Final game of 20 week league[top 40 qualify]. One player does not turn up[I think this is known to management]. What happens to his chips?

not enough info for a ruling here. is it just a case of they haven't turned up by the start? in that case they might show up later so chips must be in play. or have they said they def won't be coming?
do all players start with the same stacks or do points earned in the league determine stack size? if stacks are different then the chips should really all be in play to keep the balance.
probs a few more variables too

My exact thoughts. T.D's decision was to divide chips among rest of table. I voiced my extreme disapproval when I found out[about 20 mins. into tourney but got little support from rest of players. Poker in Glasgow is beyond a joke.

what? so the chips got divided between just that table and not all 39 players? thats just insane.
gatso the chips were staggered so top 4 get same chips then , next 4 etc, stu will confirm

If the player has made it clear they won't be attending then the chips don't go out IMO.
If the tournament has started and the chips are in play then they should remain so till said player blinds out.
under NO circumstances should those chips be re-distributed out amongst others on that table.
Who was TD Stu? I'm sure Andy wouldn't have made such a daft decision!!??

think it was known before hand that this guy couldnt make it cos he was going on holiday, so the chips shouldnt even be on the table to start with

I don't think it makes much difference mate. Its the principle of the matter, the decision was wrong and it puts others at an unfair advantage. Knowing Stuart I am sure had he been the benefactor of such a daft decision he'd still have spoke up against it. Its a farce. |

wow There are some imbeciles in there who have dealt with tournaments in Andy's absence and have made some baffling decisions in the past. Normally Andy gets things spot on but this incident does not do anything for his reputation as a cardroom supervisor IMO. |
