Why do tables go short-handed when there are fewer than 30 players remaining?
In order to maintain the fast pace of play during a Rush Poker* Tournament, tables will begin playing short-handed once there are 28 or fewer players remaining. Here is the short-handed table structure for a standard nine-handed Rush Poker* Tournament: • 22 to 28 players remaining = eight-handed tables • 19 to 21 players remaining = seven-handed tables • 16 to 18 players remaining = six-handed tables • 13 to 15 players remaining = five-handed tables • 10 to 12 players remaining = four-handed tables Rush Poker* Tournaments that start with six-handed tables will follow the same structure as above once there are less than 16 players remaining. When there are seven to nine players remaining, tables will become three-handed. Rush Poker* Tournaments that start with eight-handed tables will follow the same structure as above once there are less than 22 players remaining. When there are nine players remaining, tables will become three-handed.
