NEW RE-ENTRY TOURNAMENT POLICY
Our valued venue owners greatly appreciate RPL's unique Re-entry Satelite Tournaments because it has proven to increase food and drink sales for them. Some of our players also appreciate this unique tournament, especially on those nights where you travel out to a bar really looking forward to playing poker, and then get eliminated from the game due to a bad beat, and yet you still feel like playing poker!
We realize that this unique Re-Entry Tournament needs to have a more defined policy so that we can be consistent on how we administer the player who gets re-entered, so here goes -
1. Re-Entry Satelite Tournaments will be available on all games where at least 20 players are registered for the main event (nightly games, Mega Tournaments, etc.).
2. The player who gets re-entered must come into the game at the position directly to the right of the player who is short-stacked at the final table.
3. The player who gets re-entered must come into the game with the exact number of chips as the short stacked. Then, the Tournament Director shall give all other 9 remaining players 5,000 extra chips, and this does not include the re-entered player.
4. For the sign out sheet for that night, there will be 2 players who share the #10 position, then all other players sign out in the proper order from 9 through 1.
