Early Bird Chip
Effective immediately (10/5/11), any player arriving 15 min before game time will receive $500 in extra chips.
Monthly Tournament Changes
The November Tournament (points starting on Nov 1) will have the Top 10. The Top 125 will be allowed to play in the Monthly Tournament. Alternates will no longer be allowed.
Starting Chips
Beginning June 1, the amount of chips a player starts with will go up to 1300.
Late entries
A player will be allowed to enter a game up to 20 minutes late, the first blind raise. If a player enters a game after the first hand has been dealt, they will start with 800 in chips. The player will still be eligible for the food chip up, once they have met the requirement for that chip up. (EX. Game begins at 4pm, a player may enter until 4:20. Game begins at 7:30pm, a player may enter until 7:50pm)
High Hand
The first person to get a hand that is K's full of 10's or better will receive an extra $500 chip. Everyone else sitting at the table will receive an extra $200 in chips. This will be adjusted according to blinds if no high hand has been won by the time final table has begun.
Purple Chip
Every player will receive a Purple Chip at the beginning of the game. When you take another player out, you get their Purple Chip. Once the final table is reached, the Purple Chip(s) will be worth $1000.
If at any point during the game your Purple Chip gets mixed into a pot and it is raked to the winner, you will not be able to get your Purple Chip(s) back. It is the responsibility of the player to keep track of their Purple Chip(s)
Free Chip Up
The point leader from the previous month will receive a free chip up at each show they attend. (This will occur once the points have been finalized, not later than the 5th of the next month).
More announcements to come.
