Time for the next Open Face Chinese Tournament at FTR!
The tournament will be held on Sunday, November 24 at 3:00 PM ET.
We expect the entire tournament to be finished by no later 6:00 PM ET on that day.
There is no buy-in, the following prize will be awarded:
1st Place: an FTR hat
The games will be played here: http://www.flopturnriver.com/chinese-poker/ (You must be logged into the forum to participate.)
This is a different format than the previous tournaments. Each round is timed, with each player's timer ticking ONLY during their turn, the same as a chess clock.
Each stage of the tournament will last no longer than 1 hour (probably closer to 45 minutes). This should provide plenty of time for breaks, as each match of 10 rounds is expected to take ~30 minutes.

- Once all matches are complete in any stage of the tournament the next stage will begin.
- All matches will last for 10 rounds. Whoever has the highest overall total points at the end of 10 rounds advances to the next round of the tournament.

All round 1 matches must be started between 3:00 PM and 3:30 PM ET on Sunday, November 24.
Round 1 will end no later than 4:00 PM ET that day.
If any matches are not completed in the allotted time, I will choose the winner of the match based on the following:
1) the player who is not absent wins
2) the player with the higher score wins
3) the player who last held the lead wins
4) the first to score a point wins
Round 2 will start immediately after Round 1, etc.
