NO SUIT IS HIGHER THAN ANOTHER SUIT. Ties are broken by the next highest card if less than 5 cards are used to make the hand. If still tied after all 5 cards are used, the tie will be split but if not an even amount the extra smallest chip still in play will go the last aggressive action (ie. Bet or Raise).
Bonus Chips
Players will receive up to $2,500 chips based on the number of points they have received from previous tournaments with the minimum being $100 chip, if the player has played any previous event this past season. All players that have played at an event since the last championship will be eligible for points. Points will rank players and every player will receive a proportional amount of bonus chips rounded to the nearest $100 based on the player with the most points (receiving $2500). Chips will be given to the player with the Reserve Chips. Points will be awarded the following ways:
| Category | Points |
| General Tournament Place | 1 point inverse to the place compared to total players (ie. First place in a 9 person tournament will get 9 points) |
| Knock Out | 1pt per knock out |
| High Hand (4 of a Kind or Higher) | 1pt per Hand, 3pt if Highest of a General Tournament |
*Note the tournament championship will not be used to calculate points

Fera Special Rules
7-2 Rule – When a player is dealt 7-2 and WINS the hand, all players at the table shall pay the winning player the Small Blind, unless this would cause the player to bust out, then the player who would bust out doesn’t need to pay the bounty.
Bomb Pot – At the beginning of each blind level a bomb pot of the big blind will be played by all players, unless this would put a player all in, in this case the all in player will have the option to participate. The bomb pot play will not move the dealer button and the dealer for the bomb pot hand will be either the dealer from the last dealer position or the next dealer position as decided between the two eligible dealers. If not able to come to an agreement the dealer will be the last person to have dealt.
Running Multiple Plays – If all remaining players in the hand agree to run the board multiple times, this is acceptable only if a player in the hand is all in.
