At the Tournament Director’s discretion, this rule may be extended to other periods of tournament play.

36.   Friendly conversation is permitted during the tournament, but coaching is NOT allowed.

Failure to comply may result in penalties including disqualification and forfeiture of any prize money.

40.   A penalty MAY be invoked if a player exposes any card with action pending, throws a card off the table, violates the one-player-to-a-hand rule, or similar incidents take place.
