| Tournaments |
The Team Full Tilt pros have put their heads together and designed the best online tournament environment you'll find anywhere. Their tournaments feature a wide variety of games, structures, and buy-ins designed to suit all types of players with all sorts of bankrolls. Whether you're looking to play a one-table Sit & Go (SNG) or a large multi-table tournament (MTT), you don't have to travel any further than the Full Tilt Poker Game Lobby to find the event you're looking for.
Full Tilt have all the normal tournaments you would find elsewhere, plus they have a few that are slightly different from the norm, such as:
Shootout
Do you have what it takes to be the last man standing? Find out by playing in Full Tilt Poker Shootout Tournaments.
Unlike standard Multi-Table Tournaments, where players are moved to keep the tables balanced as others are knocked out, each table in a Shootout Tournament plays down to a single winner − just like a Sit & Go. Win your table and you’ll move on to face the winners of the other tables in the tournament.
In a Double Shootout, players have to win their starting table before advancing to the final table. For example, a standard Double Shootout will have a field of 81 players, with the nine table winners moving on to the final table. In a Triple Shootout, players have to win two tables before advancing to the final table.
Knockout Bounty
Fulltiltpoker have also introduced Knockout Bounty Tournaments. Everyone loves to knock another player out of a tournament. Now you can get paid for it.
Knockout Bounty tournaments will follow the same rules as standard tournaments, except that the buy-in will be split between contributing to the prize pool and creating a bounty on each player. For example, a Knockout Bounty tournament with a buy-in of $10 + $1 will have $8 going to the prize pool and $2 as a bounty on each player. When you knock a player out of a tournament, the bounty money will be immediately credited to your account. |
