Creating an online poker tournament can be a daunting task for even the most experienced tournament organizer. It is important to remember that online poker tournaments are essentially a series of mini-tournaments with a single winner. To create an online poker tournament, you first need to set up a series of mini-tournaments with different prize structures. The prize structures can be simple, such as awarding the first place finisher in each mini-tournament with a fixed prize, or they can be more complex, awarding first place in each mini-tournament with a percentage of the total prize pool. Once you have set up the mini-tournaments, it is time to set up the online poker tournament.
The online poker tournament can be set up in a variety of ways, but the most common way is to use a Swiss format. In Swiss format, players are divided into groUPS and play against each other in a round robin fashion. The player who finishes in the top spot in each group advances to the next round, and the player who finishes in last place in each group is eliminated from the tournament. After all of the groUPS have been completed, the players who remain are winners of the online poker tournament.
