Tournament Rules
Tournament rules differ from those in normal ring games in several ways:

If you fail to respond, or suffer a disconnection, there is no All-in protection
You may not sit out a hand. You may, however, mark yourself as Away From Table.
If you time out due to a lost connection, or fail to respond when it's your turn, you will automatically be marked as Away From Table.
If you are Away From Table, blinds are paid as appropriate and your hand is folded. When you come back, make sure that you uncheck the Left Table box.
Single Table Tournament Rules
As soon as the table is full, the game begins. These tables are fill and go games.
There are no break periods.
You may leave the table any time prior to the start of the tournament without penalty.
Seating position is your choice. You may choose any open seat, and you will remain in this seat for the remainder of the tournament.
Multi Table Tournament Rules
You should note the following other important differences with Satellite Tournaments:
Only first place in the STT Satellite qualifiers gets a prize; a seat in the MTT final.
If you play and win more than one STT Satellite qualifier, you win the cash value of the seat if you already have a seat in the Final.
You may register directly in the MTT Final, paying the full seat price.
If you have a seat in the MTT Final that you won, you may not unregister to take the cash value. If you directly purchased the seat in the Final, you may unregister and receive a refund for the buy-in and fee prior to the start of the MTT Final.
STT Satellite qualifiers will not begin within 2 hours of the Final. Anyone seated at an STT Satellite qualifier that has not started before the 2 hour cutoff will receive a refund and the STT will be cancelled.
You may purchase a seat in the MTT Final up until 2 hours (120 minutes) before the start of the MTT Final.
