Rankings & Prize Structure Explained

Poker tournaments ranking follows the “leaderboards” structure. This is how we calculate ranks:

Players keep getting eliminated from the tournament after each round.
Your rank will be calculated throughout the tournament based on your chips stack at that stage in the tournament.
The greater the chips stack, the better the rank.
Example: Player A with a 10,123 chips stack will rank higher than Player B with a stack of 10,122 chips.
Rankings will be updated at the end of each hand.
The hands for all the open tables will start at the same time as the tournament proceeds to the final table.
Your rank will be finalized and the corresponding prize (if any) will be awarded at the time of elimination. In case of a tie between 2 or more eliminated players, a specific set of rules will be used to calculate the prize.

Poker Tournaments Terminology

Ante: Mandatory bets that are put in by all the players before any cards are dealt, after which small and big blinds are placed are called Ante.
Blinds: Automatic bets placed by the players sitting on the blinds positions (Big Blind & Small Blind).
Breaks: The regular intervals at which players take a rest during a tournament are referred to as breaks.
Buy-in: The currency required for participation is referred to as buy-in.
*Please note that this buy-in is different from other cash games since it is fixed and does not require a minimum and maximum buy-in.
Entries: The total number of players that have registered in the tournament.
GTD Tournaments: GTD stands for ‘Guaranteed.’ These tournaments have a guaranteed prize pool, irrespective of participation.
Paid ranks: The total number of ranks which will be given a share of the prize pool are called paid ranks. Different tournaments will have different numbers of paid ranks.
Prize pool: Total amount of money that will be disbursed at the end of the tournament is called the prize pool.
