Bit of a n00bish question but I"m clueless here......
Is it possible to be eliminated from a tourney, having lost a colouring up chip race?
-
House Rules vary but in the unlikely event that this did happen...
TDA Rule 16...says "No"
16. Chip Race
When it is time to color-up chips, they will be raced off with a maximum of one chip going to any player. The chip race will always start in the No.1 seat. A player cannot be raced out of a tournament: a player who loses his or her remaining chip(s) in a chip race will be given one chip of the smallest denomination still in play. Players are encouraged to witness the chip race.
...but I had to look it up. :P
-
No.
I didn"t need to look it up.
:P
-
no, you cannot
-
depends how long you are at the bar in the break ::)

thanks guys
was running a few tourneys at school and the stupid little feckers kept blinding themselves down to <1BB and at risk in the colour up
I actually gave one chip to players allin in a colour up before the chip race started but then had 1 less prize for the chip race
was this correct?

I think there are bigger issues at hand than whether shortstacks could be eliminated during a chip race!!
Is poker on the curriculum now??? ;D
-
Offhand, I"d say you were wrong...I"d add an additional single chip for that player (assuming they didn"t win the chip race).
Overall, it won"t make a big difference to the remaining players.

Is this in the staffroom or classroom Rob?
(I assume you could refer to colleagues as stupid little feckers as well as the pupils :D)

It was "enterprise and business week" at school.
I ran poker tournaments as well as a few "other" things as well. The aim was to teach bankroll management and come up with a business plan for the "virtual" money they had at their disposal

Turning them into hard core gamblers was an added bonus
