USOP Da Nang 2023 Tournament Rules

All the events will follow the Big Blind Ante format. It is also worth noting that a shot clock (30 seconds timer) will be used throughout the tournament, with 20 seconds on the clock for the Hyper events.

If a player fails to act before the shot clock expires with no time bank cards to use, the hand will be forfeited. The time bank cards are non-transferable and should be visible on the table during the course of the event. Remember the shot clock will be paused if the dealer needs to count chips with multiple denominations.

Players can grind in all the starting day flights during the tournament series for applicable events. Participants with multiple re-entries are allowed before late registration. It is also worth noting that these players will be handed a full starting stack.

However, these stacks will be blinded-off once all the players are allotted their seats. These players who have qualified via multiple stacks can only take their biggest stack forward with the other stack being forfeited.

USOP will keep 3% of the prize pool to cover the staff members’ costs. Prizes above VND 10,000,000 are subject to a 10% government tax. The management reserves the right to cancel the total guaranteed prize pool owing to natural calamities, like earthquakes, flooding, typhoons, etc.

The management can also alter/ change the tournament schedule. The tournament director’s decision is deemed to be final and cannot be challenged by any participant.
