Poker Squads Live Schedule

Poker Squads Live Teams

DAY 1  – STTs will have all 4 players from every team each compete in Round 1 and Rounsd 2 STTs (no tagging), with Round 3 having 2 players per team compete with tagging allowed at any time when not involved in a hand.

Points will be scored by team players’ finishing positions in each round of STTs as follows

Day 1 STT Points Scoring

1st = 15 pts
2nd = 12 pts
3rd = 10 pts
4th = 8 pts
5th = 6 pts
6th = 4 pts
7th = 2 pts
8th = 1 pt

and the top 3 scores for each team from Rounds 1 and 2, and both scores from Round 3, will be combined to identify the Top 25 teams at the end of Day 1 on Saturday, with those teams progressing onto Day 2 on Sunday. 

Day 1 Round 3 STT TAG will have 2 players compete from each team, and team members may tag between hands – the PLAYER AT THE TABLE will have the final say on whether a tag takes place or not.

The Day 1 Leaderboard to qualify the Top 25 teams into Day 2 will award a ‘starting stack for team members’ for the Day 2 FT Qualifying Round as follows::

LB 1st – 15k stack for each member in their STT
LB 2nd – 14k stack for each member in their STT
LB 3rd – 13k stack for each member in their STT
LB 4th – 12k stack for each member in their STT
LB 5th – 11k stack for each member in their STT
LB 6th – 25th 10k stack for each member in their STT

DAY 2 – FINAL TABLE QUALIFYING ROUND will have all 4 players, from every Day 2 QUALIFYING TEAM, each compete in an STT (no tagging) – 10 x 10-handed STTs.   The WINNER (only) of each STT will qualify their team for a 20k starting stack on the Final Table. 

DAY 2 – FINAL TABLE if any team qualifies more than 1 player for the Final Table, then that team will start the Final Table with their team player/representative at the Final Table having a multiple stack (20k for each FT qualified player) – meaning Final Table Qualifying Teams will NOT have multiple PLAYERS on the Final Table, but may start the Final Table with Multiple STARTING STACKS (NB – this means that the Final Table may have LESS than the maximum 10 teams/players possible). 

Team members may tag between hands – the TEAM CAPTAIN will have the final say on whether a tag takes place or not (in the absence of the Team Captain then the player at the table will have the final say).

Each team on the Final Table will have 2 ‘time out’ cards which the player sitting (and ONLY the player sitting) may exercise at any time whilst in a hand AND THE ACTION IS ON THEM – they will each be for 1 minute during which the seated player may consult with his other team members (both may be used during the same timeout to extend the discussion time to 2 minutes). 

PRIZES

The PRIZE FUND of £x (tbc) will be awarded to the Final Table TEAMS (62.5% tbc) plus each winning STT TEAM from each STT in all 3 rounds on Day 1 (12.5% x 3 = 37.5% tbc)

Each STT winner will draw a ‘team mystery prize‘ immediately on completion of each STT in all 3 rounds on Day 1

*Day 1 12:00 Poker Squads Round 1 – NLHE Timed STTs (20k stack on 15/20 min clock)

This STT will end after L11/14:45 at the latest with positions / points awarded based on chip count.

**Day 1* 15:00 Poker Squads Round 2 – *NLHE Survivor Shootout STTs (20k stack on 25 min clock)

This STT will end after L7/17:55 at the latest with positions / points awarded based on chip count.

Each STT will automatically eliminate the shortest stacked player at the table at the end of every level IF the STT has not already lost its ‘quota’ of players – eg, at the end of level 2 if the table has already lost 2 players then a player would NOT be eliminated.

So, if at the end of each of the following levels the ‘quota’ of lost players has NOT already been reached then the lowest stacked players will be eliminated at that time:

End Level 1  – 1 player eliminated
End Level 2 – 2 players eliminated
End Level 3 – 3 players eliminated
End Level 4 – 4 players eliminated
End Level 5 – 5 players eliminated
End Level 6 – 6 players eliminated
End Level 7 – 7 players eliminated

No antes will be in play.  Players CANNOT ask for a ‘count’ of another player’s stack – ‘dirty stacks’ are not allowed and chips are to be stacked in same colours/values and in acceptable sizes (eg 100 chip x 20 = 2k stack – to aid players to count stacks themselves) – vigilance throughout the STT is key!  These measures are put in place to ensure nobody ‘time wastes’ with the aim to slow play to get another player eliminated.  With ‘automatic eliminations’ at the end of levels, each STT will complete at 17:55 hours at the latest (or before if players ‘naturally bust’).  Players may be issued penalties during this STT if it is considered that they are deliberately time wasting, which may include sitting out of the action, or loss of chips as a penalty.
