| Tournament failure. If a tournament fails BugsysClub will attempt to restart the tournament within 15
minutes. If the tournament cannot be restarted within 15 minutes the following rules will be applied:
If an event fails and less than 20% of the field has been eliminated, all results from that tournament are void and all buy-ins will be returned. At the discretion of BugsysClub support staff, the event may or may not be rescheduled. If the event is rescheduled the new start time will be within 2 hours of the crash time, and players will have at least 30 minutes to sign up for the event. No one will be automatically entered into the rescheduled event, it is the player's responsibility to join the waiting list. If 20% or more of the field has been eliminated at the time of tournament failure, each player will be assigned a finishing place according to their chip count at the time of the failure. Chip counts are based on the player's stack at the end of the last complete hand. The prize pool will be divided as evenly as possible among the remaining players. In the event that the prize pool cannot be divided evenly, odd amounts will be given to the players who had higher chip counts. Where the prizepool contains entries to further rounds the top chip counts currently in the qualifying positions at the time of the tournament failure will receive the qualifications. This does not apply to tournaments where less than 20% of the field have been eliminated. The places determined by chip count will also be used by any ranking or league system that the results of the crashed tournament might count toward. |
| In the event of any disputes the decision of BugsysClub.com will be final. |
