BSE™ Policies and Regulations

Members Only – Only registered members may participate at BSE™ events. Members must be at least 21 years of age and have valid photo identification at all events. Once registered, Members are assigned a 9 digit BSE ID to track BSE points earned at participating events. In order to receive points and qualify for invitational tournaments, Members must use their BSE ID when signing in and out at an event.
BSE™ Policies – All Members that register and participate in BSE™ events agree to adhere to all BSE™ policies and regulations. Any violations of BSE policies and regulations can result in disciplinary actions such as warnings, temporary suspension of playing privileges, or complete removal from the league, at the ED’s / Host’s discretion.  BSE™ Managers, Sponsors, Hosts, and/or Event Directors reserve the right to cancel any event, or alter it in a manner fair to the Members. Only English may be spoken at the table during play.
No Gambling – BSE™ is a FREE-TO-PLAY league.  In order to insure we remain lawful and protect our hosts and Members, ABSOLUTELY NO GAMBLING IS ALLOWED at our tournament events.  State law prohibits placing any form of currency on the poker table, so please do not place any money on the table during an event.  Pay the wait staff away from the tables to avoid any misunderstandings. Violating these rules is immediate grounds for expulsion from the event and disciplinary actions.
Inappropriate Behavior – Abusive behavior such as verbal or physical threats, chastising opponents play, obscene or profane language, creating a disturbance by arguing, shouting, or making excessive noise, throwing equipment, destroying property, or carrying a weapon is grounds for immediate suspension of playing privileges and can result in complete removal from the league, at the ED’s / Host’s discretion.
Bad Etiquette – The following actions are improper and can result in disciplinary actions: Touching other Members cards or chips, rabbit hunting, acting out of turn, splashing the pot, revealing another Members hand, interfering with the visibility of cards or chips, making statements or actions that might influence play in an unfair manner.
BSE™ Points – Top 16 finishers at every BSE™ session win points. It is the players responsibility to sign in and sign out with the ED and provide their BSE™ ID (EDs may ask to see valid photo ID for verification).
Blinds – BSE™ tournament events usually raise blinds every 15 minute. Blinds may be shortened or lengthened to accommodate play. BSE™ reserves the right to adjust blinds as necessary at ED discretion.
Conflict Resolution – All resolutions to conflicts regarding a hand may only be made before the next hand starts.
