6. Re-Entry - This tournament is a freezeout - therefore no re-entry will be offered in this tournament.
7. Time Bank - Players have 30 seconds to act on their hand during this tournament. Each player is issued 2 x 30-second time bank chips when they enter the tournament, at each break all players will be topped up to 2 time banks to ensure no player is disadvantaged and an additional time bank is awarded to all remaining players upon reaching the final table.
   Time Bank Procedure: 
   When a player faces action the dealer will begin a 30-second countdown timer. The dealer will clearly count down the last 5 seconds to act on this timer as a warning that time is running out.
   If a player clearly has not acted before the countdown reaches zero:
   One time bank chip will be collected and the dealer will restart a new 30-second timer. 
   If the player has no time bank chips remaining, their hand will be declared dead and their hand will be mucked.  Or if they're not facing aggressive action then they will be forced to check.
   Time Bank Rulings:
   It is the player's responsibility to clearly announce or make their action. 
   In close situations where it is unclear whether the action was completed before time ran out, rulings will favour the player.
   If it is clear no action occurred before time expired, the appropriate penalty will be applied: a time bank chip will be taken if available; otherwise, the hand will be mucked.
   Time banks are not to be given to another player under any circumstance. Anyone caught doing so will be removed from the tournament and denied re-entry to the tournament. They are to be returned to the dealer when eliminated, players will be allocated 2 new time bank chips when they re-enter.
