TDA Position on minimum raise in NL?
October 23, 2006 by James.
Hi,
I am interested to know what the TDA view is regarding minimum NL raises in Tournaments.
Example: Blinds 100/200. Action Post Flop.
Player A bets 200, player B raises 200 to 400 total. For player C to MINIMUM raise must he either:
1/ raise 400, making a total of 800 to go.
2/ raise 200, making a total of 600 to go.
I have seen both of these rules in various tournaments around the world and would like to know if the TDA has a definite position on this.
Thanks, James.

tournament director errors
October 23, 2006 by leanbody.
The tournament director did a lousy job at our tournament. He wasn’t even focused on that task because he was really focused on winning. There were five of us left in the tourney and (player A) was sleepy and told (player B) to play for her. The “one player per hand” rule didn’t even cross the mind of anyone. That’s when the tournament director should have made a ruling, but didn’t. The game was altered from then on. Later on in the game, (player B) was freezing (we were playing in the garage) and let another eliminated person (player C…a formidable opponent) take over. That’s when a little complaining started, yet we continued playing with (team ABC). This was another opportunity for the TD to step in, but he didn’t. The three-person “team” won the tournament. The tournament director has decided not to award any prize money to (team ABC) and not to advance “them” to the championship. However, someone needs to be declared a winner and sent to the championship tourney. In the best interest of the game and fairness to the remaining players, what’s the best way to proceed? Should we continue playing the tournament based on how everything was before the rule was first broken? (chip counts and blind levels as close to accuracy as possible) We’ll never know who would have actually won that night, but I think this is the most fair way to find out who would go on to the championship. Any ideas?
