Playing Tournament
To enter a tournament, select the "Tourney" or "Sit & Go" tab from the main lobby. If you select any tournament in these tabs, you will see information about this tournament in the details box at the right. Under the State column, look for a tournament which has a state of "Registering". The particulars of the tournament (game, structure and buy-in) are listed beside the state. Double-click on a tournament in "Registering" state and this opens the tournament lobby. Click the Register button, and log-in if you have not already done so. The software will confirm your registration. You may take your seat by selecting the "Take Seat" button. Check the tournament lobby for registration and seat times.
Tournament Lobby
Note that for all tournaments and multi-table satellites, players are all assigned random seats to start the tournament. This is a countermeasure designed to prevent collusion. As is customary in poker tournaments, seat changes are not allowed. The button in Hold 'em and Omaha tournaments will be assigned to a seat randomly.
As in a regular poker game, when it is your turn to act, you may check, bet, raise, call or fold (where applicable). When it is your turn to act and you are taking too long you receive a time warning in the chat window.
At any point during the tournament, players can check the tournament lobby for information about the tournament's progress. The lobby will show the current limit level for the tournament, information about players' stack sizes, and the breakdown of the prize pool.
Also in the tournament lobby is a player search function. The tournament lobby lists all players.
After the tournament, the winners will receive an e-mail which provides comprehensive information about the tournament. Anyone can request a tournament history at any time after the tournament's conclusion by going to the main lobby and selecting "Tournament History" from the Game-Request menu. Final tournament information for this tournament will remain in the tournament lobby for 24 hours from the start time of the tournament.
Specific prize money breakdown will be shown after the registration is closed.
Viewing a Tournament
A player in a tournament can observe any other table by double-clicking on that table in the tournament lobby's table list. Players who are not participants may also observe any table of a tournament.
