How To Choose and Join a Tournament

You can register to join any of our tournaments directly from the iPoker.net Lobby. Just login to your account and once you’ve entered the Lobby select the Tournaments tab. A list of available tournaments will be displayed. To join, highlight the desired tournament and click on the register button down below.

Note: Tournament registration begins 60 minutes before the start of the tournament and ends 20 seconds before the start of the tournament. If you try to register outside this time you will receive an error message and will not be registered.

You will be asked to choose your method of buy-in (either Cash or Tournament Points are your options). You’ll be prompted with a Thank-you screen once Tournament registration is complete.

It is important that you remain on site or comeback before the start of the tournament. If you do leave we recommend you return 5 minutes before the start to ensure you don’t miss the start.

Before your tournament commences you will be called to your seat. This can occur anywhere from 60 seconds to 10 minutes before the Tournament starts. On the site will appear a notification that a Tournament seat is available for your. You have the option to go to the table, unregister or join later.

If you change your mind you can unregister for a Tournament at anytime up to before the start of the Tournament. Simply go to the Tournament tab, highlight the Tournament you are registered in and select “unregister”.

Tournament Tools

At iPoker.net we feel that the more tournament information a player has before, during, and at the completion of a tournament, the better. With this in mind, we have located a tournament "TNT Info" button in the main lobby above the player registration list, and on the tournament table where it can be accessed during play. With the click of a button, a player can instantly view up to date tournament information that has never before been provided in as convenient or detailed a format! For the player’s convenience, we have divided the tournament information into 4 categories.

1. Time Remaining - The "Time Remaining" is a screen that displays a countdown in minutes to the next break, and a countdown in minutes to the end of the current round. Helpful when you want to know when you can take your next coffee break.

2. Details - The "Details" screen outlines details applicable to the specific tournament. The information here remains the same from the start to the end of the tournament.

3. Statistics - The "Statistics" screen is functional only while a tournament is in progress. It displays the current rankings of all remaining players in total chips order. It also provides a running total of the chips purchased through buy-ins and re-buys.

4. Prize Money - The "Prize Money" screen displays the distribution of the prize pool, tournament points, and other prizes. If the prize money distribution is based on a percentage of the pool, the amount of money will be continually increasing as the number of entries or the number of re-buys rise. If the prize money to be distributed is a "fixed amount", the payout amounts will be the same before, during, and after the completion of the tournament. If tournament points or other prizes are awarded, they too will remain constant from the tournament’s start to its finish.

Special Features and Formats

LET'S MAKE A DEAL

Most of our Tournaments now feature this exciting new option. A checkbox appears in the upper left hand corner of the table when there are 3 or less players left in the tournament. Once all 3 players check the box, the tourney is paused and the Pit Boss on duty is automatically paged while the players are in the midst of negotiations. If at any time, one or more of the players uncheck the box, the tourney will resume. If a deal is reached, the players will notify the Pit Boss on the terms of the agreement, uncheck "Let's Make a Deal" and raise it out to complete the tourney. The Pit Boss will then adjust the players' accounts manually.
