SIGN UP
枭 There is a roster list, “Master List”, generated before the first round.
No other participant can be allowed joining after the “Master List”
generated. To sign up, please email your name, nickname, which date you
could join the game, and the cell phone number, exclusively to me at
[email protected].
枭 The maximum players for each round is 20 (2 table), if more than 20, I
will take “first register, first serve” rule to decide who could play in
each round.

Q & A
枭 Why do we have 4 rounds?
Answer: This is to increase the excitement of the tournament. You can choose
to participate in some games and get good scores, or just play every game and
enjoy it.
枭 Why do we have different places?
Answer: This is to minimize the home court advantage and disadvantage. Some
people do have their home court advantage, and we hate to see that happens.
On the other hand, mysteriously some people have their “disadvantage” to
play at home, and it is certainly avoided under this setting to alter places.
枭 What does the winner get from each round?
Answer: Cash and points. The winner of each round gets 55% of half pot, and
the 2nd and 3rd get 30% and 15% of half pot.
枭 How many players will be playing?
Answer: Ideally I would like to recruit 10-15 players sign up. If we have
more than 15 at the end, there will be 2 groups and some minor changes in the
rules. More detail will be forwarded 3 days before the first round. Once the
master list generated, no more players will be allowed to join.
枭 How many players will be playing in a table each round?
Answer: Definitely equal or less than 10 players play in a table. If we have
more than 10 players in a round, players will be randomly distributed to two
groups and play until 10 players remained, and these 10 players will be
playing in a table together. Blinds doesn’t not affected by this setting.
枭 Do I need to bring money to each round? How much should I prepare?
Answer: Yes, but only the participating fee to that round. If you play in
every round, you need to have $160.
枭 Do I need to play in each round?
Answer: No, you do not. Your points will be calculated after 4 rounds of
competition. There is no reward to anyone who plays in every round and no
punishment to absentee. However, the more rounds you play, the more chance
you will get points and cash reward.

枭 Do I need to have a nickname?
Answer: Yes, you do. Please name yourself a good one to represent you. For
your reference, current ones used in those professional gamblers are East
Express (Johnny Chan), Professor (Howard Ledger), Jesus (Chris Ferguson),
Poison Ivey (Phil Ivey), and so on. .

枭 Multi-way tie break rules for entering final table:
In any case two players finished with the same score, the rank will be
decided by followings in order (starting from (1), then (2), (3)). Examples
will be attached below.

1. Score divided by the number of players involved in those rounds this
master has played. The lower ratio receives a higher rank.
EX:
Tom played in only a round, got 10 points from 5 players. Tom's ratio is 2.
Sylvia player in 2 rounds, got 10 points (5 from each round) competing with
total of 20 ppl.
Sylvia's ratio is 0.25.
Sylvia receives higher rank than Tom does since she got it a lot harder.

2. Average of the ranks of each round divided by players involved. The lower
ratio receives a higher rank.
EX:
Naomi didn't get any point. She finished 6th (with 12 players) and 6th (with
6 players). (6/12+6/6)/2=0.75
Jerry didn't get any point. He finished 10th (with 10 players) and 8th (with
12 players). (10/10+8/12)/2=0.875.
Naomi receives higher rank than Jerry does since her overall performance was
better.

3. Heads-up matches. Competes against each other till the only one left.
