The current Level and Game are clearly displayed in the top right corner of the tournament's table screen. All players can easily see the exact stage of the tournament in which they are playing.
9. All heads up tournaments will start automatically once both players are seated.
10. At the start of the heads up tournaments, each player is dealt one card face up. The player receiving the highest card gets the dealer button for the first hand. A tying high card is broken by suits based on the following order: spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs.
11. The small blind will be the button and the first to act pre-flop. This rule is a standard heads-up (1-on-1) poker rule.
12. There will be no breaks. Poker tournaments continue straight through until one player has all the chips and is declared the winner.
13. GlobalSportsNetwork.com will not assist in any deals between players during poker tournaments. Heads up tournaments continue until there is one declared winner and the payoffs will be winner take all.
14. Players must understand and accept the risk of internet disconnections, as they can and do occur. If a player loses connection and does not re-establish connection or fails to act in the allotted time, his hand will be automatically folded and he will be posted and folded until such time as he is able to re-establish connection. Eventually, the player will be "blinded out" if he does not re-connect, and the tournament will be over. The only exception, is rule 15.
15. In a multi-table tournament, you'll be given more time to reconnect and when it expires, your think tank will engage if you have money invested in the pot. At expiry of time in the think tank, you will be folded, except in the case of the final table at which players will be given up to 240 seconds to re-establish connection prior to being folded.
16. During the tournament, if you are connected to the game server when it is your turn to act and you timeout by failing to act within the allowable 30 seconds, your hand will be FOLDED.
17. In the rare and unlikely event of a server problem, all tournaments in play will be deemed as cancelled. Once the server re-starts, we will refund the full Buy-In and entry fee of each one-on-one player.
18. GlobalSportsNetwork.com reserves the right to remove Railbird chat privileges for players if any abusive or harassing language is used.
19. Management decisions are final.

Good Luck and Enjoy the Poker Tournaments!
