1. Floor people are to consider the best interest of the game and fairness as the top priority in the decision-making process. Unusual circumstances can, on occasion, dictate that the technical interpretation of the rules be ignored in the interest of fairness. The floor person's decision is final. Should the need arise for the duration of blind levels to be increased then the floor person has the authority to do so. Blind levels for the final table will be decided prior to final table action commencing.

2. Odd chips: In the event of a split pot, the odd chip(s) will go to the high hand. In flop games, when there are two or more high hands or two or more low hands, the odd chip(s) will go to the left of the button. Side pots: Each side pot will be split as a separate pot. They will not be mixed together before they are split.

3. Dead Button: Tournament play will use a dead button.

4. Players will be moved from the big blind to the worst position or the same position on the next table.  Players going from a broken table to fill in seats assume the rights and responsibilities of the position.  They can get the big blind, the small blind, or the button.  The only place they cannot get a hand is between the small blind and the button.  A player moved to balance the tables will take the worst position.  A dead button situation may occur

5. A player must be at the table by the time all players have complete hands in order to have his hand live. Players must be at the table to call time.

6. All cards will be turned face up once a player is all in and all action is complete.

7. If a player puts in a raise of 50 percent or more of the previous bet, he will be required to make a full raise. The raise will be exactly the minimum raise allowed.

8. An oversized chip before the flop is a call; after the flop, an oversized chip by the initial bettor put in the pot will constitute the size of the bet. If a player states raise and throws in an oversized chip, the raise will be the maximum amount allowable up to the size of that chip.

9. The one-player-to-a-hand rule will be enforced.

10. Tournament and satellite seats will be randomly assigned by draw.

22. Players are obligated to protect the other players in the tournament at all times. Discussing cards discarded or hand possibilities are not allowed.

23. When raising, a player must either put the amount of the raise out in one motion or state the raise amount. By stating the word raise, a player protects his right to raise, but the raise must be made in one additional motion unless he states the amount.

24. Verbally disclosing the contents of your hand or advising a player how to play a hand may result in a penalty.
