Tournaments

Our tournaments start at 6PM and run until about 9:30PM or maybe a bit later for the finals.

Tournaments are usually 7 point, single elimination, with an optional buy back. At Benowa Tavern and Mermaid Beach Tavern where entry is $10 with an optional $10 side pool. There is usually a Round Robin or $5 tournament as well depending on the number of players not wanting to join the $10 tournaments.

All players will need to have an extra $1 for the tin each night – this money goes towards club costs e.g. general expenses, trophies, marketing costs etc

If a player is eliminated, their side pool bet is over.  If they buy back into the tournament, they may buy back into the side pool as well.

Winner receives 70% of prize pool, runner up receives 30%.  Players in the final may negotiate their own division of money. The side pool goes to the player who has entered the side pool and advances furthest in the tournament. At Mermaid Beach Tavern, where there are multiple tournaments, the side pool remains in the bracket with the players i.e. it is not shared equally over all brackets.

All players are expected to abide by the rules and code of ethics.

These are general guidelines, if you are new it is probably best to use the contact form to confirm details.
