There are new rules and regulations for this CrewCup:

Joining an Event:
- In any crew competition tournament, only players that are members of crews that have at least 3 members will be able to join and receive passwords for crew cup tournaments. A crew consists of a maximum of 6 players.


Crew Cup Points and Prizes:

- If you're a member of a crew with at least 3 members but have less than 3 participating in a crew cup tournament you will still be eligible for any prize pool that is offered (except for in the Finals) however your Crew will not earn any Crew Cup Pts.

- NOTE: If your crew has less than 3 members participating in a Crew Cup Final your crew will not be eligible for any points and/or prizes.

Submitting incorrect details:
- If you play in a Crew Cup tournament and submit the wrong poker alias on PS for that particular your placement will not count towards your crew score.

- ***We will not go back and change it for that event***

- If you need your alias changed before a particular event please email support at least 24hrs prior to the start of the tournament.

Password Leak:
*** Only Crews with at least 3 members can receive passwords so please do not give these out!!***

- Any PS member caught sharing our Passwords with non-members or non eligible members will be either banned or suspended from Pokerspace and potentially banned from that particular poker site.

- If non PS -members enters a crew cup tournament they will not be eligible for any points/prizes and we reserve the right to have that user banned from that particular poker site and from Pokerspace.

- If players from a crew with less than 3 members manage to enter a crew cup tournament they will not receive any points/prizes. We reserve the right to have this crew disqualified or suspended from the crew cup as well as suspending or banning the particular users from Pokerspace.

If non-eligible players place in a Crew Cup Tournament:
- If a player that is not on a crew with at least 3 members (manages to get in a crew tournament) and finishes in the money, he/she will be disqualified and not receive their cash payout. However, their position will not be removed from the final tournament standings with respect to the crew competition (ie. If a non-crew member finishes 1st and a qualifying players finishes 2nd, the qualifying player will STILL receive 2 points on their final crew score). If you are not on a crew with at least 3 members please sit out and allow your stack to be blinded off.

Crew teamwork
- In any team competition it is in the best interest of the team that its members play together and crew competitions are no different. Although poker rooms have rules against this behavior in regular tournaments, teamwork is completely acceptable in any crew competition tournament.

- Crewmates are allowed to play against each other however they choose, which includes any type of "chip dumping". Here are a few things to consider with respect to "chip dumping":

* In tournaments with > 50-100 players the opportunity to dump chips doesn't happen very often
* At times it is impossible to distinguish between a "chip dump", a bad poker play, and a misclick. For this reason it is nearly impossible to police chip dumping even if we thought it was best for the game.
* Chip dumping or similar play can backfire! In fact, many crews employ and discuss strategies of how to counter it.

Coss-crew teamwork

- While teamwork within a crew is acceptable, teamwork among multiple crews is strictly prohibited. This includes chip dumping and sharing hands.
- If there is any proof that this has occurred, forward all information possible (including hand histories) to support@pokerspace.com. If Pokerspace decides the proof is significant enough, the players will be disqualified and scores will not be counted.

- If this happens more than once Pokerspace reserves the right to disqualify, suspend or ban a crew from any or all future crew competitions.

Position of poker rooms "rules"

- As long as we run separate tourneys for crew events
Crew competition rules ONLY pertain to official crew events.

- All other events are subject to the regular poker room rules and may result in suspension by the host poker room or Pokerspace. If you suspect players are demonstrating chip Dumping and/or collusion in any games outside of the Crew Competition events, it is your duty to submit this information to the support team of the host Poker Room (and not poker space) as they have a qualified Fraud & Security team to review these instances.

Comments or Suggestions:
- Give us your feedback and we will take all constructive suggestions into consideration for future Crew Cup tournaments. Please email support@pokerspace.com.
