Poker Passport Redraws

[rcon]

Maybe players who are still in the game AND drawn out AND with less than 2k could be chipped to that amount, but how often would that actually happen.

Psst, I think that is what ALK was suggesting

Yeah, if your name is called out at the 2nd break and you've got a stack under 2000, you should be chipped up to 2000.

It still sucks tho - I went to all the trouble of risking my chips to kill your stack, I don't want you to have it back again!

It happens more often than you think, Macca. Sure, its not a nightly occurrence, but when it doesn happen, by golly, you'll wish a rule like this had have been implemented, like I suggested 2 seasons ago.

This is straight from the rules posted on this site?

9. Poker passports can only be redeemed for $1000 chips when; a players chips stack is equal to or less than $1000 AND they are not currently involved in a hand. The only time a passport can be redeemed, irrespective of stack size, is at the first break when it is treated as an add on. PLEASE NOTE: If a player is all in and has lost their chips, a completed stamp card must be presented before the start of the next deal to be redeemed. If the host is unable to redeem your card in that time, and all players agree, the card may be used as chips and a carry over will occur (see Section 6 Point 30). This will be used as a last resort and we ask all players to please slow down play and wait on the host’s instructions on any incidents of this sort.
Passport draws occur with the following criteria:
• At the end of the first break completed cards will be redrawn any player who is still live will receive an additional $1000 and any player who is out of the tournament will receive an additional $1500.
o Number of redraws is dependant on players:
 Tournaments with less than 60 runners will do 3 draws.
 Tournaments with more than 60 runners will do 5 draws.
• For tournaments with 40 or more runners a second draw will be conducted at the completion of the second break. There will be two draws in total and only eliminated players can be drawn back in, they will be re seated with $2000 in chips. Please Note: If at any time the tournament has only 25 runners or less no re draw is to be made.

Why would the rules change in the 2nd last week of the season when this is how it has been successfully played for the last 3 seasons.

Huh?

Annabelle isn't changing the rules - that's how its been for ages. And no one is advocating that we change the chip up rule for the last two weeks of the season. A change would be nice, yes, but if any were to be made, it'd be at the start of a new season.

Dols this is paragraph you have quoted is not clearly not correct, and is out of date. It has been the like first post by Annabelle for at least 2 seasons and has not been changed in the last two weeks of this season. The post was to remind players about the second redraw not happening in a tournament with less than 60 runners.
