Knockout Chips

Knockout Chips will be given out to every player at the start of the night. When you knock someone out of the tournament you get that one chip from them. The more chips you accumulate, the better. When you get knocked out, you only have to give up one chip.

When you have been knocked out of the main tournament, you take whatever KO Chips you have left over and give them to your tournament director so that you will get your points.

At the end of the season, players in the Main Event will be given a bonus amount of starting chips based on the amount of KO Chips they have accumulated over the season ($10 in tournament chips for each KO chip registered.)

BCAP Staff Bounties

BCAP Staff will now be participating in tournaments as well (not the tournament they are hosting, but they may be playing in a separate tournament alongside other regular players.) If you knockout a BCAP staff member from a Main Tournament, you will be awarded 100 points as a bounty for taking them out of the Main Tournament.

Sit-n-Go Games

The first players to be eliminated from the main tournament have the option to join in a one table 8 person Second Chance Sit-n-Go game. Up to three Sit-n-Go games will be played each night. You will not lose your regular tournament points (see below) by playing in a second chance tournament.

You may play in more than one Sit-n-Go game in a night.

You will get 100 points for each Sit-n-Go game you win.
You will get 60 points for each Sit-n-Go game you come in second.

Points won in Sit-n-Go games go towards the Second Chance Final (not towards regular season totals.)
See more on the Second Chance Final.

No Second Chance Sit-n-Go games will start after the second break.

Second Chance Tournaments will end the moment the main tournament ends. The first and second place winners will then be decided by chip count.

Seating

All tournaments will use the Tournament Director software and all seating will be randomly chosen by the TD Software. Tables will break down as players are eliminated from play.

Bonus Points

The top 16 players will get Bonus Points (BP) for making it that far. The BP prize pool can be viewed here.
