Tournament Payouts
Payout Structure
Terms and Definitions Add-onThe “Add-on” is the last opportunity a player has to buy additional chips in an attempt to better his/her chances to win a “Re-buy” & “Add-on” tournament. The Add-on is available for a limited period of time to players after the Re-buy period is over. The amount and time restriction can be found in the tournament lobby. Buy-inThe registration cost for a poker tournament is referred to as a “Buy-in”. The “Buy-in” is the amount each player must invest to enter a tournament. The Buy-in amount for each tournament can be found in the tournament lobby. Total Buy-ins from all registered players creates the total prize pool for that tournament. Players are allowed to unregister for a tournament up to a deadline found in the tournament lobby. FeeThe fee is the amount paid by the players to participate in the tournament. That is the amount paid to the site. Hand-For-HandIn the later stage of a tournament, when each position represents a substantial difference in prizes and there is more than one table remaining, the tournament may be played "hand-for-hand". This means that each table will play each hand at the same time until a player is eliminated. Table(s) may have to wait until all hands from the other table(s) are completed in order to start the next hand. Hand-for-Hand play may happen more than once during the same tournament. If two or more players are eliminated from a different table during "Hand-for-hand" play, they are considered to be eliminated in the same hand regardless if one of the hands finished earlier than the other. Chips stacks will be compared to determine the finishing order. Heads-upWhen a contest is between 2 players only, it is referred to as "Heads-up". Heads-up Shoot-out tournaments are a good way to improve your winning game, as you will end up facing one opponent most of the time to win any tournament. The rules are the same with "Heads-up" play with the exception that the player with the "dealer button" posts the small blind and will act first pre-flop then last for the remainder of the hand. The player who posts the big blind is dealt first. In the MoneyWhen a player has qualified for a prize in a tournament, it is called "In the Money". If a player is "In the Money" that means that he will win at least the minimum prize available for that tournament. PrizesThe total prize pool and number of players being paid is determined by the number of registered players in a tournament. The more players that enter a tournament, the larger the prize pool will be and ultimately the more players who will receive prizes. The number of players, prize pool and prize distribution can be found in the tournament lobby. All monies paid from all Buy-ins account for the prize pool for each tournament. Re-buyWhen a player qualifies to purchase another “Buy-in” during a tournament, it is called a "Re-buy". A Re-buy allows for a player to continue competing in a tournament. Re-buys are available in a Re-buy & Add-on tournament only. The number of Re-buys, time restriction, amount and conditions for Re-buys can be found in the tournament lobby. RoundA round is a term referred to in “Shoot-out” tournaments; it is like an individual “Freeze-out” tournament. Rounds have their own Level Structure and the winner(s) from each table per round advance to the next round. Cancellation Policy in the unlikely event that Everybody Plays has to cancel a scheduled tournament we will make all possible efforts to refund players as fairly as possible. Due to the varied scenarios that may be involved we have decided to simplify our policy to cover the three most likely scenarios: Cancellation prior to the start of a tournamentIf a tournament is cancelled prior to starting, all players will receive a refund of their full tournament registration fees. Tournament fees will be refunded in the exact manner that they were paid. (This may include any combination of cash, promotion points or Gold Cards). 50/50 Tournament PolicyIf a tournament in progress but with no players are yet in the money, is cancelled for any reason, we will try to compensate all remaining players based on their play up to the time of the interruption. This is best achieved by awarding 50% of the prize pool to all remaining players and the other 50% of the prize pool will be awarded proportionately based on each players chip count. All remaining players will also receive their entry fee. Any player who was eliminated prior to the interruption will not be entitled to a refund. All awards for tournament cancelled in progress will be cash. If the cancelled tournament has a guaranteed prize pool only the entry fee will be returned not the guaranteed prize. In the Money Tournament PolicyIf a tournament is cancelled and there are players in the money, we will try to compensate all remaining players based on their play up to the time of the interruption. This is best achieved by awarding each remaining player with the minimum prize not yet awarded and the rest of the prize pool will be awarded proportionately based on each players chip count. All remaining players will also receive their entry fee. Any player who was eliminated prior to the interruption will not be entitled to a refund. All awards for a tournament cancelled in progress will be cash. If the cancelled tournament has a guaranteed prize pool only the entry fee will be returned not the guaranteed prize.
