RiverlineSchedule
Scheduled events are published from their templates and appear in the lobby with the buy-in, fee, starting stack, blind structure and start time. Registration opens as published and closes at the end of late registration.
The schedule is live in the tournament lobby at /lobby/tournaments: register there, leave before the start and take the whole entry back, and follow standings as the event runs.
Formats
Every format below is dealt by the same engine and settled through the same ledger as cash play.
- Sit & Go: a single table that starts when the seats fill.
- Multi-table: scheduled, with rising blinds, balancing across tables and a final table.
- Progressive knockout: half of each bounty you win goes to your balance, half onto your head.
- Mystery bounty: knockouts draw from a published prize table.
- Satellites: seats into larger events, paid as tickets.
Fees and prizes
A tournament entry shows the prize contribution and the fee separately before you register, and the fee it shows is the one you pay. The fee falls as the prize contribution rises, and heads-up events charge the lowest rate at every size; the whole schedule is on the rake and fees page. Prize pools are paid in the currency of the event — US dollars for real-money events — and payouts follow the published curve for the number of entries.
Breaks, disconnections and faults
Blinds rise on the published clock. If you disconnect, your stack is blinded off until you return. A tournament that cannot continue because of a fault on our side is settled under house rule 5.4, which is the only statement of that rule.
Tickets
Tickets from promotions and satellites are listed in the Bonus Center with the events they are valid for and when they expire. A ticket is redeemed at registration; an unused ticket returns to the Bonus Center if the event is cancelled.
