Tournament Format
The tournament will follow the updated EMA rules , and will count towards EMA rankings. Sessions will run for 105 minutes. The bell will sound after 90 minutes, after which two more hands may be completed. (This is 15 minutes longer than most other EMA tournaments.)
Table assignments will be pre-set for all rounds with a best-effort made to ensure that no-one will play against the same opponent more than once. Lots will be drawn at the start of the tournament to determine each player's number in the schedule.
