Bounties:

This is a side competition. ($20 entry)  

Players may enter the Bounty side competition at any time AND while not in a hand.

Players will be provided a Bounty Chip which must remain visible to other players during play (left on the table).

Players with at least one bounty chip who lose all of their chips to another bounty chip holder must surrender ONE bounty chip to the winning player. Rebuys do not nullify this requirement.

Players in this side competition may resell their bounty chips to the tournament time keeper for 1/2 of their purchase price with the remainder going to the charity.  Players may also elect to keep the bounty chip(s) as a souvenir. 

Players name tags will NOT designate entry into this side competition.

Rebuys and Addons 

rebuy

Rebuys will be UNLIMITED until the dinner break at roughly 5pm.  This allows players to have a little fun without worrying about being kicked out of the tournament.  Players may purchase as many rebuys at a time without running out of chips prior. 

Rebuys are $20 for 5000 in chips for rounds 1 to 6.  During rounds 8 and 9 (just before the dinner break) players will receive 7,500 chips.

 Note: players who bust on the last hand prior to the dinner break are NOT required to purchase a rebuy and may move directly to the Fire Sale.  Player must announce to their table thier intention to remain in the tournament.

firesale

At the start of the dinner break will be the FIRE SALE.  Thsee are Add On chips that, like the rebuys, may be purchased in unlimited quantitiy.  Add On chips are $20 for 20,000 in chips (4X the original rebuys).

This year - for every 5 Add On's player will receive one extra.  Rephrased, for every $100 you spend you get $120 worth in chips.

Initial seating starts with 5,000 in chips but players may purchase "rebuys" in unlimited quantity at any time. (AKA you can chip up prior to start)
Rebuys: $20 = 5,000 until round 8, then 7,500 until dinner.  Add-ons (Firesale at Dinner): $20 = 20,000
