                     WORLD REC.GAMLING POKER TOURNAMENT II

SETTING UP THE TOURNAMENT

After sign-ups are completed, players will be randomly  assigned  to  
10-player tables  (or as close as we can get to it).  Each table will
play until there is a predetermined number of players left, according 
to the following scheme:


90 -> 9 tables of 10 -> 3 from each to 3 tables -> 3 from each at final
100 -> 10 tables of 10 -> 3 from each to 3 tables -> 3 from each at final
110 -> 10 tables of 11 -> 3 from each to 3 tables -> 3 from each at final
etc.

The above table is a guideline.  For slightly different number of players
a suitably modified setup will be determined.

Players  who  survive  the  first round carry their bankroll to the next
round.  All players going to the next round are randomly  distributed
over  the  newly formed  tables.    And so on until there is one winner 
at the final table.  The starting hand number for all the final tables 
will be equal to the largest number of hands played at any table, + one.

STARTING BANKROLL

Each player starts with $10,000.

ANTES AND BLINDS

Rather  than  increasing antes and blinds based on time, they will be
increased based on the number of hands played at each individual  table. 
At  each  table, antes  and  blinds  go  up  every 20 hands.  When this
happens, a new dealer is assigned at random.  After every 80 hands, seats
will be redrawn  (within  each table only).

The small blind is to the left of the dealer. Both blinds are live.

GENERAL RULES

   1. The World Rec.Gambling Poker Tournament is played for ether dollars,
      and the game  is  Texas  Hold'em  of  the  NO-LIMIT  (table  stakes)
      variety.    This  is  a  "winner  take all" eliminations tournament.
      Eliminations procedures and betting (Blinds) structures are detailed
      above. 

   2. All  the "dealing" will be by computer, and all the mechanics of the
      hands  (shuffling,  dealing,  pot  handling,  bankrolls  management,
      awarding  of  pots,  etc.) will be handled by automated server.  Any
      rules adjustments and/or playing procedures required by the  server,
      will be considered (detailed) in an ancillary document which will be
      provided to all contestants.


POKER RULES

   1. Before the Flop, action begins left of the Blind.  First player left
      of the Blind may Call the Blind Bet, or he can Raise any amount from
      the  amount  of  the  Blind  to his entire bankroll.  Any subsequent
      player may likewise Call or Raise any amount  equal  to  or  greater
      than the preceeding Bet or Raise.  Smallest chip in the game is $25;
      this does not change at any time during the tournament.

   2. A player who cannot cover the bet must go "all-in" or Fold.  A short
      bet  from  an  "all-in"  player receives action on the amount of the
      bet, and a "side-pot" will be created.  Side pot(s) go the the  best
      hand involved in them.

   3. If  a  player  in  the  big blind does not have enough money left to
      cover the big blind, he is all-in, and play continues as if  he  had
      posted  the  full amount of the big blind, ie. the action will still
      be the size of the big blind to the next player.

   4. After the Flop, and subsequently, play begins with the player to the
      left of the dealer "button".

   5. Check and Raise is legal.

   6. If a hand ends with Bet and Call(s) or Check and Check(s), all hands
      involved in the action will be exposed, and the pot will be  awarded
      to the best hand.  Cards speak.

   7. No limit on the number of raises.

   8. A  raise  must  be  equal to at least the size of the largest bet or
      raise on that same round.

   9. The minimum bet or raise is the size of the big blind.

  10. If the player with the big blind is eliminated,  the  dealer  button
      does  not  move  prior  to the next deal, and there will be no small
      blind.

  11. In the event of extreme delay of one or more  "tables",  adjustments
      (acceleration) of the blinds  structures  will  be  implemented  for
      that game(s).
