Tournament Types
There's no better venue for a massive range of poker tournaments with great prizes than Noble Poker, with buy-ins from $0.10 - $5000, as well as frequent freerolls and guaranteed prize tournaments running 24/7! All tournaments are professionally managed and monitored from start to finish, along with dedicated supervision, a helpful online support team, and groundbreaking anti-collusion systems to protect players.
Noble Poker offers its players three types of poker tournaments:
Multi-Table Tournaments
Join by clicking “register” on the tournament of your choice. When the tournament starts, your table will automatically open. If you're already playing on the maximum number of tables, you'll be presented with a dialog box asking you whether you'd like to quit one of the tables in order to join the tournament. You will be marked 'away from the table' until you join the tournament table.
Blinds increase at regular intervals as the tournament progresses and are termed 'levels'. Unlike cash games, blinds must be posted and cannot be missed. This is done automatically. To make it fair for everyone a "dead" button is sometimes used to achieve this.
As the tournament progresses and the number of players dwindles, tables are closed; consequently, remaining players at almost-empty tables are reseated. Once players lose all their chips, they are automatically removed from the table, unless a 'Buy In' facility is available. ‘Re-buy' and ‘Add-on’ tournaments provide the facility to purchase chips for a limited time.
Single Table Tournaments (STT's)
A single-table tournament is a tournament played at one table seating up to ten players. These are run on a sit-and-go basis. As players register, the seats fill up and as soon as a table is full, the tournament starts. There is no break period - once started these tournaments continue until the very end.
In STT's three prizes are paid:
Wide ranges of buy-in stakes are offered and these can be seen by checking the tournament details in the lobby.
Satellite Tournaments
“Satellites” are also known as "qualifier" tournaments - taking first place in one of them usually guarantees a place in a larger or more prestigious tournament. Both single table tournaments and multi-table tournaments can serve as qualifiers. A Super Satellite is the final level in a Satellite structure that awards a seat to the main event.
Disconnections
If for any reason a player loses his/her connection, he will remain in the game. Blinds and antes will continue to be posted automatically, and the player should log back on as soon as possible to continue playing. Players will be blinded/anted out of the tournament if they do not reconnect.
Players MUST accept the risk of disconnection. This can and does occur. (Log back on and continue to play as quickly as possible.) At no time will we assume responsibility for disconnected players regardless of cause. If a player is disconnected during the play of a hand, they will be given a period of 30 seconds during which they can reconnect. If the player is unable to do so, their hand is folded - unless they are "all in". If you choose to sit out, you are deemed 'away from the table' and will still receive cards that will be folded in turn. Blinds will also continue to be taken when appropriate. If you time-out or disconnect, you will be automatically marked 'away from the table' until you uncheck the appropriate box and re-join the game.
