Both proof of vaccination and evidence of medical contraindication can be either printed or electronic. It includes:

The important differences between a Re-Buy and a Re-Entry.
The terms Re-Buy and Re-Entry are often used interchangeably to refer to how a player can continue to take part in a poker game after losing all their chips.
In both cases the player pays a fee, receives another stack of chips, and continues playing.
However, these terms refer to two quite different ways in which a player is able to buy back into a game.
These differences usually don’t matter for single-table games, but they are important for multi-table tournaments.
RE-BUY
A Re-Buy is where a player, who has just lost all their chips, is immediately given the option to buy another stack of chips and continue playing at the same table without leaving their seat.
(If a Player needs to obtain funds, his chips are placed on the table immediately, so that the order of play, including the movement of the dealer button and especially the posting of the small and big blinds, is not affected.)
For the purposes of tracking the state of the game, a player who Re-Buys does not count as either a knockout or a new player entry.
They’re counted only as an additional Re-Buy.
RE-ENTRY
A Re-Entry is where a player, who has just lost all their chips, leaves the table they were playing at and pays to enter the tournament again as if they were joining the tournament as a new player.
(This also allows a Player the option to go away and come back and Re-Enter prior to the end of Late Registration)
They receive a full starting stack of chips and are randomly allocated another seat.
Because in this case the knocked-out player leaves their seat, the order of play and possibly the amount of blinds posted at the table they left could be affected if the position of the newly-vacant seat receives the dealer button or would have been required to post a blind on the next hand dealt.
For the purposes of tracking the state of the game, a player who Re-Enters firstly counts as a knockout and then, after buying back in, counts as a new player entry.
Re-Buys and Re-Entries During a Game
From the TD's point of view, there are a few differences to consider concerning money, chips, and keeping a tally of player entries and rebuys.
Depending on the structure of your game, differentiating between Re-Buy and Re-Entries could be essential to accurately tracking the current state of the game, such as the current number of players and the total prize pool.
From a player’s point of view, the difference is simply whether they can continue playing in the same seat (a Re-Buy) or have to move to another table (a Re-Entry).
We welcome established and new players.

Brisbane Poker United use the International Rules of Poker.
Click the link below:
Brisbane Poker United have adopted the following changes to the International rules of Poker:
1. Acting Out of Turn. This includes Betting, Calling, Raising or Folding.
(Folding Out of Turn includes leaving the table after your cards have been dealt, but before it is your turn).
PENALTIES THAT APPLY ARE AS FOLLOWS:
We strictly enforce the following rules:
2. Big Blind Ante. Rule 39.4.5
(Big Blind is posted before the Ante).
Should a Player on the Big Blind & Ante position be all-in for just the value of an Big Blind or less, should they win,
they will win their bet amount multiplied by the number of players who called that bet plus the Ante.
As an example:
If there are 52 Players - 10% of 52 = rounded down to 5 plus 1, so Top 6 get paid.
If there are 56 Players - 10% of 56 = rounded up to 6 plus 1, so Top 7 get paid.
If a Tournament has an Add-On, additional places will be paid based on:
Total Add-Ons divided by (Buy-In cost divided by Add-On cost and then Rounded Up)
e.g. 36 Add-Ons / ($140 / $50 = 2.8 Rounded up to 3) = Add 12 Players to the Total Player number.
As an example:
ICM poker (Independent chip model) allows players to estimate the value of their stack at any given point in a tournament.
This is quite important as ICM can—especially in the late stages of the tournament—have a very significant impact on the decisions you make.
An easy call in the early stages of the tournament may turn into an easy fold on the final table, depending on the various ICM factors.
Why Does ICM Exist only in Tournaments?
The reason Independent Chip Model exists only in tournaments is quite simple.
In a cash game, $1.000 is worth exactly $1.000. If you have 50% equity or more when facing an all-in, it will be a profitable play to call off your chips no matter what.
In a tournament however, even if you win all the chips you will only win a percentage of the prize pool. Having 10% of all the chips in play doesn’t make your stack worth 10% of the prize pool.
How valuable your chips are at a given point will depend on:
This year paying the EOY Prizepool fee will be optional.
A Player may choose to pay for the EOY Prizepool fee one game and then not the next. It is entirely up to them.
If a Player pays for the EOY Prizepool fee and then Re-Enters into the same Tournament, then the Player MUST pay the EOY Prizepool fee for the Re-Entry.
If a Player does NOT pay for the EOY Prizepool fee and then Re-Enters into the same Tournament, then the Player CANNOT pay the EOY Prizepool fee for the Re-Entry.
A Buy-In and a Re-Entry in the same Tournament only qualifies as ONE game.
To qualify for the End of Year Grand Final to be held on Saturday 16th & Sunday 17th December 2023, a Player must play a minimum of 12 games.
The following games in any combination are designated as EOY Prizepool fee games:
Thursday night - $70 Buy-In (plus optional $5 fee)
Friday night - $140 Buy-In (plus optional $10 fee)
Sunday arvo - $280 Buy-In (plus optional $20 fee) (Sunday $550 Buy-In games do not qualify for points)
Points accrue from Thursday 5th of January 2023 up to Thursday 14th of December 2023, for the End of Year Grand Final.
Points awarded are based on the number of Players who entered the Tournament (Buy-Ins AND Re-Entries) multiplied by the Total cost of the Tournament Buy-In divided by 4.
To calculate approx how many chips each Player will be awarded:
Enter the Buy-In Amount.
e.g Thurday $75, Friday $150 or Sunday $300 (these amounts include the EOY points fee.)
Enter number of Players.
(Total of all Buy-Ins AND Re-Entries)
Points for a Buy-In.
Points for a Re-Entry (when applicable)
In addition, extra points are awarded to the 9 Players who make it to Final Table as follows:
1st Place:
2nd Place:
3rd Place:
4th Place:
5th Place:
6th Place:
7th Place:
8th Place:
9th Place:
All points accrued will be used as your Starting Stack for the End of Year Grand Final, rounded UP to the nearest 100.
There will be NO Add-On for this years Grand Final.
All chips of Players who have qualified, will be tabled for 2 hours and if a Player has not attended by this point in time
(unless they have advised us that they are running late), then that Players chips will be removed from play.
If a Player advises that they are unable to attend prior to the event, then those chips will not be tabled.
The following amounts will be added on for each Event to contribute to the End of Year Prizepool.
Thursday night $70 (1 Re-Entry):
PLUS $5 from each Buy-In and/or Re-Entry.
Friday night $140 (1 Re-Entry):
PLUS $10 from each Buy-In and/or Re-Entry. No money will be deducted from the Add-On.
Sunday arvo $280 Freezeout:
PLUS $20 from each Buy-In.
Sunday arvo $550 Freezeout:
This game is a NON points game.
New Years Series Tournaments or Special Tournaments on other days/nights, do not qualify for points and do not count towards the 12 game total.
Satellite Tournaments do not qualify for points and do not count towards the 12 game total.
A Trophy will be awarded to the Winner of the End of Year Grand Final.
Brisbane Poker United reserve the right to amend any conditions.
Subject to State Government Health Regulations that are applicable.
When small denomination chips are no longer useful in a Tournament, we remove them from play by using the "Chip Up" method.
This involves exchanging any smaller denomination chips to the next larger denomination, and any left-over smaller denomination chips are then exchanged for one larger denomination Chip.
This method is used to help speed up the game, by not having to perform a "race-off", as well as eliminating the luck factor of a "race-off".
Additional chips values created by this rounding up, increase the Total Chip count by less than .05% on average.
