Rummy Tournaments:

What are tournaments and how they are conducted?
Tournaments are games played in multi – table in multi – level format with multiple winners at the end. Tourneys are conducted at pre – scheduled time which will be announced in the website with required terms and conditions.

Currently we have two types of tournaments:
1. Free Tournaments: Entry to these tournaments is free. Eligible players can register to the tourney for free and win real cash.
2. Cash Tournaments: Entry to these tournaments is with pre-defined registration charges. Players registering to these tourneys will be charged with an entry free which will be debited from available cash balance in rummy account.

All tournaments are playing on upto 6 players table where upto 6 players can play. total players will be divided by 6 that much tables will open automatically and each table will have 6 players max and according the players levels will be generated automatically. Example: if we schedule tournaments for 100 players then in first level 17 tables will open and 16 tables will have 6 players each and 17th table will have remaining 4 players. In the first level 6 rounds will be played in game on each table. After first level from each table one player will become winner and will join automatically in second level with another players. from first level 17 players will become winners and second level will start and all table will merge and will open 3 tables only and 2 table will have 6 players each and 3rd table will have 5 players. Then after 6 rounds in second level 1 winner will become from each table and total 3 players. Then all tables will merged automatically and one table will open and 3 players will play for 6 rounds on third level. then finally one player will become top winner and he/she will awarded for prices given for this tournaments. But if tournament is giving prices for top 5 players then from top winner players position will calculate automatically and given prices will distribute to top 5 players.

Tournaments Rules:

Every player is given a fixed number of tournament chips at the beginning. The tournament chips are refreshed for every valid show declared by a player. Based on tourney chips accumulation the tournament ranking and winners will be declared at the end of the tournament.

Every turn is allotted with 30 seconds time and 45 sec extra time is given. You get 45 seconds for whole game round. There tournaments depending upon number of players. Every level will have 6 rounds on table to play rummy game to declare winner from table/level.

Scoring during tourney will be as below:

The first player to declare valid show is winner of the game and he gets 0 points.

If game is dropped in the first turn (first drop), you get 20 points.

If game is dropped after first turn (middle drop), you get 40 points.

If wrong show is declared, he/she gets full count (80 points) and the game continues till a valid show is placed.

If opponent places a valid show, as per the valid sets, sequences and melding of the cards, the cards which are not melded will be counted for score.

Calculation of score for the players who do not win:

The points will be counted for all deadwood cards – that is all the cards that are not melded in sequences or sets as per the rules of rummy.

J, Q, K, A of any suite carry 10 points each.

All other numbered cards carry the same points as their face value e.g. 8 carries 8 points and 5 carries 5 points.

Joker cards (both printed and card) carry zero points

If the losing player has not been able to meld a pure sequence, all cards are counted

If the losing player does not have two sequences, but only has a pure sequence, only the pure sequence is not counted

A player can get a maximum of 80 points. For instance, if a player’s hand score is 85 he/she will still get only 80 points. But if a player’s hand score is 75, he/she will get 75 points.
