Cancellation Policy
If a tournament is cancelled before it starts, all players who have registered will be refunded their buy-in and fee for that tournament.
If a tournament is cancelled after it has started, but before the outcome has been decided, (e.g. due to a technical failure) Players who were already disqualified before cancellation will lose their buy in and entry fees, as usual. For those players still in the tournament at the time of cancellation:
- After tournament start and before all players are in the prize money: Those players still in the tournament at the end of the last hand will receive their buy in and fee for that tournament. Then, they will be given equal shares of 50% of the entire prize pool (minus refunded buy-ins), and the remaining 50% will be distributed according to players' chip count.
- After tournament start and when all players are in the prize money: All players will get the next prize to be handed out - for example, if there are 32 players left when the tournament is cancelled, then everyone effectively gets the "32nd-place" prize. Then, the remainder of the prize money will be distributed according to players' chip count.

Late Registration
In some tournaments, it is possible to register after the tournament has started. The level that late registration is available until is set by the tournament director. In any case, late registrations is available until the level stated or until the number of players still in the tournament has been reduced to the number of paid places PLUS 3. For example: If a particular tournament pays out to 50 places and the number of players in the tournament reaches 53 before the level stated has been reached, then - from that point forward – late registration is no longer possible.

Re-buys / Add-on
In some tournaments, it is possible to make re-buys / add-on - this means to buy additional chips to keep your chip count higher. The level the re-buys are available and the number of possible re-buys (from 1 to 'unlimited') is set by the tournament director. An add-on may be made once during the first break.

Limits and Blinds
Limits and blinds will be increased during the tournament according to a pre-fixed time limit, which is decided by the tournament director. View betting limit structures for tournaments. LIMIT STRUCTURES.

Seating
Seating arrangements are random. At single table tournaments players can choose their own seats. The dealer button placement is determined when the game starts. A change of seat during the tournament is not possible, except at tables breaking down.
Players will be moved to different tables, as tables break down. A player who is farthest from the blind will be seated at their new table in a similar position. Upon moving to the final table, everyone will be randomly reseated and then the dealer is chosen at random.
A player who is placed between the dealer button and the big blind after being moved must wait one hand before being dealt in.
