Added-Money Events:
A buy-in and fee are normally required to enter this type of
tournament. The overall prize pool is the sum of the designated "Added
Money" amount and the total amount of the buy-ins collected
(based on event participation).
Guaranteed-Money Events:
A buy-in and fee are required to enter this type of tournament.
The minimum prize amount is GUARANTEED. This means that if the
buy-ins total less than the guaranteed amount, the total prize
pool will equal the guaranteed amount. If the buy-ins exceed
the guaranteed amount, the higher total will be paid out.

Tournament Rules
- All tournaments will begin promptly at the scheduled time
specified in the tournament lobby.
- Seats are assigned at random. Seat changes are not permitted.
- At the beginning of a tournament, the position of the dealer
button is determined for each table by dealing one card face-up
to each player. The player who is dealt the highest card
is the dealer for the first hand. In the case of a tie, the
player who was dealt the first of the two high cards is awarded
the button.
- A tournament ends when one player accumulates all of the
chips in play. If the tournament is a satellite event, it
ends when all players have qualified for the target event
(i.e., if the tournament awards five seats, it will end when
there are five players remaining).
- If two or more players are eliminated in the same hand,
the players’ final positions are determined by who
had the largest number of chips at the start of the hand.
If the players started the hand with an identical number
of chips, they finish in a tie and any prizes are equally
distributed between them.
- World Poker Exchange uses the same procedure for blinds
in tournaments as in our ring games. We move the dealer button
after every hand and attempt to ensure that no player misses
posting his/her blinds. However, there are occasions on which
a player may hold the button twice consecutively, or on which
the button is at an empty seat. As these are basically random
occurrences, no player will receive any long-term advantage,
and this format is fair for all players.
- When two players remain, the button posts the small blind
and acts first in the opening round.
- Disconnects:
- By participating in a tournament, a player accepts the
risk of Internet disconnection due to problems with the
connection between his/her computer and the server, lag,
freezing, or other problems with the player's computer.
World Poker Exchange accepts no responsibility for player
disconnects, except in the case of a server crash.
- If a player times out during a hand, whether connected
or disconnected, his/her hand will be folded.
- If a player is not connected before a hand starts, he/she
will be dealt cards and his/her blind and/or ante will
be posted. There is no rule against choosing to sit out;
a player doing so will continue to have his/her blinds
and antes posted and cards dealt.
- Soft playing and chip dumping are grounds for disqualification
from a tournament. Any unethical play may result in termination
of the offender's account.
- In structured-limit tournaments, a bet and three raises
are permitted in each round. There is no raise cap in pot-limit
or no-limit tournaments.
- As players are eliminated from a tournament, our software
may move players to other tables in order to ensure that
all tables have as close to an equal number of active players
as possible. Such “balancing” of tables is done
randomly, and may in rare cases result in a player having
to post big blinds in consecutive hands. When 10 players
remain in a Texas Hold 'em or Omaha tournament, or eight
players remain in a Seven-Card Stud tournament, all players
are brought together at the final table.
- Prizes will be awarded as specified in the tournament lobby.
- In the event of a server crash, the hands in progress at
each table will be restored by rolling such hands back. Each
player's chip count will be reset to the amount at the beginning
of the hand. Under special circumstances, when it is impossible
to restart a tournament following a server crash, the tournament
will be cancelled and the unclaimed portion of the prize
pool will be equally divided among all remaining players.
- Players and observers are expected to use the chat feature
in a courteous manner.
- Regardless of whether they are involved in the hand, players
may not discuss a hand until the action is complete. Players
are obligated to protect the other players in the tournament
at all times. Discussing discarded cards or hand possibilities
is not allowed. A penalty may be imposed for discussing a
hand during play.
- During tournaments, we offer a 5 minute break every 60
minutes of play.
- For most tournaments, a player can unregister up to 10
minutes before the start of the tournament.
- In cases of disputes, the decisions of the management of
World Poker Exchange will be final.
The minimum number of registered players required for any
MTT to start is set at different levels. Please see schedule
below for Minimum number of Registrants required. If the minimum
number is not reached by the start of a tournament, the tournament
will be cancelled and the buy-in amount will not be deducted
from any player's account.

About the FPP Program:
The FPP program was established to reward our regular players
for their patronage. We do not suggest that players change their
playing habits to earn FPP’s; they are of greatest value
when earned naturally through regular play. The implementation
of FPP’s is intended to coincide with a number of promotional
giveaways. FPP’s earned will accumulate in your FPP account.
Your FPP balance can be viewed from the main lobby by selecting
the 'Account Info' tab. Your FPP's will be shown in the 'Details'
section. The points are yours to use for designated events, including
but not limited to selected tournaments, freeroll tournaments,
merchandise, sports wagers, and any additional uses offered by
World Poker Exchange.
Earning FPP's:
Players accumulate points by playing in raked ring games, single-table
tournaments, and multi-table tournaments that include a tournament
fee. Points are awarded as follows.
- For games with stakes of $2/$4 and above, and all PL & NL
games:
1 FPP for each raked pot of $1.00 or more
- For games with stakes of $1/$2 and under:
1 FPP for each raked pot of $.50 or more
- 5 FPP for each $1 in tournament entry fees (e.g., 10 FPP’s
would be earned for a $20+2 tournament)
* Note: In order to earn an FPP at the above levels, players
must be dealt into the hand and must have contributed to the
pot. No points are awarded for pre-flop folds.
World Poker Exchange reserves the right to alter the FPP program
at any time.
