Poker Tournaments Types     

Tournament types:

1. Single table tournaments:
   Single table tournament is conducted in one table and in it 9 players. Unlike multi table tournaments that have time schedules, here there is now time schedule and when a table is full with 9 players, the game starts (and of course another table is opened for other players). Like in every tournament each player pays the entering fees and gets an equal amount of chips. The game ends when one of the players wins all the possible chips on the table. In this tournament there are 3 winners: the first wins 50% of the chips total, the second wins 30% of the chips total, and the third wins 20% of the chips total. Of course that there is a variety of tournament levels, with entering range between 10 cents and 2000 dollars.
   
   To enter a single table tournament choose the single table sign at the tables menu in the lobby. Choose a open table with the entering fees suitable for you (double click on the wanted table), after the table is opened choose a chair. The moment all the seats are full – the tournament will open, if you regret before all the seats are full, you can leave without receiving a fine.
   
   
2. Multi table tournaments:
   Multi table tournaments are an example to how real tournaments are played and they are an exciting way to deal with other players and win prizes regularly. Every tournament has a date and starting hour, and all the players need to register in advance. You can register in advance to a tournament from the moment it's published and until 5 minutes from the tournament's start. When registering you will need to pay entering fee + registering commission (that is usually 10% off the entering fee). For example if you want to play 10$ in an unlimited tournament, the entering fee will be 10$ and 1$ registering fees. At start, every player has an equal number of chips and the players are divided randomly for the tables. The number of tables is set by the number of registered, for example if there are 450 players, 50 tables will be opened. At the tournament time, players will go out so that tables will be closed and reduced. To ensure that the tables are balanced (the rearrange of the tables is made randomly). Slowly the number of players and tables will be reduced down to one table (with 9 players in it). The prize in the tournament is set by the number of players in the tournament + amount of entering fees. For example if 450 people will enter a tournament that the entering fees in it are 10$, the total prize will be 4500$ and by the standard prize division the winner will earn 1200$ and the secondary winners 765$ (not bad for two hours game and 11$ invested). In Victor Chandler a large variety of tournaments (and single games) is offered every day and in a price range from 40 cents to 40$.
   
   
3. Fast tournaments:
   Fast tournaments offers you to double your money in half the time! A possibility to raise the blinds every 3 minutes so if you don't have enough time but you are looking for a fulfilling poker experience - this is the tournament for you. A large variety of single tournaments, multi table tournaments. All you have to do is search in the table's list for those that are marked as “fast”. The entrance to fast tournaments is made with the same process as to a regular one.
   
4. Satellite tournament:
   a satellite tournament can get you to a win large amounts of money. Every Saturday night Victor Chandler offers a big multi table tournament, that is out satellite final tournament and the amounts in it can get to thousands of dollars. In the satellite final you have 2 ways to catch a seat, you can pay and catch a seat (like in every tournament) or to qualify for it by one game from previous satellite tournament. Previous satellite tournaments are actually single table tournaments, where the game starts when 9 players are sitting in the table. But unlike a single table tournament, here only the winner gets the prize – entering ticket for the great satellite final tournament (and there is a possibility to win thousands of dollars). For example: assuming that there is a big satellite tournament (40 thousand dollars) on Saturday and the entering cost is 90$ registration + 9$ registering fees (total of 99$), you are interested in participating the tournament but 99$ is too much for you... you need to search tournament of single table that runs with the word “satellite” and that the entering fees for them is much lower, (11$ + 1.10$ registering fees). So if you win, you will get an entering ticket for the big satellite tournament.
   
5. Rebuy tournaments:
   The most annoying thing is to lose at the beginning of the tournament right? You are planning a nice and long poker game and suddenly before you understand what is going on, you make a mistake and lose the tournament. For that cases rebuy tournaments were invented. In a rebuy tournament, in case you lost all of your chips – you can win back a specified amount of chips back and so continue playing the tournament. For example you are playing a 5$ tournament and you started with 2000 chips, and suddenly you lost almost all of your chips and you want to continue playing - you can! Press no and you say good bye, press yes and 2000 more chips will be transferred to you before the next hand. Another example: you are playing in a 10$ tournament but your 2000 chips became suddenly only 800 chips – you can buy chips in case you are 50% down (less than 1000 chips in this case) from your original chip amount. All you need to do is press the small $ sign, pay 10 more dollars and watch your chip pile grow to 2800 chips. To enter a rebuy tournament, search tournaments with the word “Rebuy” on the multi table tournaments list and register to one of them.
   When can you make a rebuy? If it wasn't mentioned otherwise, you can make a rebuy every time during the first 3 stages of the tournament ( you can see the stage at the bottom of the screen + you can see how much time left for opening the next stage). If you are out of chips, you can make a rebuy when the pop up box appears, if your chip quantity will be less than 50 % of your original chip amount, you can, if you want to, to make a rebuy by pressing the small $ sign. Another thing you might be interested in – if it wasn't mentioned there is a possibility of addition; this option lets you buy more chips at the end of the rebuy round without considering how many chips you have. With this option you can ensure your place in the table for longer. Pay attention – the chips are transferred to you to the beginning of the next hand (after buying).
