All players will begin with 5,000 in chips.
Blinds will begin at 100/200 and increase every 15 minutes.
A partial blind structure is posted above. HOWEVER, since we are required by state law to end the
tournament within a certain period of time, we reserve the right to change or alter the blinds at any point
in the tournament.
The tournament will have random seating. Players will randomly choose their seat by drawing a seat
assignment card at registration.
At the end of the 5th round, there will be a break. During this break, chips will be colored up and players
may add-on.
Tables will be balanced and condensed as needed throughout the course of the tournament at the sole
discretion of tournament director. We will make every attempt to keep tables at equal ratios throughout
the course of the night. When condensing tables, players may be moved to a different position at a new
table. For example, a player being moved from a table where s/he was the button, may be moved into a
position other than the button at the new table.
When only 9 players remain, play will stop and players will draw for seats at the final table.
All tournament participants must be 21 years of age or older.
Players who arrive late to the tournament will still be placed into the tournament with a full chip stack as
long as tournament is within the first five blind levels. Once tournament has completed the fifth blind
level, no additional players may join.
Chips will not be blinded out if there are open seats at the start of the tournament.
Rebuys and Add-ons

There are two types of Add-Ons: Instant Add-On & Final Add-On
o An Instant Add-On allows a player to add 5,000 in chips to his/her starting stack. This add-on
costs $100 and is only available prior to the first round of play at the start of the tournament.
o A Final Add-On allows a player to add 15,000 in chips to his/her stack. This add-on costs $100
and is only available to players who remain in the tournament before the first break takes place.
Final Add-Ons will take place during the first break.
There is only one type of Rebuy
o A Rebuy allows a player who has less than 2,500 in chips re-buy for $100 and receive an
additional 5,000 in chips. The rebuy period occurs during the first five blind levels of the
tournament. There are no limits to the number of Rebuys a person can make.
Players who have below 2,500 in chips at the start of the first break may rebuy for $100 AND add-on for
an additional $100. The player would receive an additional 20,000 chips for $200.
Prizes
Prizes will be awarded to all players at the final table. Once a player is knocked-out in a prize position, they
must complete a winner's form. Please note that the grand prize ($10,000 World Series of Poker Seat) is not
transferrable.
Final Say
The tournament director is responsible for enforcing all tournament rules. The tournament director may use
discretion when enforcing rules. All rulings deemed by the Tournament Director override the rules mentioned
above and are considered final.
