Sitters

A "sitter" is someone playing in a tournament that fails to adequately participate and let's the blinds gradually eat up their chip stack. They cause slow down in the game and frustration for participating players who want to get on with the game.

At NoPayPOKER all players in tournaments in which there is no entry fee will be subject to removal according to one simple rule: you must play one hand in every 15 hands dealt. Failure to play 1 hand in 10 will result in those players being dealt out prior to the dealing of the 16th hand of the table they are seated at. In such an event participating players may then be reseated to balance the tables for the whole tournament.

Players who fail to participate will be booted from freerolls, free SNGs and league games. Any player taken out for non-participation will forfeit any prize money due to them. They will not be removed from tournaments that require an entry fee.

Inactive Players

Players in cash games are given the ability to be dealt out of hands in the event that may wish to take a break. Unfortunately this can result in times where a player fails to be dealt back in again and therefore take up a seat at the table, which could be used by another player. Any player who is dealt out (inactive) for 10 hands in a row will be automatically removed from the seat to make way for other players. They may come back to the table and resume playing by relaunching the table from the lobby area.

Players who are flagged as "Away" in cash game will be removed sooner, after 2 hands.
