WEEKLY RULES REVIEW!
This week we are going over a rule addition regarding chip color-ups, reviewing TDA Rule 1 25B. Check the link below for full details.
MPL Rules & Tournament Information:
Rule 4)f)iv):
Dealers and Tournaments Hosts have the right to and responsibility to color-up, race off players’ chips. In order to do this, they must touch the players chips and have complete autonomy to do so whether the player is present or not. If a player is colored up when the player is not present, the colored up chips will be left out front of the player’s stack.
2024 TDA Rules:
1: Floor Decisions
The best interest of the game and fairness are top priorities in decision-making. Unusual circumstances occasionally dictate that common-sense decisions in the interest of fairness take priority over technical rules. Floor decisions are final.
25B: Cards and Chips Kept Visible, Countable, and Manageable. Discretionary Color-Ups
TDs control the number and denominations of chips in play and may color up one or more players at their discretion at any time. Discretionary color ups are to be announced.
As always, have fun enjoy the game and be respectful of your fellow players! You can check out all the rules and guidelines here:
The Tournament Dealer Association (TDA) rules will apply in most cases. Please keep in mind TDA is a guideline for poker rooms to use and always respect rule #1 which states the following: “The best interest of the game and fairness are top priorities in decision-making. Unusual circumstances occasionally dictate that common sense decisions in the interest of fairness take priority over technical rules. Floor decisions are final.” To further familiarize yourself with the TDA Rules please visit: https://www.pokertda.com/poker-tda-rules/
