  1. “Any person who is under the age of 18, or who has been issued with a Refusal of Entry order, or has self-excluded, or who falls into any category of excluded persons, is specifically prohibited from participating in the Tournament.
  2. By participating in a tournament, you agree to abide by the rules and behave in a courteous manner. A violator may be verbally warned, suspended from play for a specified length of time, or disqualified from the tournament. Chips from a disqualified participant will be removed from play. Players, whether in the hand or not, may not discuss the hands until the action is complete. Players are obligated to protect the other players in the tournament at all times. Discussing cards discarded or hand possibilities are not allowed. A penalty may be given for discussion of hands during the play.
  3. Standard Texas Hold m rules applicable
  4. Initial seating is determined by random draw or assignment. (For a one-table satellite event, cards to determine seating may be left face-up so the earlier entrants can pick their seat, since the button is assigned randomly.)
  5. A change of seat is not allowed after play starts, except as assigned by the director.
  6. The appropriate starting amount of chips will be placed on the table for each paid entrant at the beginning of the event, whether the person is present or not.
  7. If a paid entrant is absent at the start of an event the chips be left in place until arrival. If the player does not show the player will be blinded out.
  8. A starting stack of chips may be placed in a seat to accommodate late entrants (so all antes and blinds have been appropriately paid). An unsold seat will have such a stack removed at a time left to the discretion of the director.
  9. A no-show or absent player is always dealt a hand. That player’s stack will post chips for blinds and antes.
  10. In all tournament games using a dealer button, the starting position of the button is determined by the players drawing for the high card.
  11. Limits and blinds are raised at regularly scheduled intervals.
  12. If there is a signal designating the end of a betting level, the new limits apply on the next deal. (A deal begins with the first riffle of the shuffle.)
  13. The lowest denomination of chips in play will be removed from the table when it is no longer needed in the blind or ante structure. All lower denomination chips that are of sufficient quantity for a new chip will be changed directly. All odd chips will be changed to the new lowest chip still in play.
  14. A player must be present at the table to stop the action by calling “time.”
  15. A player must be at the table by the time all players have their complete starting hands in order to have a live hand for that deal. (The dealer has been instructed to kill the hands of all absent players immediately after dealing each player a starting hand.)
  16. As players are eliminated, tables are broken in a pre-set order, with players from the broken tables assigned to empty seats at other tables.
  17. In button games, if a player is needed to move from a table to balance tables, the player due for the big blind will be automatically selected to move, and will be given the earliest seat due for the big blind if more than one seat is open.
  18. New players to a table as a result of balancing tables are dealt in immediately unless they are in the small blind or button position, where they must wait until the button has passed to the player on their left.
  19. The number of players at each table will be kept reasonably balanced by the transfer of a player as needed. With more than six tables, table size will be kept within two players. With six tables or less, table size will be kept within one player.
  20. In all events, there is a redraw for seating when the field is reduced to one table.
  21. If a player lacks sufficient chips for a blind or a forced bet, the player is entitled to get action on whatever amount of money is left in his stack. A player who posts a short blind and wins does not need to make up the blind.
  22. A player who declares all in and loses the pot, then discovers that one or more chips were hidden, is not entitled to benefit from this. That player is eliminated from the tournament if the opponent had sufficient chips to cover the hidden ones (A re-buy is okay if allowable by the rules of that event). If another deal has not yet started, the director may rule the chips belong to the opponent who won that pot, if that obviously would have happened with the chips out in plain view. If the next deal has started, the discovered chips are removed from the tournament.
  23. All players must leave their seat immediately after being eliminated from an event.
  24. Showing cards from a live hand during the action injures the rights of other players still competing in an event, who wish to see contestants eliminated. A player in a multi handed pot may not show any cards during a deal. Heads-up, a player may not show any cards unless the event has only two remaining players, or is winner-take-all. If a player deliberately shows a card, the player may be penalized (but his hand will not be ruled dead). Verbally stating one’s hand during the play may be penalized.
  25. At pot-limit and no-limit play, the player must either use a verbal statement giving the amount of the raise or put chips into the pot in a single motion. Otherwise, it is a string bet.
  26. Non-tournament chips are not allowed on the table.
  27. Higher-denomination chips must be placed where they are easily visible to all other players.
  28. All tournament chips must remain visible on the table throughout the event. Chips taken off the table will be removed from the event, and a player doing this may be disqualified.
  29. Inappropriate behavior like throwing cards that go off the table may be punished with a penalty such as being dealt out for a length of time or number of hands. A severe infraction such as abusive or disruptive behavior may be punished by eviction from the tournament.
  30. The decks are changed only at the start of a new days play or if cards are damaged.
  31. The dealer button remains in position until the appropriate blinds are taken. Players must post all blinds every round. Because of this, last action may be given to the same player for two consecutive hands by the use of a “dead button.” [See “Section 16 – Explanations,” discussion #1, for more information on this rule.]
  32. In heads-up play with two blinds, the small blind is on the button. When play becomes heads-up, the player who had the big blind the most recently is given the button, and his opponent is given the big blind.
  33. If a player announces the intent to re-buy before cards are dealt, that player is playing behind and is obligated to make the re-buy.
  34. All hands will be turned face up whenever a player is all-in and betting action is complete.
  35. If multiple players go broke on the same hand, the player starting the hand with the larger amount of chips finishes in the higher place for prize money and any other award. Players eliminated on the same deal who start their final hand with an equal amount of chips receive equal prize money, with the best hand on that deal receiving any non-divisible award.
  36. Management is not required to rule on any private deals, side bets, or redistribution of the prize pool among finalists.
  37. Private agreements by remaining players in an event regarding distribution of the prize pool are not condoned. (However, if such an agreement is made, the director has the option of ensuring that it is carried out by paying those amounts.) Any private agreement that does not include one or more active competitors is improper by definition.
  38. A tournament event is expected to be played until completion. A private agreement that removes all prize money from being at stake in the competition is unethical.
  39. Management retains the right to cancel any event, or alter it in a manner fair to the players. The above clauses are severable from each other. Should any clause or part thereof be found to be unenforceable by operation of the law, such clause or part thereof will be severed, and the remaining clauses shall remain in force.
  40. All decisions are final and binding and no correspondence or appeals will be entered into.
  41. Copies of these rules are available at the Tsogo Rewards Desk upon request and at Silverstar.co.za.
