Rules

1.  Poker Nights is a poker tournament company hosting free poker tournaments at local bars, restaurants, and night clubs. Poker Nights, and all of its associates, are the official judge, referee and/or moderator, and host of any and all Poker Nights poker tournaments. If questions arise during tournament play, the final decisions to resolve these questions will be left with Poker Nights and its associates.  

2.  Players will receive 2,000 in starting poker chips at nightly Poker Nights events.  Players that arrive within 30 minutes of the signup time will receive an "Early Chip" to be given to the dealer at the start of the tournament in exchange for 500 extra starting chips. Players that arrive within 30 minutes after the game has started will be allowed to play, however their starting chip stack will only be 1,500. Players that arrive later than 60 minutes into the tournament will not be allowed to play in the main game, but are welcome to sign-up for any of the night's consolation games.

**Remember, if all players arrive on time, we are able to open the appropriate number of tables to accommodate everyone. This virtually eliminates wait times to get into the main tournament, but more importantly, if you go out, it greatly reduces the wait to get into a consolation game. Arrive on time...play more poker...tell your friends to do the same!
