Full Tilt Poker Tournament Rules

A "Tournament" is a contest in which all players start with an equal amount of
chips. Blinds/antes are raised consistently throughout the tournament and
play will continue until one player accumulates all the chips. Prizes will be
awarded based on order of finish.

Sit'n'Gos are small tournaments that begin as soon as they are fully
subscribed.

Registration for multi-table tournaments is open until the tournament's posted
starting time. Once a tournament is fully subscribed, registration will still
remain open until the stated start time for the tournament, but no new
entrants will be allowed unless one or more entrants unregister from the
tournament.

Registration in a tournament signifies a player's acceptance of the risks of
internet disconnection, lags, or slowdowns. Full Tilt Poker does not accept
any responsibility for a player disconnect except in the case of a server crash.

All scheduled tournaments will begin seating promptly at the time stated in the
Tournament Lobby. All Sit'n'Gos will begin as soon as they are fully
subscribed.

Refunds for tournaments are given to players only if they unregister prior to
the tournament starting, and will be automatically credited to players'
accounts. Players may unregister for a tournament until it begins seating.

Unless noted for a specific promotion, all players will begin with the same chip
amount. Generally, players begin with 1500 in chips.

Players who earn their registration into a tournament through a satellite are
not permitted to unregister. If a player cannot participate in the tournament to
which they have won an entry, they will forfeit their entry and may not have
the tournament buy-in credited to their Full Tilt Poker player account.

Seats are assigned at random. Seat changes are not permitted. The button
will be positioned to the right of Seat 1 to start play.

During the tournament, information such as: biggest stack, smallest stack,
average stack, next level, and next break can be found by clicking
Tournament Info in the tournament lobby, or Info at the table.

There will be a single 5 minute break after one hour in Sit'n'Go tournaments.
In Multi-Table Poker Tournaments, a 5-minute break is taken every hour.

Prizes will be awarded as stated in the Tournament Info box which can be
found in the Tournament Lobby. These awards are subject to change until
registration closes and may vary as the number of entrants changes. General
payout information is available in the Payout Structures section of the Web
site.

Full Tilt Poker offers players the opportunity to earn a Bust-Out Bounty on
any red pro playing in a scheduled real money tournament. These bounties
do not apply to red pros playing in S&G tournaments. Players who bust a red
pro from a tournament will receive a bounty matching their tournament buy-in,
not including the tournament fee, up to $200. Players in tournaments with
buy-ins of more than $200 will receive a bounty of $200 for any pro they bust.
In the rare case when multiple players split a pot where a red pro busts, any
player who wins a piece of the highest pot the pro was involved in will receive
a full bounty for busting the red pro. If play in a qualifier tournament continues
after all of the top prizes have been earned, a player will no longer be allowed
to collect a bounty on any red pros that remain. For example, if a tournament
offers World Series of Poker Main Event seats to the top five finishers, and a
red pro is one of the last five players in the game, there will be no bounty
awarded if he or she is busted from the game.

Full Tilt Poker reserves the right to change the guaranteed prize pool or
payout structure without notice.

The prize pool payouts for all poker tournaments will be exactly as described
in the Payout Schedule. Any and all deals made between the players will be
the responsibility of those players only. No assistance will be given in making
deals or completing any subsequent transactions.

When a Player loses all of his/her chips, they are eliminated from play, and
any prizes are immediately credited to the player's account.

Players are obligated to take their Blinds and/or pay their antes.

In games with blinds, the big blind will always advance clockwise to the next
player at the table. The small blind will be given to the seat of the player who
paid the previous big blind. If the player in the big blind is eliminated and no
player is brought in to replace him/her, there may be no small blind on the
next hand. The button will normally progress to the seat that was the previous
small blind. When a game goes from more than two handed into heads up
play, the movement of the small blind and button may be altered by rule 17.

When two players remain in the tournament, the player due to receive the big
blind will do so and the player in the small blind position will inherit the button.

As players are eliminated from the tournament, tables may be rebalanced to
ensure all tables have an equal number of active players (or as close as
possible). Players can be moved to any seat and must assume the
responsibilities of that seat, which may mean taking the small blind, big blind,
or button. On rare occasions a player may be required to miss a hand if they
are re-seated between the button and the small blind.

When there are more than 6 tables left in the tournament, a table may be held
up at the end of a hand if it has 3 or fewer players than the most full table in
the tournament. If there are 6 or fewer tables remaining in the tournament, a
table may be held up at the end of a hand if it has 2 or more fewer players
than the most full table. The table will be allowed to start a new hand once the
imbalance in players is corrected (either by bringing more players to the held
table, or if players are eliminated or removed from the most full table(s)).

If there is a split pot, not equally divisible by the number of players in the
hand, the 'extra' chips will be awarded to the player closest to the left of the
button.

In limit tournaments bets are limited to 4 during each betting round, the initial
bet plus 3 raises. This is true regardless of the number of players remaining
in the tournament.

In Pot Limit and/or No Limit tournaments, there are no limits on the number of
raises.

If two or more players are eliminated on the same hand, the player with more
chips at the beginning of the hand is placed higher. If players started the
hands with an identical amount of chips, both players tie for that rank, and
any prizes due to those players will be equally distributed between them. In
rare cases, two players may be eliminated at the same exact time at two
different tables. In such a case, the players will be treated as if they were
eliminated on the same hand.

Hand-for-hand dealing may be enacted during any tournament. This renders
the practice of playing slowly useless. Hand-for-hand play is generally
implemented as players approach the money, and as players approach the
final table. During hand for hand play, all tables will be considered to be on
the same hand until they all complete their hand in progress. Therefore,
players eliminated at different tables may be considered to have been
eliminated on the same hand.

Players who do not act on their hand in time, whether connected or
disconnected, will be check-folded. If your computer disconnects in the middle
of a hand, your hand will be check-folded unless you return to the hand
before you time out. Players who lose connection during an event will be
blinded off until such a time they can rejoin their tournament.

Soft playing or chip dumping is not allowed. Any unethical play may result in
the termination of the offender's account and/or forfeiture of any prizes.

Players and observers may not discuss a hand 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 is not allowed.

In the event of a server crash, the hands in progress at every table will be
restored by rolling back these hands. Each player's chip count will be reset to
the amount at the beginning of the hand.

Occasionally, due to technical difficulties, a tournament may be cancelled.
Depending on the tournament's status at the time of this cancellation, Full Tilt
Poker will do the following:

If a tournament is voided before it starts - Players will have their buy-ins and
fees returned in the same currency they used to enter the tournament (real
money, tokens, etc.), unless they entered the tournament through a satellite,
in which case they will be refunded the standard buy-in for the tournament.
If the tournament had not yet reached the money - All players still in the
tournament at the time of the cancellation will be refunded their tournament
buy-in and tournament fee. Players will have their buy-ins refunded in the
same currency they used to enter the tournament (real money, tokens, etc.),
unless they earned their entry through a satellite, in which case, they will be
refunded the standard buy-in for the tournament. In addition, the buy-ins of
players already eliminated from the tournament will be divided up and
distributed to the remaining players, based on their chip counts. Guarantees
and money added to the prize pool will not be included in the player payouts.
If the tournament had reached the money - All players still in the tournament
at the time of the cancellation will be awarded with the next guaranteed payout
and have their tournament fee returned. In addition, the remaining prize pool
will be distributed amongst the surviving players based on their chip counts.
If a tournament awards a non-monetary prize, such as World Series of Poker
prize package, Full Tilt Poker will assign a monetary value to the prize, and
distribute the cash value to the remaining players, based on their chip counts.
If all remaining players have each won the first-place prize at the time of
cancellation (e.g., the remaining players have each already secured a WSOP
prize package), they will each keep their prizes.
