tournaments that make dreams come true. In the strictest sense, these are the tournaments you need to win in order to qualify and earn your spot in a bigger tournament. Join our satellites and find your way to Las Vegas.
Single Table: A Single Table Tournament is always limited to one Table. Unless otherwise specified, a Single Table Tournament is limited to 10 Players, and the top three finishers receive payouts.
Multi-Table: Multi-Table Tournaments are tournaments where more than one Table is required to accommodate all the players. All the tables will start play simultaneously. Multi-Table are subject to the "Collapsible Rule" meaning that as the number of players at tables starts to dwindle down, players at some tables will be reassigned to other tables. This "reassigning" or "collapsing" will continue until the remaining surviving players meet at the final table.

Tournament Entry Fees and Buy-ins are clearly posted in the Tournament Lobby, and when registering.
