Shootout Tournaments

Right.... And the fun part is that each round is like a SnG with a price pool. 1-2-3 get paid... and do ya get 3 in the first round, the buyin + some is won.

Below is a pic of the payout structure for a 5,5+0,5 buyin game with 756 joining...
thats by the way 76 tables in first round, 23 tables in second round, 7 tables third round and a finish with 21 players battling for the win.
- and prizes for top 3 on all tables each round.

This makes the game form VERY exiting. Just remember back last time ya played a game with 750 players... it's so boring for the first 2 hours.
- here action all the way!

Doc... Could it be possible with such a game somewhere? I know that PartyPoker hosts these games. It could be fun with a all members game - freeroll or buyin.
- I'll be there!!!

ive playedshootout at partypoker. like the way youre paid in each round. but you can be left waiting for other tables to finish, which is a bit annoying if youre table finishes first.

Shootout Tournaments

More payouts - shorter tournaments - more fun!
Shootout tournaments are an exciting variation to our standard multi-table tournament format. A Shootout tournament can be one, two, three or fourrounds depending on the number of players that enter.

Rounds 1, 2 and 3

• Tables will not be collapsed and players only play against the other players at their table
• Players advance if they are one of the three remaining players at their table
• Players that advance are paid a portion of the prize pool for that round
• Players will advance with the chips that they have won

Round 4

• Round 4 is played out in a standard multi-table tournament format
• Payouts in Round 4 follow a standard multi-table payoff schedule based on the number of players that enter the round and the remaining prize pool

In a Shootout, the tournament play is faster and more players get paid!

Here's an example of how a Shootout tournament works:

Number of Entrants: 110

Round 1
This round will begin with 11 tables, 10 players per table. The round will finish when there are three players left at each table. There will be 11 first place finishers, 11 second place finishers and 11 third place finishers – all of whom will be paid and will advance to Round 2.

Round 2
This round begins with four tables, which will consist of three tables with eight players per table and one table with nine players. The round will finish when there are three players left at each table. There will be four first place finishers, four second place finishers and four third place finishers – all of which will get paid and advance to Round 3.

Round 3
This round begins with two tables, six players per table. The round will finish when there are three players left at each table. There will be two first place finishers, two second place finishers and two third place finishers – all of which will get paid and advance to Round 4.

Round 4
This round begins with one table seating six players. The round and tournament will finish when only one player with chips remains. Round 4 payouts are based on a standard multi-table format (if less than 10 players begin Round 4 then the payouts will be 50% to first, 30% to second place and 20% to third place). In this example the first, second and third place finishers from Round 4 will be paid.
