Blackjack tournaments
Typically, a blackjack tournament consists of several rounds of play amongst six or more players competing against each other. It consists of play by elimination where only one or two players at each table will advance to the next level.
Most tournaments have 3 to 5 elimination rounds. A typical format will have two players from each table of six going on to the next round, one player from each table of six advancing from the second round and then on to the final table. This will lead to six players playing at the final table allowing for 108 entries at eighteen first round tables.
Every round has a specific number of hands and players will commence will an equal number of chips. At the end of every round, the player with the highest bankroll will move ahead. A round is usually about 15-30 hands in duration.
Some tournaments use live money chips while other are played with non-negotiable chips with no cash value.
Tournament play has a unique dealer button system. Instead of the dealer always starting to deal at the first seat, a button is placed on the table in front of the player indicating that the player is first bas for this hand. The button then moves around the table with every hand. Thus, betting and playing takes place in this order only.
The prize money differs with every tournament and can range from $10 to $500 or even $1000. Most tournaments pay at least six places. Typically if the entry fee is high, the payout may also be significantly higher.
