Rule 20 - At Your Seat
- 20.1
'AT' your seat is defined as being within reach or touch of your chair.
- 20.2
'IN' your seat is defined as being seated in your chair, with the exception to allow a player to temporarily stand up.
- 20.3
A player must be 'IN' their seat by the time the last card is dealt, which completes the initial deal. A player NOT in their seat will have a 'dead hand.'
- In Board playing / Flop games, a player must be 'IN' their seat by the time the last card is dealt to the player with the 'dealer button,' which defines the completion of the initial deal.
- In Seven-card and Razz type games, a player must be 'IN' their seat by the time the last player receives their final UP card, which defines the completion of the initial deal.
- 20.4
A player must remain 'IN' their seat until their action has been completed. A player LEAVING their seat before completing their action will be considered as intentionally folding out of turn and will receive a penalty. Dealers will be responsible to notify a Floor Person and/or the Tournament Director of any player with a live hand who intentionally leaves their seat prior to completing their action. Repeated infractions are subject to escalating penalties.
- 20.5
Players who have completed their action and are awaiting an opponent(s) action will not have to remain 'IN' their seat, but must remain 'AT' the table. A player must be 'AT' their seat by 'call' time, in order to turn their hand 'face up.'
