Luvin Poker Team Play Rules

1. Each team will consist of a minimum of three (3) players up to a maximum of seven (7) with one (1) player designated as the “Team Captain”. Teams may consist of all male players, all female players, or any combination thereof.

2. Team Captains will be responsible for recruiting players to their respective teams and determining which players will play in the designated team events. In addition Team Captains will be responsible for paying the $125 team fee by the stated deadline.

3. Three private tournaments will be established for each team play event. Each starting player will be placed at different tables. Team Captains will determine which player will be seated at which table. Any Captain or player who knowingly or unknowingly plays at a table where they were not assigned in considered “table switching” and will result in a penalty point for the team (-1).

4. Each team will be represented by three (3) players per event, designated as “starters”. All other players on the team roster will be designated as “alternates” for that event. Starting lineups must be PMed to Mastro 12 hours prior to the scheduled start of the team event. Failing to submit a lineup on time will result in a penalty point for the team (-1).

5. Any player designated as a starter may be replaced by an alternate at the Team Captain’s discretion prior to the start of the private tournament. All player substitutions should be posted in the Team Play Lineup thread in the Captain’s Forum.

Fourth place, 5 points

8. Final Point Totals: Each team score from designated events will be added together over the course of team play. The team with the most total points at the end of the session will be declared the winner.

9. Tie-Breaker: In the event that two or more teams have an equal score at the conclusion of the Team Play session, the team with the most individual first place finishes will be declared the winner. If the tied teams have equal numbers of individual first place finishes, the tied teams will face off in a single three table tournament to determine the overall winner.
