If you earned $3,000 in chips but did not play in 5 tournaments then you will owe $10 per tournament for each one of the five you did not play in order to complete your final pot contribution for at least five tournaments.

The more you play and the better you do will increase your chip count. Additional chips may be given for RSVP, pot luck, etc.

There will not be an additional buy-in for the final tournament. The points/chips you earn throughout the year will be your chip count at the final table. If a player that earns the opportunity to be in the final tournament is not present then his/her chips will be in play until after the first break (after 5th blind structure), after which they will be removed from the table and the player will be considered eliminated from the tournament at that time.
12. A maximum of 30 players in the league. Please make sure that you can vouch for the new players you bring. Remember that you are bringing them to someone's house.

Please make sure to follow general poker rules and ethics when playing, including verbal commands for bets and raises, single chip calls, not talking about your hand while others are still playing the hand, not splashing the pot, not acting out of turn, and not showing your hand to anyone without showing the others at the table.
14. Players should not take more than one minute to act. If you take more than a minute then the clock will automatically start for an additional 30 seconds as determined by the dealer. At the end of that 30 seconds a decision must be made or the hand will be folded. An exception can be made in critical situations as determined by the host. Players remember that the clock is running on the blind structure when you are deciding. Please keep the game moving.
15. No smoking and no cussing. Please have respect as a guest at someone's house.
