There will be a rotation marker used to determine the start of each hand. The initial starting position will be determined by dealing a card to each person prior to the start of the competition in order from left to right and the highest card is where the first hand will begin. If the same value cards are dealt, first out of the shoe is highest. The position in which the marker sits at the beginning of each hand must place their bets first and betting will be made in a clockwise direction. A player may elect to go out of turn by their own choice, but when a bet is placed into the betting area, the player may not change or alter their bet. It is suggested that all bets be set outside the betting circle and when the bet is correct, push the entire bet into the circle. Tournament chips must remain in front of players separated by denomination and in the view of all the players. In the event of a misdeal, players will not be given the opportunity to back out of the hand. Collusion among players or help from spectators is prohibited and will result in disqualification. The seventh spot in the finals will be determined by a wild card drawing. All entries in the tournament will be eligible. Entrants will have one (1) minute to claim wild card entry.
