In a multi-table tournament, a large number of players sign up and play against each other in a series of games. A game in a multi- table tournament is as many hands as the participants can play in a predefined amount of time, so the game may end in mid-hand. After each game, the player receives table points according to their positions in the game, and the totals of these points are used to determine the winner of the tournament.
To participate in a multi-table tournament you click on to sign up for the tournament and pay the tournament fee. Some time before the tournament starts, the registration will close, and beyond that point, no further registration will be accepted.
When the tournament starts, you will automatically be placed at your first table, and the game will begin. It is important that you are logged in when the tournament starts, otherwise you will lose your place in the tournament and your entrance fee will be lost. After the time allocated for a game is over there is a short pause, and then you will automatically be seated at your next table, where you will meet new opponents in the following game.
This process continues until the pre-determined number of games have been played, and the tournament ends. After the tournament has finished, the final placements are shown in the tournament information tab.
After each game in a tournament, a total of 7 table points are distributed among the players according to their placement in the game. When the tournament ends, the players that has managed to accumulate the highest total number of points will receive the tournament prices according to their positions. In case of a tie in table points, the total number of “regular” points accumulated during all the games is the tie-breaker.
The table point distribution is done the following manner: the high scorer receives 4 table points; the second highest scorer receives 2 table points; the third highest receives 1 table point; and the fourth player receives 0 table points.
If two players’ scores are equal, they split table points between them. In case of a tie for highest score, both players receive 3 table points each, and the third and fourth player 1 and 0 table points respectively. In case of a tie for second-highest score, the first player receives 4 points, the tied players 1,5 points each, and the fourth player 0 points. In case of a tie for third-highest score, the first player receives 4,5 points, the second 2,5 points, and the tied players 0 points each – and so on in logical fashion, for the remaining possible cases.
The rules used in multi-table tournaments are the same as is used in sit-and-go tournaments, with the only exception being how a game is finished. A multi-table tournament game ends after a set amount of time, regardless of how many hands have been played, and what round the game is in. The last, interrupted hand of the game is ignored and is not included in the final scoring of the game.

If the player gets disconnected the player will automatically be deactivated. This means that you will sit out as long as you are disconnected. When a disconnected player’s connection is reinstated the player can continue to play.
If there is a cancellation of a tournament for any reason, we make a concerted effort to compensate players in the fairest and best way possible.
If a tournament is “rolled back” (meaning that the tournament has not started yet), any players that had already registered for the tournament will be refunded any fees and buy-ins.
If a tournament is cancelled after it has started it is called a “roll forward”. In such cases each player his is refunded his entry fee. The prize pool is distributed according to the following formula:
-
50% of the award pool is distributed evenly among all players
-
50% of the award pool is distributed proportionally according to the table points.
Money added to a tournament by the house, such as in free rolls or added tournaments, will not be paid to players if a tournament is cancelled.
If you have any questions or feedback regarding our cancelation policy please contact us via e-mail.
The payout structure in a tournament depends on the number of players. The larger the overall pool of money available for splitting, the more opportunities will exist for finishing “in the money” (i.e. with profit). The tournament is settled after finishing the tournament and the money will be paid out to each player. The payout structure can be seen in the tournament lobby in the client.
