Shoot Out Tournaments

Unlike a normal multi-table tournament where tables are balanced by moving players around, shoot out tournaments will play each table down to a set number of players in each round until there is a final table remaining.

A simple example is a Shootout tournament with 100 entrants. Ten tables with ten players each will begin the tournament for round one. A certain number of players from each table will progress to round two (the number will change depending on the tournament). In our example, the top three players from each table will advance, meaning a total of 30 players remain. Round two will begin with three tables of ten, and again the top three players of each table will progress to the next round, with nine players battling it out at the final table!

Shootouts are definitely exciting but require a different strategy then regular MTT’s.



Final Table uses Standard Tournament Payout based on number of players at final table.

Do we have any members with exciting participation stories?

I have played a couple times in these shoot out tourneys and have had fun in them. Gives a new twist on the game action.

It's been a couple years since i have played in one of them and i don't think i advanced too far if my memory serves me right. But i know it was a nice twist from the typical tournaments.
