When the lowest denomination of chip will no longer be used in the blind or ante structure, they will be removed from the tournament.
All lower-denomination chips will be exchanged or 'colored up' for chips of the next lowest denomination that will be used in play.
The 'tournament staff' will announce the 'color up' process. The 'color up' will be done on all tables and only at the time as prescribed on the tournament structure sheet.
The 'color up' process will begin at the end of a level, prior to the new level. Players are to present their lower denomination chips to the dealer for exchange.
Any remaining 'odd chip' will be entered into the 'chip race.'
Players are encouraged to witness the entire 'color up' process.
