All players who text the business phone number (252-508-9114) will be given 25 starting chips; student players must text their name in order to enter the tournament
Only the 1st place winner will win a prize; the prize will not be awarded until 10pm and will only be awarded if the main practice (social) game has started with 4 or more people by 10pm
The prize awarded for the Free Tournament is personalized and determined by the amount of money the student is going to buy-in for the practice (social) game, up to $250
A student player can commit to buying in for the practice (social) game up to $250, and if the student player takes 1st place in the Free Tournament, they win the amount they committed to play for the practice (social) game, up to $250 , redeemable only after 10pm, and only redeemable if a social game has occurred with at least 4 participants before 10pm
In order to count as "committed", and thus be eligible for the Tournament prize, all buy-ins for the practice (social) game must be completed before the Free Tournament starts. If no amount is committed prior to the FPT entry, then $5 will be paid as the prize
If a student player commits to buying in for the practice (social) game but does not win 1st place, they do not lose any of their buy-in money; but they are still committed to playing with their pre determined buy-in chips for at least 30 minutes
If a student player wants to play the Tournament for free without committing to any buy-in to the practice (social) game, they can enter for free but they can win only the house minimum prize, which is $5 for first place
If a student player wants to play for free, the house minimum guaranteed prize is $5 for first place in the FPT
Each player can rebuy only one time for a $5 dealer appreciation fee (optional); the $5 rebuy gets the player 25 chips
There are no other add-ons or rebuys allowed
Tournament cannot start until at least 5 players are present - dealer cannot play and dealer is not counted toward the 5 players
Play starts at 8pm (or when there are 5 players) and unlimited new participants can be added until the tournament is three handed; except if a player(s) busts and this creates the final three, the busted player(s) may still re-buy if they have not done so already
Otherwise, one time re-buys are not allowed once there are only three players left
Blinds go up every 5 minutes and start at 1/2, then move up to 2/5, then 5/10, then 10/20 - doubling effectively every 5 minutes
The dealer cannot play or win the Free Tournament
Free Tournament will be canceled if it has not started by 8:45pm
